no bad ending...

The latest season of Games of Throne has ended. How do the die-hard fans respond? They totally went ballistic, demanding a re-write of the script and re-shooting of the whole season. The viewers, mostly from Generation-Y and millennials, were brought up believing that they can have everything their way. All they have to do is ask. Nobody is a loser. Living under the umbrella of their helicopter parents who rewarded mediocrity, for them, it is their right. Win, they must, they think they get away with murder. For them, it is their way or the highway. There is only one way, their way. And they want not now but yesterday. What really matters is their desires. Others can just get lost. And they have just the perfect way to air their grievances, their dirty linen to air, in public domain.

 We have to understand that not everything in life is under our control. We sometimes cannot even control ourselves. Definitely, creative juices cannot be contained. Just because you pay for the media control, it does not mean you control the storyline. Come to think of it, they already have that. It is called interactive TV. It is like a multiple choice response to how the viewer wants the story to progress!

 Nietzche rightly predicted that Man of the future will spend a vast amount of time in appreciating, not the great feats of mankind but at their trivialities. Maybe like hunting for Pikachu monsters or keeping up with the Kardashians.

 This evolution is inevitable when the day to day issues, like the next meal, basic amenities and education are available at will. As it is human nature to be fickle and bicker, to keep the neurons firing, they ponder on irrelevant issues like choosing the right eye-shadow or eavesdropping into others' private lives just for the kick of it!

Gory historic details or gore fest?

Razakar:  The Silent Genocide Of Hyderabad  (Telegu, 2024) Director:  Yata Satyanarayana In her last major speech before her disposition, Sheikh Hasina accused those who opposed her rule in Bangladesh of being Razakars. The opposition took offence to this term and soon widespread mob throughout the land. Of course, it is not that that single incident brought down an elected government but a culmination of joblessness and unjust reservations for a select population group. In the Bengali psyche, Razakar is a pejorative term meaning traitor or Judas. It was first used during the 1971 Pakistan Civil War. The paramilitary group who were against the then-East Pakistani leader, Majibur Rehman, were pro-West Pakistan. After establishing independence in Bangladesh, Razakars were disbanded, and many ran off to Pakistan. Around the time of Indian independence, turmoil brewed in the princely state of Hyderabad, which had been a province deputed by the Mughals from 1794. The rule of N...

The products of a romantic star of the yesteryear!

Now you see all the children of Gemini Ganesan (of four wives, at least) posing gleefully for the camera after coming from different corners of the world to see the ailing father on his deathbed. They seem to found peace with the contributor of their half of their 46 chromosomes. Sure, growing up must have been hell seeing their respective mothers shedding tears, indulgence in unhealthy activities with one of them falling prey to the curse of the black dog, hating the sight of each step sibling, their respective heartaches all because of the evil done by one man who could not put his raging testesterones under check! Perhaps,the flashing lights and his dizzying heights that his career took clouded his judgement. After all, he was only human... Gems of Gemini Ganesan L-R: Dr Revathi Swaminathan, Narayani Ganesan, Dr Kamala Selvaraj, Rekha, Vijaya Chamundeswari   and Dr Jaya Shreedhar.  ( Abs:  Radha Usman Syed, Sathish Kumaar Ganesan) Seeing six of Ge...

Chicken's Invite? (Ajak-ajak ayam)

In the Malay lingo, the phrase 'ajak-ajak ayam' refers to an insincere invitation. Of course, many of us invite for courtesy's sake, but then the invitee may think that the invitation is for real! How does anyone know? Inviters and invitees must be smart enough to take the cue that one party may have gatecrashed with ulterior motives, or the other may not want him to join in the first place! Easily twenty years ago, my family was invited to a toddler's birthday party. As my children were toddlers, too, we were requested to come early so that my kids could run around and play in their big compound. And that the host said she would arrange a series of games for them to enjoy. So there we were in the early evening at a house that resembled very little of one immersed in joy and celebration. Instead, we were greeted by a house devoid of activities and no guests. The host was still out shopping her last-minute list, and her helper was knee-deep in her preparations to ...
