Well everyone's going gaga over Aamir Khan and his "Taare Zameen Par"..........classes,masses and even highly critical jerks like me.
So much so that he is right now hailed as the poster boy of innovation and the spirit of honest story telling in bollywood among the current generation of movie makers.
I always believed that "genious recognized" is basically the presence of the right person, at the right place, at right point of time. In that case, should one person's ingenuity be measured against other's public acceptance.
Well , am being hazy here, i just read a blog of some Aamir Khan fan saying that had Sanjay Leela Bhansali made TZP, then it would have probably been like this:
1)Salman as the teacher.
2)Rani as the mother.
3)Of course the whole film would be shot on elaborate sets. The school would be nothing short of Harvard university.
4)An orchestra would play every time anyone cried.
5)Slow motion, different camera angles for every scene.
6)The school uniforms would match the classroom walls even though that does not make a difference.
7)The film would cost 60 crores.
So, the genious recognized here was compared to the genious unrecognized.
This way the perception of honest creativity will change every weekend, like it usually does on the blogosphere.
So what am I doing here, defending the biggest disaster of the year??
No am defending the creative idea behind it......
How come??
This is how...............
You read and hear about so many sexy,sleazy movies releasing every other weekend........from murder to julie to what not............ does anyone of them even come close to making u feel the oomph like "Basic Instinct", or does anyone of them actually come close to flirting with your romantic imagination like "Bobby", so in this age of too many movies with too much skin show, or boy meets girl story ending up with a "maahi ve" where every family member does a bituva presley is what we get to see in the name of romantic movies in our generation.
So if a person made an attempt to the create an out of the world romantic environ adding a teaspoon of reality and actually comes close to meeting the purpose(remember that last scene where it snows in the city and almost looks like a love-making scene without having being one)
but somehow goes unrecognized (bad release time(dont show such movies during diwali maaan)) should his creative intellect be compared to someone else..........u tell me now??
You see spiderman and start clapping in joy, you see him giving up his girl friend to meet some higher purpose of which he has no idea........u shed a tear for him saying......... he rocks!!!!!
But do you really recognize the super hero around u.......... inside u........ a millionaire giving up his wealth to a charity without leaving anything for his own son, a whore with a heart of gold(Rani Mukherji),a person keeping up his promise inspite of all odds(salman khan), a super charming guy who is human enough to feel jealous enough to destroy his love's message for her love and still being absolutely incapable of any pain or guilt at the end of the day(Protagonist)..........well u don really clap for him or say.......... awww (tears)................
So let's not debate on the creative concept of that movie........... he couldn't deliver not that he couldn't think......... :)
So thatz the definition ,who decides what is genious......... as u see it(i.e. genious recognized) ...... it is just the right person at the right place at the right point of time........
So, before pointing a finger remember if u are a person who believes in the power of human brain going the unseen distance...........this could be you tommorow.

Sydney Test
Well wassup the headlines..............
1)30,00 thousand people heard the knick........and he still didn't walk away???
2)Why was the TV umpire not consulted????
OK OK.....agreed..........India got a bad deal,lost something which they looked like taking away at one point of time...............and all that because ................probably a few people(officials) could have done a better job......agreed......
Now, what do you expect, the umpires punished,match officials fined,suspension rolled back........and probably match annulment(with records intact i hope for the sake of sachin's 38th and kumble's 100) , all asian teams getting united,lot of pomp and show,boards sending letters of apology,sponsors playing the unseen big brother(India means money dude) press reporters fighting for justice,bloggers creating an atmosphere..blah blah...............and then like in all cute and sweet "realistic" movies(yeah realistic..don't u know "saawariya " bombed)...............justice prevailing.................huh........so much to a test match.
For me past is past, i look at solutions,only solutions.
So what is the most popular suggestion.............i.e. to avoid another such "sydney test" ::USE TECHNOLOGY,use cameras,use short circuit ones,use sonometers,snickometers.....change the rules,let anyone appeal......................grrr8 solution...........yeah grrr8 solution.........Before i comment more letz do a future watch.
Year "2080"
Technology is so advanced that probably....there is a brain mapping chip...polynucleotide processor...which has just a few terabytes of RAM.........and when it runs an OS with about 1024 tasks in the queue....and it probably gives u a 0.000000000000000001 secs delay..it gets reported at the highest level as a production defect..............and leads to product unpopularity.....................huh
Say in that age, whatever's on the field is on every person's wrist watch in the stadium...................
Then there is a super dominating team called "ICANTLOOSE" .....................playing against another team called "CRICISMYRELIGION".............great competition.....great game............then "CRICISMYRELIGION" are in a dominating position,with their opponents down at 143/6 and another edge goes to the first slip..........the whole of "CRICISMYRELIGION" starts jumping as everyone has seen it,everyone knows it...itz on every camera...........now stored in over a zillion hard disks(itz 2080 dude).....and hola...........umpire feels there is "electromagnetic interference" in his camera..............he just moves confirms with the batsman looks at his mate(the other partner)........the batsman says no........not at all................the umpires feel.............o maan they are "ICANTLOOSE" .............are u kidding...........wat if they loose...........wat if ...............naaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnn.............yeah ur right...........u r not out........The opposition captain...a very modest,hardworking gentleman...comes up and appeals again...........REACTION::go away we are the bosses here.Captain is too much of a gentleman to ask his team to walk off................so result the same...........
Hooha "CRICISMYRELIGION" aaya "CRICISMYRELIGION" :D
Long ,nerdy, boring story right..............this situation will keep repeating till as long as time lasts...........technology is not the solution....it is like treating the patient,not the disease.
Solution:Next time this happens,now or 2080............don't wait...don't try to avoid the fuss.....don't let the bomb tick....walk away.....just walk away.........object to that decision right there, right then and walk away..............(GAVASKAR was a grrr8 player).........
Technology can only take u this far.............from there on u have to take a few leaps of conviction.
