Ek Anek aur Ekta

While searching for some, um, ‘stuff’ in Desitorrents, I came across the documentary section. I looked into it curiously and found some great stuff. Out of which one I downloaded instantly. It is a short movie by NFDC (National Film Development Council) titled, “Ek, Anek aur Eketa” (One, Many and Oneness). The film would be familiar those who have seen Doordarshan some 10-15 years back. It is an animation about the strength of togetherness and harmony.
It really brought in a wave of nostalgic emotions to me. I loved these kind of stuff and still do. The animation may be simplistic and drab but the emotion adds a lot of colour to it. I really feel that NFDC should dig up these forgotten treasures and put it up for download. At least they could put it as torrent download and there may be a lot of willing seeders if I am not mistaken. Embrace the medium of torrents and use it for some good purpose rather than simply downloading movies, songs, games, porn etc.
The university exams start tomorrow and I have to get some studies going. All the best for everyone writing the exams.
Signing off with the words from the documentary:
“Sooraj Ek, Chanda Ek
Thaare Anek.
Ek Dilhari,
Anek Dilhariyan
Ek Thithali
Anek Thithaliyan
Ek Chidiya
Anek Chidiya”

P.S:For those who don’t know Hindi (or forgotten it):
Sooraj-Sun, Chanda- Moon, Thaare- Stars, Dilhari- Squirrel, Thithali- Butterfly, Chidiya- Bird, Ek- One, Anek- Many
P.P.S: My next download is Nat Geo documentary on Kalari Payattu

Sigh!

Why is the beer bottle so slender? I think its a deconstruction of the fact that you get a pot belly after a few beers over a period of time. Ah well, I should be taking a few sit ups! Ciao. P.S: I should be remembering the following cartoon before I start a fight with someone. Ciao again. (toon courtesy: xkcd )

Get ready for Shyamaprasad's Rithu

His new film, Rithu (Seasons), is a buddy tale that blooms in the changing social and emotional landscape of a small south Indian town. Three childhood friends, who grew up in the same neighborhood and went to same school and college, weave up their dreams about life together. Sarat, Varsha, and Sunny were inseparable in their love, bonding, and innocence. Sarat and Varsha grew fond of each other, in a more internal and less physical manner. Sunny is more like a brother to Sarat. To raise money to achieve their dreams, Sarat leaves for California to live and work. The other two take up jobs in Bangalore. Three years later, they return to the throes of their changing hometown. After an emotional reunion and a sweet build-up of hopes, each finds that beneath their camaraderie, they had actually outgrown their old selves.  via movies.rediff.com My cousin is working on the post production of this movie and he is raving about it. His ravings and my tastes sometimes co...

Amused

Just went through the movie Shatranj Ke Khiladi ( Satyajit Ray ) came upon the following dialogue. Very Amusing and Educational to say the least! :-P Some British Officer: Also dresses up like a Hindu God, I'm told. His Junior: Yes, sir. He also composes his own operas. SBO: Doesn't leave him much time for his concubines......not to speak of the affairs of state. Does he really have 400 concubines? HJ: I believe that's the count, sir. SBO: And 29 muta wives. What the hell are muta wives? HJ: Muta wives, sir. SBO: That's temporary wives. HJ: Temporary wives. - Yes, sir. A muta marriage can last for 3 days, 3 months or 3 years. Muta is an Arabic word. SBO: -And it means temporary. HJ: No, sir. SBO: - No? HJ: It means, enjoyment, sir. SBO: Oh! Oh, yes. I see. Most instructive. Powered by ScribeFire .
