comes naturally

somethings that come naturally to most people (not all) of the indian sub-continent ...

cinema ... cricket ... cricket ... cinema ... cinema ... cricket ... cricket ... cinema ...

indian cinema was born to entertain ... got nurtured to contemplate everyday and contemporary issues of the society ... matured to develop larger than life emotions ... picked up n well portrayed humor along the way ... got side-tracked to earn money for less ...

to me watchin indian cinema falls into several major brackets ...


easy watch films ... like munnabhai's ... golmaal (simply awesome) ... dil chahta hai ... et al

thinking films ... like hazaron khwasihen aisi ... sadgati (one of satyajit ray's only hindi films) ... n the likes in many other languages ...

classics ... like parineeta (the meena kumari one) ... mughal-e-azam ... yada yada

regional films ... like charulata (bengali) ... dhola-maru (rajasthani) ... etc. etc.

bakwaas films ... the mithunda films where the mom is blind n the sis is always raped ...


humming aloud

dil toh hain bejubaan .. dil ki sunao na
baatein jo dil mein hain .. hothon pe lao na
shaam ho ya sehar ho ..
dil main tum har pehar ho
palkein jhukao na ..
nazrein churao na
baatein jo dil mein hain .. hothon pe lao na
khamoshi keh rahi hain .. baat hadh se badh rahi hain
saathiya..
