Body Guard

Ok, So one of the channels decided to show BodyGuard at 9 pm. yesterday. Had heard the movie wasn't that great. Had found Wanted crazily hilarious, so switched to the movie sharp at 9 pm. 


The movie started with a scene localized for consumption from Rajneeti (Sorry, Rajneeti localized GodFather, and now Rajneeti gets a mention.)


Why on earth would they start a movie like this ?
Well that was it. The movie lost 80% of my interest then. Still hung around even though most of the going ons were nonsense. Finally switched channels when Salman Khan did a SpiderMan (no it was Robot) to jump out of the local train onto an express going in the opposite direction.


Good thing the jump was before 13 Nov 2011, else, post the switchover happening today from DC to AC, a man standing on the train is likely to be pulled into the overhead wires.


Last thing, please change the name of the movie to Body-Spider-Father-Man !!
Sounds dumb ? That's how the start looked to me.




Disclaimer: I am in no position to tell you what happened in the movie beyond this point. 
Naming of the new movie starring someone with Iron Man's borrowed steel plate and Dark Knight's pose is yet to be done.
Btw, it would be interesting to know which advertisers actually paid money to sponsor this movie.. ha ha ha ha !!

Equity / Share Markets - India, Globally

For quite some time have been trying to understand and figure out whether the retail investor can ever make money from the market. There are some queries which if unanswered, clearly imply the retail investor being disadvantaged in the share market, clearly indicating lack of market efficiency...   1. Insider information. This can never be done away with. The top level executives of businesses 'know the score' and will make some market moves in advance based on this information. This 'score' can be the organisation's results or regulatory changes of the government. Not in the USA, Not in India. And contrary to what many believe, post the Rajat Gupta episode, this problem exists at the same scale in all places where a share market functions. The fundamental human is the same everywhere with the same shortcomings. 2. Skill lacunae - executives generally have some management education, and brokers have 'connections', which may not be the case for t...

Reservation Quota's and India 2016

Written around April 2006... just posting it here from another of my pages... The year is now 2016. India of the future. It was exactly 10 years ago that the sensex broke the 12.5 k barrier, Gold hit a 23 year high, job offers were hitting the 1 cr (lovingly called ’khokha’) mark, jobs and economy were going up in the IT / ITES sector, Dharavi was all set to dissapper in a cloud of growth, India was all set to become the next automobile design and manufacturing hub and economy and people generally had a sense of growth, not to forget, Ralph Lauren recruitingall Indians for the next generation of clothes, just to compete with the hottest global fashion design firms ’’Lallu Dudhwala’’ and ’’Rasik Jalebiwala’’. All were set to become the citizens of the new SUPER-POWER India. As of today, the sensex still hovers around 1k, gold for those people who have it, is of collection value, since none can afford to pay more than Rs. 100 per 10 gms, most people cannot afford the public travel (...

Why Mumbai will never be free from traffic

2004 : Regular commute on the western express highway (which was barely a total of 3-4 lanes) all the way to Seepz, sometimes via Aarey Colony/JVLR. Chai pe discussions (borrowed phrase) over why are they bothering to build a highway in the middle of the city..why we just cant have a metro from  Ghodbundar / Kashimira  to atleast Bandra , since we were anyways building the commercial district of Bandra Kurla Complex  and the  Bandra  Terminus. Anyways Delhi had a metro since the 1990's, and we being the hip and happening Mumbai deserved our own. That, we all know did not happen. And, in the meanwhile, atleast I now have good understanding of why something like that or similar will have opposing forces : Lost Fare - Such a move would render thousands of auto fares/taxi fares needless. Think about Rs. 1 to 2 crore lost on a daily basis. In this context, think of the cycle of increasing taxi-auto fares -> increasing taxi/auto permits -> increasing fa...
