Disappointed & Wondering??

Sometimes you wonder are people really that busy in life that they cant have a few drinks or are they plain lazy or is it something much beyond that??

I wish I knew the answers....

Mumbai Aamchich - Wonder if it will be released ?

I wonder if this Anti- North Indian marathi movie will be relaeased after the BMC elections.

“They have ruined the quality of life in Mumbai. They are dominating us Marathi people, who are the original inhabitants of this city, and are taking away our opportunities. I couldn’t remain a mute spectator, which is why I decided to produce this movie,” says Bansode, who wrote, produced, directed and acted in the movie.

What Bansode is doing is wrong, but at times I wonder what would be the reaction of locals in Kerala, TN, Karnataka or West Bengal when they lose out to people from other states of India in jobs and other opportunity.

Will we have local version of this movie in every state of India by every angry local??

India needs to create to alteast 5-10 more Bombay's to solve this mega migration from UP, Bihar and other poorer parts of our country,

India's Gold Hunt.

Paes-Sania beat Satoshi Iwabuchi and Akiko Morigami of Japan 7-5, 5-7, 6-2 to win the Mixed doubles GOLD!!
Also Leander & Bhupathi survived 7 match points in the Doubles against Thailand to win 5–7, 7–6, 6–3
But apna Sania lost her final against China's Zheng 4-6, 6-1, 1-6.

To watch a match in the stadium in an electifying atmosphere in itself but to hear the National Anthem and the Bhangra music in a foreign country gives you the goose bumps and bloats oneself with pride.

Some pics of the games.. Click to enlarge it.
