This time it should be about THINGS not PEOPLE!

I am trying my best to think about something that would be about something, not someone.
But its kinda difficult for me. I don't know why. But whenever that I start writing (even if its after a long gap like today) I can only think about people, not things to write about.

Well this is my effort to try to stick randomly to things than to random people.

I saw Rock On.
I dint like it much though. Maybe I went with elevated expectations. Maybe I pictured something else in my mind before I entered the theater. Whatever. It wasn't as good as i expected.
In the glorified reviews I read before going to the movie, I read that Rock On is about "Aspirations". I was excited!
Post movie I realized that it was about aspirations; but aspirations of the filmmakers than the characters of the story.
Farhan Akhtar aspired to act & SING
Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy aspired to compose Rock (Like) Music
Mr. Kapoor aspired to direct the movie
Luke/Purab aspired to be featured in mainstream cinema
that's it...
It was about their aspirations.
Dint help. I dint get what I had paid for. Most of the characters are big time losers & don't have too many great things to do at the time when they plan to come together. Its done up shamelessly like any other Hindi flick with senseless tragedies & overflowing emotions. The story doesn't excite you to wait n watch whats gonna unravel in the next scene. The direction isn't crisp enough to make you feel a part of the plot of the story. It stays discreet & brainless. Not my idea of RockOn & not expected out of Farhan Akhtar atleast.
Well anyways, hopefully that the filmmakers have fulfilled their aspirations, they will now make something nice. Something worth the multiplex ticket rate!

Talking of things I learnt an interesting yet shocking fact today.
Don't know the authenticity to it but I heard in the last downfall of the market early this year shareholders lost over 65,000 CRORES in three consecutive days. Wow. A huge amount that is. The worst part that the beneficiaries were not Indian business houses but Foreign investors, who too out the huge profits & don't come back to invest it in the crashed market.
Now that's sad. We were robbed off 65,000 crores in just three days.
It was like some Mughal Emperor invading India & robbing off a certain well fed section of the country. They say history repeats itself, I now partially believe it. Like in the olden days, some foreign ruler with his army used to invade our country & loot the king & his kingdom of all its wealth. hard earned money. Savings. Investments. This is the exact same thing. Only in a slightly different format. The king & kingdom are geographically diversely located but belong to the same kingdom of STOCK Market. The foreign invaders don't send their army on horses & camels anymore, they just log on on the Internet in their own country & do a silent HallaBol on us. We poor sleepy, careless, happy go lucky country men don't prepare ourselves for such a war & wooooooooooooof we are looted!
Is this what they call modern war techniques.
Is the stock market the latest weapon?
If it is I think we shall get prepared & build a wall (Firewall) like the ' Great wall of china' "the great Firewall of India'
(Please note: the above thoughts are based on the fact that we lost so much of money to the hands of FII's in the stock market. If it is wrong or incorrect or not true sorry for the trouble. Atleast praise my patriotism, someone hit us or not I am out fighting already!) ;-)
