Review: Fanaa

Watched Kunal Kohli's Fanna this week. Here is a summary of this film:
a) The story line has some punch but the direction could have been better.
b) Potboiling and regular bollywood drama at regular intervals (Presence of Aamir and Kajol cannot erase this stupidity).

Liked the song - "Mere Haath mein tera haath ho...." (must be the title song).

Paparazzi and Celebrities

Everyone wishes to be a celebrity of some sort. If you do not, then you are not normal. Many of the celebrities are tormented by paparazzi. Remember Princess Diana?

Here is Britney Spears reaction to paparazzi:

Shashi Taroor for UN Secretary General

After Dr.APJ Abdul Kalam became India's President, there is a rare opportunity for another elite Indian to claim the reigns of the democratic world.

Shashi Taroor is India's candidate for UN Secy General.

I like Shashi for his great novel : "The Great Indian Novel". If you have not read it, borrow it from your local library and read it. It is a great satirical marvel. Work of a genius.
