I once saw a movie called 'MADAM'. Its an really good comedy. The movie had my favorite actor in it. 'Nagesh'. One of the greatest actors in the history of Indian Film Industry. The film's protagonist is a man who poses as a woman and eventually(mostly because of circumstances) starts fighting for women's rights. Although the situations he gets into are comical, he brings up a few (usually ignored) issues that women face everyday. The film also has a song dedicated to women, which is absolutely true in every sense.
Thinking about the topic, will make you realize how we have been oppressing women. Women have been told for ages that their place is in the kitchen and they are no good if they don't look good. Everyone praises the beauty of a woman and they have no idea whatsoever what kind of a person she actually is. Women have been chosen as Miss India and Miss Universe based on their beauty (according to a few people's definition of beauty) and not based on the work they do. How about proclaiming Ms. Indira Nooyi as Miss Universe for being the most successful woman in her field. Observe how incredibly well the system has been developed. Women have been told that beauty is the only valuable thing they possess and character means protecting their virginity from everyone else other than her husband. Men who are promiscuous are called Krishnas and women are called 'SLUTS'. Why aren't they called Radha? "Oh! I know. Because Radha was a good girl and she does not even think about the paraya mard ". Can you count the number of movies in which the hero lost his virginity to many woman and the heroine is a virgin? You bet your ass you can't. The word is INNUMERABLE.
Ask yourself the question "Why isn't it molesting when a man gets molested by women?", "Why do only women posses the divine 'sheelam'?". Apparently when a woman gets molested she is said to have lost her character (character is the English translation of sheelam). She is also said to have lost her dignity. How in god's name do you lose your character when you get molested. Hasn't the bastard who did it lost his dignity and character. Oh Crap!Look at the sentence I just wrote. 'BASTARD', the worst possible word I could think of is again targeted at a woman. We built our system based on the concept of discriminating and oppressing women. You might be laughing at one of the above questions right now. But take moment and think. What if your whole dynasty has been told for ages that you are no good if another person touches you or if someone forces themselves on you or if fight for your basic human rights? How would you be now? If you tell someone lies like that for ages they eventually become great truths. That process is called 'brain washing'.
In every movie the heroine or the hero's sister is threatened by the villain's evil eye. The only reason why heads of families object to their girl's freedom is because they don't want them getting molested by other MEN. IF THERE ARE NO MEN TO MOLEST A WOMAN, THEN WOULDN'T WOMEN BE FREE? Let's think beyond our naturally gifted and inherited insecurities and actually think of a girl/woman as a human being.
The best thing that we as fellow human beings can do is treat women as our equals. Lets not be assholes of Patna who molested a woman in broad daylight. Its our belief that woman only have beauty and our obsession with their bodies that have to be removed and destroyed. Lets be HUMANS.

Dance
There are a few things that I love. One of the key members of the list is dance. Although I'm moderately good at dancing, I can tell a good dance when I see one. The following are the people who I consider great and really good at dancing:
1. Chiranjeevi
2. Kamal Hassan
3. Prabhu deva
4. Rishi Kapoor
5. Shammi Kapoor
The following are the people who I consider bad at dancing:
1. Lawrence
2. All the new telugu heroes (because of Lawrence)
3. Venu
4. Jagapati Babu
5. Krishna
and the list goes on.
Many might wanna fight for the people in points 1 and 2 in the I hate category, but let me first give you my side of the argument.
Dancing according to me means letting your body move as per the underlying meaning or beat of a song. If you express the words of the song with your movements then its called classical dance. If you move based on the beat, then its modern. And then there is the Bad dancing which may have some awesome steps but have no corelation with either the song or its meaning. The bad dancers just move. Dance in its purest form is liberating and an absolute bliss. But these guys just do it the wrong way. They don't know how to immerse themselves into the song or how to interpret it, so they just do a few steps and make their 'bhajantris' to call it awesome dance. These bhajantris also don't know the difference between good and bad dance so they fake their likings and say that their hero's dance is the greatest.
I hate this Lawrence guy. He ruined Chiranjeevi dance for me. When Chiranjeevi danced to his steps (no matter complicated they were or how incredibly he could do that at age 50) he wasn't Chiranjeevi. There was no energy in the dance. When Chiranjeevi danced for Ilayaraja songs they were greatest moments of Telugu film history. The energy that was in those songs was incredible. Everytime I hear the song 'Eureka......... ' I wanna jump and land on my knees.That energy has left since the arrival of Lawrence. The dance for the title song of Shankardada MBBS was heavily disappointing. It was a great song with a lot of energy and scope for some heavy duty theen-mar type dancing and the greatest dancer of the industry was in it, but it still failed.
Everyone and anyone can dance. And they can dance really good if they feel the music. Let the music move you and not the materialistic stuff that you set out for (materialistic stuff like money or the attention of someone). Its an art, so feel it. The simplest of steps done with absolute heart can always defeat any Lawrence or Fako.
P.S: If you want to watch a good dance movie then watch the following:
1. Sagara Sangamam
2. Billy Elliot
3. Shankara Bharanam (watch the part when the heroine dances shes incredible).
4. Indrudu Chandrudu, Michael Madan Kamaraju... lets just say Singeetham Srinivas movie with Kamal Hassan as hero.
5. All 1980s and 90s movies with chiranjeevi dancing to the tunes of Ilayaraja.
'Style' is not a dance movie, just as 'Amma Naanna O Tamil Ammaayi' is not a kick boxing movie. These are the worst dance and sports movies respectively.

Hitch
There are a few things that make me feel genuinely happy. The list comprises of my family, friends, movies, TV shows and the hope of driving my car (not any car, the Shelby Cobra) someday. I'm here to write the first optimistic, positive post of this blog. Atleast I'm hoping it to be. Things that make me cheer up:
1. A good Jandhyala movie: For people who think ballayya can't act or entertain in a proper way, watch the movie 'Baabai Abbai' *ing Sutthi Veera Bhadra Rao and Bala Krishna. You will realise that Balakrishna used to be a good and normal actor. This film is just what one needs when they are down.
2. Movies like Hitch: Will Smith starts of the movie saying 'Any man can sweep any woman off her feet. He just needs the right broom'. Statements like that fill the hearts of ugly-ducklings like me with hope. But this feeling fades with a look at a mirror. One look at the image and the thought comes-'Oh Crap! this is reality'.
3. TV-Shows: TV shows about cars make me feel great and fill my heart with hope. Everytime one speaks of the Shelby Cobra, I feel as if they're talking about the car I already own. There is one show that is beyond all car-oriented shows, that is 'Top Gear'. The episodes of top gear makes you feel that you must get yourself a car as soon as possible. But when you see programs like 'The Car and Bike Show' or 'Overdrive' you feel like driving a car is one of the modes of suicide. Shows other than Top Gear give you a stupid looking anchor who blabbers about the car's technical details rather than driving it skillfully. They can't do a wheelly or a do-nut. They can't talk about the performance of the car or who is it good for. They just talk details. They are just too stupid and boring. People who are exceptionally bad at it are the people from local news channels. They somehow get hold of foreign cars and try to use as much oddly pronounced 'American English' as possible. They use the words 'awesome' and 'beautiful' as frequently as they can. It reminds you that these guys are not at all good at driving the firangi cars 'coz they refrain from doing so. I wanna tell them "If you are a local news then talk about the local made cars and bikes and give a proper review rather than standing with a car and getting your picture taken". Make at least one good show you dumbasses.
4. TV-Shows (part-2): Sitcoms are my obsession. I love almost all of them. I particularly like the series 'Frasier'. The titular character is a normal guy. He's bald. The charecters in the series are actually normal and not like the other series where everyone seems to be out of a fashion magazine. This series makes me feel that people know that people like me exist.
