PRIYANKA'S MEOW
ARVIND K.PANDEY

ACT FOR REAL ?

Here is an actor who is undoubtedly the biggest star of his generation, but still extremely frustrated. Frustrated that people are making better movies than him, frustrated that people are no longer praising his every move, and worse, that they have started questioning the silly stuff he does on screen these days. The current six-pack obsession is probably an effort to show the world that he can be Shahrukh, John Abraham and Hrithik Roshan all in one. Talk of insecurities! Can we not see the Shahrukh of Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na, and Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman ever again? I was also disappointed that Outlook wasted some print space promoting what looks like another typical candyfloss Bollywood movie.

PRIYANKA :True, , SRK of yesteryear which left the viewers mesemerized with his performances has become victim of naricissism . He is now being ruled by monster called "ego" , which has blocked his ability to put the others' achievements in right perspective . MEOW..MEOW

NGO's AND CORPORATE WORLD JOIN HANDS

Today , many NGOs and corporate giants are working together to raise the standard of underprivilged . It's a good move on the part of corporate world as dream projects cannot take-off in absence of capital .However , NRI's who are investing money should not only get their priorities right but also ensure that there exists a mechanism to to execute their plans .Often , they are governed by sentiments than reason in sanctioning the projects . Let their Corporate Social Responsibilty be truly productive for poor people .

LOVE KILLED

The brutal murder of Rizwanur with the alleged assistence of West Bengal Police once again confirms the adage that the course of true love is frought with dangers of all sorts . The modern India might be jubilant over its economic growth but age-old prejudices are still dominating the minds of new entrants in millionaire group .They are no better than feudal lords of yesteryear ,who buthchered people daring to puncture their egos .

STUDENTS STRIPPING FOR CASH

Is it a courageous step or compulsions born out of necessity which force the girl students (even boys ) to indulge in wild sexual activities for money ? At least , that appears to be the case with the Cambridge Undergraduate students working as call girls to pay their fees .

TOMMY : Priyanka should know that we are living in times when " Paisa Phekoen Tamasha Dekho " is the order of the day .BOW ..BOW

WAITING FOR THE FURY OF LORD

An "Incredible India " poster issued by the Ministry of Tourism , Government Of India , to atract the tourists from various parts of the country shows Lord Krishna and Gopis in objectionable poses . The poster appears to be the brainchild of some pervert chap but how come other government officials found nothing objectionable in it ? More so , when the incident involving caricatured cartoons of Prophet Mohammed created mayhem across the globe .
