B2C - Back 2 Chennai

Back 2 Chennai(B2C). Sorry Aravind. Couldn't call you or meet you. Was engaged in the whole day with back-to-back meetings at Airport Road. Btw, there is a clean tongue-n-cheek, acronym which reflects the state. When i say Back 2 chennai it is B2C where as when you say Back 2 Bangalore, it is B2B, In a country like India, B2B provides more revenue than B2C, but eventually, everyone has to come in terms with B2C to survive. No pun intended.

I contradict the statement made by Aravind here. I accept, it is one of the best cities in terms of IT & and other new economy companies. But knowledge was imported inside the city. It can be called as the Knowledge Acquisition City than a mere Knowledge city. Still i believe, Chennai & rest of TN has more knowledge share when compared to other cities in this country. Btw, i dont know much about Karnataka here, so beyond Bang, my knowledge of the state is less.

The post is not about what i did in bangalore but what i observe in bangalore. My last visit to bangalore was 2 years before, if i guess it rite. There are drastic changes in the city. When i was there yesterday, there is new link connecting road to Indira Nagar from MG road was opened for public. The city grown like anything. Skycrapers, designer restaurents, and surprisinly, i have come across only 3 places where i see the Reliance Ad. B2C, our hoardings are full with Reliance. There the ads are more for shopping & retail, that clearly reflects the buying potential of the inmates of the city.

In a decade, the city is transformed into a global metropolis. On my car, i was just counting the no. of HQs in the city, Apple. Hughes Software, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, Intel, Infosys, Daimler Chrysler and what not. Every office is spanky, lavishly built with huge parking spaces. I have seen more 4 wheelers than 2 wheelers inside these parking lots. The commercial street is full of lifestyle items. Haven't seen a begger inside commercial street. Hats off to Mr. SM Krishna, the man truly revolutinised a city into a global metropolis. More foreign faces, Wi-Fi access and everyone on car, on restaurent, on bus works with their laptops. With a reliance connection (they buy specifically for this) they see mails, chat and upload & download stuff. Truly, if you are a technoprenuer Bangalore is the place to be.

But, still i can see Kannadas with the same old sober, lathargic, expression-less face and just time killing the process. Bangalore, somehow, in my viewpoint, has lost his traditional touch, and behaving more like mumbai, more patels, mehtas, chatterjees, singhs, mukerjees and so on....truly a city to watch for, if not to live on. Bangalore has changed ...is the bangalorians changed?

The Great Indian Oil Scam - Whr is 49,000 Crs, we paid to the govt

Truth Scars us always. How the Indian Govt (congress, NDA, UF, Janatha and all)is taking the common indian citizen for a heavy ride. What's amusing in this article is that, the Senior Executives of key departments, clearly knows about this fact, but giving us mouthshut.

"For two years, the state-owned oil refining and marketing companies have been ripping off buyers of petrol and diesel by charging them Rs 2 extra on every litre of petrol and diesel. In the process, the oil companies pocketed a cool Rs 9,866 crore (Rs 98.66 billion) in 2003-04 and a similar amount the year before.

But -- here is the catch -- they have neither passed the Customs duty on to the government nor actually imported much petrol and diesel. Almost the entire petrol and diesel consumed in the country is being produced domestically, thanks to excess refining capacity in India."

"Over 30 years the government has collected Rs 50,000 crore (Rs 500 billion) from the public as a cess for the development of the state-owned oil industry.

But only Rs 902 crore (Rs 9.02 billion) have been allocated to the Oil Industry Development Board that is supposed to disburse the money to the industry. In fact, the OIDB has not received any money from the government since 1990-91."

The companies have been able to rip off buyers of petrol and diesel because of the complex formula for arriving at the retail price of petrol and diesel, which came into effect after the government dismantled the administered pricing mechanism in the oil industry in April 2002.

How Rs 49,000 cr disappeared into govt coffers

Oil firms pocket Rs 2 on every litre of petrol, diesel

Fahrenheit 9/11

If i recorded in my blog about Day after Tomorrow & President Bush's useless policies, to kick off the debate, one more in on the cards. Fahrenheit 9/11. A documentary film, by Micheal Moore one of legendary documantery makeers, winner of several awards and won an OSCAR for his "bowling in columbine". This movie has done a sorta investigative journalism with the Congress members, and pulled down all the buried facts of the Whitehouse for 9/11 & the resultant Iraq War.

Worth watching the movie, if it is not banned in India. For now Watch the Trailer here Worth your time.

Shameless Self Promotion

This is a shameless self promotion of reading my personal blog not because i want more hits (15% objective)but some interesting blogger related experiments, i did with photos, email based posts etc...have a look, that wont cost your bandwidth more....:-)

Homosexuality & Changing Indian cinema

2 news recently read & seen actually is the prime point of this post. Days before, i was reading about a case filed in the Kerala court by 2 female, urging their rights to live together. They are presently living together for months.

Today's NDTV's Mumbai Live has given an interesting information about how bollywood is handling homosexuality. For the news, there are presently 3 movies on sets dealing with homosexuality, the top being a film named "GirlFriend" about a lesbian & a lover triangle. There is another movie similar to that is also under production. Apart from that, there is also hindi (or rather hinglish) movie called "Pigmy" which deals with the subjects of Male prostitutes in mumbai.

The only lesbian content movie (not exactly a lesbian movie) in recent times is the much controversial "Fire" by deepa mehta. I havent' come across movies dealing with these kinds of sensitive issues in south indian languages.

Thru my various friends' circles & hang outs, i have always heard of one guy picking up one aunty, another guy maintaining an office goer, internal office relationships and so on and so forth. Saras knows a few guys with like this additional skillset (even saras too....;-))But i havent' thought about making that into a movie form. Atleast, now the mainstream, common issues are coming into the highlight of the movie makers.

This now gives me the guts into working on many possibilities in terms of writing scripts on untouched issues like local politics, street fights, puppy loves, affairs etc. If not today, maybe one day with everything on digital, i can shoot a movie, as like writing this blog.

My question & reaction to all is, will the bollywood treat these movies with the seriousness involved with the issues ? or Are they just trying to sensationalise & tantalise an issue and trying to make a bug out of it ? Is bollywood or rather Indian cinema has come to some standards, where we are in a position to have a deeper understanding of the subjects & issues we deal with. These questions need to be answered with their 100% conviction, coz, you can always expect a huge crowd for any lesbian related movie, as there are two female stars involved, that adds more flesh to film reels, fills the box office.

This also raises the perspective of the way urban indian is being viewed today. We exchange Parattas for Piazzas, Coffee for Cappocino, stiched shirts for Van Heusen and now home made dramas for homosexuality. Atleast, you can always expect a few newer thinking of the way the screenplay & narration will move in these movies.

There was a romatic era in the early 90's followed by Mafia era in late 90's and early 2000 followed by Item No Songs ( just go back in time, the Helen's , Jayamalini's, Anuradhas', Silk smitha's, Disco Shanthi's) are back with a vengence, and now more deeper into subjects like Homosexuality. How will this trend be taken by the viewers. Wait & Watch.

Comments Added - Your Comments

Well, i have just added comments to each posts. that's the new feature of the reworked blogger. your comments please on adding comments.

Standard | Political | Dictator & now Rollback mode

well nothing of that sort of reducing the money for the quarter bottles. It's simply trying to prove that the govt. is a people friendly govt. or may be an evil idea of disposing all that she can give at the cost of govt. expenditure, so that the next govt, (certainly not AIADMK!!)will suffer for what she has done. She can think like that too...

Well Ayutha Ezhuthu is good but not have the Manirathnam's stamp. But movies like AE & Virumandi needs to be given consideration for their non-linear way of storytelling. AE has gone one step ahead than virumandi to give you a story which many wont aceept the climax. But if we can just go back in Indian history, the students entering into politics has happened with Assam. (Remember Prafala Kumar Maghantha!!!)

Why no emails. No IM. No info. Dell is making you silent ?;-)

Jaya and Tuglak

100 Farmers committed Suicide. What YSR of AP is going to do?

In less than 3 weeks of becoming the CM of AP, YSR is facing a serious problem. In last 2 weeks alone 100 farmers committed suicide in various parts of AP. YSR came to power, criticising, Naidu about indifference towards rural farmers. But Naidu, had put a system intact for these kind of issues. No, I am not saying, Naidu is a genius, but by going by the news reports, in Naidu's regime, all the village deaths are documented and sent it to the district & state capital.

The media says, the suicides happened, because, the rainy season is about to start another 2 months, and the farmers, who had enormous debt, needs to go thru one more debt cycle to fund their harvest, which many of them cannot so they committed suicide.

The critics argue from a different perspective. YSR's first few announcements are free electricity to farmers, and a huge fund is created for farmer deaths as compensation to their families. Forced by the lenders, local roudis, poor farmer has to commit suicide to get the compensation for the family, to came out of the debt trap. The critics argue, the sudden rise in the no. of suicidal toll is because of this.

On the contrary, there is another view, that since it is a harvesting season, Banks, who have lend money to all these farmers are pressurising for them to take care of their loans.

Severe drought, no water and lack of support forced the AP farmer to take these kind of measures. The problem is not solved by committing suicide, in fact it becomes more complicated. What will happen to their lands ? Who will take care of their family? What will be the social security for their familes ? What social respect do they gain ?

Whatever be the reason, we lost 100 lives. It's testing time for YSR to prove his statements.Hope Mr. YSR will not come out with a Reincarnation Fund for the farmers in a few months. With no cauvery in hindsight, will this repeat in TN too?
