Ridiculous Movie Rocks, Sensible movie flops , has the audience lost its taste or is it burdened with enough responsiblity.
Bollywood is now producing Blockbuster after Blockbuster like "Dabbang" "Bodyguard" "Singham" "Mausam"
"Murder 2". These are all very original movies and have been produced and directed on the social issues in India. Our film-makers are always looking for original scripts and seriousness in the story and acting.
We have also seen a very remarkable movie "Aarakshan" on the issue of caste based reservation in India, this Film has done great justice to the issue by discussing about Private Coaching classes where students are fooled into believing that by hard work they crack prestigious entrance exams.
Okay, enough with this mockery., you all know what I am pointing at. I am talking about the absence of serious cinema in our Hindi Film Industry. The scripts are either copied from the South Indian cinema or from a Hollywood movie. The action scenes are copied, dialogues have lost depth. Serious issues are not even touched. They tried Aarakshan but didn't dig deep enough on the issue. Over the past few years, especially the last couple of years- Movies with sophisticated acting, depth in script and dialogues and a good social message have flopped and ridiculous non-sense movies have broken Box office records. This is a clear indication that something is wrong. Either the audience has lost its taste or they are already burdened with enough responsibility and don't really care about the script, story etc but just on the entertainment.
What is your take on this?
Come to RAY's 12th group discussion on this issue.

GD-10
Another day, another blast but we have learned to move on.
A few weeks ago, there was a Bomb blast in the heart of Delhi right in front of the Delhi High Court. A few weeks earlier than that, there were 3 serial blasts in Mumbai and most of us don't even remember that. Its a shame on us but hey we are Indians, we move on with our daily routine and shrug of such events as if they don't matter anymore.
Ever since I had access to electronic or print media, not a week has passed without me hearing or reading about such incidents.
"Serial blasts rocked the financial capital but the people have shown the spirit of life", such lines have become the frontrunner in all English dailies. I don't think we people have a choice here. Our security forces are ill-equipped, our leaders have Z, Z+ security but the common man has none. If he doesn't come out of hiding to earn bread he will perish. He may survive a serial blast but not this inflation. That is why despite having fears people keep on with their routine. Its like we have grown another face that is resilient to such news.
This is my opinion on this issue, I want to know yours.
So, this Thursday all LPU students who follow this blog are requested to attend the GD at room 109, block 26.
Timings: 4pm-5pm.
Host- Navi Singh (09779066334)

Blood cannot sleep, it remains awake as a nightmare.
"Why is Kasab not hanged yet?
Crores of rupees have been wasted on keeping him alive in custody, in trials, on his security and so on, why hasn't he been hanged to death?"- asked a friend of mine.
"I am not a congress government spokesperson."- I told him. We had a really long debate on this one after that. After the recent serial blasts in Mumbai, everyone is angry. But, I can't help but wonder how hanging Kasab or any other puppet will provide insurance against further attacks. Some people are putting up even more wild ideas like taking away polling rights from non-hindus. I wonder how religious fanaticism will cure the cancer of naxalite violence.
Political parties know this sentiment, this weakness of the common man and exploit it to their advantage.
Something is seriously wrong with the security agencies and the way government handles them.
Now with Anna fever sweeping the nation people have stopped talking about it. But this issue is not over. We have a judicial system which people believe in. I wonder what will happen to it if Kasab and other terrorists are not hanged. mercy petitions reach the president's office every other day. But, terrorists and anti-nationalists don't deserve mercy. This is my take on the matter. What is yours?

TOPIC -
INERTIA OF MORAL DEGRADATION:
reasons and consequences
Continuing our mission to bring rationality, reasoning and logic in youth, we thought to discuss on morality and the rate of its degradation. Some people argue that westernization has brought along with it some serious negative and self centric way of life. Me, my family, my home is what we all think about. Gone are the days when keeping one’s word was considered the highest values of a man. Now, we lie, cheat, backstab and don’t even flinch when confronted by our peers. What have we become? Is this really evolution or is our civilization on a spiral path to destruction?

...Preferences or Prejudices...
India, where we call it a country full of so many cultures and traditions, has always experienced a taste of disunity upon the fact that we are not at all equal and united. No offense but I seriously agree that we are way far being united and equal, comparatively others around us. There has always been a feeling of making the other one inferior so far as personal benefits are concerned. I feel a bit bad about the thing that even in this age we support castism by giving encouragement to policies related to reservations which is totally based upon your caste, community or religion.
Today, providing reservations, to a community or a particular caste, in India has become just a package full of vote bank and political profits. Political parties looks forward to capture as many votes are possible by just giving an assurance of providing reservation to them. And which in turn, ends up finally with corruption, riots, poverty, worst conditions and disappointments. Whether they are Gujjars fighting back for reservations or people from general categories taking reservations by just acquiring fake caste certificates..... The issue may be North-East Indians thrown out of Maharashtra by Political Parties such as Shiv Sena (Balasaheb Thackeray) or Kashmiri Pandits getting Migration quotas(Reservation)... RESERVATION has always been an issue of serious discussion.
Even before Independence social status of so called lower caste communities might have never bothered the country's development, being a colony no one cared about these things. In spite of the fact that few policies were made at that time as well which were against castism existing at that time in India.
But after a 65 year span, we still fight on issues of our caste and religion. And govt. giving it encouragement by giving reservations to them instead of a proper system in which such communities can really flourish them. Scholarships, economic aids, health aid, proper food, awareness and so much other things. By which they can actually witness the real growing India... The Transforming India, The Incredible India!!
On that note I would be finishing it from my side... though it needs a long time to discuss!!
Looking forward to a Reservation free India soon with healthy competition all around!!
Thank you!!

When things become obsolete they need to be removed.
What is your caste?- a 10th grader asked me. I answered politely but, that question still haunts me. What made that kid ask me that sort of question? Was it some school incident or was it something his parents taught about? Whatever it was, I now sincerely believe that his outlook has now become biased. Ours is a nation of great divides. We have linguistic differences, religious differences, caste-based inequalities and gender-based inequalities. Our society and culture as I decipher from historical texts was open and flexible. But it has morphed into something very rigid. That has worsened the scenario. I believe that the caste system has become obsolete. There is no more need to distinguish people based on caste. This caste based approach of distinguishing and differentiating is deep rooted in our social structure. On many spheres of life India as a culture and society is stagnant. We all know if water stagnates at some place it becomes a host of diseases. same is happening with us. We are plagued at various levels. what is worse, that we know we are plagued and won't or can't do anything about it. Imagine a society free of caste based and gender-based disparities. Imagine the India that shines in all its glory. Now, look for your role to play in Indian's future. get up and start moving.
