Mumbai: we will not be divided

2008-11-30T13:16:00.001+05:30

Dear Friend,

I just signed an urgent message calling for unity following the attacks in Mumbai. Read the email below - Thanks, Satish

--------------------------

Dear friends across India and the world,

We're all feeling the shock of the awful attacks in Mumbai. All our hearts go out to the victims and their families.

The attacks were aimed at our people, our prosperity and our peace. But their top target was something else: our unity. If these attacks cause us to turn on each other in hatred and conflict, the terrorists will have won. They know that hatred and chaos feed on division. As radical extremists, their only hope of winning is by turning the rest of us against each other.

Let's deny them that victory. We're launching a message to extremists on all sides and all our political leaders, one that will soon be published in newspapers across India and Pakistan. The message is that these tactics have failed, that we're more united than ever, united in our love and support to each other, determined to work together against terror and call on our leaders to do the same. If millions of people sign it, our message will be unmistakable, click below to sign it and please forward this email widely:

It's time to speak out, let's do it together.

Thanks,

Satish

Dasavathaaram - 3.5/5

2008-06-16T13:45:00.004+05:30

Nice movie, Kamal Haasan rocks!!

I think its one of the first Indian Movies to have a subject around the chaos theory and the butterfly effect

Also the first movie to have George Bush, Manmohan Singh, Jayalalitha, Karunanidhi.

Kamal's efforts are definitely laudable and deserves a salute

and yes at 140 crore its India's most expensive movie

**3.5 - 5 points

Crazy Govt taxes on Housing

2008-06-13T13:09:00.001+05:30

After the 5 per cent Value Added Tax (VAT) the state government is levying a 4.5 per cent service tax on all new flats.

The whole logic is funny coz already VAT is being paid on the entire component that goes into constructing a building.

The new taxes so that makes it Rs 4.5 lakh for a flat worth Rs 50 lakh, plus another 2-3 lakhs for registrations & brokerages.

Surprisingly this news has come only in Mumbai Mirror; no other publication or TV channel has picked it up.

I don’t know if this is true or not, if it’s true then am surprised that no one has come out and opposed it.

Does anyone have any answers or leads?

The story in Mumbai Mirror

http://www.mumbaimirror.com/net/mmpaper.aspx?page=article&sectid=15&contentid=200806112008061102124783531770627&pageno=1

Reminds me of stuff being done in Gulf to drive out immigrants by raising the cost of living, but then they guys who come to Bombay anyways will continue to live in Slums & Zhoppadpattis while the Middle Class will be automatically bhagaoed.

"Wall Street Meets 70mm"

2008-05-28T14:32:00.001+05:30

CNBC-TV18 & Enlighten Film Society is showcasing four movies on the Stock Markets on 5th and 6^th June 2008.

5th June

7 pm - Wallstreet.

9.30 pm - Barbarians at the gate.

6th June

7 pm - Boiler Room.

9.20 pm - Rogue Trader.

The fuckall part is they are only being shown in Metro Adlabs, I’d suggest call up Seventymm or Clickflix or your local DVD wala and watch it at home in case you can’t make it to town.

Nevertheless it’s a nice attempt by these guys.

Vijay Tendulkar - R.I.P

2008-05-19T23:34:00.001+05:30

Vijay Tendulkar one of India's best writer, playwright & overall very brave social activist died today.

I would say more than his writing it was his courage to stand up for justice without fear whether supporting people against Bhai Thakur in Virar or standing in support of Mahanagar when attacked by Shiv Sena or Standing with the displaced people of Narmada and many more such things... Something that his daughter Priya Tendulkar did in Rajni.

After PuLa Deshpande, this is one of greatest loss to Maharashtra.
