1. Andaz Apna Apna- Rajkumar Santoshi’s slapstick humor that will make people fall off from their chairs laughing. The movie includes Aamir and Salman Khan trying to outwit each other and includes some of the most adorable dialogues such as “….aap to purush hi nahi, mahapurush hai, mahapurush hai” ; “kaheka yaar, bhaad mein jai tera pyar” and “crime master gogo- aankhen nikaal kar gotiya khelta hun”. Moreover, Paresh Rawal in a double role is simply great. Love the movie.

2. Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke- An amazingly beautiful movie starring the famous pair Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla, and three kids (Kunal Khemu being the show stealer). How a helpless uncle is facing problems to deal with his nephews and niece is so nicely depicted that once cannot help laughing at the silly pranks and expressions of the kids. I really love the scene when the kids throw rotten eggs and tomatoes on Dilip Tahil, the villian.

3. Jaane Bhi Do Yaaron- Two friends, attempting to start-up their own photo studio, come across shady dealings, corruption and murder, and must fight to bring the guilty to light. What follows thus is a laugh riot. See it to believe what comedy is.

4. Katha- I have seen this movie a number of times and never seem to get bored of it. Revolving around an honest and simple man Naseeruddin Shah, his lady love Deepti Naval and his cunning friend, Farooq Sheikh, this movie will actually make you laugh a lot.

5. Bheja Fry- This is the new genre comedy. With an irritating man albeit Vinay Pathak and a sophisticated entrepreneur Rajat Kapur, this movie will actually make you glued on to your T.V. sets.

6. Mixed Doubles- Featuring the enigmatic Konkona Sen Sharma and the talented Ranvir Shourey, this movie is quite modern in its appeal. A couple going for swapping ends up in quite an ironic situation. Watch it for sure. It is truly interesting.

7. Chupke Chupke- Ripped off from a bengali film, this is a treat to every movie lover. A man trying to outwit his wife’s “jee-ja-jji” ends up taking a driver’s profession and what follows is a laugh riot. Truly great.

8. Hera Pheri- Being a mallu rip off, it doesn’t lose its essence of providing complete comic relief to minds satiated with serious movies. A gripping plot, funny characters and amazing performances is what does the trick for this movie.

9. Bawarchi- Again, a bengali rip off, this movie showcases a magical performance from the ace actor Rajesh Khanna. I can actually see this movie n number of times.

10. Padosan- This movie accompanied with great songs and beautiful Saira Banu, is actually a laugh riot. Being one of Sunil Dutt’s good performances, it always makes me laugh a lot.

So, these are my favorites. Do tell me about yours. :)

Caste is the predominant factor used for reservation in India, though reservation is also offered based on other parameters like religion, state of domicile, etc. The central government of India reserves 27% of government jobs and proposes to do similarly in higher education, but certain Indian states like Tamil Nadu, which currently reserves 69% seats, have followed caste-based reservations since 1921.

My question to all is that is it really necessary? I mean how do we define the caste system in India? Aren’t we more so economically segregated citizens? Mr. B.R. Ambedkar had introduced this system for a period of 10 years and not 60 years. Aren’t our leaders at fault and isn’t this system a way of covering up their failure? The fact of the matter is, as long as there are caste-based reservations, the caste system is bound to exist! How can it be otherwise? Today, the caste consciousness and animosity is more acute than everbefore! Needless to say, this is a direct fallout of the caste-based reservation system. In fact, the reserved categories themselves have a great deal of vested interest in keeping the caste system vibrant and alive, because reservations are only given on the basis of caste and NOT on economic factors.

When someone with less percentage, less marks gets the seat, or the job, how can anyone say it is due to the merit of the individual? These two simply do not co-exist. No one ever says that there are no talented people among the reserved categories! Far from it.The talented people, no matter what caste they belong to, will certainly reap a rich harvest which they fully deserve.They never need reservation at all!

More so, why isn’t there a quota for medical, transport and other facilities. The government can’t benefit from these restrictions and hence education seems to be the easiest way out. Ever thought, why brain drain is on a high rise? Think about this- will a student from SC/ST/OBC background ever mention that once he gets a MBBS degree? I doubt it. Of course, it is going to tarnish his image(as in showing that he wasn’t meritorious enough). There are various petitions against caste based reservations like this one here, but who is listening? What do u think? Is caste based reservation the need of this country in this era-Yes or No?

P.S: This is what Mr. Azim Premji had to say about reservations:

I think we should have job reservations in all the fields. I completely support the PM and all the politicians for promoting this. Let’s start the reservation with our cricket team. We should have 10 percent reservation for Muslims. 30 percent for OBC, SC/ST like that.

Cricket rules should be modified accordingly.

The boundary circle should be reduced for an SC/ST player. The four hit by an OBC player should be considered as a six and a six hit by an OBC player should be counted as 8 runs. An OBC player scoring 60 runs should be declared as a century.

We should influence ICC and make rules so that the pace bowlers like Shoaib Akhtar should not bowl fast balls to our OBC player.

Bowlers should bowl maximum speed of 80 kilometer per hour to an OBC player.

Any delivery above this speed should be made illegal.

Also we should have reservation in Olympics. In the 100 meters race, an OBC player should be given a gold medal if he runs 80 meters.

There can be reservation in Government jobs also. Let’s recruit SC/ST and OBC pilots for aircrafts which are carrying the ministers and politicians (that can really help the country...)

Ensure that only SC/ST and OBC doctors do the operations for the ministers and other politicians. (Another way of saving the country...)

Let’s be creative and think of ways and means to guide INDIA forward...
Lets show the world that INDIA is a GREAT country.
Let’s be proud of being an INDIAN...

May the good breed of politicians like ARJUN SINGH long live...

Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all over the world, I can’t help but cry. I mean I’d love to be skinny like that but not with all those flies and death and stuff.

I think gay marriage is something that should be between a man and a woman.
