If...

I’ve seen birds fly
I’ve chased them to the horizon
If I would have got wings
Life could have been different…

She could have said yes
She could have said no
If I would have asked her out
Life could have been different…

They wanted me to follow
They wanted me to chase
If I would have done that
Life could have been different…



People come and go & times do change
Now all of them have changed lanes
If I would have also moved on
Life could have been different…

They say life is beautiful
They say life is dark
If I would have understood it
Life could have been different…

Paheli???

PAHELI didn’t get the nomination for Oscars…and all sort of articles are flowing around about why it didn’t figure in the final five…just read an article on Rediff…(click on the title to read it)

I don’t know why we care soooooo much for the Oscar nomination… and I have a few arguments to support my statement…I had heard a lot of stories earlier and the article confirmed many of those…point no. 1- why do the producers and directors have to market their film to the jury…why are they asked to request the jury members to watch their movies…I mean if I make a movie with a low budget and then if I have to spend ten times more just to get the jury to watch it, doesn’t make any sense to me…does it?...point no.2- if Lagaan made it to the final five simply because of the presence of the British actors in the film and their influence on the jury (notwithstanding its awesome script and mellifluous direction), then there can’t be more foolish people than us…
point no. 3- why do we want an award from an academy which has no recognition for our culture and values… to them the songs in our movies seem absurd and our actors no more than clowns…but still an Oscar is what every Indian wishes for…as if it’ll make India a superpower or will give us an edge over any nation…what does that imply…I won’t say anything…it’s for us to understand…would they do the same if Filmfare started a category for Foreign Language Film…huh?...that’s all my lord…with that I rest my case…
