Chuk de India is a classy movie for its naturality and the kind of thrill it brought to its viewers. I am sure more than half the people didn't understand hockey just like me but as I was watching the movie I felt like I have had played hockey all my life.
Before watchign the movie I was kinda wondering how I am going to sit through a hockey movie and that too a Bollywood movie on hockey. But Chuk de India sure got me biting my nails everytime the matches were played. I can't beleive a bollywood movie actually made me clap each time the Indian team made a goal!!!!!!!
Well Shah Rukh did complete justice to his role Kabir Khan as the Indian Hockey team coach. I am glad he chose to do this role. Also the 16 girls did an amazing job. My favorite gal character was the Punjabi gal and Komal (the short girl).
The movie sure got me inspired to read and understand more about the national sport of India...I am talking about HOCKEY :).....(this is for the people who think cricket is the national sport of India)..Seriously, I think the Indian Government should do more to promote Hockey and encourage schools to have more hockey matches to generate interest for hockey among children.
But my favorite sport has always been and will always be Tennis :).....

Who is guilty?
Today as I was watching the news on TV I had to see one of the most brutal scene, a chain snatcher being beaten up. Read here http://www.ndtv.com/convergence/ndtv/story.aspx?id=NEWEN20070024158&ch=8/28/2007%2012:21:00%20PM
What truly disturbed me was the fact that when a cop appeared on the scene, he too joined the people to continue the brutality. Isn't that breaking the law? How can the very person responsible to maintain law and order, take the law in his own hands. The man made a mistake and should be punished according to the law, but the cop and the people who took the law in their hands should be charged as well for attempted murder. And that is justice.....

Check out the video :)...
Check out this song "Ordinary Day" by Dolores O'Riordan from her album "Are you Listening?". For those who don't know she was the lead singer of the group The Cranberries. This is her first solo album.
I totally love her voice and she is a mother of three kids and I must say she looks absolutely gorgeous :)..
Enjoy the video and song!!!
