My name is not Khan

My name is not Khan and I am not a Muslim, but I just fell in love with the movie not because it has Shah-Rukh-Khan, simply because it is beyond being a Khan or a Muslim.

A “Wake-up” call

What a pleasant surprise it is to get a “wake-up” call from an old friend, baring the long distance, finding time from busy schedules, forgetting about initiatives, and above all keeping you in mind and heart even while watching a movie is commendable. Hats-off to a dear friend, who is in Bangalore for “waking me up” from the deep slumber. It was a pleasant morning on the weekend, when almost the world around me was up and alive, but I was still dreaming….dreaming about the past few months when I had almost planned the rest of my near future, thinking about the whys and hows, having pleasure in feeling almost accomplished, I just didn’t want to get up to face the reality, which was no way near to my dream…pat I get a call, but fast asleep enjoying a virtual life in my dream I was in two minds to answer or not to answer the call.

As published in Daily Excelsior Heard or read about them sometime this year–The Heat Is So Unbearable In Odisha That A Man Tries To Fry An Egg On The Street And It Gets Fried! Chicken tries to cross road – taken into police custody! Wine drinking deity of Ujjain! Driverless car in Delhi, which then turned out to be a fake story and much more such strange incidents that were forced to be in news by some of the reputed news agencies and TV channels. Wonder who is the “creative brain” suggesting and who is the “budding artist” writing or for that matter “well-informed” reader reading them? There is no doubt that Journalism has expanded exponentially to include all life activities of today’s world. Besides, it is no longer limited to imparting knowledge or spreading general awareness of civic life or for that matter scribbling editorials on topics of current interest. Besides being a watchdog, agenda-setter and a peace-maker, media personnel in a multi-cultural society like India ha...
