If Karan Johar made Taare
Obvious starcast:
Shah Rukh Khan as the arts teacher (duh duh duh!!).
Aryan Khan as the dyslexic child (even if he could not act for nuts).
Rani Mukerjee as the kid’s mom (assuming Kajol is unavailable).
Abhishek Bachchan as the kid’s dad.
Amitabh Bachchan as the school principal (who cares if the role is ultra minute, he can afford it).
It would be shot in New York to appeal to the NRI audience.
The story line would obviously be different. SRK would fall for the dyslexic kid’s mom. The last scene would have the mom running to the teacher rather than the kid. And again, like in so many other movies, SRK would get someone else’s girl.
It would have one dance number.
The film would be titled ‘Kuch Taare Zameen Par.’
If Sanjay Leela Bhansali made Taare
Obvious starcast:
Salman as the teacher.
Rani as the mother.
Of course the whole film would be shot on elaborate sets. The school would be nothing short of Harvard university.
An orchestra would play every time anyone cried.
Slow motion, different camera angles for every scene.
The school uniforms would match the classroom walls
The film would cost 60 crores.
If Farah Khan made Taare
Obvious starcast:
SRK as the teacher (yawn).
In the original Taare, Aamir makes an entry at the interval point. In Farah’s version, SRK would be on screen on for 2.30 hrs out of the 2.45 hrs and would be introduced in the first scene itself.
The story would be changed to make sure the above happened. The focus of the film would be a teacher who helps a kid fight dyslexia.
To make it a complete entertainer, there would be a romantic angle, comedy, and action thrown in. Oh idea!! Nikumbh’s character likes another teacher and the kiddo helps him.. throw in some comedy moments there and you have romance and comedy settled. For action.. hmm.. lemme see.. oh yah, the kid gets kidnapped and the teacher fights the baddies to save him. Wow!! I’m quite an imaginative writer. I can see how Farah can write a film from scratch in two weeks straight.
The film posters would have a big SRK with the tiny image of the kid in the background.
If Rakesh Roshan made Taare
Obvious starcast:
Hrithik Roshan as the teacher.
Since Rakesh Roshan cannot think beyond science fiction these days, this film would have that too. Instead of dyslexia, the kid would have alienositis or something, a condition induced due to him witnessing an alien abduction.
Instead of Nikumbh being an arts teacher, he would be a physics teacher, and instead of asking kids to be creative, he would ask them to challenge the science we know.
In the scene where Nikumbh asks the kids to open their minds and make whatever they want outdoors, the kid Ishaan, instead of making a boat, would end up making a working spaceship prototype.
Nikumbh would cure the kids problem by making a full fledged version of the kid’s prototype, traveling to the alien planet, and asking them to give the kid his powers back.
The film would have music by Rajesh Roshan ripped off from some world music.
The film’s name would again start with a K.. probably ‘Kuch Aliens Taaron se Zameen Par’.
The director would make sure Hrithik gets to show all his abilities. This would mean a scene with Roshan jr flexing his muscles, and a dance competition in the end, instead of an arts competition.

Need the cup or the coffee?
A group of alumni, highly established in their
careers, got together to visit their old university
professor.
Conversation soon turned into complaints about
stress in work and life.
Offering his guests coffee, the professor went to
the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee
and an assortment of cups - porcelain, plastic,
glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive,
some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to
hot coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand,
the professor said: "If you noticed, all the nice
looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind
the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for each
of you to want only the best for yourselves, that
is the source of your problems and stress. What all
of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but
you consciously went for the best cups and were
eyeing each other's cups. Now if life is coffee,
then the jobs, money and position in society are the
cups. They are just tools to hold and
contain Life, but the quality of Life doesn't
change. Some times, by concentrating only on the cup,
we fail to enjoy the coffee in it."
So, don't let the cups only drive you... enjoy
the coffee (instead)

Facts about women..cntd
Women can't keep secrets. They eat away at them from the inside. And they don't view it as being untrustworthy, providing they only tell two or three people.
Women keep three different shampoos and two different conditioners in the shower. After a woman showers, the bathroom will smell like a tropical rain forest.
If a man goes on a seven-day trip, he'll pack five days worth of clothes and will wear some things twice; if a woman goes on a seven-day trip she'll pack 21 outfits because she doesn't know what she'll feel like wearing each day.
Women love cats. Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.
Women love to talk on the phone. A woman can visit her girlfriend for two weeks, and upon returning home, she will call the same friend and they will talk for three hours.
It was good fun reading it. wasn't it?! ;)

women power?! :P
Silent Treatment
A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each
other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day,
he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight.
Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper,
"Please wake me at 5:00 AM " He left it where he knew she would find it.
The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM
and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and
see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by
the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."
Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.
WIFE VS. HUSBAND
A couple drove down a country road for several miles, not saying a word.
An earlier discussion had led to an argument and
neither of them wanted to concede their position.
As they passed a barnyard of mules, goats, and pigs,
the husband asked sarcastically, "Relatives of yours?"
"Yep," the wife replied, "in-laws".
W O R D S
A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day...
30,000 to a man's 15,000.
The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...
The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"
CREATION
A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be
so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time."
The wife responded, "Allow me to explain.
God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me;
God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!"
WHO DOES WHAT
A man and his wife were having an argument about who
should brew the coffee each morning.
The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first,
and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee."
The husband said, " You are in charge of cooking around here and
you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
Wife replies, "No, you should do it, and besides, it is in the Bible
that the man should do the coffee."
Husband replies, "I can't believe that, show me."
So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament
and showed him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says.........."HEBREWS"
God may have created man before woman,
but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece

Facts about women!
Women love to shop. It is the one area of the world where they feel like they're actually in control.
Women especially love a bargain. The question of "need" is irrelevant, so don't bother pointing it out. Anything on sale is fair game.
Women never have anything to wear. Don't question the racks of clothes in the closet; you "just don't understand".
Women need to cry. And they won't do it alone unless they know you can hear them.
Women will always ask questions that have no right answer, in an effort to trap you into feeling guilty.
Women love to talk.Silence intimidates them and they feel a need to fill it, even if they have nothing to say.
Women hate bugs. Even the strong-willed ones need a man around when there's a spider or a wasp involved.

DASAVATARM !
Its 1:30 Am and my eyes are refusing to shut, how much ever hard that I try..! Recollecting back certain conversations that I had today, one tats significant is de movie dasavataram..! its a movie which has been in hype for a long time, a movie which i personally feel was worth a wait..! There has been dis n number of discussions, reviews, blogs which 've read on dis movie, some of which were truly brilliant that i thot 'll pen down couple of my thoughts on dis movie! usually, When ppl watch movies, its of three kinds.. movies for fun, movies meant ONLY for commenting on it and movies which convey a meaning..! I am unable to classify dasavataram in any of three kinds, this itself shows that the movie stands a CLASS APART!! :)So 'd like to say couple of things which moved me in this movie..
wat i liked most in this movie, undoubtedly, KAMAL! he was jus brilliant!The potrayal of ten roles, each to perfection was jus amazing..!! Personally i thought the movie lacked the usual kamal touch,esp when comparing this to movies of his like nayagan, anbe sivam, to say a few.. but i had liked his effort in linking each character together! guess a lot has been said on each of kamal's character and chaos and butterfly thoery ect etc.. 'd just like to mention couple of things which captured my attention in dis movie significantly.
To start with the opening track, kalli mattum-jus amazing.. lyrics were simple but very moving!hats off to hariharan, he's sung this song with perfect emotional blend!
christian Fletcher-my fav character of kamal's..yea yea, i know of all his ten i liked this the best,, actually i dunno why, but the minute i saw this character of his, i found him very arresting..he radiated this power through this character of his, that i enjoyed it the best! and of course to mention 95 years old patti and his imitation of george bush! super!
The scene where kamal was tied to lord perumal at first and also one another where he catches the lord at the dawn of tsunami.. the screen shots where superb!
The way they'd showed the tsunami effect, it was really nice.. i hav always heard of the magnitude of the disaster but wen i saw de movie i actually felt it!
two others scenes also 'd liked, the way krishneveni patti locked herself in the cupboard..! i found de scene too cute! and the fighting sequence between Shingen Narahashi and christian, for a minute wen i saw de japanese character of kamal's i couldn jus believe it which makes me add one other point.. usually wen a movie releases, ppl talk of de acting, direction, music, max costumes! but i thought with out make up, no way could have kamal exhibited his ten roles that he'd dreamed..! if he was able to potray to us each character he'd visualied, its only due credit to the make up artist, westmoor! half of kamal's success in his acting was because he was depicted so well to the audience!I found Asin quite annoying in this movie,[ no offense to asin fans!] and mallika, i actually wondered why she was even there in de movie and the dubbing of her voice was jus awful!! These are couple of things which i wanted to mention on de top of my head..anything else, will edit this blog!
All in all, a movie by kamal, for kamal and of kamal!

Today, upon a bus, I saw a girl with golden hair
I looked at her and sighed and wished I was as fair.
When suddenly she rose to leave,
I saw her hobble down the aisle.
She had one leg and used a crutch
But as she passed, she passed a smile.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine
I have 2 legs, the world is mine.
~~~
I stopped to buy some candy
The lad who sold it had such charm
I talked with him a while, he seemed so very glad
If I were late, it'd do no harm.
And as I left, he said to me,
"I thank you, you've been so kind.
It's nice to talk with folks like you.
You see," he said, "I'm blind."
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 eyes, the world is mine.
~~~
Later while walking down the street,
I saw a child with eyes of blue
He stood and watched the others play
He did not know what to do.
I stopped a moment and then I said,
"Why don't you join the others, dear?"
He looked ahead without a word.
And then I knew, he couldn't hear.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I have 2 ears, the world is mine.
~~~
With feet to take me where I'd go.
With eyes to see the sunset's glow.
With ears to hear what I would know.
Oh, God, forgive me when I whine.
I've been blessed indeed, The world is mine.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If this poem makes you feel like I felt,
just forward it to all your friends,
after all, it's just a simple reminder....
We have soooooo much to be thankful for!!!
~~~~~~
Sorrow looks back,
Worry looks around,
Faith looks up

Really a class analogy!
This story is written perfectly how us Indians behave and treat our own kind. The story covers the recent time period but it explains why India was ruled by invaders such as Muslims and British for last 500 years. Some one has made a statement that says ' India is the only country that has never invaded other country' Dha...
Today thanks to USA for out sourcing their labor force to India and making Indians rich. While American billionaires are giving billions to charity our Indian billionaire is busy building billion dollar house in the country where 50% or more people are living in poverty.
An Old Story:
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.
Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or
shelter so he dies out in the cold.
Indian Version:
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the
summer away.
Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and
demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed
while others are cold and starving.
NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper
next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor
Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.
Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that

Today thanks to USA for out sourcing their labor force to India and making Indians rich. While American billionaires are giving billions to charity our Indian billionaire is busy building billion dollar house in the country where 50% or more people are living in poverty.
An Old Story:
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.
Come winter, the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or
shelter so he dies out in the cold.
Indian Version:
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and
laying up supplies for the winter.
The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the
summer away.
Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and
demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed
while others are cold and starving.
NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper
next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor
Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Arundhati Roy stages a demonstration in front of the Ant's house.
Medha Patkar goes on a fast along with other Grasshoppers demanding that
Grasshoppers be relocated to warmer climates during winter ..

CPR- de difference it makes to save a person's life
For a long time I have been wanting to put this down here…after a lot of information collected from doctors, the net and from magazines I am gonna put this down here…this is one post which I jus don want ppl to read but actually learn it and spread it to as many as possible…wat I am gonna talk abt here is how u could administer a CPR(cardio pulmonary resuscitation) to a person whose jus lost his heart beat!! So here I go to tell u wat u should do to become a life saver and ultimately “GOD “to that persons FAMILY AND FRIENDS…
Firstly be bold and act smartly rather than shyin away from the situation.call up the ambulance and rush to the victim. If the victim shows no signs of breathing,let the person lie down with chin facing up. Tilt the head back, pinch the nose and cover the victim s mouth with ur mouth and blow until u see the chest rise. Then put ur hands on the centre of the chest and press. Keep pumping the chest atleast 100 times until the person responds or until help arrives.
Trust me it doesn require a medical degree to do this..all it requires is a sensible and fast action.I witnessed the importance this made in my friend and thought of imparting this to u. After all, U give de person a second chance to live!
now here s the link wher u can see how to administer cpr to a person...
