Surprising isn't it??? When all the stock indices are at all time low, When there is cutting down of jobs like farmers eager to trim down his produce, when the purchase power is low then who is buying gold???
Why are Gold prices touching all time high? Gold has always been "The Precious Metal" ofcourse, my husband is well aware of it, he would never venture in the gatherings where "gold' was the topic and shopping for it was totally an alien thing. But that was few years back when the metal was not that expensive. I really don't know how he will react now if i utter the "Gold"word.
I just hope this metal does not come in the category of "Only for rich" and bloggers like us can well afford it. Hope So.

Delhi 6- Worth a Dekho
This movie came for me in a toss. Yes, really, as my kids and hubby wanted to see the other King Khan starter movie but eventually it was me who won the toss. And we headed for Delhi 6.
You can term this movie in the bracket of all the 'KJO' movies termed to woo the NRI audiences but , with difference. This movie is not at all picturised is Big Apple nor Pear. This takes you straight in bylanes of Chandni chowk or Old Delhi.
I have been to Delhi, but that time i didn't know where i was ( i was just 6 yaar) i do have some friends from Delhi and looking at them i can make out how the director ( who himself is dilliwala) has projected Old Delhi so well.
Small things like the cotton weaver, the chaotic traffic, the cows on streets , the Ram Leela etc reminds us of our childhood days. And for audience who watch the movie miles away from India sometimes yearn to go back.
Abhishek is a NRI lad who comes to India to fulfill his Grandmother( Waheeda Rehman's) wish to die on Indian soil. No sooner he lands he comes across the news heading of sighting a "Kaala Bandar" (Black Monkey). The director here has projected the Kaala Bandar to symbolise the beast within us. Our intolerable nature where brothers have built a wall in their house only to leave the gosipping co sister in laws ,how untouchability is still prevalent, and our total intolerance as far as religion is concerned.In total the movie is remarkably directed by Rakeysh and all the actors have played their part to perfection. Especially Abhishek is a brilliant !(blame Drona on the director, Please).
Sonam is very fresh and charming and AR Rahman's music is again 'Jai Ho'. Totally a must watch movie were the feel is "India Calling".

Joining Spree!!!
http://www.ndtv.com/convergence/ndtv/story.aspx?id=NEWEN20090084041
More and more famous names are being heard joining politics. And now is our one time best(bribed) cricketer Mohammed Azharuddin joining the bandwagon.
With little hope left among the masses about the role of so called ministers,mainly after the Taj Attack it is to be seen how tainted cricketers and flimstars rule us in this coming years.

Teen Killers
http://www.ndtv.com/convergence/ndtv/story.aspx?id=NEWEN20090083894
This is very disturbing. I look upon my 11year old and shudder. This is what is happening in the outside world? First it was teenagers going rampant in college campus killing fellow students but that was not in India was our attitude.
We try our best to give good education, and instill good values as a resposible parent. But then where we are going wrong? Time has come where we should stop thinking 'Its not happening to us' and 'we are safe'.
We Satisfy their demand for increasingly expensive digital gadgets, take them on world tour buy them all the comfort which A,B, and C has. But do we know his likes, dislikes .
I feel there should be more communication between parents and kids.
I think time has now come to look into ourselves! and time has come now to TALK.
