Mardani 2

MARDANI 2



Directed and written by Gopi Puthran
Produced by: Aditya Chopra

Two Main Characters
·       Rani Mukerji as Shivani Shivaji Roy IPS (Protagonist)
·       Vishal Jethwa as Sunny (Antagonist)

Settings : Kota, Rajsthan
कहानी कुछ ऐसी है जिसमे एक सन्नी नाम से किरदार निभाने वाला खलनायक लड्कीओ को बेरहमी से पीट पीट कर तड़पा कर मार देता है और अपनी हवस को पूरा करता है। एक और बात की वो साथ मे उसका ईगो हर्ट होता है तब एस.पी. शिवानी शिवाजी रॉय चुनौती देता रहेता है। फिल्म का अंत आप पर छोड़ रहा हूँ। 
केमेरा वर्क
कुछ द्रुश्य है जो शिवानी की नजर से फिल्मांकन किए गए है, बलात्कार एवं हत्या और ट्रेन की पटरी मे लाश को फेंकना और वो दिखाने के बदले समोसे मे सॉस का निकालना और खाना जैसे द्रुश्य कंपा सकते है। बाकी सामान्य फिल्मांकन दिखता है।
अभिनय
सन्नी (विशाल जेठवा Vishal Jethwa)


मेरठ (Uttar Pradesh) से आया लड़का जो 18 से 20 साल का होगा जो कोटा पुलिस को मात दे रहा है, मेरठ की नहीं पर राजस्थानी भाषा बोलता है और हर नयी घटना मे बुद्धि से कुछ न कुछ बदलाव करता रहेता है,
(अपाहिज, ड्रायवर, चायवाला गूंगा, स्त्रीवेश, बुरखाधारी)
सन्नी के किरदार निभाने वाले ने अच्छा अभिनय किया है, असल मे यही ही जो हमे फिल्म मे जकड़ के रखता है। इस अपराधी को ऐसा सायको दिखाया है जिसको देख कर हमे गुस्सा भी आता है और मारने का भी मन करता है। विशाल जेठवा को छोड़ कर बाकी सब का अभिनय ठीक है।
शिवानी शिवाजी रॉय
बहुत हिरोगीरी नही दिखाई पर संवादोमे भावुकता, गुस्सा एवं , न्यूज़ चेनल पर पत्रकार से बात-चितके जरिये की युक्ति से  डिरक्टर ने शिवानी का मोनोलोग रखा है जिसमे उसने पुलिस और समाज पर सही कटाक्ष किया है
   कुछ पुलिसवाले मीडिया को पाल के रखते है। 
·       पुलिस ठाणे में भी सहकर्मचारी दुश्मन होते है और बाहर भी। 
·       महिला का उच्च पद से पुरुष कर्मचारी को हुक्म देना लोगो को कड़वा लगता है। 
·       क्रिमिनल लोग अमीर बनने से ज्यादा फेमस होना ज्यादा जरूरी समजते है।
·       महिलाओ को बराबरी तो ठीक अभी
सिर्फ हिस्सेदारी ही मिल जाए तो बहेतर है।

आभार वैदेहीमेम इस फिल्म के लिए जिससे मे हकीकत बनती रहती घटनाओ और सरकारी दफ़तरकी कार्यवाही एवं समाज के कटाक्ष पर कुछ लिख सका। 

कीकत... 


कई ऐसे सबंध मैंने देखे है जिसमे लड़की का ब्रेकप होता है वो भी और जो पति-पत्नी मे सबंध को लेकर जगड़ा चलता रहेता है ऐसे संबंधों मे कुछ लड़के होते है जो एसे मोके पर उसका लाभ लेने मे ज्यादा उत्सुक रहेते है।
पुलिस ठाणे मे FIR लिखने के बजाए भाषण मिलता है ऐसा करती है, ऐसा पहेनती है तो फिर ये तो होगा ही,
अगर सामने गुन्हेगार पैसे वाला या गुंडा या तो ऊपर तक पहेचान वाला हो तो फिर तो FIR की बदले आपकी सिर्फ सामान्य अर्जी ही ली जाएगी और वो भी बहोत परेशानी के बाद मनोबल तोड़ तोड़ कर। 
कार्यवाही शरू है, तपास जारी है, (पुलिस)
बस ऐसे ही सामान्य लोग हार जाते है थक जाते है।
 समय अब बदल रहा है, तकनीकी क्षेत्रो एवं इन्टरनेट के जरिये अब कई सारी घटनाए कम हो रही है या तो जल्द ही मदद मिल जाती है।


गुजरात मे 181 पर कॉल करने से और मदद मिलने वाले कई मोबाइल ऐप्लीकेशन है जिससे आप मदद भी मांग सकते है और सुरक्षित घर भी पहुँच सकते है ।

One night @ the call center


·       Full title: One Night @ the Call Center
·       Author: Chetan Bhagat
·       Type of work: Novel
·       Genre: Humour: Fiction, Romance novel
·       Date of first publication: October 2005


Comment upon the narrative structure of the novel On@tcc


        Mostly people like fantasy, because it gives ecstasy to us that's why in this story he has used mysterious elements, like God. Always this is an end of the story in childhood when grandfather or grandmother tales a story. 

અને દાદા પછી શું કર્યું ?
દાદા: પછી ખાધું પીધું અને રાજ કર્યું.

People mostly believe that, if God is there than everything will be good. So here with the help of God, writer has given a happy ending.  

Book

'Life of Pi' is a novel by Yann Martel, it was published in 2001.

'One night @ the call center' novel was published in 2005.

The narrative structure of On@tcc, it can find a similar narrative structure as a 'Life of Pi' novel. It may possible that Chetan Bhagat got a hint from that novel about narrative technique because in both novel the element of God is there and tricks to describe things to people with logically and mysteriously also.


I've not read that novel but with the help of quotes, summary and class discussion, I can say, Yann Martel, did deep observation about Indian places, schools, faith, spirituality, and religion and life of the animal world and ocean in his book, even he is not an Indian.

Yann Martel has a deep observation and classical thinking about life where Chetan Bhagat is more practical. 


Here we can see the difference of the mindset

“You must take life the way it comes at you and make the best of it.”
-Yann Martel, Life of Pi

“as with money in your wallet the world gives you some respect and lets you breathe.”
- Chetan Bhagat, One Night @ the Call Center

Movie
'Life of Pi' is directed by Ang Lee, published in 2012.
'Hello' movie is based on On@tcc, it's directed by Atul Agnihotri, published in 2008

In the movie, Atul Agnihotri changed many things, he used a helicopter and lounge for a conversation with a lady rather Train as per the novel, other things are okay okay types, he worked well in camera study in a few scenes but not good as Ang lee did in Life of Pi.



Is on@tcc self-help book?

Is on@tcc self-help book?

Every day of life is not the same, day by day we face different types of experience and sometimes when we get a failure at that time we need motivation. There are many books and nowadays videos also available but some people write these types of book to make money so it depends on the person who has written the book  so we need something different or more convenience things like

(સનાતન સત્ય, જે હંમેશા વધુ સાચું હોય અને બધાને લાગુ પડતું હોય મુશ્કેલી સમયે)

For example:

ચાણક્યનીતિ
Some Theology books like શ્રીમદ ભગવતગીતા (ક્રુષ્ણ ઉપદેશ)


        Here,  in the On@tcc in last part, it can find that, God comes and said to them I am with you. One thing is that he will not say Tathastu and you will get everything whatever you want but he just gives guidance to 6 people and they must work on the way with thinking and smart work. It is like you are helping you with the help of self.



A self-help book is one that written with the intention to instruct its readers on solving personal problems. The books take their name from Self-Helpan 1859 best-seller by Samuel Smiles, but are also known and classified under "self-improvement", a term that is a modernized version of self-help. Self-help books moved from a niche position to being a postmodern cultural phenomenon in the late twentieth century

Journalism: Feature Writing and Lead Writing

હું અને મુર્તુજા એટલે એક ઇમારતમાં મંદિર અને મસ્જિદનું સ્થાન

જેની દીવાલે લખેલું રહિમ અને રામ...


ઉનાળોં ચોમાસામાં બદલાઈ જાય અને ખબર ના રહે એમ જ કંઈક મળ્યા પછી અમારી પાકકી ભાઈબંધી ક્યારે થઇ ગઈ એ ખબર નહીં. એક બીજાના નામ સિવાય કંઈ જ પૂછેલું નહીં.  બંને હૃદયથી વાતો કરવા વાળા ક્યારેય મગજ વાપરેલું નહીં.

સાદી જિંદગી વિતાવતો મારો બ્રાન્ડેડ ભાઈબંધ એટલે મુર્તુજા 

મુર્તુજા ભાગ્યે સાંભળવા મળતા નામની મેં જ દઈ નાખેલી... મેં પાડ્યું નવું નામ મુસ્તુ અને મુસ્તુફા...

મુસ્તુફા નામથી માણસોને એમ થાઈ કે કોઈક ખાં હશે પણ મારો ભાઈબંધ મુસ્તુ કૈક આવો છે. પાંચ ફૂટ પૂરો અને પૂરી જેવા ગાલ, ચકળ વકળ થતી ચબરાટ આંખો, સુકાયેલા નાળિયેર ના છાલા જેવા સીધા એના કાળા વાળ, પવનની ગમે તેવી ફફડાટી હોય પણ શરૂ એકટીવામાંય પવન કે કોઈ માણસ એના વાળ હલાવી ના શકે હું પણ નહીં બાકી પવન ની દિશા ને મારી દશા એ બદલાવી નાખે ખરો એ ભૂલ વગરની વાત. ખાલી બહારથી શાંત પણ ચંચળ તો વાત ના કરો સળિયો તો પુરેપુરો પણ અમુકની સાથે જ, બિઝનેસમેન પૂરો પણ કોઈની લીટી ભૂંસીને આગળ ના વધે હો....

ભાઈબંધીમાં એની દોસ્તી પૂરી પઠાણી, અડધી રાત્રે ફોન કરવાનો ગમે ત્યાંથી મુસ્તુ ક્ષણોમાં હાજર હોય હો. બસ અમે એકબીજાને ખાલી નામ થી ઓળખતા ક્યારેય મેં એને આગળ પાછળ નથી પૂછ્યું ના એણે મને...

આ નાત-જાત નું ચાલે છે તો થયું લાવ ને લખવા દે. કેટલાય મંદિર-મસ્જીદ બનાવવા અને નાત-જાતને જાત-ભાતનું કાઢી કાઢીને જગડે છે પણ મારે ને મુસ્તુને કાંઈ જ લેવા દેવા નહીં

એનો મતલબ એ નહીં અમે સાવ નાસ્તિક છીએ
કે અમને કોઈ બાબતે પરવા નથી
પણ

અમે એમ માનીએ કે ઘર ઘરના બે બાધિને ત્રીજાને શું કામ મનોરંજન કરાવવાનું ??

બસ કઇંક આવું જ વિચારીને અમે જીવીએ છીએ.

ઘાત અને આધાત નડે છે,
રોજ પડે ને જાત નડે છે.
ચાલ ને  સરખે ભાગે વહેંચી લઈએ દોસ્ત,
આપણને જે વાત નડે છે... (સુરેશ ઝવેરી)

Know the Author: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie


Know the Author: Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie


Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is a well known Nigerian author. She has written best known novels and short story collection. 

Novels:

Purple Hibiscus
Half of a Yellow Sun
Americanah
For love Biafra
We Should All Be Feminists

The most important matter about her is that,
The Times of Literary Supplement described her as "the most prominent" of a "procession of critically acclaimed young anglophone authors who is succeeding in attracting a new generation of readers to African Literature".

1) The Danger of a Single Story

She is a well known author and also known as good story teller. In this ted talk she calls herself as a story teller. In a very intresting way she is giving some glimpses of poovrty of her own family and some chilhood experiences. In this she talks about critical misunderstanding. If we hear only a particular story about any country or culture in a particular way then it risks our critical thinking. She speaks about her mental shift in literature after reading African writers like Chinua Achebe and many others. Before reading them her earlier characters are entirely different. She portrayed them as having a white skin and blue eyes while in reality it was diffrent. In reality they have chicalate skin or kinky hair. She talks about many short stories and says that stories have been used to dispossess and malign, but they can also be used to empower and to humanize. From her works it seems that she is quite realistic writers like many other African writers like Chinia Achebe and Ngugi Wa Thiongo. In the end of video she very frimly says that,

"When we reject the single story, when we realize that there is never a single story about any place, we regain a kind of paradise".


What I understand is that she talks on being universal not to stick on particular stereotype.

2) We Should all be Feminist

In this second ted talk, she speaks about her own experiences on this gender biasis. The term Feminist has very different perspectives nowadays. But Chimamanda is not talks about that typical feminist. She gives a very uneasy defination of feminist, 

"Feminist are women who felt unhappy because they couldn't find their husband".

She talks about her personal experince of childhood. She wanted to be class monitor in the class. For that it is necessary for her to stood first in the class. She worked hard for it and got first rank. But she did not able to be a monitor because she is a girl. She added that gender matters everwhere in the world. She talks about her experience with waiter who ignored her because she is woman. This shows the gender sterotype which is taught from very early age. She also talks about mariiage. Marriage is more about ownership rather than of partnership. We believe that we human beings act according to culture but actually we create our culture.


3) Talk on importance of Truth in Post - Truth Era

In this video she talks about value of truth by speaking it courageously. She interprets her own name "Chimamanda" which means personal spirit that can never be broken. She talks on the pronounciation of her name. Whenever she went in any event aenchor mispronounced her name. Problme is not with mispronounciation but the problmes is with changing concept of meaning of her name. She speaks about common lies, she used to speak about her height and struck in traffich when someone ask her for arriving late. She talks on her personal experience where she lies because she did not know the name of the writer. In short she tries to make us to be true.
