essay on WATER

Sonu, a kid from our colony was sitting on the boundary wall and was vigorously studying a piece of paper…When I inquired what it was ,he replied that its an essay which he was remembering by heart … “tomorrow there is an essay competition in school and my dad has gathered from his sources that the topic for the essay competition is WATER…My dad has written this essay and asked me to memorize so that I can do well in the competition..” he said… My pupils dilated as I read the essay ..I am giving here the exact copy…

WATER

Water was an liquid thing…It was very important to mankind…We do many things with water…We bathe(with soap),wash clothes(with surf),clean our floor(with phenyl),also clean our car using water ..Many varieties of water are there…rain water , tap water ,drain water, river water, mineral water, well water, etc...The most pure water comes out of Aquagaurd…Water has become costly …A single water pouch costs one rupee…Water is also there in cold drink …The milkman also mix milk to water ..If water is kept in the fridge, it catched cold and become a solid thing called ice…

But the true is that water is an chemical ..It was made of H and O…If we drink water,we go into the toilet…It comes out of our body like water but is yellow coloured and is salty…We shouldn’t drink water at bedtime because we will do toilet in sleeping... Water comes from heaven and also from hell…From heaven water falled as rain and from hell it comes out as well water…There is water too in the oceans but it is different water…Fishes live in water and becomes its queens…I don’t know who is the king of water ..I hear that our body made of water also but it false…When our body is cut, blood comes out not water…

Water is called “pani” in hindi…many songs beautiful are on water ..They are “pani pani re”, “tip tip barsha pani”, also “pyaar hua ikkrar hua,pyar se kyon darta he dil”…There is no pani word in the last song but lots of rainwater there in the song..It is a love song, thus we should love water…

As I completed reading the essay, Sonu’s dad walked to the scene…He, trying to show off his English knowledge,asked “so how is the essay ?” …I replied dryly, “Its great but don’t u think it has got some grammatical errors”…The colour of his face faded but he replied “I know…but it was intentional ,I wrote the essay for a 7^th standard kid , do u expect him to write a perfect essay !"

Shaking my head as I walked off, I heard him advising his son to keep away from me…

Nostalgia...

This video sums up all the fun my gang,DOGSASS ,had when we had gone to goa in 2006....

LUCK BY CHANCE....the review...

This must watch movie "LUCK BY CHANCE" unravels the intricate fabric of BOLLYWOOD,err hindi film industry layer by layer delicately yet sophisticatedly...Though the movie title is about "luck" ,"chance" etc but this delightful zoya akhtar movie crafts each of its scene in such minute details and perfectinism that chance factor is thrown miles away..

The story meanders around the two chief protagonists,Farhan Akhtar and Konkana Sen Sharma who want to make it big in the big bad world of Bollywood...The movie showcases their journey ;albeit in dimensionally opposite directions; yet well lubricated by the different aspects of the film indusrty...While Farhan,wanting to become the typical Bollywood hero,learns everything-acting ,dancing,fighting,etc apart from being the manipulative smooth talker who knows how to get his way while Konkona goes through the ever eternal casting couch,recommendations rigors when doing itsy bitsy roles or parallel ones in B grade production houses..

A rags to riches story of a rising star,the theatre versus cinema clash,the star sons/daughters/brothers dilemma,the ripping of western dvds to perfection,the superstitions associated with film making,the fodder of gossip magazines,the asperity of a screen test,etc....The Zoya Akthar script has it all ,in details and in sync..

The gags are plentiful...And each one while evoking a laugh also stirs the heart somewhere....like Mac grim and poise while saying the famous "pure pachaas hazaar " Sholey dialogue ,Farhan saying "hello" to a impassive Diya mirza ,or the Rishi Kapoor describing Dimple Kapadia as "crocodile in the chiffon saris"...The dialogues are crisp and candid...

Performance wise; Farhan "rocks on " again and delivers an honest and ernest one while Konkona is a powerhouse who make her complex character come alive with ease...They are ably supported by Rishi Kapoor as the hilarious veteran producer "Rommy Rolly" ,Dimple Kapadia as the stern superstar mom, Juhi chawla(though a little wasted) as the supportive wife,Isha Shravani as the not so bright star kid on the block and even the "overconfident" yet failed actor and wannable director Sanjay kapoor :everyone strike the right note....And HRITHIk roshan as the shallow superstar deserves a special mention...Even the fleeting cameos by the biggies of the industry leave a lasting impression...

The only thing that works against it is its pace...Its very slow but then pace is the price one has to pay for perfectionism...No wonder Aamir Khan movies are always so long...

Overall the talented Akhtars desevers all the kudus and hope their AKTHARNAMA continues...
