On 30th January 1948, at around 5:15 p.m. Nathuram Godse killed Mahatma Gandhi. He shot him thrice at the point blank range, his face turned pale, his clothes rinsed in red blood and with the words ‘Hey Ram’ his body fell on the ground. Immediately he was carried inside the Birla house where he was staying and about 5:40 he died. ‘The light has gone out of our lives and there is darkness everywhere’. With these words the then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru, broke the news to the nation.

Its Rambo now. . .
It is over a year when Stallone came up with Rocky Balboa, a tribute to
his cult on-screen boxer avatar. It is good not to talk about the movie which was a moderate ending to a larger than life character, with which people related. People also related to another on screen avatar of Stallone i.e. war veteran John Rambo, who had his share of disappointments in life. So this year he tried to bid adieu to this one as well.
Agenda-2009, perhaps 08
After BJP, now the NDA has put their seal on Advani’s name. Officially he is the Prime ministerial candidate of NDA, and if put in power, we will see this old man as our next PM.

Maya at Her Best
The countdown for the Lok Sabha elections can begin anytime and like the recent past any single party winning a clear majority is not possible. The coalition politics will play an important role in the power game and whose equation sets with whom, will decide about the future prime minister. All the parties are well aware of the reality and hence they have already started gearing up for them.
Not so Treasury
It all began in 2004 with the finding of one treasure by Benjamin Gates [Nicholas Cage],based upon the Gates family legend. In 2007 the legacy continues and our treasure protector [claimed by him in the first movie] is back. But sorry to say he is not back with a vengeance.
New Year; New Beginning
This is the first post which I am posting in the new year so first of all happy new year to all [well I know it is a little late]. The delay in my making a post is not because I was too busy in my New Year celebrations, and had no time to make one. But because of the fact that this will be the first post of year 2008, so I was simply short of ideas about the subject. It is not that I was totally blank, infact I had a few plots but none of them materialized. So one might be wondering as to what the subject of this New Year post is, which almost took me 2 weeks to write. I think we will soon figure it out.
