Fall from Grace!

The last few days have been disappointing,for a lot of people I have adored have let themselves down.

N.Ram of The Hindu, Telugu Movie Director Shekhar Kammula of 'Happy Days' and Sania Mirza of Shoaib Malik!!!

To start off, why Pakistanis of all Idiots in the world?And to put it mildly why Shoaib Malik of all the dim wits?That Dimwit thinks he'd disappointed "all the Muslims" in the world for not winning the T20 World Cup 2007!!!Irfan Pathan, Zaheer Khan?Hello!

I have been a great Sania-fan, for her forehands and T-Shirts.Also, for her guts, for shutting off the whining 'minuscule conservatives' about her choice of dressing.In one press conference she calmly knocked the ever speculating media into senses, saying "If all 'ifs and buts' were true all my uncles would be aunties!". How axiomatic of speculation in sports. If not for those 1000 unforced errors Sania Mirza would have been world number 1!!!

Sania, I do hope Mr.Malik mends his image and you have a great marriage. Teach him some sense first. But for you clearly it was a murky fall from grace!

Shekhar Kammula, the man who made Godavari-an epic love story. A man who made Telugu movies worth waiting for(again). A man whose work stood out in all the formulaic balderdash, of graceful drama amidst repulsive pelvic thrusts, of subtle humor amongst over the top buffoonery, of music and lyrics amidst vulgarity and drum beats!

He was the Man with a difference,until 'Leader' happened!

Haven't seen such incoherent screen play in a long time. Was Sekhar sleep walking?

And to top it all the hero, Rana or wateva, cannot act for his life!Cannot!

And what are Leaders made of? Half baked ideas?Relentless pussy footing?

Shekhar please unlearn 'Leader', watch some Mani Ratnam, please dust your brains. Please. Please. I want to wait for your next movie not dread it!

N.Ram

Oh!For all your high sounding legalistic defense about 'The Hindu (Divided) Family', please shed all the 'holier-than-thou'-ness. Please stop putting up that self-righteous air so characteristic of narcissistic Leftists! What else can I make of this 'recent' highly opinionated editorial of yours?

Eleven In a Row(DMK won 11 by-elections in a row, if you remember the elections, it had only scraped through with help from Congress and Color TVs!). And the TN Govt carries a 3/4th page advert in Tamil in all the 'national' editions of 'The Hindu'. Why? Will Ram answer this, or will he file a defamation suit. Oops,weren't you against its' usage? Didn't you support M F Hussain's right to draw tasteless pictures of Goddesses and Gods?Or was that because you are a closet iconoclast searching for secular props?

And the Op-Eds in your paper!As if nothing else matters in the world, such blah-ness!And how the Reader's Editor has been cut to nothingness!And where should I begin about the partisan coverage that the Indo-US Nuclear Deal got, or the muted reporting on Gen.Fonseka issue?Or the Civilian Nuclear Liability Bill?

I am surprised at how Mr.Ram has been ru(i)nning the paper. Where is all the erudition Mr.Ram?One has to look inwards sometimes.

Of all the three, Mr.Ram's fall has been the steepest. And I don't see much scope for redemption. Unless all the legalistic high-sounded-ness is buried for plain sensible English.

I am sure many many people have been let down.
