VenuG Presents: Shrill voices agains Internet.Org & Airtel Zero is not about commerce but my Fundamsntal Right of Freedom of Choice, Speech, _Employment & Information Source!!!

I wrote a post " Importance of Dr B R Ambedkar on #NetNeutrality here (on 14-04-2015 124th Birth Anniversary. )
Meanwhile Mr Rahul Khullar, The TRAI chief, gave a statement(which seemed strange, illogical & uncalled for. He could give his Personal POV if he was an individual, but he is the chief of regulatory so, he must be impartial never sound biased towards one side.
Read his full statement here.
Also Anjan Ray, Facebook friend of Madhavan Narayanan of The Hindustan Times, posted his response to TRAI 20 questions. IMHO, all the responses by Mr Ray's were heavily loaded in favour of Telecom Service Providers(TSPs) to me he sounded like a PR personell acting on behalf of Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI)
Hence my knee jerk reaction was instant. Following are my "verbatim" responses on the thread. You may read the thread,
A) To understand what TRAI was asking.
B) Mr Anjan Ray's very knowledgable & learned response(NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, HE KNOWS THE SUBJECT)
C) It is my view, that 50% of the responses to TRAI query was given by people,
I) without knowing the subject, but following the herd mentality of the #NetNeutrality hashtag.
II) They had no idea whatsoever, as to what the 20 responses made by the site "netneuteality.in"
III) They simply used the template responses used by the website favouring net neutrality cited in II above.
IV) I too used the templates, but after reading them, and since I am a strong supporter of net neutrality, I did not edit the template, as I felt, no editing was needed.
V) I was also following the nationwide debate on net neutrality in the nation, on print & television media, as well as social media, through @nixxin @maheshmurthy s updates. Both Mahesh Murthy(Pinstorm & Seedfund) & Nikhil Pahwa(Medianama) are staunch supporters of freedom of internet & they fought the draconian Section 66A too. Mahesh, had stuck his neck out, during the arrest of Mumbai Teenager, in the aftermath of Demise of The Shiv Sena Supremo Balasaheb(Bal) Thackrey, when the girl objected to the Sena activists, forcibly asking shopkeepers to down shutters. I myself had asked Mahesh to mellow down his tone,
It is like Inox telling me, watch Bhadakti Jawani or Fast & Furious. Not Byomkesh Bakshy! Regulating single screens & freeing Multiplexes. This is encroachment upon freedom of choice. Mr Ray the fight on #NetNeutrality is not about commerce but Fundamental Rights of Freedom of Choice can't you get it Sir?



My two bits on the above views

Mr Ray I am a very active influencer.
My 2 bits.
A) India is lowest ARPU yes.
B) But so was Spectrum cheap.
C) I am a distraught Airtel consumer.
4 mobiles with GPRS.me, wife, daughter, son(Network dies does NOT work inside home. Complained on 4/3/2015 no remedy I am ATM typing this on the street on sick leave.. Shifting to idea today for voice/data.
 1 Airtel broadband Shifting horribly expensive at 2000/pm horrible network. Customer care don't care. Shifting to Alliance Cable Broadband. Today.
D) I started at ₹98/2Gb/30 days in 2009. in 2012 it went up to ₹198/2Gb/28 days. Now it is ₹252/2Gb/28 days.
Speed has gone from bad to worse. Network does not work inside home. All people say "Aapka phone out of service area batata hai"
E) In all this Rahul Khullar is khullam khulla batting/pimping for telcos!! Want "informed debate" over "shrill voices"My Foot. Till you put "kathi do" no Not in Nizam's Kathi Rolls but you know where, corporate entities take the consumers for a royal ride. I fight/rant I win almost daily.
F) I am suing Bharti Airtel no not in consumer forum but Supreme Court. Habeas Corpus Fundamental right of freedom of speech, information & denial of service. Hold your breath For Rs1Crore.
This shall be Kesavanand Bharati Case in class action suit giving financial compensation & damages for mental agony & causing stress.
G) In all this din & melee no one Talks of Indian bandwidth being slowest on Planet Earth even Sub Saharan Africa has faster information highways. India has also highest density of population per Gigabyte spectrum. I.E. more people on network per terabyte specturn. It is like DND Flyover choc-a-bloc bumper to bumper traffic. Totally jammed
 See the nescafe ad showing YouTube buffer

This happens only in India. We are docile.
OTT regulation is reneging on Fundamental Right to work & gainful employment. 30% App development comes from India! Internet.org & Airtel Zero impede them!
I pay data charges. Whether I watch Sunny Leone porn on Xvideos or Download Game of Thrones or flirt with an American on Skype or Send troll face pictures to Narendra Modi on Hike, or share jokes on RaGa on WatsApp is my right.
Here are KRAs
1 DoT
Auction spectrum.
2 TRAI regulate telecoms.
3 Telcos Provide free access @ contracted price. Market forces determine the data/voice/VoIP rates . if they increase they lose consumers. Much like Gold/Crude/Stocks/GSecs/iPhone!. The access after taking charges prepaid/postpaid must be unregulated & free. What consumer does with those minutes/gigabytes is consumers choice. NOT TSPs!!!!
4 Consumers pay contracted data/voice/VoIP charges and get free access to services.
5 Activists on social media. Fight on every breach of freedom of choice of telecom users on social media as MSM is sold out to advertisers
6 Security Agencies under Ministry of Home Affairs. Keep a tab on unscrupulous netizens.

VenuG Presents: Geek Stuff Which Gadget to buy in Aapril 2015.Router, Hard Disk, Media Streamer, Digital Camera

 I wrote this blog on 16th April, 2015, as a part research to buy

1. A Hard drive, which could be accessed from anywhere, by logging into it, which worked as a cloud sharing storage device, as well as a media sharing device, on WI-fi inside your home.
2. AWi-fi router. Read the blog and note below why THIS BLOG!
3. A media streaming device(Roku 3/WD TV/Chromecast) why Roku 3 HERE
4. A Digital Camera, with video recording capability, with online update possibility with which, you could instantly update your pictures, on Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr/Picassa/Flickr/Instagram and videos on YouTube/Vimeo/Soundcloud 
The plan was
connect
1 Our Phones (4 in number, 1 Android, ! Windows, 1 Symbian, 1 iPhone) 4 Nos
2 Media streamer Roku 3 1 Nos
3 Desktop 1 Nos(Son) 1 Nos
4  Macbook Pro (Daughter) 1 Nos

4 Netwoprk and a really fast Broadband internet connection 8Mbps & above) Tikona fails 

 WHY THIS BLOG???

In the hurry I committed a blunder, by buying D-Link AC750 Dual Band Wireless Router from Reliance Digital in a hurry at Rs 2,599.00 here instead of online HERE at Rs 1810(1719 now) I was in a hurry to get a new broadband connection( VenuG Presents: Which Broadband connection in Kolkata, will satisfy your kid who is a gamer? HERE ) for my geek gamer son Dhruv, who was highly dissatisfied with our Airtel Broadband which IMHO was highly exorbitant and slow for the price paid by us. Rs2000 a month!!! I am not dissatisfied for the price paid, but for what I saw on the back of the box. Which in the hurry I had not read. The capability of sharing HD stream does not exist(you cannot peer share bur access web separately(Say I am streaming Game of Thrones from  Netflix, on my television, using Roku3, my son cannot share and watch the same stream, on his desktop,or my daughter on here iPhone or Macbook Pro) Though they can sit next to me and watch it. Here are those AC 802.1 Routers which can do this(SHARE STREAMING HD). D-Link AC1750 CAN DO THIS!!! 
So I decided  

So router D-Link AC 750 DIR813BOUGHT
Digital Media Streaming device Roku 3 decided
Now for the 5.1 Media Player it is a tie between iBall Dhwani & Intex IT-4850(prefer iBall Dhwani mentioned in the blog linked in the beginning & this philips one SPA 4500 Bluetooth enabled speakers(for blue tooth(shall decide after physical research in offline store) HERE

view all 5 photos in gallery

MSRP
$219.99

Lowest Price$116.99

• Pros
  Easy setup and configuration. Excellent Read/Write performance. Great remote-access service. Integrates with Facebook; other media devices
• Cons Runs a little warm. Highest storage capacity capped at 4TB. No granular user control over Facebook integration. Some performance lag within the interface.
• Bottom Line
  Seagate Central is a near-perfect NAS for home users: It's easy to set up and delivers business-class performance, but its storage is capped at 4TB.
  
  
  The Seagate Central$116.99 at Amazon is an impressive NAS device (Network Attached Storage) targeted at home users. This attractive, yet simply-designed piece of hardware provides easy sharing of photos, videos, music, and documents between multiple users within a home network or even outside of the home—whether on a PC, Mac, or smartphone. A bonus is that it's designed to work as a whole-home central media library for sharing and accessing data from game consoles, Smart TVs, and Blu-ray discs.
  
  
    A true multimedia device, the Seagate Central is perfect for the starring role at the center of a home network. Not only is this NAS easy for home users to set up and manage, but it also offers business-class performance. My only real disappointment is that the highest capacity available for it is only 4TB. Today's home users amass such huge amounts of data; some will undoubtedly be left wanting more capacity—especially given how much they will enjoy using the Seagate Central.

VenuG Presents: Economy is not ONLY Sensex, but ALSO GDP, Fiscal Deficit, Per Capita Income, Unemployment Numbers, Tha Believable DATA

Today, when I woke up & opened Facebook App, I found, that my friends Son, Abir, also my protégé, who keeps asking me questions frequently, by tagging me to his Facebook status.
Normally , I reply then & there, and most of the time, rather every time, the economy as well as Sensex behaved, as I had replied in my own lengthy way, in detail.
       As Abir is 19, already a BSE/NSE investor, and an budding Chartered Accountancy student. I want him to be inclusive, ethical, conservative & duly diligent investment advisor. As IMHO, the only way, to his huge success would be the untapped 90% Indians, who have no stocks in their portfolio or 80% insured Indians, or 95% Indians without any Mutual Fund or SIP in their kitty. They are larger market than the 2% HNIs.

His question today, is deep, far reaching & tricky, where I'm likely to trip, and involves RBI Rates, GDP, Sensex & Bank Interest Rates and Inflation. I chose to stick my neck out on public domain, in full view of my international audience, many of who are cross-border investment funds. I will rather than writing the whole blog insert my Instagram #VenuKiClass updates on the subject, links, pronouncements & ideas running around in the world economists mind & investor sentiments. As well as Cartoons, Screenshots of Newspapers.

So , here is Abir's Question.

There's this idea of .mine, which I want someone to make a cartoon, Corporates, sitting in front of RBI, Fort, begging Raghuram Rajan to cut RBI Repo rate, when he hands it over to Banks, some Banks(Most of them, already having huge NPAs in their Balance Sheets) throwing 15 naya paisa in their begging bowl. SBI, ICICI HDFC & 4 other Banks have reduced their Base rate by 0.15% or 15 basis points against the 50 basis points reduced in 2 25 basis point reduction in Repo rate by the RBI Governor in November & February. (1 basis point reduction being 0.01%)

     Since I can't draw for nuts, the next best thing that I can do is post a cartoon available online. So without wasting much of your time, here is it. 

The source is cartoon stock dot com. 

The rich lady is parting with pittance to the beggar, the alms he does not need. Well, in the same way, as per my earlier #VrnuKiVlass updates, I'm yet to see in the media, any Bank press release, announcing unadited financials total deposit &,advances CAGR or profit numbers, mark my words, when they do, the advances growth rate shall be the worst in 24 years since 1991 liberalisation budget by Dr Manmohan Singh, in the P V Narasimha Rao's budget. The point being, when most of the banks are flush with funds/cash

A) There are no takers for new Bank Credit.

B) Banks are compelled to invest these surplus funds into Gilts & G-Secs as the Call Money market too is damp, due to no need by Any Bank in the Interbank Market. Also, Banks are surprisingly & totally outrageously stupidly investing in an already overheated Stock Market. So, my question, who who benefit, from the rate reduction? Home Loan buyers? Tell you what? The new home loan seekers are those, who already own 2/3 or sometimes 4 houses, and to them, 0.15% reduction is chanachur garam

 Or snacks, not dinner!! For them 20% price gain annually is what they look for, not the interest rate, they anyway invest in realty, boom, bust, recession or stagflation. The employment numbers & the new employees, with the pay packages they are getting cannot afford a new house. For a 40 lakh house(which is the starting price of any affordable and size wise reasonable house, the EMI is ₹30000(₹30Lakhs being the loan component at 25% margin) The minimum income required for a ₹30000 EMI is ₹60000 per month, who has such incomes in India? Barely 5% of which 4% already have more than 2 houses. 

Here an earlier unfinished blogpost titled 

"VenuG Presents : #VenuKiClasz on Macroeconomics. A study into Current Account Deficit, which shows declining economic Indicators like IIP & CAD.

Two screenshots, one showing IIP &,second questioning why Banks are not reducing interest rates. Mind you, we at Syndicate Bank, last revised interest rates downwards by 25,basis points was in 2013!!! 1

2 

India is a long term story, it will grow bigger than China & US by 2019(my earlier prophecy was 2025 ) not because of what Government, Industry , RBI, Ministry of Finance of NITI Ayog(renamed planning commission) do. But due to demographics. 65% of Indians are under 35 & they consume, this consumption is the petrol in Indian Economy Car! 

But wait, as it grows by 2019, it will fall in 2040, when 65% India is over the age of 50 & risk averse.

Of course, two things can alter this. If the GoI ministry of technology speeds up patenting regime, & allows more & more Indians to register their R&D rather than scuttling them, used with "Make in India For Indians not for Export" (Change from Mr Narendra Modi's Slogan "Make in India for Export" the Indian Economy will gallop, so will the Sensex.

I want the Sensex to gallop on Indian retail investors investments, Indian firms listing more & more, including startups on e-commerce, NOT FII INVESTMENT.

WHY?

What Janet Yellen does in US, will wipe out the Sensex Gains. US is that polygamous man, who looks for new mistresses to sleep with, & its new latest mistresses are Iran & Yemen. US cross border investment funds are not like faithful husbands, they move from country RO country, once they find a new virgin economy, they screw it up then discard it & move to a new virgin economy.

VenuG Presents: Importance Of Dr B R Ambedkar on #NetNeutrality TRAI to Save The Internet email of TRAI

Dear Shri Rahul Khullar, Chairman,

Telecom Regulatory Authority of India

CC: Savetheinternet.in 

CC: Shri Ashok Luthra, Chairperson,

Competition Commission of India. 

Dear Sirs,

I an Indian citizen, request you to save the internet, by keeping Net Neutrality, in order to uphold the fundamental rights, provided by The Constitution of India, which Airtel Zero & Vodafone's YouTube & Facebook packs violate. As per your service guidelines, you have taken an oath to uphold The Constitution of India.

Here are my logical reasons to state that my fundamental rights are violated. 

The Fundamental Rights as per The Constitution of India.

1. Right to equality : Which includes equality

before law, prohibition of discrimination on

grounds of religion, race, caste, gender or

place of birth, and equality of opportunity in

matters of employment, abolition of

untouchability and abolition of titles.

2. Right to freedom: Which includes speech

and expression, assembly, association or

union or cooperatives, movement, residence,

and right to practice any profession or

occupation (some of these rights are subject

to security of the State, friendly relations with

foreign countries, public order, decency or

morality), right to life and liberty, right to

education , protection in respect to conviction

in offences and protection against arrest and

detention in certain cases.

3. Right against exploitation : Which prohibits

all forms of forced labour, child labour and

traffic of human beings;

4. Right to freedom of religion : Which

includes freedom of conscience and free

profession, practice, and propagation of

religion, freedom to manage religious affairs,

freedom from certain taxes and freedom from

religious instructions in certain educational

institutes.

5. Cultural and Educational rights : Preserve

the right of any section of citizens to

conserve their culture, language or script, and

right of minorities to establish and administer

educational institutions of their choice.

6. Right to constitutional remedies : Which is

present for enforcement of Fundamental

Rights.

7. Right to life : Which gives the right to live

with human dignity. This includes rights such

as right to education, health, shelter and basic

amnesties that the state shall provide.

Right to equality explained in detail.

Right to equality

Right to equality is an important right

provided for in Articles 14, 15, 16, 17 and 18

of the constitution. It is the principal

foundation of all other rights and liberties, and

guarantees the following:

Equality before law: Article 14 of the

constitution guarantees that all people shall

be equally protected by the laws of the

country. It means that the State[6] will treat

people in the same circumstances alike. This

article also means that individuals, whether

citizens of India or otherwise shall be treated

differently if the circumstances are different.

[14]

Social equality and equal access to public

areas: Article 15 of the constitution states

that no person shall be discriminated on the

basis of religion, race, caste, sex or place of

birth. Every person shall have equal access to

public places like public parks, museums,

wells, bathing ghats and temples etc.

However, the State may make any special

provision for women and children. Special

provisions may be made for the

advancements of any socially or educationally

backward class or scheduled castes or

scheduled tribes . [15]

Equality in matters of public employment:

Article 16 of the constitution lays down that

the State cannot discriminate against anyone

in the matters of employment. All citizens can

apply for government jobs. There are some

exceptions. The Parliament may enact a law

stating that certain jobs can only be filled by

applicants who are domiciled in the area. This

may be meant for posts that require

knowledge of the locality and language of the

area. The State may also reserve posts for

members of backward classes, scheduled

castes or scheduled tribes which are not

adequately represented in the services under

the State to bring up the weaker sections of

the society. Also, there a law may be passed

which requires that the holder of an office of

any religious institution shall also be a person

professing that particular religion. [16]

According to the Citizenship (Amendment) Bill ,

2003, this right shall not be conferred to

Overseas citizens of India . [10]

Abolition of untouchability: Article 17 of the

constitution abolishes the practice of

untouchability . Practice of untouchability is an

offence and anyone doing so is punishable by

law. [17] The Untouchability Offences Act of

1955 (renamed to Protection of Civil Rights Act

in 1976) provided penalties for preventing a

person from entering a place of worship or

from taking water from a tank or well.

Abolition of Titles: Article 18 of the

constitution prohibits the State from

conferring any titles. Citizens of India cannot

accept titles from a foreign State. [18] The

British government had created an aristocratic

class known as Rai Bahadurs and Khan

Bahadurs in India – these titles were also

abolished. However, Military and academic

distinctions can be conferred on the citizens

of India. The awards of Bharat Ratna and

Padma Vibhushan cannot be used by the

recipient as a title and do not, accordingly,

come within the constitutional prohibition".

[19] The Supreme Court, on 15 December

1995, upheld the validity of such awards.

Why Dr Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar is relevant?

He drafted the above Ya?

On this the 124th Birth Anniversary of Babasaheb Ambedkar, please do NOT allow Airtel Zero & Ilk. 

Here's the detail.

Task of developing a constitution for the

nation was undertaken by the Constituent

Assembly of India , composing of elected

representatives. Constituent Assembly first

met on December 9, 1946 under the

presidency of Dr. Sachidanand later Dr.

Rajendra Prasad was made its President.

While members of Congress composed of a

large majority, Congress leaders appointed

persons from diverse political backgrounds to

responsibilities of developing the constitution

and national laws. [5] Notably, Bhimrao Ramji

Ambedkar became the chairperson of the

drafting committee, while Jawaharlal Nehru

and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel became

chairpersons of committees and sub-

committees responsible for different subjects.

A notable development during that period

having significant effect on the Indian

constitution took place on 10 December 1948

when the United Nations General Assembly

adopted the Universal Declaration of Human

Rights and called upon all member states to

adopt these rights in their respective

constitutions.

The fundamental rights were included in the

First Draft Constitution (February 1948), the

Second Draft Constitution (17 October 1948)

and final Third Draft Constitution (26

November 1949), prepared by the Drafting

Why must we resist Non Net Neutral ISP Plans like Airtel Zero.

A) It will make poorer Indians(Who will use Flipkart App free of Data charges, under Airtel Zero Plan, ) instead of mysmartprice App which requires data charges to be paid & end up paying ₹ 1260 for a Micromax Unite 2 A106 phone available on Paytm at ₹4830 & Flipkart at ₹6090!!!

Committee.

B) The Airtel Zero Plan discriminates against Amazon &Snapdeal ecommerce sites who also sell Xiaomi Redmi 4G phone for the same price ₹8999 as Flipkart but Airtel Zero Plan would direct buyer to Flipkart as There is no data charges to me for using Flipkart App on Airtel Zero Data plans. This is discrimination under Competition Commission Of India Rules. Discriminatory Monopolistic and restrictive trade practice.

Further the employment of software developers & startups in India shall be hit by Airtel Zero & other discriminatory non net neutrality plans.

Looking at the above facts,
I support net neutrality as it stands now & strongly oppose Plans like Airtel Zero which discriminate the fundamental rights of the poor & is not inclusive approach. Also the non net neutrality will stop growth of internet density &,application development in India affecting employment opportunity in software development under "Make in India" policy of the new government

VenuG Presents: I'm VenuG AKA @Venuspeak a Music Freak, somewhere between Priya Ramani, Aakar Patel & @MusicAloud

I'm VenuG AKA @Venuspeak  a music freak.
I hear all kinds of music. I write lyrics, compose music & sing myself at the drop of the hat.
My source of Music is the Bands I mentor, a huge number, the ones I mentored long ago, my .यस.य.यय.य..यय, ., य friends on Facebook & Twitter, Saavn & Gaana, Soundcloud , Reverbnation, YoॉॽंयuTube, Spotify, Shazam, the list is long.
Last week I read three major articles. A blog by my Twitter Buddy and a similar music aficionados @MusicAloud a review of music of new movie, Detective Byomkesh Bakshy , in which, my daughter plays a lead role. HERE
Second an article on theme tune of Sholay a brilliant & detailed, as well as well informed one. By Aakar Patel in Mint Weekend edition, Mint Lounge titled
" The ‘Sholay’ title theme: a symphonic triumph

And an editorial piece by @priyaramani AKA Priya Ramani editor Mint weekend editionedition, Mint Lounge, on why there are no good lyrics songs these days.

Titled ".  The Emितपraan Hashmi age of Hindi film music "

Read more at: http://www.livemint.com/Leisure/FJqjtKJLldxp75oIPpqedM/The-Emraan-Hashmi-age-of-Hindi-film-music.html?utm_source=copyThe reason why I'm writing this is the third one.
Among the three, Priya I presume is the Aam Aadmi Consumer, who listens to music on the move, while jogging/walking/travelling. She discovers music on Apps she admits.
But strangely she hasn't heard the current Atif Aslam Hit "Jeena Jeena"?
I shall finish this after this Byomkesh Bakshy Preview. HERE.

To be continued.
I would request Priya to listen to the following numbers.





1 Jabse Tere Naina Mere Nainon She Laage rey...
2 Amanat Ali Khan Fuzon Khamaj
3 Qurbaan Hua
4 Galiyaan
5 Muskurane Ki Wajah Tum Ho
6 Jeena Jeena
7 Maahi We Mohabbatiyan Sachiya Wet(Maahi Song she hasn't heard)
8 Zahenaseeb (I suggest Priya learn Urdu learn Kaafiya in Shair-o-shayari)
Watch Rekha Starrer Khoobsurat for what Kaafiya means, no NOT KaapiYa?)
9 Dil To Bachcha Hai jee
10 Nadaan Parindey
The music is no longer the 50s poetry & romance, really post 2000 "MUSIC" has become central. However I may hate Yo Yo but I can dance to Neela Pani or Chittiyan Kalaiyan Vey!
Music is lyrics , music & beats.
Some Rock Nazis keep telling me, Kurt Cobain, Morrison & Slash
 I tell them grow up. Madonna & Mj sold millions, so does Taylor Swift, or Sean Kingston or Akon. You don't like it don't, but it is music all right. Grow out of Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Queen, Rolling Stones, Beatles rut.
Listen to Madboy Mink's Calcutta Kiss, great words, foot tapping music. Daft Punk made world shake their booty, with Happy.
I hear from Little Richard to Johnny B Goode to B B King, Hard Kaur to Eminem to Amy Winehouse. Yo Yo to Mika to Papon. Come out of the "stereo types." Read @MusicAloud review of Byomkesh Bakshy to know what "range of music " is.




Akar Patel, respect to him went a nauch higher. "Pun intended"
I would Add Karz & Him Kisise Kam nahin. Well my band mate played with Pancham. So know who Manohari/Kersi/Bhupinder Singh are. Add Ek hi khwaab from Kinara too had Bhupinder Singh play acoustic guitar. Like Mohit Chauhan.
Which brings me to a sing from Jab We Met "Tumse hi" & Sarfarosh, my Vadde Praa Jagjit Singh "Hosh waalon ko khabar" Well that's what you call music.
Nain?

Pa pa pa pa Wakaoo Pey pey peu pe pey. Waking.
Remember Waa Was & Trombone & Trumpet Chand Mera Dil Hum kisise kum nahin.
To be continued.

VenuG Presents: Detective Byomkesh Bakshy. Expect The Unexpected. An unbiased preview.

Before I start, I put my neck out.

A) This is Dibakar Bannerjee's "Detective Byomkesh Bakshy" & NOT Sharadindu Bandhyopadhyay's Satyanweshi Byomkesh Bakshy. The story is his creative treatment, do NOT watch with the book in mind.

B) This movie, like Kahani, Parineeta, Queen, NH10, will run on "word of mouth publicity & NOT what Komal Nahata, Taran Adarsh, (Look I read Film Information, Film Trade Gyide, Screen, when I wore chaddis, My Late Dad, K Balakrishna Menon, worked for "Sah Enterprises Pvt Limited the biggest film exhibitors in CP, Berar(Rajasthan) from 1957-2008(his demise) Pratim D Gupta, Anupama Chopra, Rajeev Masand, Raja Sen, Mihir Phadnavis reviews.

C) The movie on box office at the moment is behind Fast & Furious 7 on bookmyshow too,

But Wait for the second week. Poila Boisakh is on 15th, this movie shall pick up in the second week, this will be this years "Mishawr Rahasya" The " Notun Borsher Shubhechcha Chobi" in Bengal!!! 

This is my current Facebook Status.

Disclaimer: Those who know me, know, that I am as unbiased as one can be, and am a film, television & music aficionados. I watch the best movies, of that year, I see every film by Anjan Dutta, Kaushik Ghosh, Late Rituparno Ghosh, Sujoy Ghosh, Quashik Mukherjee.

The movies I've seen last few years are, Autograph, Queen, The Lunchbox, Ship of Theseus,  NH10, Ugly(the last one by Anurag Kashyap) Thank You Sir, Bhooter Bhabhishyat, A Month in March, Abhoman, Tasher Desh, Mishor Rahasya, All the Byomkesh Films as an date, by Satyajit Ray, Anjan Dutta, Rituparno Ghosh & Basu Chatterjee Teleserial where Rajat Kapoor played Byomkesh Bakshi & K K Raina played Ajit & Sukanya Kulkarni played Satyabati. (Or Satyaboti) I'm writing extempore. I've not only read Feluda, Byomkesh & Kakababu before I turned 25(1985) Have seen practically all Teleserials including Sandip Ray's Satyajit Ray Presents. And I have read Sunil Gangopadhyay's Kakababu in Jaipur, through my ex band mate Late Manas Chakrabarty. (An MREC B.Tech Student who later went & joined NBC or National Engineering Industries at Jaipur) I've watched Sonar Kella at Jaipur, Joy Baba Felunath Too. Have seen Mishor Rahasya with Prosenjit Bubmba playing Kakababu. So my tryst with Bangla Puja/Childrens Literature / Mysteries/Detective Serials started early. Having read Doyle, Perry Mason, Christie all before I turned 17(1977) do NOT consider this as a biased preview .

Watch the Basu Chatterjee's Doordarshan Serial episodes HERE all 32 of them.

See it after you watch the movie. 

I did write "a doting dad's blog post" HERE titled "Elen Satyaboti" 

Here is a Vogue interview of her. 

Let me start by admitting, that , I'm an interested party in this movie, as the picture above is that of my Daughter, Divya Menon. Who's anyway otherwise talented. Not only as  NIFT graduate Fashion Designer, who works for Sabyasachi Mukherjee as an Assistant, has walked ramp at Lakme India fashion Week, has choreographed umpteen models before she passed out of NIFT Kolkata, has designed graphic works at practically every 5* in Kolkata, all with a Nokia 5300 & a Desktop. 

The proof of the pudding is in eating.
Here's a 5 year old video.
Yes!!! She sings impeccably, so does my son Dhruv.
A video of her.

Now let us talk about the film. Well among the Byomkesh played up to now, my favourite is Abir Chatterjee, then Rajat Kapur, Bumba Da is impeccable as Kakababu, but, my favourite Bengali Slueth is Sabyasachi Chakrabarty as Feluda, so soft & unadulterated, so I will watch Sushant the Hindi Protagonist, with magnifying glasses. Having watched him in all his films, especially his Kai Po Che, Shuddha Desi Romance & PK, I have a wee bit optimism, but to compare him with Abir Chatterjee is comparing Apples & Oranges. 

To Compare Anand Tiwari (Impeccable in Ship of Theseus) with K K Raina & Saswata Chatterjee again not done. 

To Compare Divya with Sukanya Kulkarni or Ushasie Chakraborty again futile.

Swastika Mukherjee in all this is too damn lucky actress. There is no comparable character, and I'm sure Swastika would be the dark horse, like Saswata Chatterjee as Bob Biswas in Kahani.  I'm sure, the character is an add on Dibakar Banerjee addition, unless it is the Advocates mistress in Pother Kanta(Episode 2 of Basu Chaterjee Television adaptation)

The 6 chakka winners in this movie before watching. 

A) Swastika's Anguri. Wildfire full of meat & oomph

B) Meiyang Chang

C) Music 7 songs by 7 composers Sneha Khanwalkar being the only mainstream Bollywood, I Lou Mink & Shaad Calcutta Kiss. Review by a Twitter buddy @MusicAloud HERE

D) Costume Design.

E) Set Design.

F) Photography. 

The above six would be nominated for awards for sure.

My review will follow below after First Day First Show

But here's my tip to Byomkesh Nazis.

A) Do Not compare. You can't compare Saigal, Dilip Kumar & Shahrukh Khan as Devdas or Motilal & Jackie Shroff as Chunnilal in Sarat Chandra Classic Bollywood adaptation.

B) Amitabh & Shahrukh as Don.

C) Amitabh & Hrithik as Vijay Dinanath Chavhan in Agnipath or Danny Denzongpa & Sanjay Dutt's Kancha China. Rishi Kapoor in Agnipath 2 rocked in the cameo like Swastika & Meiyang here. 😝(I am yet to see OK!!!)

D) Prosenjit Bumba is shown using iPhone/iPad in latest Kakababu Mishawr Rahasya but the movie rocked & was superhit poila boishakh.

E) Quashik Mukherjee's Country of Cards, or the latest Tasher Desh, the Ravindra Nath Tagore's slapstick buffoon comedy of errors play, Q as he's known to us, inserted gay relationship(no relation to the original Tagore classic) could be questioned by Thakur Nazis, but the feedback old watchers gave was, they enjoyed the treatment.

F) The same goes to the use of Drums & Guitars in Ranjona Ami Aar Ashbo Na Tagore Rabindra Sangeet , Jagarone beautifully sung by Somlata Acharya. 

Well there are Nazis, but then, you cannot compare Benedict Cumberbatch or Robert Downey Junior as Sherlock Holmes or 

Dr Watson's  played by various artistes.

Treatment of Literature changes with times.

Say 2 States & 3 Idiots on celluloid is different from Chetan Bhagat's books Ya?

Let creative freedom exist.

Only then do we get great films.

No I am not at all recommending Ram Gopal Verma's Ramgarh Ke Sholay(even ALU Choley or this the Malegaon ki Sholay is better. But then Sholay is Sholay, you cannot remake Orson Welles Citizen Kane, or Gone With The Wind can You? 

You can't find another Gabbar Singh, or a Rhett Butler, or Scarlett O'Hara. 

No Sir, you can't.

To Dibakar Banerjee, Or my daughter Divya, I quote, Rhett Butler, from Gone With The Wind,

" With enough courage, you can do without a reputation.

#StopPress Just now,

After marriage Sargam with Sala Sali at Mayur Jaipur 22/10/1986.

Here are the tickets. 

Review at 17:00 hours ISR 3rd April 29@5.

Good Friday. 

Expect the UNEXPECTED!!!!

Review shall be here

👇👇👇👇👇

Easter Shall Follow.

I shall not comment about Divya.

1. In a sentence, technically sound on photography, costume design, make up, editing & script. Long, mixed up storyline. Two stories fused into one. Brilliant acting, even by small bit parts, like the Chinese Smuggler, student activist, the servant punti ram, I would give 5/5 on Technique. 4/5 on Acting. 3/5 on Story. Casting 10/5. Kabi as Dr Guha, Swastika as Anguri, Anand Tiwari as Ajit, Sushant as Byomkesh, Meiyang Chang as Kanoi Doi. In that order. Total 3.5/5 Not 4 falls 0.5 on story/slow narrative. Read my preview chakka 6 points. They're bang on(before I even watched it 😝)
2. Reactions a) A Couple in 30s look "ethnic" 5/5 Technically Sound & Great Acting. B) Good Good (2 Young men in 30s ) dress executive. C) Faltu. A young pair. Marwari, born & brought up Sharadindu Nazi. "I've read all 32, why the beep did he mix two stories?" Samajh hi nahin aya kaun kaun hai boss!(Agree TOTALLY) 
3. My technical review. A) Casting Director needs a trip to Hawaii. Brilliant selection of Actors suited physically as well as artistically. Chang, Sushant, Anand , Kabi, Even The Police Commissioner . The Hotel Servant Paltu. 
4. Attention to detail. A) You do NOT find even ONE YELLOW AMBY YA!!! B) No puchka/sattu/muri seller on street. C) Carrom Playing & Coffee House. D) WATCH CAREFULLY THE SIGNBOARDS. I HAVE MY LATE DAD'S DESCRIPTION OF 1948 KOLKATA, THE EACH & EVERY SIGNBOARD IS AUTHENTICALLY DETAILED & DEPICTED. YOU DO NOT SEE ONE McD/KFC/CCD/P C Chandra/Anjali Jewellers hoarding Ya? E) I to my wife "I found Divya & Tini Sen(The girlfriendgirlfriend pupil of Byomkesh who got married) dress staid & frayed. Wife "Unmarried Girls of 30s/40s never wore puff sleeved garish clothes like married women. Women(Unlike Anguri) of pre independence, were backward, in inferior position, wore less affluent clothes as compared to Zamindar wives or Men. And she was a sister of Congress politician. Remember Indira, Sucheta Kriplani, Sarojini Naidu & Gandhi ji's neices ? (Well, Shree is a trained fashion designer so her word is better than mine!!)
5. Even if you are a Byomkesh Sharadindu Nazi like me, GO WATCH A MOVIE, THE ONLY TWO MOVIES WHODUNITS WHICH COME TO MY MIND ARE A) Rajesh Khanna Nanda murder mystery B R Chopra's  Ittefaq & Vidhu Vinod Chopra's excellent thriller Khamosh, *ing Amol Palekar, and a slew of cast. Technically a brilliant film, every student of film making must watch.
6. If you do NOT take my word take the word of 35 reviewers see the * ratings 
   
7. See Khamosh here & Ittefaq here 

Now some reviews from online. 

Via. Book My show.

 At the fag end, I have a complaint against Mark Zuckerberg & Sheryl Sandberg,
First they suggest, that I know Dibakar Bannerjee,
YES! I DO!!!
Not because he chose Divya(Or Dibya as Bangals & Ghotis call her)
But because I've watched Khosla Ka Ghosla, Oye Lucky Lucky Oye & Love, Sex aur Dhoka already, Khosla Ka Ghosla thrice & Lucky Oye & LSD twice!

BUT when I try to send a friend request, they call me abusive!!

I rarely use profanities. On my Twitter timeline, have used it twice, both times, my net nanny @SangitaSri has lambasted me. So calling me "abusive, FACEBOOK @Zuck NOT DONE DEI MALLU OUTRAGE

HOBEY NNA CHOLBE NNA!!
