Oliver Twist !!

This is one story which fascinates me forever.So much is there in the story. Happiness...Hope...Sadness..Sorrow..Pain...Agony..Relief..You name it..its there.For a long time...I knew only one Orphan..thats poor little Oliver..I knew only one Evil Guy..Fagin...only one cruel animal..Bill Sikes..
Oliver is always one quite boy. But whenever he opens his mouth he gets into trouble.

"Please Sir, I want some more !! " - one of the most famous lines in the English literature.Trouble starts there and he goes all the way to Mr. Brownlow, suffering in all possible ways.

Artful Dodger...oops my most fav. character after Oliver.FAGIN and BILL SIKES.. the evil characters.

I watched the 1968 movie, Oliver! . Its a musical. Fantastic one. Everyone has played their role to the utmost perfection. Be it Lester as Oliver, JackWild has Dodger,Ron Moody has Fagin and legendary Oliver Reed as Bill Sikes. They say, Reed become famous just because of this role.As I love musicals, this is one more definitive in my movie collection.Recently I got an oppurtunity to watch a recent version. Ace Director Roman Polanski has made a movie Oliver Twist. Beautifully made but still it couldnt capture all the pain and agony which was superbly portrayed in the 1968 version. This one is so rich in colour and made with a big budget.
Its Ben Kingsley who has played the role of Fagin. But still I found something missing in this movie. Bill Sikes is not so scary as Oliver Reed was.One day If I happen to become a Director...I will make Oliver Twist...my fascination continues...

Crows in Office !!

You meet different kind of ppl in your working place. Some gud,some bad...some very good..some all shit..These ppl who are very good, whom you like..you love...with whom u make a very gud frndship..will be there till your end.Others move past you as one passing cloud.
This blog is all abt the last category..People whom I think..ALL SHITS !!
I always wonder abt these ppl. They are of completly diff. character. Entry level, you will have al possible leaders in your team.team leader,module leader,cubicle leader,project leader,group leader....ooo...soooo many leaders. You will be under these guys.The last category ppl, we can give them a nickname..hmm..CROWS ?? ok gud crows...we will call them crows.Team member to Group Leader...this is the source and destination.Now how you will go from source to destination??Real Talent and Fake talent...these two are the vehicles you are going to use to reach the destination.
These Crows are always very sharp. They know wats goin on around the project. They always make themselves visible by often crowing..(my slang for the sound of crow :-) )..werever you turn you can see them. Their relation with the so called higher level leaders will be more close. The boss will tell one so called Joke..Oh my God !! You just cant laugh even if you are given a crore !! , but still these crows will laugh like anything. It will surprise both the teller and laugher, why I told and Why I laughed ....but still this one laugh with your boss will always land you in a seat higher than ur peers. Whenever the boss say yes.. these crows will say yes..no for no.These crows doesnt have self dignity and their mind is always crooked. They talk one in front of you and something else on your back.
But Surprising thing is... these crows are the ones which will fly to the top without touching the middle branches. They are the ones, who reach the destination without travelling in the main road, instead they take the shortcuts.The Shortcuts.....these roads...very short..no obstacles..no pain..just you have to give up ur dignity and self respect.
This case surprises me and sometime makes me anger than ever.Is it the real scenario in all the offices...are there ppl who are made scapegoats for these crows??
The world will never change. As we move on from one generation to other, certain things always we leave behind such that the coming generation will pick up and take it along. Is this CURSE one among them??
Is it always you have to lick somebody's shoes to make your shoes shining??
Just one soul cant change this thing..One guy's shout will always go unheard..
