Why did they forget Raghav

All right, reading this I was once again afraid that the cheap bastards of  Bollywood were once again reading my thoughts , but then a little bit of googling brought me to this, which means that atleast that the team was inspired by real events and were not messing around with my awesome brain.

Which brings me to the point, if you have to make a film about serial killers why not directly go to the most bizarre i.e. Raghav. Better known as Aakda maar (or Kanpati mar, according to overlord in the comment), he went on a rampage in 60's mostly killing poor slum dwellers. Finally, he was apprehended on Ganesh Visarjan, but was sentenced to life imprisonment as he was found mentally unfit (I believe he claimed that Surya commanded him to murder). This incidentally was one of my many ideas for a film. And now, it is gone.

PS. Why stop at Stoneman though, what about kaccha baniyan gang  ?

Update: Hell, why should only Bollywood benefit from my awesomeness, even Hollywood deserves some benefaction. Here is one, film on Duke Lacrosse controversy .

Another Update:  There is an idea for a Facebook Application, "Which famous serial killer are you". Seriously these stupid applications are, well, killing.

Yet Another Update: Let me confess here, I think Hannibal as enacted by Anthony Hopkins is kind of overrated.

Confession

My guilty pleasure is to go to the brown site and watch people squabble over "South Asian/Desi" vs "Indian".

Confessions

1. At risk of horrifying some of you, I have to admit that I haven never watched Seinfeld before, and while I have just begun watching it, I *gasp* prefer general optimism of Friends over nihilism of Seinfeld.

2. I haven't seen Gone with the wind, or Casablanca, even though I have them on my hard disk since last year. Meanwhile I have gone and seen complete season of The Sarah Connor Chronicles. I don't regret it either.

3. I was underwhelmed with Shawshank Redemption. Still it was better than in case of Forrest Gump, which I found annoyingly cloying. Also Tom Hanks looks kind of retarded.

Confession

(Previous confessions [1], [2])

Dear readers,

It is terrible, but I have to confess. You may remember the days when WWF (now WWE) used to be popular among kids. That is excluding myself. I hated it, and what I hated even more was those stupid trading cards and students trading them. So, driven by pique, I started informing the teachers, resulting in confiscation and punishment of students, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I was a snitch. I am sorry.

Coming out of closet......

This is a confession. I am different, have always been like that. It is only with great resolve that I am coming out of closet.

The realization that I was different, not normal, not with the crowd dawned very early when I was just a kid. People, including friends and relatives had reaction to my preference (which was far from common) ranging from amusement to suspicion and sometimes downright negativity.

As I grew up and realized the reason for the reactions, I became bewildered. How can I be blamed for something over which I had no control. But blamed I was, and much worse.
Even my mother was blamed for my abnormality. She took the blame and supported me, even though it was a strain but she did not let my lifestyle choice come in way of her love.

I grew up insecure and lonely being ridiculed and jeered at every step, not for what I had done, but for what I was.
Friends and relatives considered it normal interrogating a vulnerable child about why the way I was. Others asked why I was not ashamed of being a deviant, then there were others who claimed that just because this was not the "right" way I must be "crooked " and therefore to be avoided at all cost.

My stay at my ulma mater wasn't any better. Despite all the hype, alumni of my institution can be very insensitive.
For the four years I lived there, I was the "butt" of jokes and most abused toilet humour.
My professional life is more or less same, I am considered an oddity, someone who is not human.

But still even after being subjected to indignities and ridicule, I have never hidden my identity. I am what I am, and prejudice of ignorant mass can not change what I consider is right. It did however change some of my friends, one of my best friends VNS, who used to be different like me, was forced to give up his alternative lifestyle and be normal, few others hide for fear of retribution and injustice.
Every religion, every society in all the times have wronged and vilified us.
Ans yet noone hears our plight. We have been considered sinister and work of devil.

This is going to change !

On this blog, today I proudly proclaim that I am a south paw, and that is what I remain come what may.

My confession

I think it is time to come out of closet.

I think that Godfather (the movie) is boring and a sarkari documentary compared to Godfather (the novel).

I also think that Marlon Brando is a mumbling idiot in the movie.

Also Al Pachino resembles the puppy I lost.
