Death In Gaza

Watched "Death In Gaza" few days back. Its a documentary about a western film maker James Miller who was killed by Israelis in Rafah.

Rafah is in the southern Gaza strip (Palestine) and bordering Egypt, so there is loads of arms being smuggled into Palestine for the Hizbullah militia who are fighting against the Israelis. The Palestinian government doesn't stop Hizbullah as they are fighting the gorilla war against Israeli army. Palestinian government thinks its a war against oppression and imperialistic US and Israel.

Initially the documentary was to be made keeping in mind the kids of Palestine. What they want to do today? Why the kids are ready to die today for the country? Why do they all want to become martyrs? Why they think being a martyr is more than anything today? How the kids help Hizbullah in the gorilla war? But the movie ends when James Miller is shot by a Israeli bullet (not by accident I say).

Its a very thought provoking and a very sad movie.

The movie shows how Israeli army tries to flush out the militants from the hideouts and during the shootings kids are killed. Focuses on how mothers are crying in front of their 10 year sons to not talk about being martyrs. Focuses on how kids play games keeping in mind that the Israelis are bastards and they should be killed.



I always had a soft corner for Israel because they have been struggling since dark ages. But after this movie I think Israelis are getting a treat of the fruit of hatred they are growing in small towns of Gaza. Don't know - cant say, but Israel is an imperialistic country which is trying to bring pain to the next generation of kids in Palestine.

Convert Videos for Your IPod

Here is the Print Screen of my I-Tunes. Well the funda was that I had been trying to get conversion toools all across the internet and didnt find one. Ok Ok I found a lot but non was free. Every tool said I need to pay some $30.50 or more. Some shit like that.

I just searched the Apple site and wolllllaaaa, I saw the new I-Tunes. Say hello to I tunes 7.0.2. Now this has got a lot of additional features. One of them was which I had been looking for. There is a conversion tool, with which I can convert all the videos in mov, mpeg, 3gp, wmv, wav, vob, 3gp, asf format to mp4 format. Check out my I Tunes. :-) Today I am a happy man.

There is a flaw. The conversion thing is very slow. Like a 5 minute .mpeg video takes some 50 minutes to convert into .mp4 format. Below is the print screen of the conversion happening in I-Tunes. Today I am a happy man.

Just wanted to know if we can download some videos on ITunes in India. When I connect to ITunes Store, they show some Apple Japan page. If anyone has any idea please do let me know. Till then conversion (or rather slow conversion) zindabad !!!

Read The Paper, Don't See News on TV

I am pissed. I am fucking pissed.

I watch shit on TV. Infact there was shit on TV for ages, just that I didnt see. I used to watch sports. I started watching a thing on TV called News Channels. Believe me they show shit on TV. I mean these news channels show god damn anything.

ZEE NEWS

Sa Re Ga Ma reality show proceedings. TV reporter : We have reached Chuntu's house. Chintu is going to sing today. Chintu's mom is praying. We all should pray. If you want to vote for chintu then please SMS CHN to 2525. Lets all pray for Chintu.

2 questions. Why the fuck is this channel not showing news? Who the fuck is interested in this reality show? India????

Aaj Tak
This fuck all news channel is showing Big Boss reality show proceedings. Ok Big Boss is some shit show where some shit losers are kept in a house for 3 months and then every week someone is kicked out. Its like the reality show in europe, called Big Brother. Big Brother is nothing but full of sex and it comes live on TV.

People my concern is not with Aaj Tak, but with news channels showing whats happening in Big Boss. There is a bar dancer, a bihari actor, etc, who the fuck is concerned with what is happening to them in a house?? There are bigger things happening in India.

Star News
They show who is the champion in a laughter show on Star TV. They show for 72 hours live telecast of a kid who fell in a hole. Don't make a huge issue out of nothing. To be true why cant they go into the deep villages and find out why farmers are dying in Vidharbha, Andhra, Tamil Nadu??? Is it because of drought or because of bastard money lenders?? Please find some news which is of national concern.

This is not what we all want. I dont want my kids or my younger brothers and sisters to see this shit on TV. I would want to watch some comedy or some sports thing on TV. But yes there are some duffers who want to see this. So go see.

My deepest concern is that news channels should show news and not whats happening on ZEE TV or Sony TV. I think the next thing could be Star News showing what happening in "Kyun Ki Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi!!!!"

Me and my friend were talking sometime back and she said Aaj Tak was showing something called as "Naadan Don". It was a story about some kid in Gujrat, who ran away from school because he didnt do homework and created a scene of getting kidnapped. Who was blamed?? The Director of Don and SRK. I think I would first slap the reporter, then the editor of Aaj Tak who made this story and secondly that kids father. Reporter was slapped because he brought this news, editor was slapped because he said "Ok this can be shown on national TV" and the father because he is is not a good father. I am sure the kid was taken to the movie by his dad and also sure that the dad doesnt know what are the kids subjects this year.

So all said and done I just want to say is "PLEASE SHOW NEWS ON NEWS CHANNELS!!" and there is a humble request please don't show Dharmender commercials; where he says "Jeevan Sariya. Malik Ki Meher! Meri Mohar"

Jai Raam Ji Ki

Indians Finished 6th in a pool of 6 Teams

We lost 6-1 to Holland in the final league match in world cup hockey. With this, India did the worst performance in the world cup ever. Losing all its matches and drawing one match against the minows South Africa.

Saaauttttttthhh Africaaaaaaaa??? We drew with South Africa?? They play rugby not field hockey. We are hockey world leaders. How can we draw with them??? My dad would curse everyone in nthe team and the coach and the IHF mother fucking chief KPS Gill. Well dad we were never a great team in modern hockey.

Ok we won 8 olympics golds so what??? We didnt win anything once the modern hockey started. We didnt win a single champion's trophy, neither the world cup. So there is so problem with the way we play our hockey. Simple. I can see that.

This is how we can make India win the champion's trophy. Just shut up and listen KP S Gill. Start hockey league. Not PHL its a joke. Have 3 leagues, like league 1, league 2, league 3. Every league has 10 teams. Develop clubs and small stadiums with 1000 seating capacity for the teams with the help of corporates. Start the league after diwali and end it in March. Its not very hot in India during that period and cricket is played during that period. If you want to popularise the game play it during the cricket season and compete with it.

The teams must travel to the club like in European Leagues. Away game and home game. Involve some airlines in this. The airlines might not need to spend a penny on advertising. Hockey is still popular enough a sport that people can follow it.

Today we do have some existing clubs and teams. Air India has a great team, so ask Air India to make a turf for the team. Air India is fucking rich enough to have three teams. Show the players some money. Say that the prize is 10 Crores for league 1, League 2 it can be 7.5 crores and league 3 it can be 5 crores. Clubs of football like East Bengal and Mohun Bagan also have hockey teams today, they also can set up turfs for the club if they need to participate in the tournament. The clubs can sell the merchandise and all that. Small tournaments can happen round the year. Popularise the game. Bring money into it. Once the money comes in you can have more foreign players coming in. More exposure to Indian players. Clubs can have a free hand which player to buy and which player to sell, who is the coach. Come on Gill do something. Since the day you have been the Indian Hockey Chief we havent won a single tournament at world level. Our best performance in Champion's trophy has been 3rd in 1983. If you cant do anything for the show you are running you need not run the show. Believe me I can do a better job.

Today every Indian player should be motivated to play rather than just stay on the field. One of the former Indian captains, Ashok Kumar, said, "It just did not appear as if the team had gone there to play seriously. We were let down because of a lack of proper game plan and uncertainty in the team." When we go in the field we dont have proper game plans because there is no one in India who has played on truf since childhood. But we have great coaches across the globe who can help us. Believe me Indian very never good in modern hockey.

We should first stop blowing trumpets of 8 olympics golds because non were won in the modern era. (ok 1980 gold was in modern era but there were teams like Cuba, Nigeria, etc etc) The game has taken a 180 degree turn.

We should look towards hockey as a country which is trying to learn and not like arrogant bastards. Yes we still have a great pool of great players but were are no where compared to the great three, Australia, Germany and Netherlands. We should first get a decent coach and then, try to win Champions trophy in next 3 years. If we can achieve that then we are on the right track. And please Mr Gill give some meat to the players, they look like they are not fed. Feed the poor players. Give them someone who can say, "this is nutritious diet, dont eat this, eat this, etc etc"

Inter IIT is being held in IIT Guwahati this year and no one knows the status of the hockey field there. If the university games are not taken seriously, we can never play hockey seriously either.

We Need a Draw

India starts its campaign for the Hockey Worldcup today. First Match is with Germany at 7.00 PM today. they are shwoing it live on TEN SPORTS.

India have a very good team but they are without their ace penalty corner specialist Sandeep Singh. We still are good though.

Germany has ben doing good lately but we have defeated them in recent history. If India is able to draw with Germany and Netherlands we are through to the Semifinals. We need to atleast draw with Germany today. Come On guys.

2006-09-06. 15:30 (German Time) versus Germany
2006-09-07. 14:00 (German Time) versus England
2006-09-09. 13:00 (German Time) versus South Africa
2006-09-11. 13:00 (German Time) versus Korea
2006-09-11. 13:00 (German Time) versus Netherlands

We can defeat England, South Africa and Korea pretty easily. We need to concentrate for the first 15 minutues really hard and then Germans will buckle under pressure. We have great defence and mid field. Please Mr. Gaganajit dont miss chances this time. Just get into the "D BOX" and hit. rest all is taken care. Lot depends on today's game. Come On India.

Indians Training in the Stadium

Bismillah-E-Rehman-E-Rahim, Baba Nanak Sukh Raakha, etc etc are there. Just score goals.

Today's match is a difficult one, but if we can draw this match, then it is downhill till the match against Netherlands. And may be we can peek till we play our match against the Dutch.

All the best guys!!! Chak Do Fatte!!!!!
