Innovative Film City
It’s a Film City situated around 28 kms from Bangalore in a place called Bidadi. This film city includes attractions like an Amusement park, Arcade Playing Centre, Mirror Maze and also involves big attractions like Ripley’s Believe It Or Not, Louis Tussad’s Wax Museum and a 4 Dimensional Movie.
Your budget needs to be a minimum of around Rs.600 excluding your transportation cost. You can reach this place using the public bus facility or on own transport.
Me and my friend went to the film city on Oct 4 2008. We had a pretty enjoyable ride to the place since the road is pretty well maintained (It’s a rarity to find well maintained roads in Bangalore). We reached there around 11.30 and then started clicking some photos of the entrance of the film city. Going towards the ticket counter to get an entrance for ourselves, we were approached by some helpers who gave us a brief description on what is where and how much would it cost. The best part of the film city is that it’s not a necessity to visit all the parts of the place. If wanted we could go to which ever parts we wanted and pay on the spot for the entrance. We saved up some cash there since we didn’t go for the Dino World, Water Park and the Kids play area. Yea sure, you’d get a discounted entrance if you’d buy a ticket for Rs.699 for everything in the place.
We both bought the entrance ticket for Rs.50 each and then a ticket for our camera which costed us Rs.100. Once entering we passed by a huge street with awesome architectural designs and this street was called the MAIN STREET.
Our next stop was the mirror maze. This is amazing maze, which will entertain you. Once you enter and walk a few meters you’ll bang into a mirror which you would’nt know unless your hands stretched out straight. And the main aim of going into the maze is to get out of it which is also the biggest problem as the whole place look the same. So I guess you understand what I mean. It’s pretty small but we were almost stuck for about half an hour and unknowingly made it back to the entrance more than twice.
After exiting the Maze, we were dizzy, still in the same world as the maze and made our way to our ticket counter were we bought ourselves a ticket for the Louis Tussad’s Musuem and Mini Golf which cost us Rs.50 each.
Our next stop was the Louis Tussad’s Wax Museum. The museum had a variety of personalities from different part of the continents like there was Mahatma Gandhi, Angelina Jolie, Elvis, Nelson Mandela, Walt Disney and many other famous personalities. There were more than we’d expected so it took quite sometime to go through the whole place.
After exiting the museum, we headed towards the mini golf. The instructor gave a bit of a description of how it works and how we should approach it after which we were on the course. The course was awesome fun since it was located in a somewhat up and down region, so most of the time we hit the ball, it mostly came back down and some of the hole’s were located near fountains and Ashwin made it in there twice. So we had a good laugh while playing the whole course which was a 18 hole course.
Our next stop was the 4 Dimensional Movie. We both were animation students and our main reason to see the film was to find out how the 4 dimension worked. It was costly (Rs.100) but the film was very neat and nice. It really entertained us along with the common audience. I won’t break the suspense and tell you what the 4th dimension. It is for you to find out. Coming out, we looked around the arcade games. Speaking about these games, their screens are awesomely huge and if you enjoy arcade games, you’ll thrive in this condition.
After a look at these games, we headed of to the food court. The food court has a lot of variety, but the major problem here is that, the food isn’t good and another problem is that you can’t sneak in outside food in. They got tight security at the entrance. Once the eating was over, we walked around the place, looking at some dance competition and then singing and other of the attraction like caricature. After which we headed to the exit and then back home.
Over all I would say that the place is fun to be and you’ll enjoy the whole trip for sure. Unfortunate for us that we didn’t catch the Ripley’s attraction since it was closed, but still enjoyed the trip a lot.

Welcome to Sajjanpur
Welcome to Sajjanpur, a film by Shyam Benegal, is one of those films which challenges the bollywood style of film making where unbelievable and unimaginable events take place.
This film is a comedy which will make you laugh out your hearts. Unlike bollywood movies, every Indian can some or the other way relate to leastwise one character or an event that takes place in the film and that's why the film would be very much liked. A very down to earth, this is a must watch if you have come from a village and now become a big person.
The movie was more character based and not a story based. All the actors in the film have played a role more than they were expected and that's why the film is absolutely splendid. The only thing that wasn't required in the film, I felt was the song sequence which could have been easily done away with.
A very down to earth, this is a must watch if you have come from a village and now become a big person. Enjoy.
P.S: You got to understand hindi properly before watching the movie

Mumbai Meri Jaan
Mumbai Meri Jaan is an amazing movie. Words can't the movie. It talk's about how the July 11th train blasts in Mumbai affected different people in different ways.
The acting in simply inexpressibly good especially the main characters like Irfan Khan(who has very less dialogues in the film but still show brilliant visual language skills), Kay Kay Menon(amazingly done), Paresh Rawal(I acctualy felt like he was a police constable), Mahadevan and Soha Ali Khan.
The camera work also was awesomly done.
The story line is very heart touching and the acting acctually makes you feel very emotinal.
The only thing I din't like was the Visual effects they had given for the blast sequence which felt very fake.
The movie is a bit slow but it more than worth watching. If you are a film lover and an Indian by heart then you would'nt miss such an movie.

Why are Indian Athletes against cricket in Olympics?
While selling of the old newspapers in the afternoon, I came across this article which had many Indian Athletes against cricket entering the Olympics.
Why shouldn’t be the cricket be in the Olympics?
The replies from these athletes were that if cricket entered into the Olympics then their sport will be even more deteriorated.
I don’t understand how is it going to help these athletes who go to the Olympics, try their level best and still don’t find place in the medals list, have a problem with or without cricket being in the Olympics.
Why is that they only think about it from the Indian Community point of view.
What about the other cricket loving nations? Don’t the cricketers from different nations want to be a part of the biggest ever and most prestigious sport and games event?
And even if you take it from the Indian Community context also, the government is giving the same amount of support to each and every sport. It is the BCCI, which is the Indian Cricket Board, which is taking the initiative to flourish the sport. And up till the achievement of the World Cup in 1983, Cricket in
Because of its increase of popularity in the nation, do the athletes think that if cricket enters into the Olympics it would lower their status in the society?
I don’t think so.
