1. Looser Ajay –could not get his lady love, could not arrive anywhere in life – remained in financial crunch all his life. was it because of loss of love? would ash have made any difference? Well they had been friends for 8 years – if he loved her and wanted her, he should have no...t left any stone unturned to arrive somewhere in life and win his lady love. No parent would ever give his daughter away to an unemployed aimless man. Since Ash is shown here as an uneducated village belle – even she could not positively counsel & encourage and stand by him. She was more interested to go and watch an Adult movie with him and was keen on seducing him by changing in front of him with just a net curtain drawn..she even asked him to help him button her shirt (kameez) button ! 2. Looser Ajay’s friend – in spite of having all the luxuries in life, was leading his life with a wife who never loved him but was living under the same roof with him as a compromise…she was acting all the 24 hours ie. 3. Looser Ash’s husband – a cheat, liar, fraud, showy rolling stone who gathered no moss in life….or gathered volatile moss which vanished like the RAM memory. 4. Looser Men – old & young : the pile up of old wooden furniture and the eventual dirt accumulated in Ash’s drawing room showed that India still is made to co-exist with age old superstitions & rituals etc. which has no relevance in the present time and is just occupying unnecessary space in Mother India’s hard disc…should we not shift+delete it dear Indians? As far as Indian women are concerned, they are silently gulping down poison ,still illiterate & romantically inclined, seeking security from men when men have failed them in more than one ways – as stated above. Even when she is supposedly educated, still she is compromising (refer AFW’s character – a decent educated compromising wife with all the modernRead More

A touching scene : after eating the grub that ash bought from outside, ajay gets up to go to the toilet to wash hands but is quickly stopped by ash and ash says that in big hotels one uses finger bowls – so she gets one bowl filled with water for him to wash his hands! And people who saw i...t said that it’s a remake of “Gift of Magi” ! is that all that they saw !! I must congratulate Director Ritoporno here for once at least…although I did not have a very high opinion about him before….his movies are way too slow moving. Gift of Magi – why? Because in the raincoat pocket, ash finds out about ajay’s need for money and tugs in her “possibly last piece of jewellery” and ajay , in the meanwhile, after hearing the shocking revelations from the land lord and later, checking the scenario himself, pays the rent for 3 months ie. Rs. 12,000/- that he had collected for himself for the business and requests the landlord not to throw her out of the house. One more aspect that came out here was the fact that even ajay lied about – having a secretary, being a TV serial director, having a flat with marble floor etc…(he was speedily learning the ways of the world ) shows that maximum people in India (esp. west Bengal) just dream but do not have the capacity to manifest their dreams – very few of them succeed – and then they go and settle abroad –as they cannot stand the sight of dirty open drains, people pissing and spitting all over , lazy, un-smart, uncouth ,loser people with severe attitude problem. SO this also shows that ajay could not arrive anywhere in life and the fact that even if he had got married to ash, she would have been on more or less the same boat …as far as physical luxuries and comfort is concerned ! so this movie showed that men are losers in more than one ways. 1. Looser Ajay –could not get his lady love, could not arrive anywhere in life – reRead More

1. its dark inside the house coz’ hey have not been paying the electricity bill . they have not paid the house rent for over 12 months now. Husband is a fraud – was working when he got married but since he is basically a showy cheat & liar, company kicks him out every time. 2. the o...ld furniture is basically a godown to film/serial shooting and does not belong to them. 3. a battery operated bell is what they use. Husband comes home late , drunk every night and wife Ash opens the door. They live hand to mouth! 4. The stranger is actually the land lord who thought that ash has sub let-ed his house and is earning money by sub letting space! He then takes Ajay to show the toilet condition which is pathetic – moss smitten walls, broken soap cakes & case and dirty toilet (a sight very very common in kolkata – the people do not believe in living in clean conditions – they spit, piss just about anywhere – and have zero civic sense). Continued in comments… Ajay then sees inside the rooms and the scene is heart wrenching! dirty, broken utensils, unused toaster, cockroaches in kitchen drawers – lungi hanging, dust smitten & dirty bedroom! Here is where I equated the life of Ash as Mother India’s status – just This – she has everything for the outer world to see (drawing room) but nothing for her own self – as her true lovers (ajay kinds) are confused, unconfident (in bengal they are unconfident coz’ of lack of spoken English) basically failure and people who have taken her responsibility (ash’s husband) is a fraud, cheat, drunkard and liar – marketing India falsely..and teaching Indians to lie just about everything – living in the world of make belief – films, serials and advertisements- which are windows to the nation show absolute nonsense and is miles away from reality & truth!

Its so tru. all the things which you have bought with your money, basically means that part of your energy is allocated to that thing. now , if you do not use that thing but is just lying in one corner of the room and not being utilized..then well somewhere your energy levels also get trapped...an...d in fact it starts showing in your life - psychological probs etc. i have done both Reiki Level I and II , where it is told that every object vibrates to a certain frequency - thats Physics as well - well now there is a character of the virbration as well - Positive or negative. now it depends totally on you what you want to attract towards yourself. positive and good qualities or negative and bad ones. more on this subject later.Read More
