It was known that Indian Currency Appreciation, has caused hues and cries all across the country, from IT ( Saturday work plan), to the Textile Industries, (Trippur 1000s lose their job). Almost all industries that has a revenue based on Exports were affected due to this reason. On the first sight, It appears that India was going down. But However, its really, really hard to accept that these were the symptoms of rapid growth of India compared to other world countries.

Manmohan Singh’s Speech (dated 19/12/2007) quite motivative, and make us to look forward.

“Our policy must be tuned [in] to sustain nine per cent growth even if world growth slows down and global food and fuel prices continue to remain under pressure. India should have the ambition and the courage to sustain the current acceleration of growth no matter what happens globally. Our domestic economy can sustain such a growth process but we will need to pursue policies that can sustain growth. While India must remain alert to trends in the global economy, we must also recognise that the world is looking at India as a new engine of growth. If our economy continues to grow despite a global slowdown, we will be able to lift millions of our people from poverty and generate employment for our youth,” Dr. Singh said.

Before watching the movie “The Last Legion”, I was in a dilemma whether I have to watch the movie or not. Its because of my unknown dizziness that builds up while watching this genre of Movies.Even for the most popular movies like braveheart, I was never been able to completely watch the movie.

But this sluggishness was not there, a day before, for the movie Elizabeth : the Golden Age. Its not that the movie is so good, Its just another average movie and it was all about the Virgin Queen Elizabeth ruled Britain on 1564. The movie was a unique experience in feeling the real effect of Dolby surround sound and the music was scored by the lady who was sitting next to me. Though I get irritated with those echoes, sad sounds that she made for each twists and turns of movie (twists were absolutely dumb), it adds beauty to movie watching experience.

Not only the background music, that makes me sit till the end of the movie, the real reason is that I was in a Cinemas. Guys, Its not like in DVD, where if you get bored, you can switch it off & play it sometimes later.

So, Fancied by the Elizabeth movie, I have decided to watch the Last Legion.
The movie takes us back to 564 AD, but the director was not successful in making the movie historically consistent. The Movie has become a complete fiction that connects the hereditary of Roman Empire with the Beginning of British Empire.
i.e., The story says that the last king of Rome, went to Brittania and founds a new empire.
The story was simple. But to tell this story, we need a Hero and Heroin. Hero is obviously we can guess, the commander of Roman Empire and the Heroin is from India, Mira (Aishwarya Rai). The Mira is (just ABCD) that she introduce herself as she was an kalari payattu expert(Seventh Grade) from Kerala, South India

I have to appreciate that the director has put the fact that Kalari payattu , the famous Martial Arts that is practised in the regions of Kerala from those olden days.
but both the terms, “Kerala” & “India” were part of 20th century and no worries, its just a fictional addition to the movie. The movie uses usual commercial formula of a normal movie and so, there was lots of holes in the screenplay.

The Final Verdict is that there was no real substance in the movie and also, its true that the movie is good for one who has never watched any history based movies.

For the Last 22 years, I was under the conspiracy that, Hindhi is the National Language of India. Just 4 days back I came to know that India doesn’t have National Language.

I felt ashamed. How come I was not sure of this small fact?.

Thank God.. Its not only me, my friends too. They were also under the thought that Hindhi is the Raastra Bhasha of India.. I felt very happy.. Because now I was a better Indian than them..

Also, I can safely conclude, more than half the population of India were under this conspiracy. Come On, India.

I dont know who has first imprinted this thought in my Mind.

When I was doing first year in College(Tamil Nadu), we went to NCC Naval Camp to Lonavala(Maharashtra). Most of us, dont know Hindhi. At that time, we were offended by Naval Person ( I dont remember his name / cadet) . He asked “Are you all Indians?”. He added that “Hindhi is the National language of India. so every Indian should know it.”

I felt offended. but I never gave thought over it at that time.

But Now, Its was really surprising for me to hear that India never had a National Language. This explains How India give importance to its each of its constituent languages. Long Live India…

If you also under this conspiracy.. Cheers Mate.. just give your comments.

Recently, United Nation has asked India to nominate a language for its official usage. This shows that India was becoming super power. But India was not in a position to suggest one language.
