The Hero Unforgettable's Birthday...Janamdin Divas!

Some heroes can't be forgotten. Alive in all pure hearts. Remembering once again on March 15th.

Happy Birthday to the Venus of Indian cinema...

जन्मदिन मुबारक मधु बाला
सालगिरह की हार्दिक शुभकामनायें


14th February was the day, the one who was christened the Venus of Indian cinema was born. Yes, Madhu Bala was born on the day that celebrates love though it was not celebrated India during those days.

Her beauty and acting skills were immense but her life was tragic. She still lives in the hearts of many fans, well-wishers and rule their hearts.

As a recap, here's Babetude's tribute to this ethereal beauty who got her looks as a gift from nature,unlike most showbiz woman of today...Some are right when they say- God doesn't make her kind any more!

Happy Indian Republic Day

"No society can possibly be built on a denial of individual freedom."

Gandhiji

Happy Indian Republic Day to all Indians and those who live outside of the country like myself.

May the country uphold more values such peace, prosperity, justice, equality et al.

An appropriate poem for a day like this---
Where The Mind Is Without Fear
by Rabindranath Tagore
Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high
Where knowledge is free
Where the world has not been broken up into fragments
By narrow domestic walls
Where words come out from the depth of truth
Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection
Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way
Into the dreary desert sand of dead habit
Where the mind is led forward by thee
Into ever-widening thought and action
Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

Home BIRTHDAY cake for peace, sweetness & love:)

Happy 2012 - Auld Lang Syne & remembering all things sweet 'n' nice from the year gone by...

Happy 2012...

A favorite public figure from the year gone by for Babteude is. Natalie Portman( like always:. An Oscar in February, and then beautiful blessed Aleph in June, 2011. A fantastic actress, a blessed woman. An ideal/ a dream girl/girl crush/older sis figure to look up to, for many:):) Keep smiling in 2012 and for many more years after...







Wishing for great health, happiness,joy, peace, love, prosperity, beautiful baby and productive/ constructive/ productive work for me too! As well as for my loved ones and the good people of the world!

जब राखी ने लगायी थी उस उप्स्तार्ट की वात! ( When Rakhee Sawant exposed the upstart K K Torquette)

This is one of the best moments coming out of B town in the year that's coming to a close. The wise ones who know Hindi cinema lament the fact that most stuff coming out of the industry, right now, is just not worth it and is senseless entertainment.
Babetude has been lamenting for the longest while now!

And someone sarcastic recently said on Face Book that even with all the nostalgia, in current B'wood it is just 1 good movie in many hundreds that are worth watching and those who don't agree either have a low IQ or just have very bad taste...

Anyone who knows who the upstart(उप्स्तार्ट) of B'wood right now, will enjoy this video. Those who don't, can watch this video for more info and fun( of course the ones who understand Hindi...

Well, the subject of this conversation herself is a so called star in Hindi films and even after 10 years and actually much older in age, can't speak in Hindi...So guess she herself would have never read the topic of this title herself or mustn't have understood this video which came out 10 months ago. LOL.

This lady, the subject of the interview, Rakhi Sawant is no star but rather an item girl( dancer) and a starlet, but one who's known for her honesty and frank ways...


Let's hope B'wood sees better days in the coming year and beyond with quality cinema, don't remain a subject of ridicule worldwide, starting with not non-actors like the ones talked about in the video going out and banned. The kind of image the likes of her are portraying on screen is indeed harmful for the society and something to worry about, as kids and young people tend to copy such people in media glare and use them as role models.

There are a few movies of quality and hopefully more like those will be made(quality over quantity please) and real good actors (some from the past as well) will thrive and come back.

P.S For some reason the youtube video became private, therefore Babetude is pasting the new link for now and will try to upload the video too.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H50IYi-pG1c Anyway, there are many more important things to do in life as 2011 comes to an end and hope for better days. So see you soon with another really important post.

Joy, peace and hope in the season of good cheer!

Merry Christmas everyone. Hoping that the season of good cheer will spread loads of peace, joy, love justice, and blessings in our homes and the world.
