The Title:-

The title of the blog (write of whats' left) is taken from the name of the newsletter, a group of students in Pune have brought out, as part of the Young Human Rights Defenders Program, which is a forum for sensitizing the minds and bodies of the youth to issues of Human Rights, and to there on enable these youths to become peer educators and spread the understanding amongst us.

A little apologetically yet unexcuseably I've simply picked up the newsletter to be the title of my blog, but the point it makes is what allows me to justify it to a certain extent. The title beautifully exhibits some perceptions and issues i closely relate with. The confused,inquisitive and complex meandering between the extremes of ideology (from the right to the left and everything in between) has been a recurring feature of attempts to be self analytical, self critical and self definitive, these past few years. The title again brilliantly puts forward the blatant, unrestricted, grotesque monopolized and manipulated world of the media, where indipendent, honest and unmanipulated voices have lost any visible physical, abstract or non commercialised space (in any form) for its use as a means of expression. We write of whats' left...........................

Again my apologies to those who rightly deserve the first use of the title but kudos to whoever came up with it............

the way i look it at- something is better than nothing. rather make a commercial movie that gets pseudo mass appeal than make nothing on the subject at all. all these movies- yuva,rdb, hazaaron and dev took a chance of not being commercially successful, but they got the point across. hopefully... u should read the rdb reviews online. the "revenge" drama has them all in grips. the youth took notice of it more than any other movie of its genre.
