Our Secondary Teachers : Initial Impact

One of the most scary days used to be the first day in the secondary section i.e Class V.  Kids of Tantia are promoted from Class IV to Class V i.e from Primary Section to Secondary . A complete different type of world. In other words , transition of Kids from the soft voices of Ms. Mitali, Ms. Mukkerji, Ms. Ghosh , Ms. Banerjee...........................to the rough rowdies of (UP and Bihar)'s great Pandey, Tiwari, Mishra , Singh, Choubey and Jha ji.  Some of the teachers were expert to engrave life long impact on new students of secondary. They used to be successfull in their very first week !! S K Bhattacharya was the first one to impact , his favourite words were

" yeh primary nahi , secondary hai "
" ab hum apna ghadi khol diya hai , es taraf ka koi ladka aaj maar kha jayega"
"Yooooooo , Yoooooooooo"
" ab dekho hum paanch ginega , aur kishori aake bolega , sir time ho gaya hai ..... " literally..... after counting five , kishori came on the first day and told ..... Sir, chod dijiye......... now what will be impact on the first day .

Second expert was K K Mishra ........I think he was the best to do private tuitions between class 5 and 6. His favourite dialogue was ..... " Wey bacche jo angreji ki kitaab nahi laye hain , wo khade ho jayen ... stand up". " Natak Karta hai " " Nautanki karta hai " . He always picked up one boy and throught out the year he would harrass him until he takes private tuitions from him. He was the first teacher who always objected to eat supari. " Pacchis baras taq supari nahi khani chahiye... jheebh moti ho jati hai , pacchis ke baad kha sakte hain "

The third one was " S N Pathak " what a personality ...........too tall for class V students... on the very first day he orated the story of Ramayana in Shudddh Hindi. On murmering in the class , his best dialogue I still remember " Jab Taq aapka aur hamara sambandh , madhurata ko chod , kathorta me parvivartit na ho , mere vichar se aap nahi sudhrenge" .

But they were genius ....... S  N Pathak was the most honest person to teach. He always completed his syllabus within time , with perfection and taking care of all the students without expectations. He always used to orate good moral stories before students and never praised himself like others. Even the least important things of the syllabus was taught by him with equal importance. Whenever I remember his teachings , I always praise him within myself.

Top Five recommendations of English Classic Movies

1. Grand Hotel
2. The Great Escape
3. Omar Mokhtar : Lion of the Desert
4. The Rear Window
5. Roman Holiday

All the great differenet type movie. Grant Hotel and Foreign Correspondent were released in 1940s but still they are much matured movies and can be compared with latest movies. The Great Escape is a movie on World War II and German Nazy Concentration camp , beautifully directed. Rope and Rear Window are Alfred Hitchcooks classics. The rear window is a restored picture. These movies were the inspiration for many international movies. However copied movies could not get much popularity like originals. Watch these movies , everybody will enjoy !!

Skyfall - Return of Bond' basisc

After Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace , it was thought that Bond may not return with his old gazettes , car and famous one liners. But in Skyfall , all the things which we missed in last two movies , came back and public are enjoying those . Daniel Craige , as usual , rough and handsome.
At the end of the movie bond comes and fire , return of Money penny , coming into the office of M, return of a young Q, Bond in his safe car firing like guns, My name is Bond , James Bond  , Bond with his gun and a small gazette and the music....te te te teeeeeeeee , te te....
If these things are not present in a Bond Movie .....Bond will be lost in Bourne series, Mission impossible or. ... others like....... these small things make Bond loveable among people........

The Message

The Message is a good Movie !! The movie is based upon the struggle of Prophet Mohammad and his disciples while establishing the foundations of Islam. Costumes and dialogues of the movie are phenomenal. Anthony Quin was only the renowned actor in the movie who got focus of director but not as a Hero. He had a very limited role. Producers encashed his popularity from Lawrence of Arabia , otherwise some other actor could also be placed in the role of Hamza ( played by Quin).  The film neither shows the picture nor any voice of prophet. I did not even imagine that , the film is based upon the life of Prophet Mohammad, I thought its just like Lawrence of Arabia and Lion of the Desert.  Muslims would like this movie and also one has to acknowledge that there is a great link between Islam and Christianity. The directors have given this message nicely. The words from Prophet narrated by his adopted son are divine . Those words can change anybody's life.

Saving Private Ryan

Steven Spielberg is highly inspired by Hollywood Classics. In Childhood and young days , he saw classic movies and now he produces/ directs movies giving tribute to old classic movies. Saving Private Ryan is world war II movie and a great work of Tom Hanks and Spielberg. The starting scene of the movie i.e. soldiers arriving at sea coast is inspired by Classic " The Longest day".  The first 27 minutes of the movie does not let anybody to take breathe. Gun and bomb battle between Americans and Germans is the main attraction in the movie. In one of the sequences, american soldiers attacked german bunkers by fire , German soldiers came out of fire , but somebody says " Don't shoot them, let them burn"... truly the scenes are terrific and full of violence. Blood , wounds , crying et.c...are extensively shown by Spielberg.

In another part , Tom Hanks sent on an impossible mission to search a person whose all brothers killed in teh war. Private Ryan Part was played by Matt Damon. Not a very strong character !! however, it gave him a good break. Through out the movie, Spielberg presented the war between Germans and American during tough times. How Soldiers are suffereed during war , and how people lose their brothers , kins , and freinds.  I did not enjoy the movie much , however it was a big hit and people says it was a great movie.

Sleepless in Seattle and An Affair to remember

Tom Hanks never did a bad movie !! He is the actor who can let anybody inspire from his all movies. One of the most accomplished actors of Hollywood.  He is not as charming as Tom Cruise , not as bold as Daniel Craig , not a heartthrobe like Richard Gere or Russell crowe , but he has a separate place in hollywood cinemas. That's why he is still one of  the favourites of Steven Spielberg and other directors.

I am not going to comment upon the story of Sleepless in Seattle , I discuss some thoughts on the movie , what I saw different. A small boy searching for a wife for his father --- great funny idea, he reached from Seattle to NY to search for a lady who wrote a letter to boy's father after getting impressed from the story of Tom Hanks over a radio about his deceased wife. She believes ,how much love is still existing in his heart. Even though she is engaged , she decided to move to another person whom she had a glimpse only. Also , one of the main interesting thing is , the movie gives a lead to watch a hollywood classic " An Affair to Remember " caste by great CARY GRANT.  Meg Ryan met Tom Hanks with his son on the top of Empire Building at NY ,the sequence of the movie was taken from An Affair to remember. When they met at Empire Building , the background music sounds like an old classic black and white movie of Hollywood.  Also , throughout the movie Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks did not meet each other except in a scene of seconds in which they did not even talk. Hence both actors got independent status in the movie and got an opportunity to work at best !! Nice movie to watch
