Kaala Akshar Bhains Barabar

The most innovative and hilarious literacy campaign I've ever seen! Check our J and L. I also like how V has been used to discourage 'immorality'.

What fun it would have been if we all had been taught our A B C's this way!


Received via email from Mawkish Rains and Pallavi.

The Ghajini Dilemma

I've been wondering. The protagonist in Ghajini, Sanjay Singhania suffers from short term amnesia. So every fifteen minutes, he forgets everything. Every morning when he wakes up, he has to remind himself that his girlfriend was killed and he relives the whole trauma everytime.



He has reminders like 'Find Ghajini. Kill him' written at random places. But how does he remember why Ghajini is to be killed? And why does he not balk at what must necessarily seem like a strange and cruel message to him, every time the reminder beeps? Surely, the morning's reminders about Kalpana being killed do not last him the day, to justify not being shocked by a reminder to kill someone.
