Electronic Fog

Electronic Fog
[Killer Fog]


Did you remember the recent bollywood film “Raj” or oldy “Woh Kaun thi” in both the films for hiding the spirit fog is used, this is the most common practice of movie makers to use the fog for suspense creation. We all are well familiar with this gaseous stage of water molecules with some other air pollutants forming an invisible wall and causing many road accidents especially in the winters. Sometimes this fog get mixed with some deadly elements like the black coal smokes or gases like sulphur dioxides which reacting with water vapors can form Sulphuric acid, such types of killer fogs observed at various places of the world like London [1952], Culham [1989] and Lagos, Nigeria [2005].

Since the decade’s mystery of Bermuda Triangle is challenging to quest of human beings though it is still behind the curtains, No body knows proper and suitable explanation for the elopement of ships and plans from this area from time to time. The probable answer to this is the electronic fog; a term given to malfunctioning of electronic and magnetic appliances above the earth surface by Rob MacGregor and Bruce Gernon in their book The Fog. According to reports Grenon with his father was flying over the Bahamas in his Bonanza A36 [as they were doing since 1967, and were used with flying conditions of Florida and Bahamas] went under a strength and deadly phenomenon on December 4, 1970. It was just over the 3 pm when they got the take-off order at the Andros town air port and soon were in the sky over the Bahamas, They saw a typical lenticular cloud over the ocean but strangely it was as low as 500 feet above the sea water, they were climbing at 1,000 feet per minute, soon they found [at 11,500 feet] when A 36 was speeding at maximum 195 miles per hour. It was breath holding for them that typical lenticular cloud has converted into abnormal shape forming a semicircle around them, the strange thing was that there were no lighting thunders only extraordinary bright white flash was illuminating surrounding area. Visibility was reduced to 4-5 miles from the 10 miles. This was happening with them after 27 minutes of flight near the Bimini Island. Soon they entered into narrow cloud tunnel [diameter about 200 feet] at the cautioning speed of 230 miles per hour. All the electronic and magnetic navigational instruments were malfunctioning. The compass was slowly spinning even as the airplane flew straight. There was no lighting or rain but visibility went down to about 2 miles and instead of blue sky, a dull, grayish white haze was on vision, preventing them from seeing ocean, the horizon or the sky, all this went for about three minutes. When they came out of breaking fog, they found themselves flying over Miami beach and watching clear blue sky all this forced them to land at Palm beach. Clock was ticking at 3:48 pm it means they have covered distance of about 250 miles in just 47 minutes instead of normal time of 75 minutes. They looked again and again to watches, might the time was wrapped during that gravitational force less situation within the cloud tunnel as during those three minutes they have traveled about 100 miles distance.

This time wrap might be the reason behind the vanishing of ships and planes in the area.

Silver Screen : Bollywood : Humour

Sunday FunDay: Silver Screen Humour

Almost each and every Indian youth is living with the dreaming about the Mumbai. Just think of city, with the largest slam of Asia, A city with Chor Bazar, A city that never sleeps and most important a city where you found life speeding at every minute. Does the Indian youth gone mad for dreaming all about this? No friends, surely not, there is yet another face of Mumbai, that makes it land of Magic, Land of realizing dreams, an already built foundation for constructing your success building, Yes Friends Mumbai is native home of Hindi Films.
Hindi films have played a significant role in the social life of India since from very begining in 1931, but as this is our Sunday: FunDay, so we will limit our self with just one aspect comedy. As I can recall all was started with "Chalati Ka Nam Gadi" a film in which all the three famous bengali brothers, Ashok kumar, Anupkumar and Kishorekumar acted,tunes of "Ek Ladaki Bhigi bhagi Si" and "Panch rupaiya barah Aana" are still alive in many minds. Comedy of kishore was at its best, though he later acted in other comedy films like the "Padosan" with Sunil Datta and Sayara banu, along with other comic legend of hindi films Mahmood. In fact Johny walker [ Kazi Badruddin] was the first person who got success as the comedian in Indian cinema, it was the height of his acting as a drunked person that people forget his original name and started calling him with famous whisky brand Johny walkar. His memory craved comic actions in the songs like " Jane Kanhan Mera Jigar Gaya Ji" and " Sar Jo Tera Chakaraye " forced script writers for a special role for him.
In the 60's Mahmood become the undisputed King of comedy of the silver screen, he has defined comedy in his own imitable style, "Hum Kale hai to kiya hua Dilwale" and "Mahbooba Mahbooba Jalade Mera Chulha" are the some of the famous songs with his comic acting. it is tragedy of the life that even the serious efforts of comic charatcers are seen with humour, this is what happen with Mahmood when he tried to awake people about deadly Polio by his Film "Kunwara Baap". With the emergence of Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachan comedy become side lined in the Hindi films, though in the interim Gol Maal, [Amol Palekar and Utpal Datta], was realised and Jagdip and Asrani have played some memorable roles, who forget the dialouges like " Miyan Hamara Nam Surama Bhopali...." or " Hum Angrajoon ke Jamane ke Jailor Hain "...... from Sholay, Even the Amitabh has also featured in the all time comedy hit Film "Chupke Chupke".
Any writing on silver screen humour will be treated incomplete if Bhawan Dada's name is not there, he was the person who had given a new meaning to bollywood comedy people still copy him and still marriage dances are based on the dancing steps shown by him in the "Bholi Surat Dil Ke Khote......".
Present trand of comedy in hindi film was started with Govinda, though he acted in many comic films like "Dulhe Raja", "Raja Babu", "Aunty No. 1", "Coole No.1" and most recent" Bhagam Bhag" but he failed to get the recogination and comic status that has been achived by the Paresh Raval, Akashay kumar and Sunil Shetty from the "Hera Pheri". Thanks God Vasu Bhagnani has not reached the status of Mahmood as people got his message From "Lage Raho...." presented under the cover of comedy. In fact " Lage Raho...." is the first comic siqual of Indian silver screen, this and "Munna bhai..." has provided space for emergence of Sanjay Datta and Arshad Warasi as new comedy kings of bollywood. let us pray to God to extend this honeymoon of comedy and hindi films for a prolonged period so our stressful tensionable day to day life may have the showers of laughter from time to time.

Jhoom .... is a multi starer movie from the most trusted and established banner "Yashraj" with the prime attraction of gate up of Amitabh, where as Sivaji ..... is a film directed by Shankar [fame of being steel burg of south India] with music composed by great master A.R. Raheman. Rajanikant is featuring in a movie after a break of almost two years hence the curiosity of his fans is on high tides aiming to reach the space beyond the sky, beside that reports says that sivaji... is the most expensive film of Indian history with a budget of about 500millions US$. Yasraj, name itself guarantee the success at the box office and if we add to that Big B who is proving old wine, as with the increasing age, he is creating new mile stones of success with his unmatched ability of giving a live shapes to the characters he plays in the movies.
