So my man Aamir has done it again—this time with a record-shattering blockbuster as well as one of the most prestigious awards conferred by the Indian state—the Padma Bhushan. The road has been long and arduous; this trail-blazing trajectory was never a certitude. In 1989 AK was a different man, a different star. He has grown up just as we have. A generation has come of age—we’re older, wiser, and better—just as AK is. Like good wine and superior Scotch whiskey, the man has gotten better (mellow, flavorful, complex) with time. This piece is more about my generation than about Aamir Khan. In a way it is a bildungsroman—a coming of age narrative tethered to the shifting fortunes of one of the most successful stars from Bollywood.
The Filmafare Awards(2010) night was as usual sparly and glittery. Enjoy the slide show where the gorgeous bollywood stars sparkled the red carpet in Mumbai on Saturday the 27th.
A group of boys and girls in ragged clothes, were asking for money and mithai, drenched in colors that would frustrate any environmentalist – red, silver, green, walking through the gali-koocha of dilli nagari’s DDA colonies.

Structuralism has been replaced by post structuralism. Salman Khan has been replaced by Shahid Kapoor (That is very debatable though). Sholay being remade as Ramgopal Varma ki Sholay. The 80’s pop scene in India which comprised of mehnaz, Anadia and Shweta Shetty has now moved and made way for Bhangra, Sonu Kakkar and the likes. It is no different then, that Doordarshan’s classic ‘Mile sur Mera Tumhara’ has been replaced by a newer version.
