Hey !Know what .Yesterday,I got reply from gul panag (Actress and Former miss India) on twitter.I know I am sounding childish but more than the fact that I got reply from a celebrity,I am amazed at the greatness of this medium called internet which can do wonders to your life in terms of accessibility.
Here's what I twittered to her(I hope it is called twittered):
@gulpanag Hi gul!I've seen promotional stuff on Rann.The film seems exciting and I am eagerly waiting for it.BTW,when is it releasing.
Here's her answer:

Copy of My first post at Anurag Kashyap's official blog
Hi anurag!I've been googling for 'Anurag Kashyap' and 'Piyush Mishra' only ever since I saw GULAAL.Before gulaal,I just heard your name and piyush mishra was an unknown name to me but Post-gulaal ,I feel Anurag kashyap is one of my most favourite directors and Piyush Mishra,a highly multi-talented personality.
GULAAL!OH MY GOD......What a movie...what a movie...!!!I watched gulaal about one month back but still it's scenes ,dialogues,songs play in my mind.The comments and references on India & The condition of society;the poetry of piyush mishra all remain with me all the time.Every actor,it seems ,gave his best to the movie and that needs a director like anurag kashyap to extract those performances out of them.I would specially like to congratulate kay kay menon(perhaps ,he is one the best actors in the industry today),Abhimanyu Singh(Ransa)-What a portrayal of a fearless,defiant rajput,his portrayal is as close to reality as it could be.I can say that since I am a Rajput myself and Finally,Piyush Mishra(unforgettable acting ,great....great....great lyrics,singing and music.).If I can remember something from my hindi textbooks ,'Aarambh hai prachand'-Ek Veer ras ki kavita hai aur 'Jab Shahar hamara sota hai'-shayad vibhats ras ki.I loved the poetry and songs of gulaal-another reason for it could be that I am a poet myself and Thus I understand the anger ,feelings and emotions that the poet must have had while writing those songs and poetry.Also,I can better understand the beauty with which he has expresesed everything in his dialogues,poetry and songs.
Last but not the list,You deserve thousand hugs from every true indian cinema lover for this movie.Every scene is so expressing and strong that those scenes play in my mind whenever I think about the movie(By now,I have seen it thrice-though I never watch any movie twice). As they say that cinema is a director's medium and 'Gulaal ' really is a masterpiece as a movie,as a medium of expression of/by Anurag Kashyap.
I saw your post on Gulaal and I would really like to congratulate you that inspite of so many roadblocks and problems you finally made GULAAL which for me is one of the best movies I've ever seen.People like you are going to be the future of Indian cinema.I don't know why but somehow I feel that you are different from many other bollywood celebrities who don't care much about their fans and that you care about every single comment on yourself and your work.I hope it turns out to be same as what I believe.Would love to be communicating with you in the future as well.

One more thing anurag!Even I would agree with comment no.310 by nisheeth that The end(of gulaal) was a bit not digestable.It was the victory of bad over relatively good.Was it that the plot slipped in the end OR is there anything else that I am not able to get (that you wished to symbolize through it).Also,Please clarify what the character-Ardhanarishwara symbolized?

Film review:Gulaal
Gulaal, according to me is a master piece directed by One of the most sensitive directors of Indian film industry today,Anurag Kashyag.The film boasts of masterly performances by Kay kay menon and some of the lesser known actors like Raja Chaudhry, Abhimanyu Singh, Deepak Dobriyal, Ayesha Mohan , Jesse Randhawa, Piyush Mishra and Aditya Srivastava.
I won't be narrating the story the story but would review the movie as a whole.The story and screenplay of the film is very tight and precise.Though the concept of a separatist movement for a separate Rajputana is way too fictional to be believed but it effectively captures the anger of aristocrats towards the till-now failure of democracy to achieve it's objectives effectively.The film has unforgettable performances by almost all the actors led by Kay kay menon as Dukey Bana,followed by Abhimanyu Singh as Ransa,Deepak Dobriyal as Bhati,Ayesha Mohan as Kiran,Jesse Randhawa as Anuja,Aditya Shrivastav as Karan,Mahie Gill as Madhuri,Raj Singh Choudhary as Dilip and last but not the least,Piyush Mishra as Prithvi Bana .There are clean and effective performances by all other actors too.To me,apart from kay kay menon's performance,acting of Abhimanyu Singh and Piyush Mishra stands apart and would remain with me for long.Kay kay menon has trancended to another level with this performance essaying all the anger ,emotions and stubborn nature of a Rajput leader.Abhimanyu Singh sets the screen on fire with his natural acting and dialogue delivery depicting a defiant Rajput Prince.Piyush Mishra is like Poetry in motion .He adds some light moments to the film still making you think with every line he speaks be it about India be it about the internal conflicts of human personality.
The music of movie is suited to the set-up of movie and has a local flavour to it.The lyrics of all the songs have deep meanings attached to them.Piyush Mishra has done a memorable work with the lyrics of songs.He has also sung few songs with equal excellence.Songs-'Aarambh';'Shahar' and 'Duniya' are absolute winners.Anurag Kashyap has added another feather to his cap by making such an explosive yet sensitive movie.
The film has earned a lot of critical acclaim .They might have given it a 3 or 3.5 on 5 but for me ,this is one of the best films ,I have seen in recent few years and I would rate it 4.5 out of 5.

Introduction
Hi all!I am one of the active manifestations of the divine like everything else in this universe.Ordinary yet extraordinary in my own ways,Normal yet Abnormal in my own ways,Similar to every other human being yet different from the whole universe,A human yet displaying divine and beast at times through my actions like all human beings,Imperfect yet perfect to perceive the imperfection of every mortal thing.
So,here I am,starting to express myself through this great concept called blog and trying to see and depict 'The world visible through the window of my perception'.
