Forest of Nepal

Forest of Nepal
Nepal is rich in forest resources. One, more than 60% of its total land was covered with forest and it was said green forest is the wealth of nation. But now it is limited in words only because forest area is being diminished day by day.
According to the geographical diversity, many kinds of forest are found in Nepal, i.e. sub-tropical, temperate, sub-alpine, alpine etc. In the southern part of Nepal, sub-tropical and tropical forests are found. In the hilly region, temperate forest is found. Likewise, in the Himalayan region, sub-alpine and alpine forests are found.
There are many advantages of forest. It is the shelter for many creatures which are the parts of ecosystem. We can get timber, firewood, grass, medicinal herbs etc. by which we can run many industries. It keeps the environment clean and helps to rain, control landslides and soil erosion. We can promote tourism and earn foreign currency by setting up National parks and wildlife reserves.
Though it has so many advantages, it has some disadvantages too. The people who live near the forest are given torture by the wild animals.
In spite of its great importance, people are destroying forest area indiscriminately. If this trend continues, there will be a great crisis in Nepal in the near future. Forest is valuable assets of Nepal.

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?

Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?

atithi-tum-kab-jaoge-01www.anandsansar.blogspot.comFilm: Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge?

Screenplay: Robin Bhatt, Ashwini Dhir, Tushar Hiranandani
Music: Pritam
Lyrics: Irshad Kamil
Editor: Dharmendra Sharma
Choreography: Raju Khan
Cinematography: Aseem Bajaj
Direction: Ashwini Dhir
Production: Warner Bros. Pictures India
Duration: 1 hour 58 minutes
Rating: 3/5

Inspired by the comedy entries of Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Basu Chatterjee’s cinemas in 1980’s, Atithi Tum Kab Jaoge is a light hearted entertainer resting on three main characters, Munmun, Puneet and Chachaji. Munmun (Konkona Sen Sharma) and Puneet (Ajay Devgan), a married couple, who are living happily in Mumbai till a distant relative, Chachaji (Paresh Rawal) drops off, from a far off village, into their house without informing. The visitor overstays his welcome and hence, the couple starts getting incensed and begins to plan out different ways to speed up his departure.

Though the movie may not be completely fulfilling, but it has got a sure shot old-world charm that one certainly misses out in the cinemas of today. The surprising part is that the devotional factor has smartly been infused inside the screenplay and the audiences, especially the traditional Indian ones, will love the way the different sanskaars, Chachaji inculcates into Puneet and Munmun’s son. But somewhere the writing moves off into unwanted areas that could have been avoided easily, especially, the raid at the hotel then the cop scene, and later the hiring of the services of a Bhai to get rid of Chachaji from their home. Also, the repeat telecast of Chachaji breaking the wind looks funny but then due to the repetition becomes an overdose.

Regarding the performances, all were good. Ajay Devgan has performed his part most persuasively, Konkona Sen Sharma is completely natural and spontaneous throughout the movie and Paresh Rawal is truly superb in his act as Atithi and has stolen out every scene from the other actors. Sanjay Mishra, Akhilendra Mishra, Mukesh Tiwari and Viju Khote were also good in their role, and Satish Kaushik shines out, especially in the part where he apologizes to Ajay. No doubt the dialogues by Ashwani Dhir are excellent and the cinematography by Aseem Bajaj is truly first class.

Kites



kites-poster-1Film: Kites
Star Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Barbara Mori, Kangana Ranaut, Nick Brown
Cinematography: Ayananka Bose
Music: Salim-Suleiman, Rajesh Roshan
Director: Anurag Basu
Producer: Rajesh Roshan
Genre: Romance, Action, Thriller
Duration: 2 hours
Rating: 2.5 / 5

A long awaited movie directed by Anurag Basu, Kites boosts up a love story crossing up the linguistic barriers along with hosting a blend of Indian curry spiced up with some Mexican nachos. A romantic anecdote between an Indian and Mexican, Kites is just worth a one time watch, only if you do not expect your popcorn to remain crispy, crusty and crunchy throughout the movie.

No doubt, the director has managed to bind up their hesitant love beautifully with the fiery looks in their eyes that catches up the fire in the storyline, Kites lacks a lot of things. The story moves about Jai and Natasha, two street hustlers running for their lives from two rich siblings, who they have dumped for their love. Jay (Hrithik Roshan) lives in the tramples of the by-lanes of Las Vegas. He happens to marry the umpteen girls for their green card and unfortunately, Linda (Barbara Mori) turns up to be one of his abandoned wives. Sparks tend to fly out as they meet up again, but this time not as singles but as two committed people who have committed to two other people, Gina and Tony (Kangana Ranaut and Nick Brown), for their money. But soon, the couple discover their love and flee off having the rich brother and sister duo retaliate on them any moment seen on the streets. Unfortunately, the second half lacks its twist and makes the movie predictable as it unfolds some boring chasing and romantic scenes.

The director has tried to slip in some emotional touches, but the lack of sizzle in between the duo does not give the scenes the feel. There is a grand texture and visual feel the cinematography by Ayananka Bose. The rain-sopping climax along with Hrithik stitching up Barabara’s arm hiding behind the rocks is truly a worth shot but the lack of a hot bonding brings up a cold feel to the scene. Though, Barbara boosted out a complete feisty look and Hrithik turned up to be staggeringly handsome, unfortunately both the actors were just passable with a lack of emotions, passion and inferno. One actually feels sorry about the admirable Kangana who was dropped down to a speechless accomplice, almost throughout the movie. Playback by Rajesh Roshan does not seem to give a tang because of the repetitive background score given by Salim-Suleiman. Regarding the styling, Barbara, though looked good, disappeared within a flash time in a bikini. Hrithik guised cool throughout the movie, but putting him up in traditional Mexican attire was terrible.

Due to lack of story, chemistry and unfortunately twist, the movie, which could have been a cross-over movie that Bollywood was dreaming about since a very long time, unfortunately went down before it took off and flew!
