After a long time

Hi guys. I have changed my MUM to DU. The rest is BAI. :)
Got it?? I reached DUBAI today, the 18th of Jan 2007, 12:30 Local time. tHAT IS 2:00 pm IST.

Dubai is not what we usually associate with it. It is more like Mumbai, albeit the cost of living is manifold. And for a newcomer, who is used to the lavish living of Vasai (In terms of space), this is suffocating.

But I see a lot of opportunities for Photography. Hope I get enough funds to keep my passion alive!!
Will write more about my endeavours in the coming days. Today I am too tired to write!
I miss my Mumbai & Vasai already!!

Sanjay Dutt Convicted in 1993 Bombay serial Blast case


Famous bollywood actor and son of late Mr. Sunil Dutt is convicted for keeping an AK-56 rifle and it's Ammunition during the Mumbai Bomb Blast 1993. He is likely to be send to Aurthur Road Jail. Sunjay Dutt has been accused of taking 2 AK 56 rifles, a 9 mm pistol and Hand Granades. He returned all except one Ak-56 which he destroyed later. The Special Court Judge Pramod Kode found him guilty of this charge but acquitted him on Conspiracy charges.
Sunjay Dutt 's Career graph has seen an unprecedented high lately. His films, Kaante, Vastav & the famous Munnabhai I & II was all superhits. The Munnabhai series has attained cult status and the second part was triggered a new interest in "Gandigiri", or Gandhi-ism. Recently a University from Rajastan offered a new cource in "Gandhigiri" and it's VC invited Sunjay Dutt to deliver the first lecture.
Currently aproximately 100 crore rupees is riding on him in various projects. half a dozen films are nearing finalization and this verdict means doom for them. The court will give the sentence only at a later date but it is likely that he will get 3-5 year term. He has already spend 18 months as an undertrial. But a 5 year term spells doom for his filmi career.
This is a big blow to Priya Dutt, the Congress MP, who have actively supported her brother during his ordeal. The BJP is likely to call for her resignation on moral grounds. During her election campaign, Sunjay Dutt has actively campaigned for her.
