Rupee Devaluation - Size Matters

I usually avoid writing about politics and politicians because the subject is so vast and there is no end to how much the common people can crib.  I have been observing - what I think is the deterioration of the rupee.  A subject which has been playing on my mind a lot lately.  The Rupee seems to have lost so much weight owing to the diet of the politicians. While the Aana and Paisa has gone out of circulation the Rupee coin has become lighter and smaller. Wonder what is the reason? I recently happened to have a lot of change in my purse and found some old and the very recent rupee. See for your self (click on the images to view the larger than life version :P).

I noticed the latest one rupee coin is the same size as the 50 Paisa coin or slightly smaller! They have incorporated the new Rupee symbol on the coin alright but why make it smaller and lighter? The design I most hated was the one with a thumb on it...Thenga!! Its like they are mocking the person holding a rupee! What was that designed for, the illiterates? Are they acknowledging the illiterate population of the country!?

Meet the Mumbaikar Maas' of Bollywood.

Mumbai has given a wide array of Maas’ to Indian Film Industry. This wide array of Bollywood Moms features Desi Moms, Sacrificing Moms, Loving Moms & Villain Moms. Yes, the Moms have played a very vital range of characters and have successfully coped up with the ever changing Bollywood trends. I have made a small research analyses on these Maas’ of Bollywood. Here are some findings and details. :P Hope you will like it.. :-) 

The 1^st and foremost Maa that came to my mind is Nirupa Roy. She was born on January 4, 1931 in Gujrat. She got married & moved to Mumbai when she was just 15. She has a big span of 50 years of Bollywood life. She has about 250 films to her credits of which she has majority acts of a Mother. She was referred as a Suffering Indian Mom who often lost her kids in her films. She has played a couple of Blind Mother roles too. She also lost her husbands in many of her films :P hehehhee.. 

She touched the skies of Bollywood when she gave a super block buster Deewar. In this movie, she has been mother to the brothers Amitab Bacchan & Shashi Kapoor. Amitab’s act was of a criminal mumma boy ;-) Whereas, Shashi Kapoor played a role of a strict Police Officer. The movie Deewar, took Bollywood to a new height which minted unbeatable fortune & fame. Since then, Nirupa Roy has been a mother to Amitab Bacchan in many more films like Amar Akbar Anthony, Suhaag, Lal Badshah, Mukkadar ka Sikandar etc.
