The Great Impressionist
Sanjeev kumar was from the same genre of acting school that Moti lal, Balraj Sahani, Pran, Nasseruddin Shah, Pankaj Kapoor and Paresh Rawal are. They are all natural actors and have given their best performances while working according to the requirement of the scripts.

His most popular films are Seeta Aur Geeta, Sholay , Aandhi, Mausam, Manchali, Trishul, Devta, Angoor, Shatranj Ke Khiladi, Naya Din Nayi Raat, Naukar,Etc.,
He started his carrier in 1960 but got break as a hero with the film Nishana in 1965, a B-grade movie. However he got recognisation through film Sangarsh where he was pitted against the famous Dilip kumar in 1968. Then with 1970’s Khilona in which he played the role of a dejected, mentally unstable lover, he established himself as a successful actor. Then again he gave powerful performance in Dastak. The role of deaf and dumb “Hari” in the film Koshish and hand-less “Thakur” in Sholay, where he largely emoted through his eyes showed his prowess. The great director Satyajit Ray casted him in his classic Shatranj ke khiladi as chess-obessed “Mirza” in 1977. Sanjeev Kumar showed his versatility with Naya Din Nayi Raat by playing nine different characters in the movie.
On one hand he mastered the role of physical challenged characters and on the other hand he played romantic and comical roles in Manchali, Angoor, Pati Patni Aur Woh,etc., action oriented films like Devta, Aakramaan, Nishaan, Raja Aur Runk, etc., horror like Jaani Dushman in which he played the role of evil possessed man.
Sanjeev Kumar’s ability to portray difficult roles, irrespective of the age or the type of character with ease made him the most versatile actor of all times. He was always ready to take the challenge to do unconventional roles, that’s why he was able to work with all the best directors of his time. He was always ready to go for physical or physiological changes as per the requirements of scripts. He mastered all the genre of cinema like Drama, Action, Adventure, Tragedy, War, Classic, Comedy, Romantic and Horror. Though he played many elderly roles in his films but his contribution to the cinema is timeless and will be cherished in the hearts of all cine lovers.

How to save the country from the nemesis of corruption
Corruption is like cancer in the society which is engulfing the complete system. It spreads a very negative image of the country and hampers its development. Right from the top to bottom, this element is destroying the entire fabric of the society. Everyday we come to read about the scandals of various clerks, officers and politicians getting charge sheeted for gulping huge amount of public money either by diverting government funds or by taking bribes. The black money kept in foreign banks belongs to such people.
The political system certainly require some changes as these parties use money ,alcohol and muscle power to get votes and this money, used in the election comes from the business houses which are latter favoured. Even the seats are sold during the elections. How can we rely on these representatives who come just to multiply their investments?
The nexus between politician-burocrats-businessmen-criminals is able to influence the law. They have been able to interpret the law for their own benefits. Previously politicians used to employ these strongmen and criminals to eliminate their rivals, but now these criminals have started getting elected. We all have seen their behavior and etiquette level inside and outside the parliament.
When, for simple Government fourth class employees, a mandatory minimum education and clean character certificate is required then, why are they spared? Similarly age of retirement should be as per prevailing government law. All the properties of tainted persons should be attached and should be used in community services. The politicians and their families should be barred from contesting the elections or changing the parties once convicted.
Why is law for the poor only? Why does law take so much time to give verdict?
Emperor Jehangir type of law is required in this country, as nobody is above the law.
These hypocrite politicians don’t want laws which make them answerable and that’s why they want investigation agencies to be kept under them so that they can use them against their opponents. They try to conceal the truth; video graphed narco test should be made compulsory for them also. After so many Scams and Scandals, people of nation deserve to know all. The other remedy could be providing an open single window type approval system with time boundation for controlling corruption.
Our Late Prime Minister Shri Lal Bhadur Shastri gave us the slogan of “Jai Jawan Jai kissan “without knowing that one day it will associate the name of our soldiers in scandals like Bofors pay off, Adarsh Housing and Coffin cases. The farmers had to dump their crops on the highways for not even getting their cost prices. There are so many cases of suicides as most of the time few farmers are able take all the declared Government benefits. The lands of farmers have been taken forcibly and are not given proper compensation.
Our most sacred animal, cow is not spared either. Its fodder is gulped down by the corrupt politician who then complaints in the parliament about the cow not milking. What an irony! Corruption is gnawing our nation for sure and then we complain that we are getting nothing from country.

Maya and Mayans
The interconnected phenomenon of psychology, politics and prediction.
Maya the illusion, the bewilderment, created by the God to divert the soul towards the materialistic pursuits. Although the soul is Divine and a part of God, eternally it is under the control of Maya. Because of this the soul has limited knowledge, it's existence is bound by time and space and it is devoid of Divine bliss. This separation from God is the origin of your quest for happiness. That’s why most of human beings are engaged in only eating, sleeping, roaming, fighting, etc just like animals. Human beings are never satiated with what they have; they are in a state of sorrow for what they don’t have and thus they are not able to enjoy the almighty’s best gift bestowed on them-their life.
Mayavati, the estranged chief minister of Uttar Pradesh is also under clouds for sacking her ministers on various criminal and corruption charges, just before the state elections in February 2012. She has been targeted by opposition parties for focusing on the parks, statues and murals, thus splurging public money just to satisfy her ego, instead of fulfilling basic requirements of the state. She has been accused of helping large industrial houses, developers and builders by taking agricultural land of farmers forcibly. The National Rural Health Mission scandal, Taj corridor case, Birthday bashes, Disproportionate income case, etc., have tarnished her image. It’s an irony that this icon of Dalit’s in India and referred to as Behenji (Sister) by laymen, rose from a humble beginning and became the Chief Minister for the fourth time in 2007.According to her, the tenure saw social justice, better law and order situation, transparency in recruitment process and better growth rate.
Maya civilization that flourished around in present southern Mexican states in 2600 B.C. came into news for their theory about dooms day in 2012. The Maya calendar suggest grave disturbances like earthquakes, solar storms, volcanoes, tsunamis, magnetic pole reversal, meteorite, etc for the end of human civilization in the month of December 2012. The Maya calendar is based around Mesoamerica long count calendar which started around 11 August 3114 B.C. and ends on December 21, 2012. Mayans lived predominantly in communities and had predicted various happenings earlier too, which came true; no doubt this greatly speaks of their scientific knowledge, but merely ending of their calendar in 2012 doesn’t exactly mean the dooms day.
Now let’s wait and watch how the Maya (illusion) will affect Mayavati and Mayans in the year 2012.
