New comment i have posted in NPR

Regarding http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2010/04/aliens_stephen_hawking.html
Stephen warned about aliens...

"If i were a alien, i will sit at a distance and watch earth like a fish tank.
To get amused, i will give some nightmares to people like stephen and watch what happens.
I will be rolling on floor and laughing."

Regarding MNIK, I have posted the following in NPR

First of all, Thanks to NPR for the review (I think that this may be a counter programming activities to subdue sentiments brought by media for Sharukh Khan's 4 hour US airport interrogation). I would never wanter to see Brad pit is been interrogated in indian airport.
Now regarding the MNIK, This is a simple and superficial movie, inspired from many old movies. But, It has nice subtle messages, very relevant to our time. Even Mr.Forrest Gump made to fortune magazine overnight shrimping. I wish MNIK shall overcome picky critics and haters.
