               Wazir is a startling thriller movie with an excellent plot line. A well written script by Vidhu Vinod Chopra and Abhijat Joshi. The story is completed based on a chess board game. The game here is amazingly used as a metaphor with the characters. The script is very compact with a time limit of 104 minutes.

               Farhan and Amitabh play role of a fathers who have lost their daughter, sharing same grief. Amitabh (Omkarnath Dhar) is chess grandmaster who lost his legs and wife in an accident and daughter after an year. Farhan (Danish Ali) is an ATS  officer who lost his daughter in a firing with terrorists. He is suspended for killing a terrorist in unauthorised firing, who is the killer of his daughter. His wife blames him for their daughter's death. The story also have a very good political point which is interconnected with terrorism.

               Second half of the film is full of suspense and thrill. It holds our attention till the end. Climax is just outstanding,  which leaves us dumbstruck. The representation of chess game in a dance form is really remarkable.

                The movie is also very pleasing in terms of cinematography,  music and direction also. Although the first half of the film eeems little sloppy, it's not bad. It can be watched more than once. 

Odd-even formula for Delhi cars.

           The Indian capital has started the trial phase of a new initiative which will see private cars allowed to operate only on alternative days from January 1-15, depending on whether their licence plates end in even or an odd number.

            This initiative is taken in order to control pollution in Delhi. The city also seen a marked increase in the number of hospital patients with respiratory illness.

            Many people are in support of this rule. They feel it's for our benefits and health improvement. They are not completely wrong.  But there are people who are having trouble in reaching their work places on time.  There are business loss for so many people, as there shipment won't reach on time, they have to keep in mind the odd-even numbers.

             Using public transport is not an easy option. Sometimes people have to change few buses or metros. Carpool is also not a good option.  We don't always get it on right time.

             Instead of making the odd-even rule, the government should try to clean the city neatly.  And check the vehicles which emits harmful gases (especially trucks) and only those vehicles should be allowed on road which are checked.  This will help check the air pollution and reduce it.

             Some researchers say, they have not seen much difference in the environment.  But kejriwal says the pollution has decreased by 40%. Some people are happy with this rule, as they have a relief from long hours traffic issues.
