What People Might Do on Valentine's Day

 A bit early, but the day is not far away! So, imagine what the following would do, and where they would be on Valentine's Day.

Donald Trump- He would love to take over Greenland, Poland, any land where he can spread some love!

Putin- He believes in communism, and so loves all equally. Ukraine ho ya Afghanistan. Will try and prove it too.

Sherlock Holmes- he would go out in search of True Love- more difficult than all his other assignments put together. 

Hercule Poirot- he would just be his charming, old-world self. 

SRK- short for Shah Rukh Khan. He would love to sign autographs for his million admirers.

Salman- his search is unending, because he occasionally beats them up.. lovingly, of course.

Road Romeos- would be locked up in a safe place! With no Juliets in sight.

Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh

 I cannot write so knowledgeably about Shah Rukh or Salaman or Aamir Khan. But I can about these two, because they were a part of my impressionable years.

Both played a role in shaping our thought processes through many roles they played in films. For example, Rajesh Khanna became a heart-throb of many in his Aradhana, whose songs are popular till date. He followed up with many memorable roles, in Amar Prem as a rich and loveless zamindar who finds [love in an unexpected place, in Safar as an artist on the death row. But the best role in my view was in Anand, with a unique view about life and death.

Amitabh was quite different. Full of angst about issues facing society, and also personal angst as in Sharaabi, he mostly got branded as an Angry Young Man (with Mithun Chakraborty being branded as the Poor Man's Amitabh by some evil journalists (Shobha De, maybe?). Deewar is one of his better roles, and Amar Akbar Anthony and Namak Halaal topped in the Entertainment Quotient. Of course, his comic talent also came to the fore in Chupke Chupke. Abhimaan was too serious for my liking. Muqaddar ka Sikandar was also a decent role. 

About SRK, I think his best role was in Kundan Shah's Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa- my favourite.
