It’s always I enjoy Charlie Rose interviews, they are really productive and brings out quality answers which we can rely on. Now its one of his interviews with Sarah Chayes, A former NPR Correspondent. 

From this talk it proves, the difference between a person who's talking about an issue just by listening the facts from someone or by watching news in the media and a person who is actually having the genuine experience with the issue, I am happy to see an American talking about the Afghan people situation and their present state with understanding their actual problems by being  part of their day to day life. 

The whole 17 mins video had given me lot of satisfaction, it filled me up with lot of knowledge in understanding the situations in Afghan, and some of the moments in the interview are really fantastic... 

When Charlie asked a question “Does the things which you are proposing, does they happen in Karzai Government?" She responded “Are we serious?" that’s truly amazing!  

As she was explaining about US, she made a very good point that "US should stop implementing the 20th century strategies in the 21st century, by dividing the nations as US favored Nations and Nations against US."  

The words she used to describe herself "Boundary Crosser" I think those are the apt words which suits her best! 

Once again thanks to Charlie Rose for bringing in a fantastic interview!

As a part of my Sunday drive through into the YouTube, I came across the One on One interviews by Riz Khan, I started watching his interview with Russell Peters and then Nasiruddin Shah. I liked his way of interviewing, the questions were just to the point and not much aggressive with any of the subject lines, and one of the things which I observed with him is his strong Irish English accent.

 

Coming to Nasiruddin Shah, everybody says he is a great actor and however I always cannot judge the acting skills much, so I just follow the people's opinion and consider him a great actor. Today after watching this interview I felt he got the quality in him and he seems to me as a person who is strong at his basic concepts and able to watch his feelings from time to time.

 

During the interview few words of Nasiruddin Shah, surprised me and they are really thought provoking for example when he was asked about his experience on his Hollywood film "The League of Extraordinary Gentleman" he replied “Its boring". This has really amazed me, I had seen this first of its kind, a Bollywood actor not reacting much for a Hollywood chance and not much bothered to appreciate it over and over again. Generally when we see some one telling his true feelings about a topic in a straight forward way, which the general crowd not much used to it, starts commenting and gives a disagreeable feedback, which is relatively common in every field, However for a moment if we try to observe the sense of the statement, we can see a different way of understanding which I feel is much closure to the truth rather than the impression which I acquired from repeatedly hearing from huge mob.
