Behind Enemy Lines

I was catching up on "Behind enemy lines" movie two days back and regretted
for missing the first one hour. That movie was so good that it kept me glued to
the tv even though it was so late at night.Portrayal of a fighting spirit of a soldier and the captain's spirit on saving that one life left at the enemy's place was truly awesome. And top of it , some scenes were truly touchy and simple to relate with your heart. One among them was a scene where they show kids skipping the trap wires so carefully -which are planted bombs to kill anyone who would cross that .Imagine , if children are exposed to this way of life, what will they turn out to be when they are adults.No wonder terrorism is breeding in leaps and bounds in this world .

Another scene shows Owen Wilson taking a lift from a group of young guys and his interactions with them reveal they are so cool like any other young men wanting to listen to rap music and hip hop stuff. But the war zone makes them hang around with guns and run for their life every day.

The climax scene is too heroic and makes you want to clap actually - i was all smiles and looking at my husband proudly when watching the scene as if i were the one recovering the CD that had all the evidence of proving these guys guilty of the genocide . Fighting spirit is what you learn from movies like these .And in that note , i cannot forget the scene from Gladiator -i love that movie and fall in love with Russel crowe every time i see him as Maximus.One fight where he gets together all the salves on his side and fights against the tiger is truly a treat to the eye.

I start to think why we do have people fighting over states, places, rivers,religion and power .Really , life is so beautiful and it is worth living every moment of it smiling and being happy. How i wish i can change the world - rather heal the world and make it a better place for you and for me and for the future of our children !!!

May there be only peace in this world please !!!

Feeling of HELPLESSNESS !!

After following the news completely on mumbai terror attacks , reports and forwarded mails on bashing politicians and media ...phew ..don't we have better things to think /talk about in life ,Definitely not !!

Guess i was so disturbed watching the whole episode on the mumbai terror attacks , that i dreamt of being chased by the terrorist in a jeep ..they are firing and i manage to take the stairs of a building ..then i dunno if i reached inside the building or was shot ..as that is all i remember from my dream ..

When i woke up , i felt horrified ..wondered if only a dream can make me loose my guts , imagine being a hostage or being attacked in reality..i cant imagine !!

What surprises me the most is ignorance and behaviour of majority of the people ..
many of them i spoke to know politicians over look a lot of things including LTTE / Caste based riots for the sake of getting the votes into their kitty ...and they are still in favour of them / vote for them :-(

Wonder when all of us will wake up and realise what we are doing to ourselves?
everyone knows the politicians are looting public money ,hardly interested in common man and we stay put with all this ?? why ??

Look at the plight of our ministers ...SAD is not the word ...!!
Ex Home Minister has the audacity to say .."these kinds of small things do happen in big cities" ..it sounded worse than a movie dialogue to me ..Does he even know what he is saying being in a responsible position ...Thank God , he was fired !!!

Media on the other hand publishes/telecasts everything and anything for the sake of TRP's ..huh ..I was watching the coverage on TV last nite -how we are getting geared and preparing our airforces etc ..Is this a breaking news ?? don't they have common sense ...??
the whole world is watching us including the guys who will plan the next attack...
And the same reporter on TV gave the news that the LET head were watching the coverage on TV and guiding /updating the terrorists inside TAJ and Oberoi on the NSG's movements ....what a pity ???

After so much has happened and that will happen in the future, are we still going to put up with all this and stay quiet??

I am so tired of saying ..i can only pray ..high time i got over the feeling of helplessness and ACT upon it ..I really wanna do something to contribute to PEACE !!

How many are willing to join me ??And what should we do .?? Any ideas???
