Law Of The Land

We have grown up listening to the cliche "justice delayed is justice denied" but in most of the cases this cliche should be "justice delayed and justice denied",if given attention there is serious difference between the two.there are numerous cases in our country in which the culprit dies his natural death before he is brought to justice due to our hierarchy of courts which reminds me of a special achievement of our postal department when once an interview letter of someone reached to his address 40 years later when he was no more in this world.these things can only happen consistently and frequently in mera bharat mahaan.

It is a shame how whole system and machinery acted to save the molester,the top cop of haryana.how chief ministers shielded him,promoted him and recommended for president's police medal.on what grounds he managed to smile after the judgement was out.

But hats off to ruchika's friend aradhna who carried the war for justice this far.it was not easy for a girl who is now a wife,a mother, to leave aside a life of comfort for the sake of a friend who is no more when even ruchika's own family tormented by rathore chose to abstain.we have seen many great stories of friendship in bollywood movies but here is a real example which defies blood relations.

With these few lines of mine,i want to convey the message of ruchika to the world-

e duniya teri sarparasti mein,

mujhe giddhon ka gherav mila.

athkhelian lene ki choti si umar mein,

ang ang se rissta ek ghaav mila.

ek vehsi ne to fakat suruvaat ki thi,

ussper kaanon aur samaaj laachaar mila.

19 saal ke jhakhmon pe 6 mahiney ka marham laga diya,

dharti ke insaaf ka namoona ye khaas mila.

maaf karna aradhna jo chhod diya tujhe akela,

dosti nibhana kise kehte hain,aakhir tujhse ye ehsaas mila.

THE GREAT EXPECTATIONS

I was waiting for this movie for a long time because of the duo,aamir and rajkumar hirani,they are the aristotel and Plato of modern times who gave us gems of movies like rang de basanti,taare zamin par,munnabhai m.b.b.s and lage raho munnabhai.we have had film-makers who addressed social issues in their movies but none with the ease and articulation of aamir and hirani.they have the knack of connecting the abstract with the concrete,the remote with the near,the physical with the spiritual,and the sublime with the commonplace.this rare juxtaposition thrills us,make us laugh and shed tears.they tickle the funny bone in you and take the wit and humour to new spheres.this cult quality make their movies exceptionally enlightening and entertaining thus bringing the two opposite poles to the cinema screen together which otherwise could have been simple artistic,preachy and documentary films.this movie draws its marrow and mould from chetan bhagat's "five point someone", but i enjoyed movie far more than the book itself.
I couldn't wait and went to watch the first day,first show of 3 idiots with plethora of expectations in my mind and got back 10 times what i expected.let me make one thing clear that i am not someone who can be easily pleased by any movie.while coming downstairs after watching the movie i heard a gentleman saying that he is amused why one channel gave the movie a 4 star rating when it deserves a perfect 5.well! some movies are beyond ratings,beyond the fault finding minds of critics by their sheer aftermath effects on society.this movie cracks whip on our modern education system which only produces bureaucrats not thinkers and only aim at providing us a 9 to 5 job without which as said in the movie,no father will give us his daughter and bank a credit card.this pragmatic and utilitarian approach holds us back and kills inventiveness which is so necessary for mankind to flourish."3 idiots" is a slap on the face of those who gauge one's talent just by the parameter of marks,as i have mentioned in my poem "mann mere".our centres of higher studies encourage higher marks over research which become clear when we count Nobel prizes and patents India has got.their are many other problems raised in the movie and the best thing is that the solution is also provided.

My principal Mr. sharma always used to say that we Indians are struggling for bread not for butter but this movie teaches us to follow our passion and choose a profession of our own choice which is tough to do in a country like ours but not impossible after all it is risky out on a limb but that's where all the fruit is.

Romance Revived

Impossible they call it to find a lady both faithful and fair
meet they shall me,I'll show them she is now and here.
restless are my days,sleep has bidden adieu,
and thoughts are ruled by you,you and you.
your charms call me,and torment my heart,
what if somebody name it infatuation or flirt.
let's not make mistakes that many in history have made,
come mingle like dye in the wool and never get fade.
..because love is not the prerogative of those learned,
we equally are blessed with emotions and by cupid governed.

The Task Ahead

something to live,something to thrive,
dreams to fulfil,some others to strive.
paths to tread and magic to hope,
hymns to chant among complexities to cope.
ego's to set aside,humility to the fore,
grudges to bury and deep into the core.
conventions to break and new rules to shape,
customs to alter,few others to still fake.
mysteries to decipher and logic's to apprehend,
heights to climb upon,few aptitudes to descend.
perceptions to thrill with sublime sighs of ecstasy,
realities to feel with fancy flights of fantasy.
don't know on these prospects if to startle or not !,
but let's not be a businessman to assess what i lost or got.
