Honeymoon travels pvt ltd - one minute review!!!

Although the movie makes you laugh now and then and does a pretty good job at that, the director loses direction and doesnt know what she wants to convey after the first one hour. The movie is riduculous at times and does a really pathetic job at conveying some points such as its "support for gay people". A smooch scene between boman irani and shabana azmi was uncalled for and makes me wonder if hindi movies are losing focus. Irani, raima sen, KK Menon and boman irani offer some saving grace but it just aint enuff. Final word 1 on 5 stars watch it only if you got nothing better to do and only if the ticket costs Rs.50 or less.

Chivalry Vs Stupidity!!!

| 4 comments

Now I believe there is a very thin line between Chivalry and Stupidity. I cant seem to understand gals who take pride in "sponsorship" from stupid/gullible/idiotic wateva men folk to go to parties, restaurants, disco, buy gifts etc.

So you call a gal on a date she agrees, now since you called her perhaps you are morally obliged to pay for her. But when this going around becomes a mutual decision then i strongly believe it must be "Dutch".

Ok agreed that its ok to spend a bit on friends but then someone you have met 2-3 times or for that matter even 20-30 times isnt necessarily a friend right. Also why should one spend 1K-2K hard earned money on some unknown gal when the same money can feed 10 orphans or poor families.

Basically what i am saying is there is a thin line between chivalry and stupidity. Being nice to women doesnt mean you pay for them even when you know they earn twice as much as you - come on what happened to equality of women and all that. And its stupid to spend a lot on a gal even when you see the relationship heading no where just cos u want to spend, its vogue, she expects you to and all that. Put that money to good use be a philanthropist. See that word even sound cooler than chivalry. :)

Hotel Rwanda

Saw Hotel Rwanda last night in Star Movies, yup a bit late to catch up on such a hit movie but then not many theatres were screening it and missed it while it got released. Anyways very touching movie , loved it .

Left me wondering, yet again, why men hurt each other, why people spend lives gathering money for the I, why they hoard money for I's family, why they are worried only about the I. Sometimes I feel capitalism is bad, till everyone is assured of one square meal a day, peace and good education others mustnt be allowed to hoard wealth.

Wrote this poem after seeing the movie, did not come out well but dint try to complete it, this is what immediately flowed out after seeing the movie.

Cant you see heaven crying
For having created you without forewarning
Cant you see your grandsons blood drying
Shot by someone whom his grandfather's murder is avenging

Cant you see that you are prolonging this agony
Transferring it to your and their progeny
Cant you realize that this is felony
Stop laughing for this aint funny

Maybe conscience hurts only the first time you err
But then dont humans realize follies and become better
How could you hurt someone for in color he differs
How could you hurt someone for in looks he is not what you prefer

An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind
So stop this stupidity and with humanity bind
If only we could respect people for being people
If only we could love people for being people
If only we could be people .....

I strongly hope and pray that I do something worthwhile for my fellow earthians before i hit my grave.
