Its been a month since i returned to bangalore now.. i came a week before exams started.. studied quite a bit, for a change. Exams really screwed my over.. as they usually do but lets forget its over.. anyways after exams i saw 3 movies Da Vinci Code, X-Men 3, & Munich.. while all 3 were brilliantly made flicks i muts say x-men was kind of a let down.. i expected more from that movie.. they tried to put too much in to litle time..
Da Vinci on the other hand was a really good movie but as always the books turned into movies r beter in the book form.. anyways Tom Hanks and Audrey Tautou hvae done an excellent job playing their roles in the movie.. but one thing that v sorely miss in the movie is angdon's thought process.. how he decifers all the codes and stuff which is there in the book.. anyhow the producers tried to incorprate that in the movie and were successful to some extent but not wholely.
Munich was based on the effects of the murder of 11 Isreali Olympians in the Munich Olympics.. How the Mossad (the isreali intelligence agency like CIA and MI5) reacted by sending a team of agents after the people responsible and the affects it had on this team.. This movie is one of the most powerful movies i have seen in my life and is the best made and the most realistic film.. this is a must film and should be seen by everybody.
Well after the movies my internship started.. i'm working at Deutsche Bank, Bangalore.. its interesting work.. learning loads and loads about investment options. Mutual Funds, Stock Market etc etc.. other some inportant stuff has taken a back seat for now.. dunno wat i'm gonna do about it.. cant figure out anything.. anyways the future is clouded in a heavy mist.. cant see what i'm doing.. can't see where i'm going.. Its only time which will tell if i took the correct steps or if i stumbled and went wrong.. lets see what happens..
Dunno what to write more so i guess i'll just leave it at this point..
Cheerios..

Philosophy or shall we say Point of View ??
On different occasions i have been called a philosopher by a few friends... once it was on a small write up of mine and among other incidents one was when i was making a genuine point to a friend...
On one occasion a friend replied "ya ya watever.. You and your philosophy"
On another incident another friend was definitely impressed...
But how much do people really understand another person's point of view.. Or should it be 'How much do people really try to understand another person's point of view?'
Do people our age find philosophy boring?? do they take interest in philosophy?? do they ever think deep into a point??
According to me philosophy is nothing but analysis of a point of view... every person's point of view is his/her philosophy... so when everyone has a philosophy why don't they try and understand another person's point of view...

Are kids today tooo busy with they're own lives??
or
Are they too shelfish that they don't care to know how other people think??
or
Is it that they just are too short sighted to understand anybody elses' but their own point of view??
or
Is it that they are just tooo lazy to do some deep thinking of their own???

After reading all this u will certainly ask "point of view on what??"
point of view could be on any topic under the sun... could be on really conspicuous topics or on really simple topics.. as every one has a different ways of looking at things.. everyone's approach is totally different.. and therefore their philosophy is different.
The main question striking my mind right now....
Is being called a philosopher good for a person of my age?? is it good for my image?? (i know i don't have much of an image or rep.. but still) let me rephrase that 'is it good for anybody in our age group's image??'
Why is it that when a young person is callled a philosopher he/she is considered to be very serious and boring?? is it not possible for a person to have fun, enjoy life and be a deep thinker all at the same time??
If it is possible then why is it that philosophers in our age group are not appreciated???
i understand that the youth are not serious or do not think of philosophy or anything of the kind.. they are more spontaneous and in the moment kinda people but does it hurt to listen to and consider a valid point??
there has been so much damage done in the past & present & will be done in the future in individual as well as collective lives due ppl not considering other peoples' point of view and ideas.. not placing themselves in the other peoples' shoes and not analysing ideas from 360 degs
are poeple too much of a surface thinker and too gullible that instead of thinking and deducing cocnlusions on their own they rely and believe whatever anybody tells them. If this is the case i can confidently say that the world is already doomed no effort can be done to save it..
For example lets take up the issue of the currently ongoing Aamir Khan Case. According to him he made statments and supported the rehabilitation of the victims of the Dam Project.. but his statements have been misunderstood and misrepresented by the BJP in Gujarat due to which this whole controversy has come up.. now so many times aamir khan's interviews have come on television.. so many times he has spoken about he meant and what he said.. he has explained his point of view in detail but yet poeple are not listening to what he says.. they refuse to understand "his point of view" and the poeple of the state blindly believe the instigators.
This is exactly what i'm talking about.. this is exactly what will doom this nation.. ignorance and the unwillingness of people to dig for the truth.
On this note i bid u adieu (for now i'll be back to bug u) and i hope that people think deep into this point of mine and recognise the folly of their ways.

Who Am I??
Ever had the feeling of not knowing what u r supposed to do in life..
ever felt lost - not knowing how to occupy ur time or what to do that will attract ur interest completely..
ever felt as if there is no one in this world who actually wants to stay in touch or interact with u..
ever had the feeling that no matter how much u try to make a difference u can never touch peoples' lives in that special way u have always wanted to..
ever felt that Goo Goo Dolls' song "iris" matches so much with ur feelings that it touches ur heart instantly...
" And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
" And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah you bleed just to know you're alive
And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am "
Dedication
- for all those lost in the maze of life
- for all those disillusioned by the hypocrisy of this world
- for all those who don't know who the hell they are
