The other day my friend asked me " If given a legal right , whom wud you like to kill???"
I had answered jokingly " too many to name",,,,
But i was so so very wrong,,,,,,My perceptions have changed suddenly in a day,,,,,,,thnx to rakeysh Omprakash,,,I've now realized what it actually takes to transform educated , carefree and self centered ppl like us to brutal killers ,,,,,
The hatred , pain and frustration ofbeing wronged , of losing someone dear , of letting go our hard earned freedom to corrupt and senseless ppl around us ,,,the intensity with which certain events affect us ; all combine to bring out the worst in us,,,
Its easy to name ppl whom you hate and wud like to kill,,,but it is million times more difficult to vent out your hatred against ppl who have actually wronged you , robbed you of your rights and left you to just LIVE ; live not for happiness but live to breathe and breathe to live,,,,,
To kill or to defy law is a taboo and something that instantly terms you as a terrorist ,,,,,a defaulter , an outsocial ,,,
If that applies,was bhagat singh a terrorist ?
Was the stubborn opposition of Gandhiji not a breaking of law?
Or was massive killing of innocent ppl during Jalianwallah not a breach of law on the britishers part????
Sure , these incidents were termed the same at the time they took place ,,,But are they the same 50-60 yrs hence,,,,
Definitely NO ,,,they r now termed as sacrifices , quoted as examples of bravery to generations that follow,,,,,serving as epitome of selfless act for the benefit of masses,
If that be the case , an act of today to make India better , although be it against the law,is definitely a worthwile investment ;An investment that wud look for our sacrifices ,,,,the awakening of this generation and those to follow, to come out of the self confined territories to accept the drastic truths staring blatantly at our faces,,,,,
This may sound too huge and made up,,and perhaps once the hangover of the movie passes by me,I would also return back to the mundane self centered life of mine ,,,,,,
But , as of today , I've viewed this world with a different light,,,,At least for today ,,,,to me ROOBAROO ROSHNI HAI

couldn't agree with you more... to tell you the fact, infact, the potential of india has been untapped due to bloody politics and bureaucracy. if we were to get rid of it in some way, india cud indeed be a much better place to live in and be proud of.
however, as u so rightly put it in ur closing statement, the movies just pump the adrenalin for a while and when it phases out, we just return to our selfish interests.
great stuff though... it's soothing to know that many people atleast ponder over it.
hi there..
just came across ur blog..
cant stop myself from commentin on this post:)
what u ve written in this post may be cent-percent true, but u missed out on 1 aspect.. there's a huge difference between REEL stories and REAL stories!
to begin with, it isn't that easy to kill someone..esp at such a high post!! further, our political system is full of such ....!!! so no point killing just one....!!
today, life is not about abiding by the law, or breakin it! its more about ME! (not me, but.. hope u understand)
just by helping people around us in need, feedin the poor, and keepin our surrounding clean, we would end up doing much more than what govt. officials would ever manage!
but again.. this probably is just a passing thought in my mind.. just as the post was in ur mind when u wrote it!!
cheers!
@sky Knight
thnx for ur comments:),,,,many of us ponder but it takes real guts to actually convert these thoughts to some action,,it holds true for me too:)
P.S. : You have a nice collection urself:)
@ super- galactica
Thnx for ur views:)
I agree REEL life and REAL life are two completely diff things ,,,and I also agree that we r too engrossed to pamper "ME ,MYSELF and MINE "
But the awareness itself to do wat u suggested will in itself require a motivation,,,and atleast I felt that this movie made us think twice bout these things,,,:)
Really nice post...
