A hope far away!

Heyy, Look!
The beautiful land, across the bay!
Long, wide shores, and shallow white beaches,
Lush green vegetation and blue rolling hills,
The majestic oaks that spread invitingly,
to build a tree house up near the canopy.

Why not wonder,
What mysteries might lie ahead.
Misty waterfalls and cold swimming holes,
Slippery mudslides and swinging vines..!
And quite possibly, hidden cliffs, and poisonous snakes,
And maybe even, dark witches and angry ghosts!

Let's raw this boat across!
Sure, it's got holes in the stern,
Nothing we cannot fix, though, with some care!
With some love, patience and of course, blessings of a decent weather.
Coz, you see, I got some tools, and you got more,
and our laughs and screams and tears, together, might just get us there!

Yes! It's a bit scary,
The boat could be more sturdy.
And it's true, the opposite peer, does seem a bit far,
Yet, it's quite some distance, we have trekked to where we are!
And I know, if you are tired, it is only fare,
That you want rest, and descent into a pensive stare.

But you see, for me,
The horizon is too bright, to turn aback,
though I know, there are more lands I'll come across.
And when the beauty becomes sore, and day turns night,
I will turn my eyes, and follow the stars.
But until then, I will fix these rows,
For if and whence you're ready, there will be less work to be done.

Amon Goeth in Schindler's list and pardoning the devil.

I finally watched it. I was attached to the movie the full three hours, was deeply disturbed by the imagery of the real events that was happening touched by the show of humanity and ended the movie with tears. Great movie... Yes! (Though, it wasn't a great movie, no. I want to write about that too, on a different post). While there were many scenes that are brilliant in many ways, one act puzzled me very much and I think was just pure genius. That is the scene where Amon Goeth kills the boy who was cleaning his bathroom bowl. Here's the last part of it... In the outset the scene portrays the devilish commander killing an innocent boy who think he was pardoned. But I think the scene goes far beyond that. It shows how Amon exercises his new found interpretation of power, power to pardon, in its ultimate sense by pardoning himself. Showing that he finally truly understand the meaning of power, the ultimate power yielded only by God, to pardon a person as villainous as he is...

Climate Change..!!!

It is quite a heated debate that is revolving around the climate change and its effects. I was really ignorant on that 'debate' until i met a couple of science students who held a different view than that of mine. So, I was wondering what others think specially near the UN conference on Climate Change, and here's a poll. Just mark what you think, and fill out the form if you like. The real poll is on top of the page. The one on the bottom is to just see what different societies and age groups think of this issue. (Don't try to research before answering..!:D coz that'll foil the purpose..! ) thanx Loading...
