MNIK : A Movie, A Message

My Name is Khan and I am not a Terrorist.
The movie is not just a movie, it is a message for the whole world. It is not meant for Americans or white people, it is not directed towards one group, but it is for every person, every nation and every religion. It is a world issue camouflaged in a movie.
I will term it as a brave movie, it is a movie which needs guts and conviction to be told. Karan Johar has matured from being a romantic director to something too serious. His last venture, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna may haven’t topped the box office collection, but it is his best movie after MNIK. ShahRukh Khan has given his career best performance and you will recognize him only as Rizvan Khan in the movie.
It deals with two issues. One is, our perception that every muslim is a terrorist. Second, for those people who are deteriorating the position of common Muslims by their belligerent nature. The film tells us, that it is time that we stop classifying people on the name of religion, but just good and bad. There is no religion in the world, which promotes killing and terrorism. Every war has personal motives of few people. They influence young minds by giving them wrong interpretations of religion and making them believe that their deeds will seek them a place in heaven. Or I should say, their hatred grows so much that they forget which is the path of God. And this thing is not only for one religion or one cast, it happens everywhere irrespective of religion. We have examples in our daily life. Bombings in India, Pakistan, America shows that bombs knows no religion and terrorists belong to no castes.
My name is Khan touched me deeply. It has all the instances of everything I said above, told beautifully. It is a must watch movie for the whole world, including all religions. It is a movie to kill the perception that every Muslim is terrorist. It is time we focus on mankind, providing them love and friendship, because that is the most important thing required as of now. Judge people by their deeds and not on their caste and creed. Atlast, we are all human beings living together in a society, trying to be happier every second of our life.
(P.S – I don’t know whether ShahRukh Khan and Karan Johar will receive award for this because it is too early in 2010 and a lot of movies yet to hit the screens, but I surely feel that this movie will receive the RamNath Goenka Screen Award)

Dan Brown - The Lost Symbol ?

Dan Brown is a master plotter. And each of his creations is just better than before. Many people may find his novels a bit boring, considering his long explicable facts of history, somewhat veiled from the everyday life. No matter people still feel The Da Vinci code is far better than his Angels and Demons. One thing I am assured of. Dan Brown wont spare you until you reach the last page of the book.
After reading his three books, two bestsellers and one fast reaching the feat, few things are crystal clear of Dan Brown. First, he researches a lot. Every book of his has some secret societies, institutes and buildings. Second, he has a well riveted storyline which moves at a commendable pace with twists and turns amid all his facts. Sometimes, I myself don’t comprehend whether he wants to tell a story or fascination of a secret society.
Now, let me come to the main point of my lecture above. I completed the fifth book of Dan Brown, THE LOST SYMBOL today. The book is yet about yet another mystery, The Mason, a society not many people are aware of including me. I shouldn’t call myself worthy of knowing world secrets because I opened the gates of my knowledge pretty late in my life, but I am always awestruck reading his books. Also, the new concept here was Noetic Science. I don’t know whether any of you would believe me but I have unconsciously felt the miracle of our minds in our daily life.
I never believed in God, but yes, I believed in a force very much in me which is secretly working. I always felt that God is within us. Noetic Science is a new technology which is trying to intersect two parallels, Science and Religion and just trying to pull the human being of its predicament. I always believe that our mind can do wonders if we use it properly. If working of 0.2-0.5% can create the earth as we see it today, what will happen if all the 100% comes to force. Clearly, human being is yet to unveil his own true powers.
I don’t know whether I would be able to know the enigma of human mind or understand its powers, but as of now, I am very excited of reading more and increasing my knowledge. The LOST SYMBOL has definitely inoculated a seed in me to read the Bible and other books of religions, and see if what written in the last pages of the Dan Brown’s novel has some real grounds or not.

P.S: Any of you readers of this blog, if you know books which relate to noetic science, or The power of mind, please do suggest.
