While walking in a mall I saw a young kid wearing super cool shorts like those worn by John Ibrahim, an Ed hardy tee, Blue converse, spiked up hair and a tattoo to add that extra oomph factor and he looked pretty decent and nice I was observing him curiously when I was in a queue to buy my tickets for Y.M.I. alias Yeh Mera India he started laughing and then he bought his tickets for Daddy Cool. After curiously watching him for another minute I overheard him telling his friend about how all the Muslims are bad and then he also pushed a small boy out of his way like a bully.
I came out of the movie amazed, shocked, and happy, I had Goosebumps after watching the movie because it left me thinking and it gave me something strong to think about. I was thinking about that bully of a kid again and I realized how he picked up things from the movies which have no moral teachings, and how he also picked up the vices from different movies but where did all the hard work of the directors go, where did the base of the movie and where did the moral teaching that the movie gave go? I thought and I thought and the more I thought about it and saw the people and the kind of lifestyle around me I observed and I also saw that things have changed and so the thought process of normal people, humanity has taken a backseat and so too the country. In earlier days my people were taught about humanity, about putting your country before yourself and people used to feel for others around them but things changed the generation changed and the century also changed, earlier our country was weak and we got invaded by the Britishers, but today if u really look at it our country is weaker and this time the invasion is not only of human bodies but also of human brains and emotions by the west. We say that our country is all modern and has given up the old systems like caste, religion and race but really have we? We probably get punished by law for any discrimination but have we stopped? We keep on cribbing that out country is not developing but what is the country made of the entire population or only a few selected people in the cabinet of in the government. Alas we fail to understand the power of cinema or media and leave out the important bits of it or simply try to ignore the moral and social teachings, we curse the world of discriminating us but we continue doing the same tit- for – tat is it? And also what we fail to do is looking into ourselves before blaming others and calling names to others. What we like is what pleases the eyes and the ears but often what pleases our ears is not what is right.So I advice to people do not only look for entertainment while watching a movie and do not always pick the vices or the skimpy dressing sense but also try and pickup something meaningful so that you give back to humanity and country what they have given you.
