"Rendered Aimless"

Aimlessness is a state of mind when one doesn't know where to go , the direction of journey to go ahead. I have been aimless for so long that I can't even remember when I last had a aim for life.I have been walking along at the flow of the incidents I don't know the beginning and the end it just goes on and I go on with it. I know a time will come soon when I'll have to choose and the choice will not be easy to make but until and unless I have the idea of what and where I am going how in the world am I going to decide . Yes goals are very necessary for life ,in life because if no goals have been decided then people like me will land up in soup like I have been into for past few months.

"My name is Khan"

I just came back after watching the movie and apart from the superb acting the character of Mandira played by Kajol struck me as different because of the way she approached the disability (so called) in Shahrukh who was acting as a person who had Asperger syndrome. Most of us in any status of life would generally shun the person, treat him or her with pity or cruelty but never accept him but as in the case of the film Mandira accepts Rizwan completely, treats him not like a mental patient but a human being who is just a little different.
What people in this world have such understanding , will we have such maturity to treat people who if lacking in something are human beings too? How many of have the guts to be friendly to people who are different . How many of us have fallen into the compliance's of our own lives and whenever we see such people either take pity or just remove them from mind. The character of Mandira didn't she actually accepted and whats more didn't like to change it. Not many people have that gut many of us don't even have the the guts to think differently . Buts its a long drawn suffering of the society that whenever a person tries to think differently he or she have been termed as lunatic or genius . And both of these people let me tell you have a very lonely liFe . Do we remember Copernicus who first advanced the theory that it was earth which was revolving round the sun and not the vice versa.Copernicus was tried and found guilty and hanged to death , so did many unknown people , so why do we not accept people who are different. Just think back and recall the latest argument we had was because of a difference of opinions , why did it lead us to an argument because the person in front of was not of the same view , but does that mean the person in front of us is wrong . While dealing with various issues of life we forget that a coin has two sides and maybe the place we are standing just affords us one view and we need to have an open mind to accept the view which is not ours . When us common people don't have the mind to accept different points of view how will we accept people who are different .Why can't we realize that no one is same as the other its just that we God created us differently and being different is not a crime , its just nature's way of showing that God is a original creator . In Paa also it was shown how easily the young students had accepted Auro as a class mate they were friends and this is another thing we must remember that its us who pass our prejudices to our children and we must always be careful that the prejudices should be against bad mentality but not against people as a whole. It also shows that our mind should be like the mind of child who accepts all things as it and doesn't go into the analysis of why how and what. A child will go into the lap of a autistic person as easily it will go into the lap of a mother the difference he feels comes later when he learns to read the body language of the parent .
In the end all I can say is that being different is not a crime ,but treating somebody differently just because they are not same as you is a crime . In India perhaps this conditioning is rather too much and here we need to remove such barriers because " A COUNTRY CANNOT BE MADE FROM ONE TYPE OF PEOPLE IT IS MADE FROM ALL TYPES OF PEOPLE , WITHOUT THE SUBJECTS THERE WILL BE NO KING AND WITHOUT DISCIPLES THERE WOULD BE NO GOD".

Something about brothers and sisters

I have an older brother, he is older to me by three years and as life goes he has played a large part in shaping my life. We began as usual siblings fighting , crying hitting and hurting each other. One thing which always happened with him was that since our parents were working he was always given the task to look after me.I think he resented that task because he was not having the opportunity or freedom to do as he wish , but all that i can remember is that he was there every time I needed him. In nights when I woke up from a nightmare searching for comfort he used to wake up to and reassure me. We fought laughed had fun and other things and then the time came when he left for college . I was happy and sad, happy because I was going to take over his room and sad because now there would be no one to fight with me. His college going marked the change in our relationship because of the distance we came to know what we meant to each other and whenever he used to come back in holidays there was always something little for me .He used to tell me stories which happened which he didn't tell mom and dad
He told me first when he got a F on the subject.then came the day when i left for my innings outdoors and guess what whom I called when I had my first fight with my roomies yes my bro . He calmed me down and told me about his roommates and how he dealt with him and most importantly he explained to me that it was not necessary for me to like everyone and vice versa. We grew closer and now he is my best friend
i believe he cares for me a lot or else why would he spend all the money he got as prize in a national tournament so that he could buy me a walkman as I needed it, who will pledge me half his earning just because I am not earning and who will always be ready to hit or punch any guy tries to mess around with me. Yep thats my bro.I was the first person he called when he reached the magic figure of 5 . Earlier I always used to want sister elder one but now I know I wouldn't need one anyhow because I have an older brother. I really feel sorry for people who don't have siblings because they don't know what they are missing because its a special bond we share. he is first person I call when I am in trouble or angry or sad and he is the first person I call when I am happy thank u god for giving me a brother.

Eddie a maintenance engineer at a seaside resort dies trying to save a girl from a disembarked ride. He goes to heaven and meets five people at all different stages who tell him the meaning of his life and the answers he was looking for. he meets people who have shaped his life and each of them has something to teach him and in the end he realizes the meaning of his life the purpose. The whole story deals with experience of after life it defines what heaven means to each of us . and very subtly it gives the message that heaven is the place we choose to be happy Eddie was never happy at the seaside pier but by meeting these people he came to recognize that this was where he was meant to be , he was chosen by god to be there it was his destiny . and his heaven was the seaside resort because that was where he fulfilled his destiny.
The book has made me a believer in the concepts of fate and destiny because there are a few things in this world which cannot be defined which all of a sudden out of nowhere change the direction of our lives.

This book tells us that each of us is a part of a bigger picture and whether we realise or not our smallest activity actually affects a lot of people . on a more poignant note it also tells us that as a individual we all can make a difference however small and yet live a life which at a cursory glance means nothing but then even a smallest cog is needed to make the wheels turn .
The book made me realise that I should be happy with what I am , Eddie was not he was never at peace with himself it was only when he met the last of the five people he realised that he was what he was meant to be. Not all of us can presidents and other important people but people who do every day job are important too.
This book has made me remember the lines which I have always sought but never got
it goes something like this "no choice is wrong in the gods eye because this was what meant to happen" ah well it I have not got it right but it was something like this . It had something to do with Rahim or Kabir finding his guru
well I diverted from the topic
The end of the book is spectacular because Eddie after getting his five lessons returns to the resort and then he feels like he has come HOME.
