PK – A Succinct View

I couldn't find any better way of recommending a movie than simply saying: Indeed, It’s a Must Watch. 

Rarely, we come across such an adept story, crafted with perfection, and meticulously executed by all the actors. The way with which the story evolves/unfolds and the link between various scenes' is immaculately remarkable. Impeccable blend of humor and emotion is conspicuously visible, from the very beginning of the celluloid.

PK is unveiling a reality behind the misuse of apparent means of various religions. It is in no way questioning the sanctity of any religion. However, PK is factual to question on the exercise of various corrupt means practiced by the so called priests, to reach to the God. It's enlightening people of what they are doing vis-à-vis in quest of God's approval / sanction, and is in no way detrimental to any faith. It neither disputes the existence of God, nor does it despises praying, it only divulges the malpractices committed by the so called managers of religions, who think they are managing the company (religion) by setting the rules, regulations and code of conduct - based out of an offshore location; all because of their self-centric profit making business – the institution of religion shouldn't be debased. I believe no one can claim to represent, or is authorized (by God) to hold people accountable for the decree of God. 

Every bit and shot of PK has a meaning attached to it. Indeed, it should act as an eye opener to all those who blindly believe in all the claimed religious geeks. 

If a person belonging to any religion or faith does wrong or promotes self-interest over and above the people's interest, that shouldn't become the cause of maligning the religion but the person who indulge in such a practice. Ways shouldn't bring disrespect to the ends, actions of selected claimants’ jeopardize the image of ends. 

Undoubted Kudos to the film maker, for bringing in the naked alien to make people cognize the reality of what’s happening. Ironically, we are always surrounded by all this, and still aren't able to crystallize our well-dressed vision. It’s paradoxical and poignant too, on our part. 

At last, I would like to state, those who protest PK haven't really understood what it says, and they might be feeling threatened because of all the revelations made in the movie about their (protesters) allegedly dubious role in the respective religion. 

Thank You

Welcome 2015 – Happy New Year

While thinking through the past year, we should easily be able to inscribe the portions of happiness, melancholia, inspirational stints, and desolation witnessed during the bygone year. 

The 'Learning' ought to be the only constant with all the above situations. Whatever happens to us or whichever state we go through, irrespective of how positive or negative that may be – learning has to be the major take away. Past year was an experience, and the learning derived out of that experience is tangibly / intangibly fructuous for us, for posterity. 
New Year is not only the time of celebration to welcome the upcoming year but it's a festivity to treasure / cherish the past year, to thank the bygone for all the moments. Moreover, to charge ourselves towards an unrelenting pursuit of our aspirations, to take a vow of staying motivated and enthusiastic for the year ahead. 

Wishing you all a very happy 2015. May we all stay motivated, inspired, and workaholic enough to support our vision. At this juncture, the minimum we can do is – Hope; let’s all hope for the good health, happiness and success, and keep in mind the fact that hopelessness is a sin. 

Happy New Year 2015

Thank You
