Love Actually(2003)

If you havent seen this film then please please its my humble request to see this one atleast once.If you hate love then watch this movie then you would realise what the word love really means.In this film the director has chosen eight couples and have intrwoven the plot and this all happens just befor the month of christmas.And among these what i liked most was that of Mark who is in love with his friends wife juliet(Keira Knightley).Though he loved ever since they met it was by pure coincidence that juliet happens to be his friends wife.The pain of being a loner in love is clearly depicted.The night i saw the movie i would never forget those touching moments when mark proposes in a funny way (yet the passion of love still in it) just befor christmas.wooooooow..I am really flying high even while writing this.Guys its a movie of a lifetime.

Troy

This is a film which shows the various leaders who evolve according to their condition.THough its an epic where the plot revolves over the main character Achilles(Brad Pitt) the other characters Hector(Eric Bana) and his brother( Orlando BLoom) have their significant role.The king of thesales Agamenon is one who doesnt bother about others.Achilles is willing to die fighting for his mother foretells his future and yet he moves towards the battle of troy.ANd Orlando Bloom Is in Love with Helen and as the saying goes Love is Blind the duffer brings her home and paves the way for the war.The women have done their role adorably.The characters in the appropriate robes look as if they belong to those centuries.All together another warfilm which goes along with Benhur and Gladiator

IS NATIONALISM A BOON OR A CURSE ?

                 

               Nationalism- when one hears this they at once think about their motherland. Everyone consider their homeland to be superior to others in one way or the other. Here we do not talk about the spirit of one’s nationalism but bearing it in mind that is nationalism A BOON OR A CURSE? It would be wrong to see nationalism as either an unmitigated evil or a universal virtue. It can be both a boon and a curse, depending on the circumstances such as two sides of the same coin. Nationalism tends to be negative when people confront each other along the lines of national divisions whereas it can be productive enough when social divisions and hostilities tend to be based on other identities such as religion, community or ethnicity. Central to understanding the contingent viability of the role of nationalism is the need to see nationality as one identity among many that we all have.

               But we must never forget that even we come from different races, color, caste, religions, creed, our hearts beat as one. So let us keep aside our spirit of nationalism when the circumstances make it a terrible curse, and deliberate it when it would be a great boon. There is no mystery in the variability and contingency of the effects of nationalism. But there certainly is a firm invitation here to think and reason and scrutinize before we decide what to do.
