The Dark Knight.

SO I went to watch the move Dark night. My god i was shocked. See i expected it to be a typical batman movie. Lots of shooting lots of killing. Lots of ppl dead. OK so in a way i was right. But u see this was one of the few movies that actually had a message. The director(Christopher Nolan) is brilliant. He had a point to make, and he made it so brilliantly. Directors are like the authors of books. They are the ones who tell the story. Actors, well they do what they are told. Its the directors interpretation that matters the most.

The Dark Knight. The message beautiful. Its about love. Its about honour Its about society that still has a chance at being saved(shown in the ferry scene). Its about trust. Its about knowing that those whom you love, love you back, thought sometimes not in the way that you might want them to.

See Batman had a decision to make. He loves Racheal. He will do anything to save her.
But he is first Batman. And second Bruce Wayne. He knows that she loves Dent. He saves Dent. His grief, his sadness at her demise is pronounced. Like a man whose fury knows no bounds, Batman, chases the Joker relentlessly.

The Joker. Another most interesting character. He experiments. Social experiments he calls them. He is a wise man. He is highly intelligent. He knows the weaknesses of man. He picks only those schizophrenic patients to be his cronies. He offers them not money. No not money. Monay has no value to a schizophrenic. No. He offers them the chance of control over their own depraved minds. He offers them sanctuary from the constant nagging in their head that will not lieave them alone. He tells them that he will " make the voices go aways and put on lights, Bright lights" in their heads. Perhaps he is one of them. Which is why he knows exactly what to offer them. It is only when the joker underestimates the inherent goodness of mankind that he falls. He sees the prisoners as animals. People who will kill and stop at nothing to meet their gain. He sees the people of the town as thie who are decadent of emotion when it comes to saving their own skins. He sees what he is himself in the people around him.
To me, it is one of the most powerful messages of the movie, when neither side blows up the other, Clearly showing all of us that the inherent nature of human beings is goodness. Human beings, placed in any situation, will make the right choice. Morale is planted in human beings. We are basically people with the presence of the intellect. We understand that our actions DEFINE who we are. Human beings are inherently good. peopl who society has cast aside as Social outcasts, realise that this is their one redeeming point. Look at it this way. Every single on of the people on those two ferries are forever indebted to the people on the other ferry who literally SAVED their lives. The Joker had unwittingly planted a seed of societal conscience in the society.

Harvey. Harvey sybolyses the side of man that is unsound. He represents the ugly side of man. His coin, which he keeps flipping shows clearly, that man is of two sides. Like any of the Almighty's creations, man comes in opposites. However, Man being the most complex of the Lord's creations, has both opposites contained in himself, As Harvey Dent clearly shows us. He has, the White Knight part of him, harvey Dent DA. The man to clean up the dirty streets. He also has within himself, contained the evil part. The part of him that is capable of the Ultimate crime, murder.

See it is mans decisions, in dire, most unpredictable, most severe, heart wrenching moments that define who he truly is. The people of the boa defined themselves, Bruce Wayne defined himself, Gordon defined himself, and Harvey Dent defined himself. There is immense truth in the saying actions speak louder then words.

The movie is one that truly touched me. It gives hope. Hope for man. Hope that man can and will salvage what is left of his dignity. Hope that after the darkest night, comes the dawn. Hope that we all will be Dark Knights. Hope that we will be what is necessary at a a particular point in time. Hope that the inherent goodness of man will surface and reign supreme.

Lunch With Nigel and Leena

Ahh... a FUN day!! I had lunch with Nigel and Leena today.. They came over today! It was fun!! First in the morning, Leena and me, we went to Tesco, and we bought the stuff to cook. We came abck to my house at about 10.30am and then we started cooking. Leena Made the spaghetti and I made the Garlic Bread and Pizza. Nigel finally arrived at 11.20, late cos apparently he had an "international" call!! We all know who that was from!!

So when Nigel finally came... he made the salad, and the soup. I tell you that boy has no idea how to make a salad. For starters, Leena and me cut all the stuff for the salad. All he had to was TOSS the salad!. SO i handed him the salad dressing. His first problem. The salad dressing wouldnt come out of the bottle! So what does the genius do? he sticks the back of the fork into the bottle to get the dressing out. Then he drops the fork into the basin!!!
2. He doesnt want to use another fork to toss the salad! So what does he do? He sticks his hands into the basin and MIXES the salad!!! So disgusting!!




LOLOLOLOL
we had so much fun!! too bad it was only the three of us though. The rest of the gang, Van, Shobi, Janine, and Gajen, all were not around or couldnt make it. VAn was working. Sera couldnt come from the KAMPUNG. Shobi left for UNi in India d. Janine left for uni in Australia, and Gajen... well... Gajen couldnt come la.


18 months. We grew so close in the last 18 months. People we hardly knew at the begining became best friends. I'm gonna miss them!!!


BUT todays lunch was SOOOOO much fun! After eating, we played monopoly. Nigel won, followed by Subash, and then Me and then Leena. The at 4, Leena had to go. So we walked her to the door, and Nigel brought out the GUNS!!!!!! (water guns). LOL. We filled it up and all.. and then Leena jumped in her car and wound up the window. So we shot at her car instead!. LOL

All in alll it was a FUN FUN FUN day!!!

CARPE DIEM....SLipped

I came accross this poem, a very beatiful insight to life. Two words came to mind. Carpe Diem. Seize the day. Let no opportunity pass you by. some times though i wonder. Would it be less hurtful to let opportunity pass you by? Ignore it. Do absolutely nothing. Maybe,Just maybe it will make things alot less painful. Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. I think this poem is absolutely beautiful. Maybe just maybe, someone else thinks its beautiful too.
Slipping...Slipping Slipped.


If you are ever going to love me; love me now.
While I can know the sweet and tender feelings
from which true affections flows.

Love me now while I am living. Do not wait until I am gone.
To have those sweet words chiseled in marble on ice-cold stone.

If you have tender thoughts of me, please let me know now.
Not when I am not there.

So... CARPE DIEM!!
