Khamoshi

Finally saw Khamosh Pani. Don't know why I had not watched this movie earlier, but anyway, as the popular saying goes der aaye durust aaye. I have to admit it's one of the good movie I saw this week, but the best this week has been Rang De Basanti :)

While watching this movie I was totally taken aback how the religious fanatics change a simple peace loving individual to an aggressor, an extremist. These kind of movies deliver the ideas on the evil propagated in the name of religion, and so should help in keeping the extremists at bay, but sadly it doesn't, and that too on both sides of the border dividing the Indian subcontinent. We all are peace loving individuals, but there have to be some organisation propagating hatred. Is it so hard to counter them ? Sadly again, yes is the answer to this question. How otherwise could anyone explain these terror organisations prospering and growing their headcount exponentially through the ages. I just don't get it, how hard is it to love, and how easy is it to hate.

This makes me wonder, how religious are we really ? Because if we are truly religious then we should understand that each religion preaches peace, not hatred. But we seem hell bent to not learn this basic idealogy while being religious.

Let me again wonder and ask myself, am I religious ? Well if believing in God is being religious then for sure I am religious. Again, is believing in God enough to qualify yourself as being religious, shouldn't one be reading the holy books and go to the temple to worship to be called a religious person. :) Don't have any idea what crap I am writing. I believe these things do happen when the mid sems end.
