Hey every one, just watched James Cameron's Movie "Avtar". The writer and director James Cameron has pulled it off once again. I am going Ga ga over the movie from the moment I stepped out of the theater. The movie's got it all, thriller, romance, tragedy, emotion, chase, action......and above all the soul. The movie I beleive goes one step ahead rather than just showing good action sequences or animation to its audience. Its basic purpose is to convey very important message to mass. One message no doubtedly is to protect mother nature. She is taking all our discards from eons. The day she starts to return the favour mankind might go back into darkages. We have to stop... stop now, or the fresh air we are breathing may be poison for our children. our children may never see a live wildlife... for there may not be forest.
The other message which is hidden deep inside the movie is..... how one culture over powers the other just because they can. I can relate to it as I see how the right is crushed down just because they are minority or weak, The trusted flesh becomes the enemy. How every one begin to watch there own backs.
Its rightly said the coin's got two sides my friends. question is which side are you on?
The movie has two sides too..one so called Human ( although doesnt show humanity ) and alien race who are residing in there own world content and in accordance with nature. Humans technically much advanced after consuming earth set there greedy eye on vast resources of the aliens. Well if we see this in our rela life....it isnt too far from reality. Fight may not be between Humans and aliens...but its definitely between cultures and regions.... Its already begun..Iraq, Chechniya, Kuwait, Afghanistan, In india too (Kashmir, Assam, Nagaland, Andhrapradesh )etc
Each culture thinks its right and others are wrong. Due to this, the human has lost the very meaning of the word HUMAN. We see One country over powering the regime of some other country or aid the two countries with heavy weaponry and then provide humanitarian aid. Are we all blind to all this? dont we all have souls to answer back? the one who stands against is named terrorist and entire clan is wiped out in the name of peace and democracy. Little do they understand so called freedom in there land may not be the same in others. And they have no right to interfere in other cultures.
The concept of culture is vast and very difficult tounderstand. We often mistake culture with religion. Religion is something spiritual and culture is in tandemn with society or way of life. Unless you ( the reader) are open minded to others culture we younever understand below example.
Lets take an example of 3 women from different cultures. A girl in Bikini from US , Indian girl in sleevelss kurta and a woman from saudi in Abaya (burkha) all sitting on a beach enjoying the sunset. The American girl thinks how can Saudi and Indian girl be fully clad and heavy habiliments on such a beautiful day like this and not enjoy the sea and beach. Dont they like the Sun tan , boddy massages? what a low life!!....... Now Indian women thinks how easily the girl from US is showing her skin to others without any shame and on the contrary how this saudi women is able to breath in her Abaya ( Burkha) and how deprived she is from freedom of clothes. While the Saudi women is thinking how is US and Indian women are not covering them selves fully and being a show piece for the public on the beach - what will they achieve by showing their skin and attracting men who dont even matter to them?
The above paragraph is a very small example of how we are confined in our own cultures and fail to see others point of view. All 3 are women are in a same place, watching the sunset. When God created Sun he ordered it to bestow its light on all regardless of there culture or religion or region. The land the 3 women were sitting was created by God which is provided for all the 3 women equally to sit or stand. When God's creation dont differentiate between humans regardless of there backgrounds, you think God will ... just beacause you follow particular way of life? You think God is so low as to neglect the person who lived his life righteously but didnt follow one particular way of life or religion agianst a rapist or a criminal just because he follows one particular way of life? I doubt it.
The message the movie tried conveying which without a surprise will go unnoticed by mass is..... Stop forcing your culture on others. They have there own way of living... has its own beauty. Let it be. It may seem savage or barberic to you, but doesnt make it wrong. You know why???? its because you are not the one who is judging....HE is.... the Alpha... the One..... The GOD. Let him do his part , you do yours..... i.e love

Destiny
It is said that our destiny is already written. We are just following what is already directed. The script is already written we are just actors who are narrating the dialogues.
In this movie called life where everyone is Some one with no importance despite being in the lead role infact we donot realise that there is no actual lead role. Every one has his or her own agenda in life. Every one's aspirations conflict with every one, so much so that we are more bothered about how to spoil others aspiration instead of building are own. Ironically most endeured aspirations contradict with the aspirations of the most loved ones. And the director laughs at it and the anticlimax begins to draw its curtains. And bamm!!!! the life catches you off guard in a cross road.
If destiny is pre written then why does life brings us again and again to the place where your loved ones are to be given assurance how much you love them, or care for them. Why is it that of all the people in the world your loved ones want a sacrifice at every stage to prove that you are worthy of there love?
The emotional turmoils that follow after crossing these cross roads are so excruciating and abhorring that you start loosing the flavour of happiness in life. The milestones that are crossed are epitaphs of something or some one you really loved.Its either your loved one's relation that is rests in those tombs or its your aspiration.
They say to win the war you have to loose few battles. That’s right; but how much thought is given to the soldiers who are slaughtered in the front line of battles which were never meant to win? So what if few people are crucified, the General gets stars on his shoulders and medals on his chest anyway.
I have been reading this book of life from last 28 years, in search of destiny; ironically it brings me to the same old crossroad and laughs at me. As Metallica song goes " Here I am on the road again, Here I am up on the stage, There I go to be a star again, There I go to turn the page." I have been trying to turn a new leaf at every cross road. Giving the best performance that I can. In the end I always figure that I am Unique like every one else. Iam lead star like every one else. And no matter how I perform in the end it really doesnt matter.
When I turn back the pages of my life, I see I have attained nothing but emptiness in life. Talk everything under the sun...... but when I see myself in the mirror I see a hypocrite, a looser and a non-achiever.
I kept comparing my self to be a lone ship trying to find its shore. Little did I realise Ships never stays at shore. It has to keep moving and one day sink into the depths of the oceans. I can feel that day is not very far. Because I already see the holes in my ship. Its just a matter of time when the captain surrunders to cyclones of life. And destiny will bring me to that very place where my end is written and I would sink onto the darkness and fade away.
