Religion

Religion is imposed upon a human seed, much before his influx in the womb.

Before his incursion in the quest of food, water and shelter, a burdensome swathe of religion is endowed upon him.

With or without his wishes or temperament, his destiny is made to decide what values he will follow; what God he will bow before;  in what procedure he will marry, with which caste’s mate; which laws will be applicable to him…so much is the level that his last rites are also pre- decided on the same parameters…clarifying whether his carcass will be burnt or buried.

They say, a Hindu’s soul will get solace only if his body is burnt, and so do the Muslims say that a Muslim body must be buried.

From B- for Birth, he ends up getting fused to B- for either Buried or Burnt. 

Inference is, till death, the religion is attached to the dead body… till it is disposed off in the manner provided in the region that bound him throughout his life, before the soul is set free to the skies.

My question is: 


What, when a human who is striked off from the list of humans, dies?

A human with identity, only, possesses a religion 

A human without an identity is presumed to have no religion.

Humans with family, wealth and prosperous destinies possess religion till the time they die and their last rights preformed.

What, in case of a squall of bodies getting perished by famines, calamities or even when trains meet an accident, and bodies disfigured/ displaced/ mutilated…which religion prevails for performing the last rites of the bodies..who asks for the permission of those unclaimed cadavers  and who cares???

That mass of bodies who lie lifeless, some of them probably followed their religions all through their lives displaying it in their eating, marrying, celebrations, attires and language...die just as a "dead body".

The oxford dictionary defines death as, “The event of dying or departure from life; the permanent end of all life functions in an organism or part of an organism, the absence of life or state of being dead.”

A dead body is a dead body…the definition of a dead body doesn’t differentiate between a dead body of a human or a beast, or a bird, or just an emotion…

So, a person is after the religion and not religion after him...Will anybody, other than the heretics agree??

Movie Review- Paa

REVIEW: PAA

An exceptionally huge let down on the part of Amitabh Bacchan re-introduction promos.
Ever green mommish Vidya Balan, with her fixed expression of stealing eyes from her consummated affair’s boyfriend who didn’t marry her after pre-marital sex seems like complaining that she has fed up of bearing illegitimate children, bringing them up all alone (with her parents’ support) and hiding the fact from the child’s father till he reaches her via his own kid and begging before her. (Reference and Evidence: Movie “Hey Baby”)
First half is exceptionally boring where the viewers actually gasp for a good/ humorous/ interesting scene or a turn to come which will bind them from piddling around or checking their messages on cell..
The whole first half is spent waiting for the second half, which too does a no big business.
The only charm of the movie is the kick lines of the school kid, Amitabh and his class mates with some witty experiences exchanged.

Though granted a weak role, but Paresh Rawal manages the scenes allotted to him very well.
Director Balki could do more with the sensitive topic.

The only good thing about the movie is that it avoids the rona dhona upon the mercies throughout in the movie and death of the main lead in the end.

One of the two weaknesses of the movie is that the viewer goes with “tare zamin pe” impression of being touched, and is disappointed of being rather ridiculed on the punch line of “a story on father son relationship”. 
The other weakness being losing the topic while trying to give a social cause or a national message to the viewers by way of Abhishek’s political arenas.

The music is average, lacks good picturisation with below average lyrics.
Abhishek is seen trying to do hard for the scenes, as he anticipated being compared with his reel son, real Dad, hero Paa.

To short, I rate it as an avoidable movie…with 2 out of 5 marks grade
