The Word i Hate !

I hate the word obligation .I hate it as it dilutes the feelings, the emotions.

When you say “obligation” what is it exactly that you are pointing out at? It’s usually pointed out at the emotional angst in which the other person is , probably the loss of words, usually this feeling is because of the thankfulness that is quite difficult to express otherwise. I totally detest this word because it quite conveniently degrades the feeling of respect and thankfulness towards the other person by tagging it as an obligation!

I understand no one helps the other if they do not want or if the other doesn’t deserve the aid, the words like “NO”, and “CANNOT” are coined to help you come out of that kind of a situation. But out of profound respect for someone or something you express your gratitude in case you are helped, it is usually misinterpreted as “Obligation”. I feel this word possesses a strong negative connotation which just surmises the actual feeling of gratification towards the other .

You might not always be feeling “small” or as someone who has been given a charity by being helped, that you tag the emotional outburst as “under the feeling of obligation”. People usually just express a thankful and appreciative gesture, they would want to do something in return, probably repeatedly just say Thanks! This I feel satiates the inner emptiness of not being able to convey the message really being thankful and not being obliged.

Life is all about give and take, helping others making other feel good ,doing good and spreading good. Its all a balanced act , one gives other receives, one gets up and the other falls . We should probably not count who’s done how much and for whom in what capacity, We should keep thanking and respecting the gestures and in turn keeping doing them ourselves. And Stop Calling it as an obligation act .

You need to shout this loud to clarify !

KKKhhhhhhhaaan.... from the epiglottis !

its on your face .... clear neat prim spruced up!
clearly stating the correction ! yep i am talking about the stark emphasis on even the way the word Khan is pronounced . Its an effort! its an initiative ! the didactic way , but probably that was required . Sometimes i feel things are so misinterpreted , that indirect ways of expressing your "right"point are never just enough . That is why the need to advertently postulate the corrections in the interpretations arise.
which is what precisely "My Name is Khan" is all about. what sparked SRK to make the movie was one incident , when he was frisked as procedure for checking at the Newark Airport . It was his , this felt disgrace that lead to the movie where he could not only convey what he felt but also give out something which covered the points of clarification and enunciation of basic Islamic fundamentals , whereby also showing the attributes and traits of an autistic person with aspergus syndrome .

The portrayal of the personality traits of person with this type of disability , proves to show that karan johar has done good homework , understanding indepth of such kind of a disease and making srk not be his usual lover boy .he walked with a funny bent , hopping all around , he never looked in the eyes , he has made irritating noises and given stilted narration , but when you walk out of the theater unlike other times the hero is not on your mind .you move out with thought - GOOD MEN and BAD MEN .

The movie speaks from post 9/11 trauma , afghan and iraq war , katrina , to US presidential elections .It feels as if srk took the baton in his hand to be the 1st one to start an initiative to change the recently twisted mindsets.He might have also earned goodwill in the eyes of his spurious brothers who issued a fatwa against him every now and then if he disrespected Islam . Its like the voice of a sane celebrity who has the power to make the difference because he has the medium by which he can.And it was high time somebody did . He has used this medium well , he has made a strong , bold and courageous effort and i am proud of it .

He has used the innocence of autistic person to convey one of the deepest and simplest fundamentals of humanity .Karan johar has moved above the usual gana bajana and made something that looks sincere .Its not his Kup of Kofee , but i repeat myself "its a stupendous effort".
ï love pakistan"etc comments and agitating shiv sainiks "etc" might be just a publicity stunt no doubt . but Mr khan...(from the epiglotis) this one is totally worth it . Atleast it would make most of the people get up and go and watch .
Am about to end my day today with sad news that stays in my mind about the terrorist attack in Pune . 8 have been killed and 32 injured . Its hurts and i dont know the dynamics and accouterments of what happened and how happened . ALL I KNOW THAT ITS DONE BY BAD PEOPLE .

You need to shout this loud to make this point that we can repair almost everything ,only because we made it , and atleast SRK has succeeded in doing that .

Where mind is without fear ... where fetters are broken .....and my insolence is revered . You are welcome !!!
