The Movie which I watched and loved lately :


Oh my God, I could not ask a better Gift than this! Certainly critics don't rate this movie high when compared with Bruce Almighty. But I am quite convinced that this movie will stay in my memories forever. Such a nice movie on God's love, human relations and so on..

Some of the funniest dialogues are : Evan(steve carell) after acknowledging God's love and his commands to build an ark goes through a psychological struggle with this family members. His wife and three kids leave the home leaving Evan to question God's love. Suddenly he asks, "Wouldn't you God ? please , love me less."

When Morgan Freeman(God) speaks to Evan's wife in a cafeteria, those scenes and words of wisdom are celestial and charming. Nothing could replace that part.

It is a must watch, i would give a 9/10 hmmm...

Well I am planning to watch 40 year old virgin too... :-)

The World's Fastest Indian


I happened to watch this wonderful movie named, "The Worlds Fastest Indian." It's about a Newzealand chap's passionate journey of following his heart- building a race bike - all by himself- and making it count in the international motor show held at USA.

His old age(64) or the angina associated with his ageing does not deter his attitude towards the race.The dignity and pride associated with his work makes him oblivous of its outcomed. My perspective has already changed on how I look at people doing mean jobs(meagre wages) around me. I have always pitied them for their destitute situation, and the restricted resources with which they have to ride their life. But now I learn that nothing is mean or rude unless you do it without interest or just for the sake of money. So I urge you all to follow your hearts.When you were created by God, he definitely had a purpose in mind and engraved it in your minds too. When you get a chance to choose between heart and brain, choose wisely.

But the way Burt Munro(Anthony Hopkins) looked on his life was peculiar as well as charming. He didn't even have the luxury of buying tickets to USA -- to exhibit his bike there. But still he kept on working, reminding that God will certainly open a door for him. Then after several hardships, he made it to the place and went to impeccable glory by fulfiling his dream. He recorded the highest speed(201 mph?) ever and that record stands still today (source:Wiki). It was a true story in case you haven't figured it our before.
