A thought came up in my mind when I heard Sarah Palin on TV yesterday. She said that what American soldiers are fighting for in Iraq or anywhere else was what God intended them to do...it was God's will that we are fulfilling. Several thoughts popped up in my mind after that. Think about it...if God wants us to kill each other then he probably doesn't want the human race to flourish. Can that be true? Its a very complex thought. And it gives me shivers. Since the past couple of months I have read a few books (philosophical) and I have loved all of them. I am going to quote and refer the concepts in those books. "The Alchemist" says that everything in the universe speaks a universal language, all events are inter-related and each one of us has a role to play which was given to us by God. He will show you the signs so that you can achieve your destiny (your fortune) and all we have to do is understand that universal language and follow the signs. But the question here i...
A person is living in the USA for 30 yrs but spent the first 22 years of his life in Pune. Where do you think his loyalties should be? And where do you think his loyalties would be? I first asked this question to myself when I heard Raj Thakarey accusing the Bachchan's about their loyalties to Maharashtra and how they are socially more concerned about UP (their home state) than Maharashtra. A huge argument followed amongst various groups in the state and I believe in every immigrant's minds. I am an immigrant to the USA but originally from Pune, Mahrashtra.

This is what I call mother's bond. Wherever you go and settle down most people always have that feeling in their minds...oh what did I do for the place that made me what I am today, that made be capable of the respect I get in a ...
Today, I want to share my love for cinema and how it captures my heart with its authentic emotions and depth of feeling. When I find myself deeply drawn to something, I often ask myself a fundamental question: "What part of me is resonating with this? Which part of me feels complete because of it? And why, if at all, do I feel incomplete without it?" Since childhood, cinema has fascinated me. It transports me to another world, immerses me in its reality, and leaves me changed. Some films create such an impact that I feel unable to return to everyday life. Recently, two movies— The Idea of You and Red, White & Royal Blue , both on Prime Video—had that effect on me. The actor who captivated me was Nicholas Galitzine. His performance left such an impression that it compelled me to write this piece. Galitzine is devilishly handsome, with a chiseled face, expressive eyes, amazing hair, and a smooth, silky voice that he uses beautifully to sing. I watched him play very differe...
