A letter to GOD

Dear GOD,

First of all, my deep regards to you, and thanks for being the Generator, Operator & Destroyer of this Universe. I am so thankful to you for sending me on this earth in the times when Greats like Sachin Tendulkar, Shahrukh Khan & Aamir Khan are in the top notch form, and i am so lucky to share this earth with such wonders.

People go to temples to pray in front of you, when they are in some problem. But you have programmed me in such a way that i rarely go to temples. But yes, i am in a very big problem. So i thought of writing a letter to you, and hope that my problem gets solved.

People say YOU are one, its true, i admit. But to help every creature on this earth, it is a formidable task for YOU to be present everywhere. So you have sent your agents in the form of FRIENDS to help people. I am also a very lucky person to have such wonderful friends.

But among all these friends of mine, i had a friend whom i considered to be YOU only. Every decision in my life, i used to take by consulting this friend(further referred to as X). I used to rever X, and blindly follow the decisions X took for me. I considered myself very lucky to have YOU in my life.

But as they say, tere khel tu hi jaanta hai bhagwan...

Recently, It was my day, the most wonderful day in my life. The best of my friends sitting with me, and i am enjoying with them. Suddenly, i say such CRUEL words, and to whom, to X, and the result is that, X has departed from my life.

The thing is that, if i had said these words, if i meant even 1% of what i said, toh koi dukh ki baat nahi thi. But i don't know why and from where these words came out of my mouth, but isse pehle ki i could control the situation, paani sar ke upar ja chuka tha..

Now when i talk to or text to X, sometimes, i do get responses, but i know, that in X's heart, i am nowhere. All the respect i had gained since all these years, is gone with just a single stroke.

Now, what do i want from YOU?
GOD, i just want you to please convey my message to my friend that what i said, i didnt mean any of those words. Kehte hain na ki bure waqt me bande ka dimaag kharab ho jata hai, maybe the same thing happened to me that day.
I apologise to my friend for doing what i have done. I hope YOU will make my friend understand that i am not a wrong person at heart, or a wrong guy to be friends with.
Now only YOU can help me GOD. Please make my relationship with X, the same pristine way, as it was earlier. Because undoubtedly, those were the best days of my life, when i had such wonderful friends.

Regards
Y.
X's Friend.

Movie Review: PaathShaala

PaathShaala is a path-breaking film, there is no doubt about it.. I wish my path would have broken before entering the multiplex to watch this awesome movie..
A question to Shahid...WHY MAN WHY?? why did u do this to yourself, and to ur followers and the so-called bechari audience..Did u read the script properly.. I mean, you are good actor man..
If you want to enjoy your weekend, i strongly suggest you NOT to watch this movie, else your weekend will be devastated and you will regret paying the money for purchasing the ticket of this movie..
Here is what happens on the screen and with you in the hall..
By the way, first time, i entered the hall 15 mins late, and now i thank God that i was saved from the torture for 15 mins.
Shahid joins SVM school as English Teacher, but also starts teaching music to children out of passion, and on request of Ayesha Takia (purely wasted in the movie).. The school is under financial pressure from the management, so it starts charging exhorbitantly from the kids.. The principal (Nana Patekar, the only saviour in an otherwise poor show of acting by everyone else, except shahid) is bound to follow the management decision, even though it turns out in the end that he was against it from the beginning only.
In the end, as usual, the hero encourages the students to do a strike and wake up the managment, and succeeds.
Now the problem with this movie is that none of the subplot is handled properly. The direction could not be poorer than this. The screenplay is pathetic. Music is so-so. All the dialogues are very predictable.. There is no story in the movie. No chemistry between the hero-heroine.

The recess (interval) occurs in barely 40 mins from the start of the movie, and you feel like cheated..

All in all, worst movie of the current decade, if not century.
If i had a choice, i would take the stars from the movie, but as a reviewer, if i have to give it stars, i can't afford more than a half star..
Better luck next time..
And a suggestion to shahid..dude, read the script properly before doing a project..
