More than just black n' white ~

Be careful what you wish for this Christmas!

Reel Tour

The clock just clicked 12:00 am in Houston, Texas and I just returned after driving 40 miles one way to go watch the movie. The ride back from the theatre from I-10W to 288 South was rather quiet, with thoughts flowing with tensed intensity, as tears fogged up the sparkling Christmas lights through the dashboard. Memento had left me feeling disappointed and confused and with a doggie-bag of headache pills. Ghajini satisfied my need for a more focussed theme of 'Revenge' while keeping the psychological thriller alive. In short I was pleased by the way the story line was set in Ghajini except for the intense amount of violence that I did not foresee (my bad tho as I should've guessed with all the body building promos). However, I would not like to discredit the strong emotions being displayed through all the snorting, snarling and screams that portrayed a great paradigm of true frustration.

Revenge has always been a theme of my liking as it magnifies the endurance of the human body when emotions cord with the mind to achieve a single goal. On the whole I enjoyed the movie, I loved Aamir's acting as usual (probably a lot more convincing this time as an action hero). Asin was great and her character truly touched my heart. I personally did love Aamir's Bohemian look in the orange rolled up t-shirt and the purple shirt in the song 'Behka', reminded me a lot of Mark Kanemura from 'So you think you candance'. All in all, I liked the movie, Aamir did a great job, but he does owe me a happy movie now!

A Touch of Solace.

In times of hate in times of war,
We all seem to be jumbled in a time so lost.
We wake up each morning wondering what’s next,
In hopes of making this day better than the rest.
Is it so hard to move in peace?
To forgive, forget and live not like beast?
I hope we learn to care some day
To make this world a little less gray
I am no one but one sole human being,
Trying to find light amidst the unseen.
But one person at a time is all it takes
Before we know it’ll be the whole human race
Change is permanent among all in store
So why not change the world gone so cold
So please join hands and bring some warmth
And give this world what it has lost.
A child of love, a child of peace
A child that could nurture the greatest beast.

Faith ~ isn’t found it is nurtured within you.

The Mirror Speaks

~ Nobody

Forever in peace

A face in the subway
Shies away from the horde
In hopes through despair
She waits for her lover aboard

Her eyes seek patiently
From one stop to the next
While holding on to the railing
With every single breath

A man passes her by
Trying to look into her eyes
She gives a blank glance
As he loses his poise

A shiver runs down her soul
When she finally sees
Her lover with flowers
Behind the doors of steel

They kick off their heels
When they hug in deep embrace
With no worries nor shame
Just a little cry from within

The had been lost for years
In the midst of war
Palestine, Israel
They had seen it all

Had they not wept
For years & years on
For their eyes were soar
But their love evermore strong

A beautiful journey
Was to beget
As the train passed them by
Departing a sigh

What a taste of relief
It was to be
When suddenly the planes crashed
In New York City

They rushed for shelter
Amongst the crowd
But their they stood
In the heat of it all

Running away from wars
Was no great defeat
For the wars followed them
All the way from Mid-east

Their story ended
Far away from home
Under the rumble
Lay two departed souls
