I like Mamma Mia

My all time favorite action films are Speed and Die Hard 3. My favorite comedy is Mamma Mia which I saw recently. It's the most entertaining film of recent times. I liked Vantage Point too. But The Sound of Music is one film I would've watched a 130 times or more I'm sure. Even when I was 14, I would've seen it over 50 times. First, because of the songs. You feel at home every time you watch. Julie Andrews hasn't been as good in any other film after Sound of Music. Among Indian films, Lagaan is a film I would like to watch again and again.

About Wildlife

I regret to say that cruelty towards animals has reached the maximum level.This is clear from the fact how a weak,emaciated and skinny bull pulls the cart loaded with tonnes of weight. The cart owner mercilessly beats and prods his stick into its frail and thin body.Similarly,there are numerous deserted animals like cows dogs and donkeys roaming on the roads.Many of them have open wounds.Some are so diseased that looking at them fills us with the feeling of disgust.I fail to understand how we have become so insensitive to these animals.This indeed a sorry tale of the indifference of the owners towards these domestic animals.I feel shocked to see how badly these animals are treated.Animal life forms an indistinguishable part of human life.Animals render inexplicable services but we are so callous towards them that we don't bother for their welfare.There are hospitals for them.Yet the owners don't bother to take care of them in time illness.I urge the authorities would take strict action against the owners who ill treat the animals.

An Interesting Story

The most intelligent story I have heard so far is as follows. An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his situation. Dear Son, I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden, because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison. Love, Dad …..Shortly, the old man received this telegram:

"For Heaven's sake, Dad, don’t dig up the garden!! That's where I buried the GUNS!" At 4a.m. The next morning, A dozen FBI agents and local police officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns. Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do next. His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes, Dad. It's the best I could do for you from here."

Moral of the Story
"No matter where you are in the world, If you have decided to do something deep from your heart, you can do it. It is the thought that matters not where you are or where the person is."
