Kuch Kuch Hota Hai


Rahul and Anjali are students in a college in India. Anjali is attracted to Rahul but he only sees her as his best friend. They play basketball together and both have a fierce competitive attitude.
Then, along come Tina, another Indian girl, who catches Rahuls heart instantly. Tina, unknowingly, comes between Anjali and Rahul. She recognizes that Anjali is in love with Rahul but is unable to do anything to stop her own love for Rahul. Anjali leaves the college, using a sick family member as her excuse, which leaves Rahul bitter towards her for abandoning him.
Tina and Rahul get married and they lead a blissful life. Soon, Tina gets pregnant and gives birth to a baby girl who she names Anjali, in honor of Rahuls once-best friend. Shortly after their daughters birth, Tina dies, leaving Rahul alone to look after Anjali. He does a fairly good job at this, and Anjali grows up in his care. Before Tina dies, she writes a series of eight letters to her daughter, to be given to her on each of her first birthdays. On Anjalis 8th birthday, she learns, from the final letter, about the older Anjali and her love for her dad. In the letter, her mother is asking her to help reunite Rahul and Anjali as theirs was a love interrupted and it must be rekindled. The little girl, Anjali, sets forth on the task of bringing them together with the help of her grandmother, unsure if her dad will even accept another woman to take his late wife's place.
This movie is an amazing tale of love and sacrifice.
It is a MUST-WATCH!!

Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna


Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna was, in its own right, a great movie staring Amitabh Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta, Abhishek Bachchan and Kirron Kher.

President Barack Hussein Obama

WHAT A LOVELY DAY!!



BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA WAS JUST SWORN INTO OFFICE
AS THE FOURTY-FOURTH PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
TODAY MARKS THE BEGINING OF A NEW JOURNEY!!

OH YEAH, AND IT SNOWED OVERNIGHT, SO EVERYTHING IS BLANKETED IN WHITE!!

Obama Inauguration


You know, I was sitting here watching the inauguration and noticed something curious. When the outgoing president was introduced, he was called President George Walker Bush. When the incoming president was introduced, he was called President-Elect Barack H. Obama. Now, what do you see within this information, that strikes you as odd? My only question is this... Is Obama ashamed of his middle name or was it done without him knowing? In my opinion, a name is simply a name, so why should it matter if they call him President-Elect Barack HUSSEIN Obama? Fear? Of what? My last name has Arabic origins and I am not afraid to use it. A name doesn't make the person, the person makes the name!!!

Kabhi Kushi Kabhie Gham


This is the first indian movie I saw and, to this day, it is still the best! It has all the greats! Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Shahrukh Khan, Kajol, Hrithik Roshan, Kareena Kapoor and Rani Mukerji combine together to create the highest grossing Indian film until Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna stole the spotlight.

Daily Sentiment!

I'm feeling relief at the ceasefire and sadness at all the lifes that were lost to reach this point.

Gaza Genocide Aftermath


I just keep looking at this photo and think, "My God, what if that was me and my children with my husband leaning over us in mourning?!" That poor woman and her babies... what suffering. It breaks my heart into a million little pieces. God, kiss their cheeks and take them home where they belong.

Inspired!

I was browsing through some blogs when I came across Wishing For Wings That Work. On this blog, I watched the video you see below and was inspired to write a short poem. I am certainly not a poet, but I am entranced by the beautiful moves of dance accompanied by a beautiful voice. I hope you can appreciate it as I do.





Entranced
By: Nurse Nightingale

My ears, my eyes, my soul
held captive by such poise
The flow of graceful body
The fluidity of molten voice.

Wrapped in a sensual sound,
enveloped in a velvety shroud
in a realm of beauty
where I've been allowed

The chance to be lured
by voice, into a trance
of fluidity of body
flowing in a carnal dance.

A Message From A Baby

Look into my eyes...
Tell me, what do you see?
A terrorist?
A threat to your community?
I am only a BABY.
