Appreciation For Life

Do you have a feeling that life is not giving you what you deserves?
Life is ignoring you,you are going to fail at everything, you are not
smart enough or good enough to live this life?

                      well,may be what you don't have is not the
blessings of life,but a mind to appreciate it,to appreciate this
gorgeous and priceless gift from God;your life!

          yes!ofcourse life is quirky,it have unexpected twists and
turns,Highs and lows,Life is able to put you in both euphoria and
depression.sometimes you feel like the king of the world and sometimes
deeply humiliated.But whatever path life takes,whatever battle raging
inside us,we always have a choice,our choices makes us who we are and
we can always choose to be the best.

               Most of the time we are living our life blind folded,we
are not able to look at its beauty or don't have time to appreciate
it.The only thing we want to do is to earn.we are subconsciously
engaged in a race.A race to earn more wealth,More Assets,A white
collar job,social status and a group of dumb people their only job is
to praise us no matter whatever blunder we do and one day in the
morning we will woke up only to realize that this whole life was a big
lie and we were puppets who always wanted to follow the illusions in
the society,not reality and society pulled the strings.

                The only way to live our life at its fullest is to
submit our body and soul to the abundant energy source,the
creator,Almighty God.We have to feel it and experience it.He is the
one who loves people who turns their heart to him in repentance and he
is the only one who will never give upon us.

                  Life may put us through the greatest difficulties
but in order to overcome those,we should keep an innocent mind of
appreciation,A will to appreciate each and everything that God gives
us in life,Both positive and negative.And who knows? Maybe we have to
go through some of the bitter experiences to become strong and to have
a concrete mind which is not going to get easily destroyed.The same
happens to an iron rod,to be in its hardest form it must go through
the red hot fire.

               when it comes to appreciation,there are so many in our
life which deserves its appreciation from us.The first ray of sunlight
which hits our face each and every morning,our home,our parents..the
greatest parents in the world,our brothers and sisters,that friend who
is always there to welcome us with a smile.From the cool breeze on a
rainy day to each and every raindrop which hits your face.In reality
we don't have time to stop and think about these unique things that
life gave us.What we only have is the mentality of a blinded beggar
who is only interested in counting his coins day after day.There is an
old saying "If life gave you a lemon,make a lemonade" and simply that
is what we should do.

            The vital element in leading a successful life is our
belief.we should believe that whatever happens everything is going to
end well,if not ,greater and better things are on its way to our life
and God have great plans for us that may we don't even realize.


                  it is important not to listen to negative opinion
and negative thoughts.Those are the biggest barriers in leading a
peaceful and confident life.Negative thoughts are able to shatter our
life in seconds,will turn us from everything to nothing.God is the
endless positive energy.so if we have a negative thought in our mind,
we must turn to him and ask for his guidance and help.And he loves
those who wants guidance from him.

             you are not born to become a loser,you are unique and God
has given you more blessings than you can even imagine.Be thankful,be
confident and always keep a graceful mind to appreciate the things you
have now.So that one day you show to the world that you are born to do
great things in your life.




So Verily,with every difficulty,there is relief
                     [Holy Qur'an 94:5]

My Review Of Hungergames Mockingjay Part 2: Final Arrow To The Heart!

Time ...... time flies away so quickly even before we realise it, It is hard to believe that its been an year since I posted my review of Mockingjay part 1 in this very same blog!

                   One year and many things have changed. No matter what change in our lives there is one thing which don't change. One thing which stays the same that is "Hope", and it's the very same hope katniss shows throughout in this movie..Hope for a better tomorrow!

              To be frank the Hungergames: Mockingjay part 2 the finale of the much loved franchise falls short when compared to the finales of other similar franchises like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 2 and Breaking Dawn part 2. There are moments while watching this I wished if it was directed by David yates Who made Deathly Hallows part 2 irresistible to the senses, its been 4 years and still pictures of waiting in front of cinema hall never minding the heavy rain and applauding wholeheartedly once the movie got over stays fresh in my brain,  what made Deathly Hallows part 2 unforgettable was its soul which the director skillfully breath into it.. it's the very same soul which lacks in Mockingjay part 2

                   With that being said,Mockingjay part 2 is never a disaster it is an engaging movie with some really amazing action sequences. Is it a good movie? Of course it is but it could have been alott better!

             The movie Picks up from the exact spot which the part 1 ended, showing katniss gradually recovering from peeta's vocal chord crushing grasp (with some bruises I would add) movie quickly cuts into the district 2, the path way to the Capitol and the hollow mountain controlled by the Capitol named "The nut"

           Thankfully Liam Hemsworth portrays a very charming Gale a solid mercenary, scenes which shows his innovative traps and questionable methods in which katniss shows some serious concern are interesting to watch especially that scene where they "crack the nut" using hovercrafts!

                The action sequence where I really found myself invested in was that exhilarating fight between katniss and her teammates with those mutts (mutated creatures) a breathtaking set piece which ends in Finnicks death. It is hard to find an actor this suitable to a role like sam claflin to finnick, you can't resist yourself from rooting for his every move and to feel a lump in your throat when he dies.  Sam claflin easily made the role his own with his effortless yet top notch acting. The Capitol is now filled with explosive pods. Which will devastate anyone who cross it within moments. "Welcome to the 76th Hungergames" the funniest dialogue in such an intense movie like this really made me chuckle!!!

                  Don't forget this a movie which features 4 Oscar winning actors! katniss everdeen, Alma coin, plutrarch heavensbee and Haymich all these characters are safe in the hands of the Oscar winners who plays the respective parts,  but the actor who really grabbed my attention and someone who easily stands out is Donald sutherland as President Snow!!! His funny expressions and occasional laughs will entertain you like anything so as his final confession to katniss about who was behind those parachut bombs which takes prims life. .

                    Hungergames:Mockingjay Part 2 saved some of its best parts towards the end .. This maybe a spoiler for those who didn't read the book but it will be a crime to exclude such an awesome sequence out of my review. . Noone is gonna forget that one split second in which katniss changes the direction of her arrow from the snow who was tied to be executed, to someone else's Heart.  Someone who showed her true colours in the end.. that whole scene was so epic and shot really gloriously so that I almost jumped out of my seat..

               Hungergames Mockingjay Part 2 is never a bad movie, it will entertain you for sure but it left some room for a soul and suffers from it here and there. What it lacks is the director's charm.That very last scene which shows a bright future of katniss and peeta and for their kids 17 years later was the most beautiful and soothing part of the whole movie... yes! Mockingjay part 2 may not be stunning but katniss will surely bring hope to its viewers!!! Well, at least for me!!! ;)
                
                   

              

Dan Brown : A Wizard In The World Of Thrillers!!!

"Dan Brown" you may either 'Love' this name or 'Hate' this name, but you can't deny the fact that he is one of the most skilled thriller writers on the planet...
                    
                Being born and raised in Exeter,New Hampshire as the eldest of three children. Dan Brown grew up on the campus of Phillips Exeter Academy. In my opinion it's Dan Brown's father Richard G Brown who made the Dan Brown the wizard we know today. Richard G Brown was a teacher of Mathematics and because of that Dan Brown's childhood was filled with Symbols, codes, Anagrams and cross word puzzles.
                  
                        Young Dan Brown received 'Treasure hunts' on his birthdays by his father instead of birthday presents simply turning up on the table. And this thrill of deciphering codes, symbols and Anagrams which finally leads to the gift inspired Dan Brown to use the very same techniques and treasure hunts in his stories. Thanks to his father, because as a result what we got is one of the most solid, thrilling stories on earth.

                         But its the sidney sheldon's novel "The Doomsday Conspiracy" he read on a vacation in Tahiti in 1993 inspired him to become a writer of thrillers. His first book "Digital Fortress" a techno-thriller which deals with government surveillance of electronically stored information on the private lives of citizens, and the possible civil liberties and ethical implications using such technology got released in 1998

                Dan Brown's most interesting character The Harvard University prof "Robert Langdon" the world renowned symbologist made his first appearance in the Mystery - Thriller "Angels and Demons". But it's "The Da vinci code"  His fourth novel,now credited with being one of the most popular books of all time, with 81 million copies sold worldwide as of 2009 made Dan Brown an undeniable name in the world of fascinating writers.
Controversial but also irresistible to the senses "The Da vinci code" showed the world that a writer can skillfully write in the grey area between the fact and fiction.
                
               "Robert Langdon" continued his journey in "The Lost symbol" in which he sets out to find the Masonic secrets and "Inferno" which deals with one of the most serious problems the world face today "Over population" Dan Brown took this issue so seriously that he ended up creating a dark villian who creates a poison to reduce the population of the world. But by that time the name "Robert Langdon" became a larger than life name which thrills millions and millions of fans all around the world.

                      The thing that amazed me in his books is that he claims the places, Buildings, Ambigrams and the societies referred in his books are real. In that sense each Dan Brown book is a history lesson. It allows us to learn about cultures, Rituals, secret societies, Various issues in the world etc and Dan Brown also love to create villians who do the wrong things for the right reasons so that in the end it's upto us to decide whether he is truly a villian or a hero.

                   In my experience each book of  Dan Brown is a journey into the world of symbols, codes, Ambigrams,Anagrams and a lot of smart puzzles. By the time you decodes it with "Robert Langdon" you will be more than satisfied.

                   I'm eagerly waiting here for the next book of Dan Brown and who knows maybe Dan Brown is sitting somewhere right now thinking where to send "Robert Langdon" next... ;)

                  

My Review Of Avengers:Age Of Ultron

"How they are gonna top the biggest superhero movie ever made" this was the question tangled in my head when I went in to watch the Avengers:Age of Ultron.But I walked out of the cinema realising that our one and only "joss Whedon" the clever director and life long fan of Marvel Comics "Topped the biggest superhero movie ever made" but this time with enormous amount of soul...

                        I walked out of the cinema hall more than satisfied, to be precise with a sense of unparalleled excitement.Our "Marvel Cinematic Universe Master Chef" Joss Whedon kept the basic ingredients he used to make the "Avengers Dish" pretty much unchanged.And this time he added some more spices to that mix so that he can make a spicier dish than the last time which is delicious when served hot.

                         From the "Eye -popping" battle which the movie opens with to the CGI heavy extravaganza in the climax, Avengers:Age Of Ultron is packed with so many thrilling set pieces which will put every fan boy on the edge of their seats. This movie will make you applaud with all your energy, scream out loud and much more, and you will find this undeniable sense of fun oozing out of every action sequence. 

                The spectacular nerve wrecking face of between hulk and Hulkbuster armour is exhilarating to watch, to be fair that sequence alone is a bang for your bucks.If you ask me who my favourite character is.. it is Elizabeth olsen's scarlet witch. Elizabeth Olsen's solid performance as scarlet witch will stay with you even long after the end credits rolled.

                    Avengers age of ultron is not all sound and fury. Joss Whedon is able to ground it with a soul which will make us care for those characters.It is hard not to feel sorry about the blossoming romance between Black widow and Bruce Banner.It is beautiful and tragic at the same time. Joss Whedon makes a statement that when two people casted out by the world for reasons they can't control fall in love with each other, it is the most beautiful relationship in the world. Because they understand each other's feelings more than anyone else. our titular character Ultron is a gnarly mouthed villian who wanna destroy the entire human race.Some of the exchanges between Tony stark and Ultron provide much of the comic relief to the movie. And I have to say the birth of the vision is one of the coolest things you ever see in a MCU movie

                         In the end Avengers : Age of Ultron is a perfectly balanced summer movie extravaganza which you are not gonna forget anytime soon.Now leave everything you heard about the movie outside the cinema hall. Sit back and enjoy the ride because this ride only comes once in 3 years and you won't be disappointed ;)

                    

              

                       

LOST DECEMBER

When the pine needles fell in love with the snow
When the aroma from the baker's hut started to flow
When the stars from the eternity yell out of joy
That's when in the old days December arrived

When people from the streets sing carols out of passion
When Santa from the sky do his job without any distraction
When the kids filled the homes with their heavenly giggles
That's when in the old days, December arrived

When couples walked the streets by holding their hands
When people enjoyed each moment with their heavy overcoat on
When Almighty created magic without any wands
That's when in the old days, December arrived

When the smell of blood is mixed with the air
When the world hears the yells of war
When the snow turns into crimson red of fear
Alas!That's when, nowadays December arrives

When  girls in the dark beg for mercy
When the corrupt world lost all its ethics
When the rulers of the world go crazy
That's when, nowadays December arrives

When the father is blind to see that its his daughter
When the world is dominated with evil laughter
When lust started to rule the world
That's when nowadays December arrives

My Review of Hungergames Mockingjay part 1 : An Emotional Roller coaster

Going to watch a movie which is the adaptation of a Novel you are already a hardcore fan of is exciting and what if that movie exceeds your expectations? Well that's what happened in the case of Mockingjay part 1....

                     In the beginning we find our katniss Everdeen(Jennifer Lawrence) suffering from the post traumatic stress disorder as a result of her previous encounters in the arena.. Reluctant to become the mockingjay, the symbol of rebellion.  Movie starts in a very slow pace which will make us wonder whether it will deliver what we are expecting... But actually the movie delivers what we are expecting and some more..
               
                     All our doubts will disappear once katniss decides to become the Mockingjay.The scenes in which her prep team including cressida teaches her scripted lines for propos (propaganda videos) are amusing. Gale stands out as the character which have a strong screen presence in the movie.  With his "camera ready" face Liam Hemsworth delivers exactly what we expect from the Gale.. Muscle and Aggression and determination to stand for justice. ..

                 But it is Jennifer Lawrence who carries the movie in her shoulders. .The Academy Award winning actress once again proves why she got the Oscar in such a young age. .. she weeps.. turns bold .. and shouts out at president Snow .."if we burn you burn with us" .. mourns for peeta.. and shoots down a hovercraft with her arrows in a thrilling set piece

              The most intriguing scene of the movie was saved for the last. It is when Gale and guys save peeta in pitch black night.. and we see peeta in Skin and bones (thanks to the special effects guya who slimmed him down  ) I bet even the most brave Hungergames fans will find their mouth in their hands in that terrific scene where peeta crushes katniss's neck with his hands by pinning her down on the ground and her eyes bulging out in crimson red...
              
                      This is the kind of movie which will stay in our heads even after we leave the cinema hall for a long time. . Another solid chapter in the famous Hungergames franchise .Hold your breath on that mind blowing sequence where rebels from the District 5 blows the dam at night inspired by the song of katniss "The Hanging Tree". . But in the end I left the cinema with a sad face.. because I have to wait another whole year to see the spectacular conclusion of the Hungergames series!!! :)

In a Rainy Evening

Raindrops fallen into the blood
Mixed with the bloodstained mud
Some of them are crying with pain
Alas!All those cries was in vain

Those raindrops heard the explosion of missiles
Yelling of kids, splattering of blood
They saw the demons on earth
Devastating others even before their birth

A homeless child was laying on that street
Covered in blood and shivering with fright
She remembered an Angel from the story mom told her
And hoped in vain that he will save her

She heard the footsteps of people running in fear
Pushing each other with eyes full of tear
The wind was scared to carry their voice
And rain painfully muted their yells

She heard the missiles roaring above them
Blowing the body parts like its a job assigned to them
One more sound she heard in that moment
And a part of her little skull flew in the wind

That rainy evening was dominated by thick blood
Nobody heard their yell of pain
Each one of them never rised above vain
O Gaza! Why are you like this? !
