#7:Not Ok with PK....

It was spring of 2008....tomorrow was my maths board exam, I was preparing hard for it. I had completed almost all chapters. All there was left to do was revision. In evening I thought to arrange my box and started to collect all the necessary mathematical tools like divider,compass etc..Suddenly I realised that I don't have my admit card, and at the same moment I paled at the thought that what would happen if i couldn't trace my admit card back.I informed my family immediately and the very moment emergency was declared . Everybody explored the every corner of house but couldn't find that and in this process we were at dawn....I had an board exam after 3 hours.I started crying and praying to god and father asked me to dress up so that we can reach the exam centre early and find out alternate option. Somehow the center incharge was convinced to allow me to appear and in the mean time they would find my admit card. I gave the exam under the threat of being expelled from that room any moment. But somehow they found my admitcard in the exam center itself as I have left that in the previous exam. In the end all went good but in that moment of crisis who was there with me?? I was never a boy who worshiped a lot and went to temple before exam but when I was in exam hall sitting alone, there was only one thing that was convincing me that everything would be fine..and yes no prize for guessing that thing was so called hypothetical god..which are reported to be missing or you can say Laapata in our very own Aamir Khan blockbuster movie "PK".

I know he didn't wanted to hurt any sentiments, He wasn't even doubting existence of god. He was just unhappy with the rituals, and simply high lightning the malpractices going in name of religion. But I would like to know one thing, why we are showing the bad aspects of every religion?? why we are spreading negativity in our society?? Don't we already know how bad the other religion is....other than our own.

This is not the first movie to do so.we have another one "OMG" which shows the same thing. and we can digest one on the account of covering every issue in our versatile Bollywood. but we shouldn't make it a trend because you know people here are not so mature. they are only intelligent enough to laugh at the jokes but they seldom get the message conveyed actually. 

Another important aspect is that in every religion there are some debatable practices that doesn't mean we should abandon that religion and become atheist. This will be just like a person not happy with the government way of working is leaving the country because in this world nothing is perfect if you are not happy with it change it instead of telling others that look I found a fault in the system and creating havoc among people. I know the directors and the actor of movie are not the caretaker of country.they are just for entertainment but with crores of followers you people have certain responsibility, you have to carry that in a responsible manner.

Our world is full of problem's and negativity what I urge you people is not to highlight the problems instead highlight the solution and going by the history many religion have originated from time to time to make a better society, yet today all fall into the same category. So the solution is to repair the existing system, so that gap between poor and rich can be minimised and I would request the youth of the country to do a close study on their respective religion and to understand the basic teaching of that and I have deep trust that they will find a logic behind each and every ritual which were supposed to be performed by any person with all terms and condition. and if you don't want to use your mind so much I request you to don't make a conclusion out of movie likes "PK" and better start watching "Pogo"..:-)
