My name is Khan and I am not a terrorist.

"My name is Khan and I am not a terrorist". Each time Rizvan Khan (SRK) uttered this line I had goosebumps all over my hand. 'My name is Khan' touched me to my very soul and I can easily say that this is of those movies which has a strong message and truly deserves a standing ovation. One of the many lines which stood out in the movie was : "There are only two kinds of people in this world; good people who do good deeds and bad people who do bad deeds." This is absolutely true. Religion is just a part of our identity. We should not allow it to define us nor should we fight for or against it. The message of this movie is that all Muslims are not terrorists and that we should not judge people based on religion. Just because one apple is rotten does not mean that all apples are rotten. There is always a bad person amidst good people. As the saying goes," the sweet is never sweet without the sour." Certain parts of the movie were really silly but I do not want to discuss about the bad parts of a movie, I just want to talk about all the good things about this movie.

Seeing the racial attack after the 9/11 attack, I could imagine how it would have been in reality. 9/11 attack killed thousands of people, the aftermath killed a few more. Another line that stood out was, "If one innocent person dies, the entire humanity has to pay for it." This is extremely true. One bad person takes the lives of innocent people and the whole world is affected by this. Every part of the world was in chaos after this attack and has undoubtedly left a black mark in our hearts. But the attack on Muslims and Sikhs (just because they looked like Muslims) after the big attack is something that was uncalled for. One Muslim guy becomes a murderer and all Muslims are blamed. Why is that? We always choose the easy way out. It is much simpler to blame everyone instead of pointing out one bad guy who actually committed the crime. Isn't that unfair?

This is how I think about it; we (humans) created the concept of religion in order to be organized and to avoid creating chaos in the world. Now, when we should be learning about other religions and following the good things about every religion, we are fighting like cats and dogs in the name of religion which was started in the first place to avoid fighting. Oh, how we love irony!On a lighter note, please do watch the movie, you will cry your heart out and you will enjoy SRK's jokes! :)

The most shocking Pictures!

Please save animals from being killed in the most gruesome way just to make goods for the sake of some ridiculous looking products!











The most shocking pictures I have ever seen! I was never a fan of leather goods because I did not like the look of it. But now I am totally against leather goods. I cannot imagine how a person can be so insensitive and so sickeningly cruel. I am not a big fan of animals , but that does not mean that I will kill all animals so that I can have what I want ! Among all animals , I like snakes. Seeing these pictures made me want to kill myself for being a human. It is a shame what people will do for money and looks. I cannot see how people can be paid for slaughtering animals callously. Don't animals have as much right as we do? Don't they deserve to be treated with respect? I am extremely glad that I am a vegetarian. I am appealing to people to check these pictures out and stop using leather goods. They are many other materials that look good on you! Please do not encourage the slaying of innocent animals just because they are overpowered and cannot speak out. Let's not put mankind to shame by being barbarous. It is bad enough that humans kill humans. So please do what you can to save these animals who are being killed in such a disgusting fashion!

A tribute to Shakespeare

Sonnet 116

Let me not to the marriage of true mindsAdmit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove;
O, no! it is an ever-fixed mark,
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken,Love's not Time's fool , though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out even to the edge of doom.If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
-William Shakespeare





I came across this sonnet in my 12th grade textbook. I remember this poem vividly because this truly captured my heart. William Shakespeare is undoubtedly THE best poet ever! His style and his absolute truth made me love him more than ever. He is my second role model (well first being my dad).
