The Touch Me Not Girl & Million Dollar Baby

--
I don't know if i liked the movie but i must talk about it. I loved bits in it. Particularly Danger, i think the best character in the movie, he doesn't have anything in him but heart, and he believes in freeman's words when he says it's not over there's always another fight.

frankly the only person who deserved an oscar for the movie didn't get it. Clint Eastwood played his part well, the rest probably got it due to the shortage of competition. it definitely didn't deserve the best movie award. clint eastwood's Mystic River was a much more powerful tale.
Well the feeling i came out with was -- boxing is no game man it should be stopped and it definitely is not abt earning respect.

The Touch Me Not Girl by Rajlakshmee Debee is a wonderful book. The writer died a few days back and I wish I could have told the writer how much I loved the book, I could have I know someone who could at the least pass on my message to her. But I guess she doesn't need a medium to know my thots now. The book does not say in so many words but it wishes that we erase the imaginary boundaries that separate us as countries and live as a united fraternity.

Where there is no Pakistan
Where there is no India
Where there is no Mussalmaan
Where there is no Hindu
Where the womb bears love
Where the mind dreams of peace
And in that heaven of of Freedom, God, let my world awake....
