Uncover

Does the universe really have a soul?
When an unwed mother of a four year old,
Sleeps un-sheltered in the February cold,
While men stare, some young some old,
And winter chills her frail young bones.
Stares feel like jagged stones.
Does the universe really have a soul?

No, it doesn't.
And you know what - sometimes even people don't.

Feels

Patriotism for me was best depicted when SRK (in Swades) looks out of his window seconds before he is to set foot in India. Nothing describes detachment better than the wheels of a plane seconds after take off. This was exactly the opposite - done brilliantly. Meanwhile, AR Rahman used only 5 notes of the shehnai for SRK & the audiences to feel homesick repeatedly in the film. Even those who were in India felt homesick/guilty. The first film in a long time that did not show patriotism in the light  of violence, hatred and turbulent times and still struck a chord with the audiences. Wonder where the wiser filmmakers are hiding now or are the scripts. PS: This was also a rare time when an SRK films made sense to me. (I know this comment will draw flack for me)
