New York – More Than A Movie

I went to watch the movie NEW YORK thinking it would be one of those masala entertainers & ofcourse coz Katrina was there in it too. I mean who woulnt want to see her on the huge screen.  The movie didnt end up being one of those brainless entertainers but one of the most thought provoking movies ever. A total moneys worth.         02

Halfway through the movie when you listen to John narrating the torture he had to go through in those “detention camps” makes you cringe. I’ve read a lot of this in Friedrich Forsyth & John Grisham’s books but to actually see it being potrayed on the screen makes it seem much much more brutal.

Which brings me to the  controversial thought which we all had when we came out of the theatre. Was terrorism justified if those so called terrorists were subjected to such inhuman torture? Mind you i know this was a movie but the fact remains that stuff like this happens all the time. Everyone knows about the infamous Guantanamo Bay. Is it fair to put innocent people through such agony & then let them go for the “lack of evidence”?

You just cant expect a normal human being to forget it all. You are cruisin down the street in your car & suddenly a policeman stops & asks you for your liscene which you dont have one you. He asks you to pay the fine. Dont you just get so so so wild with him. Dont you abuse him once you are at a safe distance from him? Imagine being tortured & treated worse than an animal for a considerbale lenght of time. Will you smile & accept the fact that they are “sorry”? Wont you harbour so much hate that you’d wanna do the same thing that was dished out to you? Its they who create the terrorists & then fight them! Not all of them but a lot of them. Terrorism has no place here & Im in no ways justifying it BUT every terrorist out there isnt someone who was born a terrorist.                                      03

My only question of interest would be “would you have been happy if the Sameer in the movie had pressed the button & triggered the bomb”? :-)

T20 World Cup- Derailed

2

Down with flu since the last 2 days so got a chance to catch up with the cricket not that it did any good :-(   Whats with the Indian team anyways? They went into the tournament as defending champs & not just that, they actually seemed to be worthy of that status on paper. Every single team member for the 1st time seemed to be a potential match winner. But as usual, just when you expect something big from them , they make you realise that dreams dont always come true

So what actually went wrong? The coach says fatigue, captain says “fatigue can never be a factor for an international cricketer” which actually makes sense since the players from other countries who played in the IPL credit their success to the tournament! Were the Indians caught on the BACKFOOTby the amount of preparation put in by the opposition for their players.That would seem so since the Indians are not the best when it comes to playing on the BACKFOOT.

Going into the tournament everyone kept saying that the weakness of the Indian team would be their bowling especially when it comes to bowling at the death. The batsmen in India arr always given a special status no matter what & this debacle is not gonna change that one bit.

Good on you Mr Ravi Shastri who said “It would be a miracle if India successful in defending the World Cup”. Atleast now we dont have to sit in front of the TV prayin for the Indain team :-)

P.S : Is it just me or does it seem like Dhoni is getting a lil arrogant these days?

Men set for ‘extinction’??????

Men are on the road to extinction as their genes shrink and slowly fade away, a world-renowned British scientist has said.

Professor Jennifer Graves, a leading human sex chromosomes researcher with the Australian National University, Canberra, said the male Y chromosome needed to be a male was on the path to extinction and could run out within the next five million years.

Speaking at a lecture entitled ‘The Decline and Fall of the Y Chromosome and the Future of Men’, Prof Graves discussed the disappearance of the Y chromosome and the implications for humans.

“The Y chromosome is dying and the big question is what happens then,” said Professor Graves, whose work on the past evolution of sex determination has paved the way for developments in diagnosis of gender disorders and gender-related disease in humans.

She, however, said men may follow the path of a type of rodent which still manages to reproduce despite not having the vital genes that make up the Y chromosome.

According to the top scientist, a second species of human beings could even be born in the future.

“Three hundred million years ago the Y chromosome had about 1,400 genes on it, and now it’s only got 45 left, so at this rate we’re going to run out of genes on the Y chromosome in about five million years,” she told researchers at the Royal College of Surgeons (RCSI) in Ireland.

The male Y chromosome has a gene (SRY), which switches on the development of testis and pumps out male hormones that determine maleness.

She said it was not known what would happen once the Y chromosome disappeared.

“Humans can’t become parthenogenetic [asexually reproduce], like some lizards, because several vital genes must come from the male,” she was quoted as saying by the Daily Telegraph newspaper on Thursday.

“But the good news is that certain rodent species – the mole voles of Eastern Europe and the country rats of Japan – have no Y chromosome and no SRY gene.

“Yet there are still plenty of healthy male mole voles and country rats running around.

Some other gene must have taken over the job and we’d like to know what that gene is,” she stressed.
