Freedom of Expression ??

I have been wondering if Freedom of expression includes the Freedom to dress according to your wish...That of course assumes the fact that the dress actually sheathes the region it is supposed to...If so then some of our so called political leaders should be put behind bars for intruding into the democratic right of a citizen say Shreya Charan..

I read this story couple of weeks back about Shreya's inappropriate wear causing lots of wear n tear and I really did not know how to react...I kinda wondered is Shreya's attire the most pressing national issue today coz it seems to be so by the way some people are reacting....To all those guys I would like to say just one thing "Dude..get a life"....

As per their statement it is against Hindu culture...I dont think there are any references to the way we should dress anywhere in our vedas...Besides I would like to pose a question to these guys who are taking Hinduism for their support, Do you really follow all the Dharmas Hinduism talks of...As far as I remember Hindu religion just talks about how you should lead your life and you people dont seem to follow the important ones atleast..2000 or 3000 years ago there werent pants, shirts or even for that matter sarees...

Besides who made you guys "cultural cops" proclaiming to clean up the society...if you have so much free time it 'd be good if you did something better like feeding the poor, bolstering unfortunate or educate unsupported children rather than ogling at shreya, analyzing her dressing and tell us where it is revealing (like we dint know already )...

Stars...

Stars as believed by some are known to influence course of life, astrologically speaking...I also have started believing in it the only difference is that they are not quite the same stars...I watched the movie Taare Zameen Par (Stars on the ground) couplea days back....I guess now you know which stars am talkin abt...

For those who havent watched the movie its about a kid who has difficulty in reading and writing and how he overcomes his inabilities with the help of a teacher...

The movie is a beautiful rendition of a poetic ode on a boy's difficulties and how he manages to win over them...I can be honest when I say its been a long time since I saw a movie which excelled in all parts like direction, screenplay, music, lyrics and importantly acting....The kid Darsheel who has done the part of Ishan has simply lived the character...As a matter of fact every actor in the movie dont seem to be acting...Its like thats wat their innate characters are to start with...

The music and the photography add beauty to an already elegant poem...Hats off to Aamir for his great direction and Amol for his great script...the movie is fulfilling in all aspects...I find it difficult to express the overwhelming feeling I felt towards the end of the movie which in a way in itself is an insinuation to the strength of the movie...

For people who havent watched the movie go ahead and watch it if you want to get in touch with your inner self...I wouldnt be overstating if I said that the movie is a heartwarming tale that can radically revolutionize the way you see things...
