It is a weighty matter for discussion, and one that can never end, and most will believe that it all turns upon an individual whim. Freud would’ve been able to throw some light on it but he’s dead and gone, so just settle with my interpretation. And why am I breathing this fudge of mine into your minds? I think things tend to get a bit idealistic after seeing A Few Good Men save a Mocking-bird.
Now both the pieces are exceptionally well knitted courtroom dramas but “ To kill a Mockingbird ” does not abound with high sounding ciceronian phrases as A Few Good Men does, but both of them equally manage to strike the chord. Atticus Finch and Danielle Kaffee ( Tom Cruise ) become heroes of the legal profession; the former fighting for a colored man and the latter trying to live up to the expectations of a dead father.
Here’s a piece which was nominated by UN as the best Poem of 2006 - Written by an African Kid
When I born, I black
When I grow up, I black
When I go in Sun, I black
When I scared, I black
When I sick, I black
And when I die, I still black
And you white fellow
When you born, you pink
When you grow up, you white
When you go in sun, you red
When you cold, you blue
When you scared, you yellow
When you sick, you green
And when you die, you grey
And you calling me colored??
And do watch this.
And all the time I wanted to be among people with greater fears, but how could I negotiate about something whose value I didn’t know, and until then…

@ abhishek
may be it is ephemeral but d fact dat it touches us even 4 a fraction of a sec ic wat matters.
one of my fren had frwrded dat one n i really hv 2 thank him 4 dat.
@ debasish
ya do watch it.
i dnt think altruism is always fraud. probably our vanity is such dat we hold our own characters immutable, n we r slow 2 acknowledge dat we hv changed even 4 d better. wat say?
