I don't know what this said!

This is not just any entry, but rather Just an Entry, inspired after having watched Slumdog Millionaire in silence, away from the maddenning crowd, away from the sounds of popcorns being chewed and coke being sipped away relentlessly.Everyone calls in the "feel good" movie of the year, but to me it's not a "feel good" movie but rather one that has inspired me to make this entry, to re-think certain idealogies i have hung on to for so long, about time to shed some of it. :)Jamal Malik the protoganoist, represents not just the poor people of the slums, but rather is an indepth representation of every human being. We are all Jamal Malik in one way or another, we just got to recgonise him and understand what needs to be done.There are a lot of things to learn from this young man's struggle, each of us will relate to these lessons in our own way. I just want to share what i got from it and how it's going to help me break certain ideologies and shed away the resistence.Learning does not happen in a fixed system, everyone has a chance to learn, every turning point presents one with a lesson, it is up to us, to receive it or to deny it. Jamal Malik, didn't know the answers by reading up, by being the best student in school, but rather by remembering things he heard. In the larger scheme of things, i see this as my own learning point, i have to stop looking for answers in the conventional places or by conventional means, i need to sometimes take the unconventional route.Man, as discriminating as he can be in the best and worst of times, does stand up and support even the most down trodden, when he sees the other person trying, making an effort to change his circumstance, man stands up for him, supports him, cheers him on, he may not have the answers but his support is inspiring enough. From this I have come to understand, that before i can expect someone else to stand up for me, i must stand up for myself, i must want to change my own circumstance and have the grit and determination to make that change, just thinking isn't good enough, never is, action rather than inaction is more important.Finally, Risk. When you have everything to lose, risk it all, what's the worse that can happen? You lose everything. I am happier knowing that i lost risking it all.So my dear readers, make what you want from this simple entry, to me, I have decided to risk it all, and plunge and do certain things which i have only thought about but never made the effort to do it, for fear of what others might say, for fear what i have to lose.Till the next read, sip on some water, enjoy the weather and remember, Risk it all!
