Year 2009

Year 2009 has not been very great year. World faced the worst recession which is second to only 1929 depression. Everybody was scared and panicked. No one, not even very learned economists were able to predict the total loss due to recession and no one was sure when the world will come out of it. Some even predicted second slump because of the wrong plocies adapted by government but many economists do not believe it. Hopefully this will be good year financially.
Pakistan faced perhaps the worst years in decades as its economy has gone down so bad that even with aid it will take several years to come back to normal. They have accepted funding from US under all restriction which they would not have done few tears ago. They are facing so many terrorist attacks that even I pity them now. They have been unable to stop attacks. Attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team was them most shameful and embarrassing that country has faced in recent years. No ones knows who is running the country. President, prime minister, general or Terrorists. I thank god for I was not born into that country. Interestingly India did not face any major terrorist attack except blasts in Assam in november. I think credit should go Home Monister for his efficient work and reforms he has been bringing in India's internal security. I hope 2010 will also go in same way.
Bad news for environmentalists though that Copenhagen summit failed but still there are hopes. Hopefully something good will happen in 2010. Its the last year of the decade so witihn a year lot of people will start judging the decade, some have already started doing it.

Gattaca

I saw movie today named Gattaca. Its a science fiction movie. Its not a action thriller like other scifi movies but instead its a drama movie. Its very slow and sometimes boring but the concept behind it is very interesting. Very unique type of discrimination has been shown in movie, Genetic Discimination has been seen in movie, it means the people with better DNA are only allowed to do the responsible jobs. Others are given very less responsible jobs and also any couple can get a child as per their requirement means usinf technology they can remove lot of birth defects which will make child very much perfect. The movie is about a person whose DNA does not let him become a astronaught but by his determination he becomes one. Hero of this movie says he can stretch himself to any length to make his dream true that atlast by his will power he is able to defeat genetically superior one. Thats the theme I liked most about the movie. So I liked it eveb though its very slow and sometimes you do not want to continue but the struggle of the hero is worth watching and his perseverence, hardwork and will to succeed is worth watching. Hidden message of the movie is that you need much more than talent to succeed, you need passion, desire to succeed, will power, hard work and persevernce. Thats the thing I liked most about this movie. The people who made this movie actually gave some thought and its not some thoughtless action packed sci fi movie where protagonist can do anything and can kill anyone and achiev some monumental tasks. Even though its a very slow movie its worth watching.
