One can see the movie and may realize that the movie is a blockbuster or going to crash all the records,may be.But at what stages we indians are brought to that the movie directors are making the use of our patriotic feeling to promote their movies.Now and then we have a movie for arousing our patriotic feelings has the patriotism has become the puppets in the hands of movie makers. It must be true that we indians are a little bit more emotional in the case of nationalism but all these crashes when our own political leaders gate crash all of our dreams.
Albert Einstein had rightly said
"Nationalism is an infantile disease, the measeals of mankind".
Which is also being proven by our film makers who to gain extra fame and be to have a nomination in the oscors make a movie on indian issues wheather it is history related or treating us as pauper.
But in my hope the new generation is at their best to retrive the golden era of the Indian society and culture.
"A Narrow Fellow in the Grass"
A narrow Fellow in the Grass
Occasionally rides -
You may have met him? Did you not
His notice instant is -
The Grass divides as with a comb -
A spotted Shaft is seen,
And then it closes at your Feet
And opens further on -
He likes a Boggy Acre -
A Floor too cool for Corn -
Yet when a Boy and barefoot
I more than once at Noon,
Have passed I thought a Whip Lash
Unbraiding in the Sun
When stooping to secure it
It wrinkled And was gone -
Several of Nature's People
I know and they know me
I feel for them a transport
Of Cordiality;
But never met this Fellow
Attended or alone
Without a tighter Breathing
And Zero at the Bone.

rules, he s being original. When you please your boss, you re ass creeping. When your boss pleases his boss, he s being
co-operative. When you re out of the office, you re wandering around. When your boss is out of the office,
he s on business. When you re on a day off sick, you re always sick. When your boss is a day off sick, he must
be very ill. When you apply for leave, you must be going for an interview. When your boss applies for
