STORM.

There is something so oddly comforting about the storm. As the trees swing around mercilessly in the air and the pouring rain leaves imprints everywhere. I lay in the dark listening to it uproar, wrapped up in blanket, safe and sound. I guess that is why it’s so oddly comforting; the fact that it’s a raging storm outside and I’m inside safely battling my own inner storms.

Sometimes it feels like my inner storm has manifested itself in more of a physical form. For a change, it’s not only in the inside. It’s there; in its realist form, manifesting itself to the outside world. I want to scream; “see this is how I feel, this is how it destroys me”. I want to scream and let them know.

The rain pours and pours with it the thunder bolts rips the sky open. This is how I feel. Like something rips open my chest with its bare hands.

The leaves rustle as though screaming for escape. This is how I feel. Struggling to find freedom as everything around me does it best to hold me down.

Flashes of lightning illuminates the dark in my room, curtains blow away with the wind and the air becomes chillier with each passing second, so I tightly wrap the blanket around me.

Broken Friendship

Some sorrows are too deep,

In my life they just seem to seep.

I wanted to talk to you 

but I remembered you do not talk to me anymore
I can feel the pain in my heart
as if its melting from its core

   Friends may come and friends may go,
   but i know you'll find your way back
   because true friends last forever

   and we were  meant to be together .

THE HUNGER GAMES : MOCKINGJAY PART 1 - MOVIE REVIEW

It’s very likely that Francis Lawrence’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 is not the movie that you’re expecting. Moving beyond the structure that helped make the first two films in the series so successful – seeing star Katniss Everdeen forced to compete in a deadly competition that pits her against her peers in an arena setting – the new sequel instead takes the franchise themes of revolution and resistance to the next level, taking its characters to war. Rather than struggling with this massive shift, however, the new film simply makes the dystopian world that much more fascinating and exciting, and is ultimately another very successful chapter in the blockbuster series.

Picking up just after the events of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, the new film finds Katniss (Jennifer Lawrence) within the bowels of a large, underground military complex where she suddenly finds herself as the wanted figurehead of a growing rebellion. Her acts of defiance against President Snow (Donald Sutherland) and the Capitol during The Hunger Games have successfully sown the seeds of revolution, and she has inspired the people of Panem to rise up against their fascist overlords and try to take their nation back. But while the country is on the verge of war, Katniss must not only decide if she will take the responsibility of leadership that has been thrust upon her, but also try and find a way to rescue Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), who has been taken hostage and imprisoned by the enemy.

Though it is perhaps a bit inaccessible to those who have not followed the series up to this point, and it feels more like an extended chapter of a longer saga than a self-contained plot, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 finds its success in meaningful themes, character-driven story, and smart execution, and ultimately creates some impressive depth for the phenomenon franchise.

Mockingjay – Part 1 can be best categorized as a war film, but what impressively sets it apart from its blockbuster brethren is the surprisingly little dependence that it has on action sequences, explosions and on-screen violence. Instead, it opts for a much more fascinating political and personal approach, as we see through Katniss’ eyes what it takes to motivate revolution and its extreme cost. The teenage archer is certainly brave and heroic in the face of danger, but a bold, military leader she is not, and the film fully dives into her struggle accepting her role and becoming the symbol everyone needs her to be – all while a man she loves is being held prisoner and tortured. Propaganda videos are explored as being just as important as the new explosive-tipped arrows that the heroine is provided with, and it works because the drama is just as satisfying as the mission and battle sequences.

Being so driven by internal conflicts, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 provides itself opportunity for great character work – and while it’s obviously Katniss who gets the most development (backed by yet another brilliant performance from Jennifer Lawrence), it’s fantastic to see the rest of the ensemble get their shining moments as well. After being stranded on the outskirts of the story in the first two films, Liam Hemsworth’s Gale finally gets some material that he can really sink his teeth into – torn apart by his feelings for Katniss, her close bond with Peeta, and his own personal revolutionary spirit. Contextual changes also do great things for Elizabeth Banks’ Effie (who is horrified to go from colorful Capitol garb to a grey District 13 jumpsuit); Woody Harrelson’s Haymitch (who is forced to ‘dry out’ a bit); Philip Seymour Hoffman’s Plutarch (who has a very influential position within the rebellion); and Jeffrey Wright’s Beetee (who finds a role to play as the revolution’s tech expert). There’s even room for some great new characters, as Julianne’s President Coin - leader of the revolt – becomes a complex new ally and antagonist for our heroine.

Of course, you can’t sell revolution to an audience if they don’t have a complete understanding of what’s being revolted against, and the good news is that Francis Lawrence and screenwriters Danny Strong and Peter Craig don’t short sell it. From public executions to firebombed cities to threatening speeches, there is no shortage of evil being displayed by the Capitol, and it’s all presented in affecting and shocking ways. As the central antagonist, Donald Sutherland continues to play President Snow with a creepy confidence that sells the idea that he has seen revolutions come and go and feels little threat to his power – which, when combined with Katniss’ uncertainty creates a threatening David and Goliath atmosphere.

As the Part 1 in the title suggests, this first half of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay doesn’t really provide any big conclusions or complete any arcs, but this lacking only slightly undercuts what the film adds to the franchise as a whole. There’s a great deal of smart thematic and character work that adds to the world of The Hunger Games, and will only serve to get fans more excited for the story’s conclusion.

MY MOTHER !!

My mother kept a garden

A garden of the heart

She planted all the good things

That gave my life its start.

She turned me to the sunshine

And encouraged me to the dream

Fostering and nurturing

The seeds of self esteem.

The constant good example 

Always taught me right from wrong

Makers for my pathway

That will last a life long

I am my mothers garden

I am her legacy

And i hope today she feels the love

Reflected back from me.

DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM,

BUT THIS IS THE WAY I AM !!

Neither I know how to sing,

Nor I know how to dance,

I am taking up this chance,

Looking all my life at a glance,

DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM,

BUT THIS IS THE WAY I AM.

All my life I faced ups and downs,

throughout,

but there was nothing serious to

worry about,

I thought of life as a drammatical

Stage,

Where you and I are prisoned in

Cage.

DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM,

BUT THIS IS THE WAY I AM.

When winds were blowing and,

storming around,

I was totally speechless and,

spell bound,

through the silent valleys I

went,

without any stop or a bent.

DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM,

BUT THIS IS THE WAY I AM.

One thing that life has taught 

Me

I will share with you happily,

that until you reach your goal,

With all prospect

And be right upon the seventh 

Sky,

No one gives you respect,

Let it be a girl or a guy.

DON'T KNOW WHAT I AM,

BUT THIS IS THE WAY I AM.

RIGHT OF MOTHER NATURE

Create harmony with mother nature,

Treat the mountains with dignity and respect;

Re-plant when you cut down a tree and burn

Not the forest for they have feelings like you.

Poison not the rivers nor the oceans for

The fishes there of are humans with emotions.

Do not kill animal anyhow or they will go into extinction.

Conserve your environment and water, protect wildlife and make mother earth proud.

Protect the right of mother nature,

Observe the Right of mother earth.

Avoid polluting the air with smoke,

Everything you sow surely you will reap.

Mother Nature look up to your cooperation to

Make the world a better place for us.

Do not abuse the earth for there you are returning

Protect mother nature against harm.

Its our responsibility...lets take a oath to protect earth

and make it a beautiful place to live in.
