Post exam silliness

My friend had a toothache, one day after the exams got over, and the doctor prescribed B complex capsules.

My pal comes and says : I will become complex, if I take so many B complex capsules.

I retort : No... you will become complex conjugate.

Who said its only in the exam answer sheets that we are silly?

Movie - the messiah!

The trend started long time back. So its nothing new when you hear friends discussing reviews of any movie and mentioning the words "message from the movie". Sarfarosh was about the "message" that we should be patriotic despite religious differences, or individual accomplishments. Rang De Basanti was about the "message" that we need to do something pro-actively to change the age-old system, rather than wait till eternity for it to change. Munnabhai was about the power of humanity and Lage Raho was about the power of Gandhigiri. Countless examples of movies sending across "messages" of purity, humanity, patriotism, love, and all other goody-goody stuff can be mentioned, and a lot more will come up. And each will inspire a spike of emotion in the viewer, which unfortunately, and unfailingly, will die down by the time he/she returns home and watches a trailer of another movie with another "message".

My point is, are we really such zombies who need a messiah like a movie to enlighten us and show us the otherwise cliched and common-sense path of life? And will there be any time when the spikes of emotions last long enough to show some effect on us?

Cheers!!!
