"MY NAME IS NOT KHAN"

Yes, my name is not Khan.Still when I was watching this movie today evening,tears started rolling down my eyes(there was a traffic jam,lots of tears on my small cheek).No no, don't worry, Its a common thing.It usually happens with me(very emotional), two days back I started crying while watching the movie DASVIDANIA(THE BEST GOOD BYE EVER).
You all might believe movies are not reality,but we can learn a lot from movies and these movies give us a lot of confidence.Yes I agree things are exaggerated but we can do our part at least.

When a muslim never forgets to offer Namaz, why we are not that committed to our timings to offer prayers,visit holy places.

In one scene Shah rukh says- "Namaz jagah aur logon se nahi, neeyat se padhi jaati hai".
In another scene he says - "khuda ki raah mohabbat ki raah hai, dehshat aur jang ki nahi".

In the movie Kurbaan, the person who helps the terrorist to get on the plane with a bomb was an American Christian.Vivek Oberoi, a muslim helps FBI to save poeple.

In the movie New York, Neel Nitin Mukesh again a muslim helps FBI to stop John Abraham from Exploding the building.

These are all movies, but we have real life example of honorable Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. I need not explain his contribution towards India.

In the mean while my friend Akhil, who was watching the movie with me,slept away to glory and when I said, should I reduce the volume or put off the lights, he says no matter how loud it may be, I can sleep comfortably.

In yet another scene, Shah rukh went to save the African people in America in the flooded areas, whom the government has forgotten. The newly elected president being Barack Obama.

Another learning is about promise.Shah rukh's mother in the movie says -
Khan never break their promise.
Amitabh Bacchan in the movie khuda Gawah says - Pathan ka baccha, apni jaan de dega lekin apni zubaan se nahi mukrega.

So, Shah rukh fough regularly to meet the American president to say -
"My Name is Khan and I am not a terrorist".

I am not supporting or promoting Islam, neither I am with the Christians or Israilians.
But, without offending any one I disagree to the statement -
"ALL MUSLIMS ARE NOT TERRORISTS BUT ALL TERRORISTS ARE MUSLIMS".
We can't judge people by their caste,religion or region.(within India we fight - North Indian, South Indian etc.)


I am unable to express lots of things, which I felt while watching it, not only related to Islam, but to humanity and our day to day life, how we can achieve what we decide.

We need to be true to ourselves, no one else.
I am open to any kind of suggestions, discussions etc.Please write your opinions in comments or you can directly mail me - neerajm.isme10@gmail.com
