My name is not Khan and I am not a Muslim, but I just fell in love with the movie not because it has Shah-Rukh-Khan, simply because it is beyond being a Khan or a Muslim.

Hats-off to a dear friend, who is in Bangalore for “waking me up” from the deep slumber. It was a pleasant morning on the weekend, when almost the world around me was up and alive, but I was still dreaming….dreaming about the past few months when I had almost planned the rest of my near future, thinking about the whys and hows, having pleasure in feeling almost accomplished, I just didn’t want to get up to face the reality, which was no way near to my dream…pat I get a call, but fast asleep enjoying a virtual life in my dream I was in two minds to answer or not to answer the call.

While you are doing this… your mind is working on that…what next…hurry…c’mon… what after this…and eyes on a constant look out for what is over in that Burney or a jar, what new to bring, what else to dispose, how to preserve…Oh my God you just can’t ignore those dust granules which keep finding their way back… and oh no how about those things that are left here and there, everywhere, except for their ‘sacred’ place…..Once all this and that of your ‘thankless’ job-cum-moral duty is done… you still manage to erect your back, get back to your sanity and stand somehow straight yet again to answer all the que...
