Soul Mate

Soul  Mate
Poem by Indira  Shabnam ‘Indu’
                                                      
God knows how many                                                        
Rebirths I have taken                
Getting stuck
Time after time
In the wheel of life and death
Now I have recognized you
And I have the hope of
Making you my own
But you go far
From my eyes
Slipping away out of sight
Oh my soul-mate
Will you make me,
Wander through more births?
Torture me?
Make me search for you again?
Oh my soul-mate!
                                 Indira  Shabnam ‘Indu’

3 Idiots: The Movie of Fantastic Insight


3 Idiots: The Movie of Fantastic Insight
By Mubarak Ali Lashari
Bollywod has given panorama of movies on different topics to the world audience. The movies with regard to topics range from love to action, social to political and historical to contemporary affairs. But the movie ‘3 idiots’ is mainly related with youth’s affairs. Many issues related with young generation are manipulated very skillfully and naturally.
On the one hand it presents the problems of career selection, which youths of all over the world face, because mainly the occupation or selection of area of working are imposed by parents and on the other hand there is first-rate insight of educational set up in the developing countries. With regard to education insight, not only the issues of teaching methodologies reference material but also the behavior towards the problems of students is addressed superbly.
In the issues of problems concerned with selection of future vocation, for example, the character Farhan Querishi faces an odd overwhelmingly. There is internal conflict between his parents and him. He wants to be a photographer whereas his parents want him to be engineer which he is unable to maneuver admirably. Consequently, he remains fed up during the whole period of study. In contrast to that the character, Raju, wants to be engineer in line with his parents’ desire but his way to handle his educational career to attain his position is very superstitious. In result of that he always remains under the dogmas and can not manipulate the confidence.
Furthermore, there is good insight into the educational institutes and their method of teaching and rendering youths to achieve loftiness in their lives. In this context the traditional way to deal with course and syllabus and the examination systems come under question. In this direction, the serious issue of committing suicides by the students is addressed. Correspondingly, the character of Mr. Joy has been depicted as an example facing the problems of datelines and the victimization of the rigid and anti-humanistic way of dealing students.
So, from above some examples towards the movie 3 Idiots we can see the genuine and creative filmography to bring the youth’s issue on surface.

Our Own Hands

Our Own Hands
Poem by Indira Shabnam ‘Indu’

How many vultures,
Have you been saved from?
You have evaded the
Jaws of many wolves
Without even being aware of it.
By a hair’s breath,
You have escaped,
Becoming a pawn
On the chess board
Why is all this happening to you?
Who had made you
Wear this armor?
Don’t you know
These hands?
Don’t you recognize
These hands?
They are your own hands!
