THE JOKER

" Why so serious? Why so serious? Let's put a SMILE on that face!"....welcome to a new brand of
villains ....." the world deserves a better class of criminals " and Joker definately gave us one ......for once a superhero movie didn't actually turn out to be one of conventional types . The Dark Knight certainly exceeded the expectations I had with it ( it's a different point that I had few ) ....It was Heath all the way ....right from the start where he kills everybody while robbing the bank ....to making the pencil disappear ....... then the way he clapped when he heard Gordon has been promoted(the look on his face was amazing ) ......the way he walks out of the hospital while blowing it ...... beating batman up with a stick to standing right in front of batman and saying "hit me " .....Let's be honest with it ...for once the superhero flick looked realistic atleast by the content of it .....You put both spiderman and superman in front of this one and they both will get their asses kicked ( on a second thaught their asses is not even worth it so let's forget about them ) ....the point still remains the same ....this was different ......atleast as I interpratated it ....the joker won( the only other movie I remember currently where the villain actually succeded is "se7en ") ....Not even once in the movie the batman outscored the Joker ( thaught he didn't even open his account but that's far fetched so let's stick to the previous line ) ....As Harvey Dent said you can't be descent in an indescent world ...in such a world morality doesn't exist , everything should be left to chance ...coz it's the only thing that's fair ...no prejudices no cheating ...just chance . Joker was their to prove his point and he did ..." You got to find the ace in the whole " which he did ...Harvey Dent ...the hero of Gotham ..even he fell for it ....Why be good anyway? The lengthy (actually was praying the film not to end )Dark Knight is dripping with moral musings and conundrums worthy of an ethics thesis . You had every ethical crisis here ....whether it was Batman's decision to save Harvey instead of Rachel or ......batman's willingness to turn himself in ,in order to save the killings or Harvey's act of surrendering was just a heroic act or he did what was needed to be done ...Why did Wayne did not say anything when Harvey surrendered ....Gordon decision to show the good side of the dead ,two faced Harvey or the little boy's question in the last to his father "but the Batman did nothing wrong".....everything rang a bell in my mind ....Should we really pay the price for somebody else's doing or be like them .....Well hat's off to Heath for carrying out the role so wonderfully well ..... may he teach a lesson up there too ...so that even God get's the taste of the real world .....In the end would just like to pen down some of my favorite dialogues of Joker

1)"see to them u r just a freak !...like me !!!"
2)"I am a man of Simple taste"
"I like explosives, Gunpowder and Gasoline"
"Why do everything for money. This city deserves a better class of criminals and Im gonna give it to them."
"Tell your men they work for me now"
3)"If you're good at something, never do it for free. " MY PERSONAL FAVOURITE
4)I am lik a dog running behind d cars.. i dunno wat i 'll do if i caught one, i jus do it
5)"this is what happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object"
"madness is like gravity...all it need is just a little push"
6)"Wanna know how I got these scars? My father was....a drinker. And a fiend. And one night he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. Turns to me and he says "Why so serious?" Comes at me with the knife,"Why so serious?" He sticks the blade in my mouth. "Lets put a smile on that face!" And..... WHY SO SERIOUS?"?
7)The Joker: Let's turn the clocks back. A year ago, these cops and lawyers wouldn't dare cross any of you. I mean, what happened? Did your - did your balls drop off? Hmm?
8)"Take a situation and add anarchy, u get chaos. I am agent of chaos. I just try to show them how pathetic their attempts top control things are. You had plans look wher that got ya. So when i say that u and ur girlfriend was nothing personal u knw im telling the truth"

Something that needs to be understood

Rationality is the only concept on which this world could survive . You can never have fairer distribution of wealth because it's not rational . A man's wealth is a direct consequence to it's ability . I take wealth as the materialistic depiction of happiness . You allow people to predate on other man's ability without efforts of his own and there in you sow the seeds of failure of the whole system of peaceful co - existence . Rationally speaking if you yourself are not ready to sacrifice for others at the cost of your own wealth how could you expect other people to ,do the same for you in the name of social responsibility .Responsibility is one word which I hate to use with the world social . What in God's name do you mean when you say a rich man is socially responsible for the upliftment of poor people. How could you possibly justify this . The minute a person uses the word responsibility . as his escape goat to sail away on the concept that a person has to pay because of his failure to remain in the same level as incapable people . The very moment he is expected to give the so called ability tax , that very moment people blew away their only chance to make a progressive world . The world needs consistency to survive . For this there should be atleast something you need to keep constant , and that something should be a product of various human variables . According to me the constant should be rationality and rest all variables must be varied in such a way so that at all times it remains unchanged ............HOPING FOR A BETTER FUTURE.

Success

I tell them that I am happy ,
but I know it's a lie .
I keep on smiling ,
but all I want to do is just to cry .

With all the birds soaring high,
I don't even know where is my sky.
My every attempt to copy their's ,
brings me down,
closer to the ground.

There is always a hidden road to success,
That's what people say ,
But all I want to ask them,
Is that the only way ?
If success is so inevitable,
then why not me ?
Or is it too narrow
that I just cannot see.?

The answer to all this ,
I think my heart always lies,
that a day would come
when even you would touch the skies........

MY CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD 2

Wondering at the path to take ,
I stood at the convergence of the two ways .
Confused , knowing not what to do ,
But then, like always ,God came to my rescue.
"Close your eyes ,
I'll take you through the path,
Then my son you decide ,
But, please remember to be wise ."


Seeing a child with a bag in his hand ,
"Who is this " , I asked .
"He's your son." God replied.
And then pointing at a beautiful woman,
Who's every breath seemed full of life,
God said ," That's your wife."
For a moment ,
my lips were sealed,
Every single wound in my heart seemed,
to have been healed.
"Should we proceed ?" God asked .
Before I could answer
She disappeared ,and everything changed,
A man which I recognised as myself appeared,
Everything else was cleared.
Holding a bag in my hand
I was walking in the sand .
Trying to find my way,
Craving for the place where my goals lay.

"Do you want to know where this road ends ?"
With nothing else to defend
"I know " I replied with a deep sense of loss.
And then after a pause
"Can you show me the other road ?" I asked
"No ,cause that's the one no one has passed,
It's unique for everyone ,
Decided according to the things he has DONE .
Just follow your heart ,
And there are no pains that's going to last ."

Now, my son, are u still confused.
"No" replied I with a determined look
"Regardless of the path I took,
There is only one dream that I am going to chase. "
"And , what's that my son " asked God .
" I want to die with a SMILING face .........................

MY CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD

Do you love her ?
Do you want to be with her ?
be the reasons for her smile,
Standing for her always,
ensuring her life flows unabated like the Nile.
Without even a pause
"yes " I replied.

Do you want to share her happiness?
be her guide to the winding paths of life,
hold her hand,
leading her to the right path ,
even if she closes her eyes.
Without even a pause ,
"yes " I replied.

Then my son , I'll grant you a wish
When she needs help ,
When she needs somebody ,
Do you want to be the first she turns to ?
I paused for a while
" Since the wishes that you grant are few"
My heart was beating very fast
"Doesn't matter to me if I'm not the first "
"But bless me that I would be the last ."
God just saw me and just smiled.

TIME PASS 4

The emptiness in the sea,
rattles the confused me.
Why is it so calm ,
Without any worries or alarm?
Has it nothing to say ,
to the sadness of the day?
Why doesn't it show any light ,
To the darkness of the nights?

The waves rising and falling ,
became my tutor,
And told me,
calmness in the sea lasts ,
cause it has no past .
it's like a suture ,
cause it doesn't cares for the future.
Future is always bright ,
Past is always a fright .
Keep past out of mind ,
and leave the future behind .
God is always on that side
Which finds solace inside.
Try to feel this delightful scent ,
And you would be able to enjoy the present.

TIME PASS 3

Lying in the couches of silence
My mind jumps into that blurring past,
Where nothing is to remember
and no memories which could last .

Burned down to ashes ,
and flown away by the tides of time ,
Everything has been wiped out ,
Leaving behind no signs .

But still in that ashes
It found out something,
and brought back what was lost ,
A memory which was broken ,
A memory which was lost .

Reminding me
Of those few moments in the past ,
Telling me they weren't the last ,
Giving the hope they would come again ,
Relieving me of all my pains .

Unknowingly a smile comes to my face ,
the beleif returns to me ,
That God has something in store for everyone ,
And someday even my wishes would be done .
