Be happy in one's own country

Habib Hussain of Moradabad who hid in a toilet on
an Air India flight from Saudi Arabia to return to
his own country. This case may open the eye of
many people. The attraction towards Gulf countries
and the thought of short cut way to earn
money, has been landing many people in trouble.
In many cases it has been found that the middle
man or the agent gives a rosy picture of Gulf jobs
and cheat people. Why should one leave one's own
land and be fleeced.

Aamir Khan,
a real hero
3 IDIOTS is, according to me, another good
commentary on the education system after
Taare Zameen Par. Though the plot of the
film doesn’t revolve around the education
system throughout, the film has clear
references to its poor state. Aamir Khan
seems to be championing the cause of
reforming education through his selection
of both these movies.
Aamir’s acting in the film makes it
quite apparent that the subject is close to
his heart. The second message of the movie
is also endearing. The film has conveyed the
need for being positive even in the bleakest
situation really well. The Aal Izz Well song
could be the title of movie.
Once again, Aamir has emerged the
real hero. He doesn’t just do movies but, as
a public figure, also takes his responsibility
towards society seriously. Will our
politicians, especially those in charge of
education, take a cue from him and
wake up?
