Hotel Mumbai: A History Painted by Terror (A Moview)

Hemant Oberoi: [to his staff] We should try to gather whoever we can. Many of you have families at home. There is no shame in leaving.
Butler Jamon: I have been here thirty-five years. This is my home.

Before we do the review, let’s just take a quick recap of whatever is happening in the news right now. Just a week ago, many of us were shocked by the news that a shooting attack happened in New Zealand and the gunman had filmed the whole thing live. Many of us, I’m sure, has witnessed the gruesome killing and we all pray for the souls of those who died.

The attack happened in Christ Church Mosque, stealing the lives of 50 of our Muslim friends and 50 more was left injured.

Just exactly a week after the attack, Hotel Mumbai was released. (Although the movie was pulled out and not released in New Zealand in respect for the event.) I know some of us might think it’s not important but I think the movie was released just in the perfect time.

For those who haven’t watched the movie, please do so. And of course, we will have to start this moview with a disclaimer.

Disclaimer: Everything that is written is a product of a research and a news compilation. This blog is merely about an opinion from my side being and with all of my might, I sincerely pray together with the families of all the deceased in both Mumbai and New Zealand Attacks.

This blog is written to review the Hotel Mumbai movie and to talk about the recent event that happened in New Zealand. Some facts about the Taj Hotel attack will be mentioned too.

We All Have That One Ex…

“Don’t end up with a man who sounds like me, who say the things I say, who can make you smile just like I did. End up with someone who will do things that won’t remind you of me.” – Verbal words from my Ex to me.

They said that a love that is in the past, is a love that has to be forgotten, but what if that love was the only thing that keeps reminding you of how much it hurts to find another one again? Well, the famous quote from Alfred Lord Tennyson, “‘Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.” is just a perfect explanation of everything I would want this blog to be understood of.

I’ve heard it from different people, they said it is hard to let go of something that you used to love and cherish; it is hard to let go of that person who made you feel so special and it is hard not to take your hopes up and expect for something better.

Over time, I realized how moving on doesn’t only mean you are over the person but moving on also means that you have forgotten the feeling and the regret you have when you let them go.

We all have that one ex that made us walk through a high bridge or touch the sky even if you look like a fool; that one person who made us feel like we are in a cloud 9 and that the world stops revolving around us when we’re together; that one person who made us eat veggies and home made fries instead of burgers and fries from fast food chains because they just do so and that one person who made us more comfortable watching movies leaning on their shoulders or spending the night over instead of partying with friends because they know that we have an exam coming for the next day.

ROAN” during the first meeting, which was really weird And yes, I’ve got … Continue reading My name is…..

A Touch of Difference

(this is for my assignment, a reaction paper for my history subject concerning how to make history subject interesting for students:)) With regards to the article concerning History subject, I must say, that article was just one of the many articles that evaluate History subject and teachers. We all know that somehow there’s this difficulty in relating ourselves when we study History, because of the … Continue reading A Touch of Difference
