Nice post criticizing PK

I don't want to read too much into the movie. It was an ok movie. I see that Hinduism gets the brunt of criticism but that is possibly because Hinduism happens to be the major religion. But I do agree with the article that the criticism is quite superficial and fails to appreciate genuine love and faith. For example, PK makes fun of rolling on the temple floor - but isn't it up to the practitioner to do what they want? I mean it might seem funny but it is an issue of faith and discipline - which is harder to discuss but easy to ridicule.

Anyway...

Well put

2015

Well - another year has passed. 2014 has been a happening year for me. a lot of thing changed - move from Montreal to Orlando. But, life is proceeding as usual. The transition is going Ok. Hopefully 2015 will make it more stable.

Lot of things happened this year - as usual some good and some bad. Overall, I am happy and fortunate to have this life and I am thankful for that.

Happy New Year all!
