There's always room

So, my strife in being regular on the blog continues. Much has happened since my last post. Term II over. Currently in the midst of term III, trying to grope with corporate finance, operations management and the like... and the mid-term exams hovering around..

Watched this movie yesterday - 'Hotel Rwanda', based on the true account of the 1994 crisis of Rwanda.
An inspirational movie, that just makes you think so many things -
about the human nature, the hatred that 'God only knows why' is sweeping all around, the state of International Politics, the ineffectiveness and helplessness of organizations like UN.
But then, even in this darkest of hour, there are certain souls, who have the courage to take a stand and to serve selflessly with their heart...when there's no hope.

Starring Don Cheadle, as Paul Rusesbagina, the manager of a 4-star hotel in Kagila - the capital of Rwanda, this 2004 movie brings forth the horrifying Tutsi and Hutu clash of 1994 - to which the rest of the world simply shut its eyes out.
Amidst this macro-event, this is the true personal story of Paul and his courageous attempt in saving more than 1200 lives.
Though sad and disturbing, this movie is, on the contrary, about courage, hope and compassion for our fellow beings.... no matter how constrained, how tough the times may be.
As Paul says towards the end - 'There's always room'
