It's been sometime since I last teared watching a show. This movie broke the long standing 'apathetic-ness'. Three vaguely related story of three groups of people in the movie, unrevels the difficult issues in romance, family and work, that is non-fiction, bringing the audience face to face with the difficulties faced daily.

The response of the characters shows the need to be honest, earnest and reconcilation of the brokeness of life that we've been leading. It is in unforgiveness that we tear and the pain we continue to feed with secrecy.

I'm feeling the words -'all stories are one'- of Mitch Albom in his book 'Five people you meet in heaven' coming alive in the stories of these characters which are distincted and seperate that are somehow, in one way or another, so specially linked to each other through the same time and space, living under the same sky, enjoying the same fireworks and living through or entered into nowhere due to the merciless natural disaster - mega tsunami.


Jesus, you've made me whole
Now, that you've overcomed
It's my turn to be bold
coming out of this sheltered dome

Determined as a rock I am
Changing the circumstance's condemned

Excelling in the exams
Dropping the not-essentials
Bringing back a clean bill
Redeeming, dreaming, reflecting

Determined as a rock I am
Beautifying scenery of heart's land
