A Movie n some thoughts

Yesterday was watching a movie.. some typical bolywood melodrama but with a twist. Two friends, one boy n one girl.. very good friends too. Boy loves some other girl.. and Girl loves some other boy ... hehehe... its confusing.. :( well to cut a long story short the Girl from the friends duo has the engagement to her love.. Friend (boy) is very happy. The Groom to be goes to the land of opportunities to .. hmm may be get some opportunities.. and then disaster.. the girl gets raped.. Friend boy is a little late to arrive on scene .. but sees the rapist running away.. so follows.. but then accident.. and the rapist meets with an accident and goes up in flames..

The friends decide to keep the rape a secret. neways the rapist is dead.. an then like all Hindi movies disaster strikes again.. Girl is pregnant and everyone believes that the 2 friends have done it.. no one buys the rape story.. not even the Loves of both of their lives.. The friends stand by each other and decide to marry to support the other.. well with a few twists and turns.. by the end of the movie they realize they do love each other now.. and its happily ever after.. hey forgot.. Girl has an Medical complicacy n cant abort (that's the reason why everyone gets to know in the first place neways...).. so they keep the child and now they have a family.. :)

But now the burning question !!!

In reality.. i.e. in practical life.. Will some one be able to accept the fruit of the rape.. Will the child not bring in the memories of the crime.. Can the husband .. or the victim.. accept the child..
Well.. Rape is the most heinous of crimes.. You are not injuring a body.. you are maiming the mind.. being a Man and not one of the loyal kinds.. may be I will never understand the pain of the violation my body.. or the effect it has on my psyche.. but will the new life bring something to look forward to.. may be its just a personal opinion.. well to make myself clear I don't say no to abortion.. Its a matter of choice really if the child is unwanted.. if the future is not assured and the parents confident about the decision then it better be terminated. Coming back the to the case we are discussing I think any negative in life can be negated by a strong positive. A loss can only be balance with a gain. So will it not be possible for the victim to accept the child as the compensation for the wrong done to her and accept the child. Its neway her part only and its no fault of the child to be a part of a Crime. If you accept adoption as a acceptable option to have a child then why not this.

The movie really touched me .. not that the movie was that well made or can it boast of good dialogue and superb acting.. but just that the issue touched a nerve somewhere.. I was really touched by the tenacity of the guy in bring his friend back to life. The devotion, the sacrifice.. Well you could predict the movie including the dialogues easily.. usual Hindi movie stuff u know.. you have seen one.. you have seen most of them.. but the thought was good. Hey digressing from my topic now.. I really get enamored with the concept of Love Vs. Friendship.

Cant say I am clear about where each stands or what exactly defines love or what defines friendship.. but would love to argue ne day.. chalo may be someday will post my arguments on that..

we always fight with the conditioned mind...mind which adopts norms and condition of the society never our own.

I truly agree with the sentence
"If you accept adoption as a acceptable option to have a child then why not this"
