A Wednesday - a reminiscent experience

Well, just took a day out of the trash of summers process to break the monotony.... went around Chandni Chowk.... got a feel of Burrabazar after a while... then went around Dilli Haat with friends and enjoyed every bit of it.. oh ... great that I went there...
Then what a way to conclude it all - watched A Wednesday!
What a superbly delivered product... I hail Naseer... what a performance, particularly in the twenty minutes of climax... awesome...! Having read through the blasts.. in past few months - starting from Bangalore to the repeated one in Meharauli... a feeling of disgust was mounting up... and even stronger doubt about the perpetrators...
Then another thing I felt reminiscent about was the experiencing the "power of faith"... the one thing I read seriously in Psychology course[:p]. I mean the faith of a common man taking the whole system for a ride.. and the identification with it was really good.. Its tough to do so.. but couldn't help comparing it with "Aamir" but really can't make out - yes I feel easier to identify with the theme of former one.. Having seen the "stupid common man" throughout the day... I was really astonished.. there was hell of a queue at Chandni Chowk metro station and yet finding the first opportunity to escape . people grabbed it... obviating the fear of any untoward incident... similarly... people leaving behind the fear and having a good time at Dilli Haat...
I still ask myself.. like the character in the movie... "Is this resilience by force or by choice..!"
