INVICTUS....

Yeasterday I saw a beautiful movie.
INVICTUS...
now Invictus is also a poem William Henely and the meaning of the poem is shown very beautifully in the movie.
The movie itself is based on true story staged in SOUTH AFRICA during the presidential tenure of Nelson Mandela. It shows how Nelson Mandela used his team to set an example for his people and to unite his country. A great movie to watch. For me its somehow inspiring, specially the last two lines of poem which goes in the background.

"I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."

I am pasting the poem under for u all to read so may be any one of you could also find it good for them...

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

William Ernest Henley

Chapter 4- The Experience...An Unlawfull.....

The Preparation I had till now decided to go for the assignment and prove myself after all opportunity never comes again and again on your door. I was a bit excited from inside and a little bit nervous too. That time I could say it was a mixed type of feeling on percentage basis it could be, 50% excitement and 50%  fear, or 80% excitement and 20% fear, or may be vice verca i.e., 20% excitement and 80% fear. Well I really was not able to understand what I was feeling at that time and thats the best part of it. Sometimes getting out of your comfort zone helps to you see the things in this world which you really admire, events from which you take lessons and memories which you cherish through your whole life, and thats really what all life is all about. Isn't it????? So I started the preparations ... What I needed for this kind of assingment, I sat down on my chair in the cabin and listed down all the things on my note pad. The list was something...

Chapter 8- An Experience....The Unlawful one...!!!

The Tipsy Turn As I followed the vehicle I called my office at Delhi to give the instant report that I was behind the vehicle which I thought was the testing vehicle. It was also to let them call and confirm from the informer that I was behind the actual vehicle only which was supposed to be used during the tests. My doubts about the vehicle were cleared instantly over the phone as they also got it confirmed from their informer that the it was the same vehicle which was going for tests. Though the informer didn't knew that I was behind the vehicle but his info was a bit relaxing for me. We continue to keep pace with vehicle while maintaining the appropriate distance from it as to not to arise any suspicion. The road was having ups and downs just like peaks and valleys as it is on hill roads and we were losing and gaining sight of the vehicle regularly. These ups and downs were there because the whole area was built on the plateau by cutting rocks and clearing bushe...
