The word of mouth

  We often heard in life that “The pen is mightier than the sword”. Yes, this is true but we never wonder about the authenticity of the work written by the pen.

What’s said by the critics and people around me gave me an impression about that movie was that it’s not worth anyone’s time to devote in such kind of movie and I was following the same rule taught to me “Not to question the authenticity”, unless and until one old friend of mine suggested that I should watch the movie and decide by myself instead of blindly following the word of mouth. Still I was not convinced because it’s easy to be with the majority then to take a stand. There are so many simple things in life we choose to ignore, so many rituals blindly followed that we didn’t even have the courage to question that! Why is that? Why are we the way we are? Mayb
