beasts eat only what is best for their body.
We mostly eat processed food and refined sugar. We pay heavily for
junk food, for Chinese dishes or deep fried snacks. As a result we
catch diseases. We have drifted away from mother nature. We laugh
at the rules of hygiene, healthy diet and the advice of our elders. This
has given rise to diabetes.

beginning there were silent, and black and white movies. Now we are
dazzled by the colours in every movie.
Big posters are seen on the walls of cities and towns for advertisements.
They also announce the coming movies in the city. There is always a rush
before the booking windows. So the tickets are often sold in the black
market or at a premium.

also a source of knowledge and information. Films satisfy all the sections of
people and their different tastes.
