Delhi 6 - It's easy to HATE...difficult to LOVE???"

Delhi 6 is pin code, you no longer use, of Chandni Chowk, old Delhi.

Film critics (big intelligent people) say it’s not bad I say it’s good.

Characters not to be ignored: Gobar, Jalebi, Fakir with a mirror, Hanuman devotee Muslim shopkeeper, and of course Mashakali (pigeon)…Kala Bandar (Hate)

The movie is full of metaphors and brilliant narrative of internal turmoil of characters. As a people we are not free. And to get freedom what all is at stake, family, culture, values, society, religion and our eternal propensity to hate (KALA BANDAR (monkey) in the movie).

Lessons: The character Gobar (mean: duffer) was a common household help but with uncommon intelligence. Ordinary people (Jalebi and Gobar) possess extraordinary understanding of issues. Their questions are better (any time) than so-called well educated / elite and especially better than our politicians who get money to ask questions in the parliament.

Question: why it’s so easy to hate, find difference and disagree and so difficult to LOVE unconditionally?
