Thn again, to each his own I guess... @sooraj 3 Long shots... @Smaran Definitely…along with Pan's Labyrinth, I thought COM was one of the best of 2006!

I agree to that. But it didnt strike me as a movie that deserves a second glance and you giving it a 10/10 is appalling. On a more solemn note, i do think that the world will drift into a state of doom..eventually that is. But the specifics, i do not know @Arijith: Humans have always found a way, but what if we find the way a little too late in the day. Thats when 'doom' sets in. @PS: Children of Men was an amazing movie visually. I agree to that. But it didnt strike me as a movie that deserves a second glance and you giving it a 10/10 is appalling.

The movie was also one of the best 2006 had to offer. I'd give it 9/10. I absolutely love the Children of Men soundtrack. The movie was also one of the best 2006 had to offer. I’d give it 9/10.

Now...we've already seen that there's a drastic change in weather...and who knows what could follow. As for hatred and hostility...yes yes...the youth of today are smart...but who exactly are the youth? There are more under 25 year olds in Rural India than in Urban India where all the surveys are done...and these guys pretty much follow their fathers' footsteps. A point in this favour is the fact that all these right wing protests of today are done by their respective 'Youth Wings' who have taken it upon themselves to uphold morality! Coming to the youth in cities...we're a very passive lot...we're too apathetic to actually do anything... I'm not saying that I don't believe in the goodness of humanity and such...I'm just saying things don't look so good what with all that's happening today! @Guru

Furthermore, I really think that we cannot predict or even have the authority to talk about "the world" unless and until you have seen the world. You are talking about pollution etc, sitting in India. Just a minute example of fight against pollution is Germany - who are fanatical about ecological conservation. The government has taken umpteen number of intitiatives are are doggedly following it to make sure that the environment is maintained the way it is. =)! Same goes for New Zealand, some more EU nations... =)! Just to refute the pollution and indifference to it aspect of the situation. However, I do agree with the "hatred and hostility" aspect of your analysis. However, you have to realize that the world is also changing. Once the "newer generation" comes into power, don't we have hope for a newer world, or you think we will also grow to have hatred and hostility? The scary part for me is the fact that the newer generation is a bunch of "don't cares" =|! I agree with Arijit.

At every point in history we've had problems that hadn't been surmounted till them. We'll find some way dont worry.. though i suppose neither of us will be around to bask in our predictions.. :D!!else i would have wagered a bet.. ;P! Thats the next step we have to take right..
