Guardians of the Galaxy - Volume 3 - Critique

 Spoiler Alert!

A movie is truly enjoyed when you know nothing that is about to shown. That however has become an impossibility since every feature that is released has a trailer to attract audiences to watch it. The trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy - Volume 3, looked like the costume designer was short on budget but upon watching the movie everything falls into place. The movie covers the vast expanses of the outer space showing different extraterrestial species. Although the movie began with Rocket Racoon's origin story. Through the entire story the movie cuts to the past showing how Rocket came to be. What made him so bitter and ruthless towards the world. The Antagonist is a mad scientist who is disatisfied with the natural creation and tries to enhance living creatures using machines and chemicals. Rocket was a curious little racoon when he gets his hands on rocket for the first time. He puts Rocket through painful procedures, adding mechanical parts into his body and enhancing his brain. This makes rocket really clever and the antagonist learns from his initial failures to create more enhanced creatures. Rocket meets other creatures in a cage where he is put into and becomes friends with them. When Rocket learns about the antagonist's true intentions he plans an escape. During this one of his friend who he really loves is killed. This fills him with rage and he rips of the antagonist's face off before escaping. 

Peter Quill discovers that he has a deep viod within himself at the end of the movie after meeting Gamora from the past and expressing his love for her. He tells her that she is basically the same person he was with. She however, disagrees. The dynamics between Nebula, Drax and Mantis speak a lot about human values. How different people bring different abilities to the relationship and how each person is uniquely essential. Groot finally reveals his feelings in words for the first time. Groot is shown doing things that he had never done in the previous film. Adam Warlock's character is introduced for the first time in this movie, he is shown as someone who acts from the heart not the mind. The background of "The soveriegn" is also revealed in this movie. Kraglin finally learns how to control the arrow after seeing Yondu in a vision.

All over it was a movie which people can easily relate to. The humour was planned well to give the audiences emotions close to that of reality making them laugh. There were parts in the movie when one would tear up also. 

There are talks which say that this is was the last guardians movie. However one can't be sure of anything when it comes to marvel.

Mindfullness for pain

Yes, I felt pain.

It was hard 

to stay sane.

I felt bad,

going through 

moments that 

made me sad.

Was it your fault? 

Or was it mine?

Was it the situation? 

Or just the time?

Is this god's

divine plan?

To see if I

do what I can't?

I fell to my knees

wished my heart

didn't beat.

Got so hard for

me to breathe.

I couldn't move,

even if i wanted to.

Felt helpless,

felt hopeless and

felt worthless.

Wanted death to

swallow me then.

Back to the

beginning again.

Am I a victim?

Or a prisoner

of my own sin?

What do I do?

Where do I go?

I seem to have

lost my path.

Will it be you

that I let go

from the depths

of my heart?

If I had to kill

a part of myself.

I wish it

wasn't you.

If you could see

what I mean.

You would know 

my love is true.

Like a child

here I stand.

In this wild

And free land.

Wishing you

would understand.

However, this goes.

There is one thing,

I must know.

Love and faith

can't be forced.

This is the

truth I will

accept and 

continue to grow.

Although,

this has happened

so many

times before.

Somehow

it never seems

to get old.

To find a

good person.

To love

and to be

loved in return.

Is all anyone

ever wants

but cold

betrayal awaits all,

at every turn.

Every heart

that beats

has felt the burn.

Oh Love,

your entirety

I will never

be able to learn.

To be better

than I was yesterday.

For serenity,

strength and wisdom

I pray.

Then I try

to see more

than what meets

the eye.

Not to make

anyone cry.

Never to speak

a single lie.

If our

paths divide,

I just hope to 

I get to say

goodbye.

Six Sided Star

Will someone tell me, where my mind is?

Searching but I can't seem to find it.

Who is saying all these words?

Fighting to let go in this race of firsts.

All this chaos unravelled a road.

Hoping it'll take us to our abode.

Will they, won't they, doubts remain.

He say, She say, rumours pour like rain.

What would it feel like,

to be close tonight?

In my arms they lie,

the truth we can't deny.

Growing like it has a reason,

my heart has found its season.

Friends they come and go

the beholder does know.

For those eyes that have seen,

the feelings were simple yet keen.

The hearts that have felt

the memories are all that is left.

Now you come to us,

with your broken promises,

to take what once was,

a life full of love.

How do we address,

in this mindless,

game of chess?

Who gets more and less?

Lost and found

Here we are going to discuss the emotions pertaining to the words "Lost and Found". It is an emotion which is a combination of multiple emotions acting in a sequence. When we loose something it makes us feel bad or we feel sad. The feeling of loss is a negative emotion. This often makes us feel powerless and weak. On the other hand when we gain or achieve something, it makes us feel happy. The feeling of winning is a positive emotion. Which makes us feel capable and strong. Now when we have something then loose it and finally find it back again. We feel a joy which is greater than that of just having something. If there were an instrument which could measure the levels of positivity and negativity of emotions; it would show that positivity the positive emotion of winning is not as much as the positive emotion of winning after a loss. 

Like the bollywood movie, Baazigar. Where the Anti-Hero says.

"Haar ke jeetne waale ko baazigar kehte hai."

SPOILER ALERT !!!

Sadly there's no happily ever after for him as he dies in the end of the movie.

Having a pet.

 Ever wondered that if you had the choice of having any animal as a pet, what pet would you have? Also while you are busy deciding what animal you would like to keep as a pet. Think of a reason why you chose that particular animal and not others. 

Pets can be left to live on their own or can be trained to be more responsive to what the human wants from them.

Having a pet is both responsibility and fun. As long as you can provide the animal with enough space which acts as its natural enviraonment and give the animal enough food so that its not hungry, you can pretty much keep any animal as a pet.

People love having birds as pets. All kinds of birds can be kept as pets. 

The most common pets are cats and dogs. The more you love your pets the more they love you back.

Few people have a pet mouse or a hamster.

Few people keep animals with them to gain benifits from them. Like hens, ducks turkeys, pigs, goats, sheep, cows, buffalos, etc. These animals provide meat, milk, wool and leather. 

Some people keep exotic and wild animals as pets. Elephants, Lions, cheetahs, leopards, tigers, etc. It shows their status in a society. That they have enough to feed themselves as well as their pets.

Animals such as horses, donkeys camels, snow dogs, etc; are also used as a means of transportation.

Aquariums are also commonly seen at many places since it is easy to maintain small fishes.

Few humans like to keep snakes, lizards, chamelions, tarantulas as a pet. This is more of a statement about their fearless attitude. It could also mean having empathy levels that go beyond the visual appearance of a living being.

Undergoing Excision

With you we end,

with you we begin.

In my heart they live,

everyone who has touched this skin.

Carrying many secrets,

every record of moments they've seen.

To let the world know,

of the places they've been.

Collecting experiences like treasure,

hoping it would help them win.

Unforgetable consequences,

that taught them how to sin.

They can't go back and change,

don't know if they are out or in.

How can they tell that its over,

when they aren't sure if it needs to begin.

Tell them what is the point of

fighting a war against your twin.

If you loose a winning battle

would you still keep that grin.

These lives that know the answers

have no reason to lower their chin.

Every existence is

a life which is paper thin.

Pop these ego inflated balloons

with your all knowing and righteous pin.

Dump all that they hold dear

into the garbage bin.

Swimming in the ocean

of the original sin.

Closing in from the horizon,

when they see that shark fin.

It will be you,

who will be known as the has been.

The Eternal Now.

 There's a saying in hindi, "Laathon ke bhoot, baathon se nahi maante."

This translates to "Those ghosts who have gotten used to being physically punished, won't concur to words."

I would like to wonder, "Why?", this is the case. The ghost in this situation would be me and I am not looking to physically harm myself in anyway. Yet, I would like to wonder, "Why?". I know what is right and wrong for me and have the clairvoyance to see where certain decisions would take me. Yet I fail, time and time again to do the thing that is right. I don't think being impulsive is a wrong thing. I don't even think I am driven by impulses as much as I'd like to admit. I am fine with what has happened and since I have no control over what the future holds I don't need to be anxious about it. What I am really concerned about, is the present moment. The eternal now! Somehow, the more I try to gain control over what is, the more it slips out of reach and when I let go, it is right there. Knowing this is how the state of existence is, I let go, hoping that I will achieve it and I don't. You can fool the entire world for the entirety of your mere existence on this planet but you will never be able to fool yourself. This is a universally known fact, I think we all know this because there is a little bit of universe in us and inturn we are a small part of it. Not going to admonish myself for my actions that brought me here. Not going to control my feelings or thoughts that will take me somewhere in the future.

I don't know what it is that I want to convey. I am not a perfect being and will always have flaws, but there is nothing wrong with aiming to be, the best version of me, I can possibly be. Whether the world judges that as good or bad is none of my concern. As long as I am better than yesterday, doing no harm to myself or others and never loosing sight of what tomorrow brings; I will be fine.

Not another love poem.

I guess loving you came naturally

because this is not our first love story.

Back to the same romance.

Life gave me a second chance.

Don't know the reason, why.

Doesn't make sense even if I try.

We have been here before. 

The future holds a lot more.

Even if i wanted, I can't tell, how i do,

but I do know the past of me and you.

I could be living in a delusion.

I have come to love this illusion.

If this is a dream,

I request society to not scream.

I don't want to wake up,

don't need a heads up.

Life isn't always a straight path.

Calculating but they won't get the math.

Let this not make any sense.

Reality can't be seen by our lens.

They try to give it labels.

Compare it with fables.

Calling out the shibboleth.

In a single deep breath.

Let them try, let them fail,

for this ship has set its sails.

They say we're doomed, it can't be

but don't know the chronicles of you and me.

A lover can be a friend.

Someone to stick it out till the end.

We are more than just a bond.

Out of nothing this love has spawned.

You're more addictive than cocaine.

Your absence causes actual physical pain.

If, from your heart, I get displaced.

I will never have my memory erased.

For these feelings give me purpose,

to do more than noting this corpus.

Living life in this circus,

I sometimes think I am Miley Cyrus,

riding on a wrecking ball,

flying before being able to crawl.

I try hard to lay low.

To you, I can't say no.

So now I know that you know.

We only can reap what we sow.

This is no social video game.

My love has no aim.

I want to believe life hasn't taken a toll,

I know most of life is out of control.

Every song I listen to

reminds me of you.

After all that we have been through 

every moment together still feels brand new.

A Warrior's Heart

Starting at the very beginning

seems like a good place to start.

Let me tell you a little secret

I know about a warrior's heart.

Its been stabbed and wounded

this is something we all know.

There are more scars it carries,

on the surface these will never show.

To trust, love and care

is what it does best.

These virtues were self taught,

it hasn't been loved like the rest.

It's good at forgiveness,

and has learnt self-repair.

However, on sensing betrayal 

it quickly retracts.

So, when it moves on

there's no turning back.

Running wild like a river,

always in a state of flow.

Assembling purpose

to intuitively go.

It doesn't have great expectations 

and knows that life isn't always fair.

It has been played with and trampled on

has its origins in the darkness of space,

yet like a big bang in nothingness,

it has power to put a smile on any face.

Can tell a lot of stories,

capable of play and fun.

Always looking for adventure

even if it's dying under the sun.

It can move mountains,

it can stand still.

It doesn't need a metronome,

to do its drill.

It does what it wills,

cannot be forced.

Could be the reason

for its guilts and remorse.

Sometimes it wavers

and falls off its feet.

Then gets up and running

by the very next heart beat.

It knows what it wants

and burns like fire.

It doesn't stop

until it achieves its desire.

Most hearts quit at failure,

this doesn't know, when to.

Every success is a result

of what it has been through.

Extraordinary is a norm

for it rejoices in the mundane.

Experiencing moments by their nature

everything from pleasure to pain.

Always living on the edge

was not a self made choice

but this lifestyle

became its voice.

Fighting countless battles

it became super strong.

It is big, full of life

and can tell right from wrong.

When two roads diverge

it doesn't hesitate to choose its lane.

It knows when to indulge

and when to abstain.

Its real value became

clearer with each stride.

It knows what it's worth,

there is no false pride.

Closing itself from the world,

was never a difficult task.

To find a place in here,

all one has to do, is truly ask.

If another is

its genuine friend.

For this being

it will meet Its end.

Having faced the worst,

it feels no fear

and when it cries,

it doesn't shed a tear.

Sometimes it's stuck  in a loop of feelings,

unlike a bullet from a gun,

Such as a moment in the jump, without a parachute,

from the edge of space into the ocean.

There are times it stops pumping blood.

and pumps lava instead.

It can be hurtful,

with poison, it's been fed.

It does get sad, angry,

jealous and insecure.

One must understand that

the broken need time to cure.

It is not perfect, it's flawed,

it is not unaware, it does know.

It listens to what feels right,

to learn and grow.

Hearts like these are rare

and if you are around one,

beware of your actions

and tread with caution.

On a journey of

infinite lifetimes, you will impart.

When you fall in love with 

a warrior's heart.
