Elizabeth Taylor Wanted To Be Late For Her Own Funeral.

The very beautiful legendary Hollywood actress - Elizabeth Taylor left her last instructions that she wanted to be late for her funeral as her publicist announced. It was her parting wish that her funeral should start late and that is exactly how it all happened.


She died of a congestive heart failure on Wednesday and her four children were there with her at the time of her death. She was hospitalized at Los Angeles' Cedars Medical Center for about six weeks.


Elizabeth Taylor was buried at a family funeral in a California cemetery, which is the final resting place of many Hollywood celebrities including Elizabeth's good friend Michael Jackson.


Her funeral was attended by 50 family members. The funeral service began 15 minutes after the announced starting time and went on for one hour. Colin Farrell started the service by reading poetry and her grandson Morrison gave a trumpet performance.


Elizabeth Taylor got married eight times to seven husbands. She converted to Judaism before her wedding to Eddie Fisher in 1959. She had won three Academy Awards, one of them for her humanitarian work. She openly supported AIDS research when HIV was a very new thing in the world.


She went through 20 surgeries and operations in her life. In 1983, she admitted she had an addiction for sleeping pills and pain killers. She underwent treatment for her alcohol and drug abuse. In 1994-1995 she had to replace both her hip joints. In 1997, she got a surgery for her brain tumor.


The world lost a good person, a rare beauty and a great humanitarian worker with the death of Elizabeth Taylor. She always mentioned about her sad childhood - in fact she openly said she never really had a childhood because she was forced to work and earn money. This was one of the reasons why she was such a good friend of Michael Jackson, who suffered from an unhealthy childhood himself. Her last instructions were followed and she arrived late at her funeral just as she wished.

A Quote by Siddhartha Gautama Buddha

"When ignorant people see someone who is old, they are disgusted and horrified, even though they too will be old some day. I thought to myself: I don't want to be like the ignorant people. After that, I couldn't feel the usual intoxication with youth anymore.

When ignorant people see someone who is sick, they are disgusted and horrified, even though they too will be sick some day. I thought to myself: I don't want to be like the ignorant people. After that, I couldn't feel the usual intoxication with health anymore.

When ignorant people see someone who is dead, they are disgusted and horrified, even though they too will be dead some day. I thought to myself: I don't want to be like the ignorant people. After then, I couldn't feel the usual intoxication with life anymore."

Meherjaan - A Film That Has Opened Old Wounds

Meherjaan is a Bangladeshi film directed by Rubaiyat Hossain. It was released last month and was receiving positive response from the critics. However, the movie is not being received positively by the Bangladeshi people itself. So much so that the distributors have decided to pull off the film from all the cinemas of Bangladesh.


The movie is basically set in Bangladesh in the tough times of 1971 when Bangladesh was fighting for its liberation. The movie is about a love story between a Bangladeshi girl Meherjaan and a Pakistani soldier. The Pakistani soldier gets court martialled for refusing to participate in war crimes and atrocities. Jaya Bachchan and Victor Banerjee are part of the film cast which also attracted many serious film lovers.


But Bangladeshi audience is outraged and feel that the movie is degrading the sacrifices and wounds of the Bangladeshi women in particular. People are angry that why are they highlighting a love story of this sort when we know that at least 200,000 Bangladeshi women were raped by Pakistani soldiers at that time and at least 3 million Bangladeshis lost their lives at the hands of Pakistani soldiers. 


Four famous writers of Bangladesh wrote how this love story is demeaning the sufferings at the time of liberation war. One of the writer women was herself raped by a Pakistani soldier at that time. They feel this movie is an insult and a form of deception. Thus, the angry sentiments can not be reasoned with.


This was the first time a Bangladeshi film was being recognized by critics and now it is being pulled off from cinemas. The crew is being targeted in the form of a hate campaign for making this movie. The crew find this behavior irrational that everybody thinks that all Pakistanis were butchers and that there cannot be a single Pakistani soldier who could be good natured and who could rebel against the normal situation.


Well, for Bangladesh this is a sensitive topic. They cannot forget the bad times and the suffering during 1971. It is true they suffered badly and till this day they hold a grudge against Pakistanis. Thus, Meherjaan, despite promoting a different view is not going to be accepted by the people of Bangladesh. From the looks of it, the movie did seem pretty decent though. But we appreciate the filmmakers for looking at things from a different angle too. It is true that there will always be a few people who will look at things in a different way.

More on the Davis Murders

So far Pakistan's stance is that they are not going to return Raymond Davis to US as per their demand and constant request for diplomatic immunity. It is not really evident how come our government is pushing back so far...it is very much unlike our government. Experts feel it is because they fear that if they don't tackle this matter in a proper manner, public, which is already unhappy about the fact that a foreigner can so easily enter our country with mysterious business and so easily kills two people (even if they were muggers). 


As per some more reports, it is also being asked that why did Davis run away from the scene suddenly when he was very calm at shooting the boys, he got out of his car, made video of the bodies and so much so also talked to somebody on the wireless. These were strangely calm signs and no ordinary man who kills somebody in self-defence would act this way and then suddenly decides to run off.


Another important thing that is being pointed out is the fact that the boys were carrying not so impressive locally made pistols and one of them had no bullets in it also. So far there is no evidence if they even tried to fire at Davis in the first place. Most of the bullets were hit the boy at the back and not on the front...so were they actually shooting from their ass or what. It actually means they were either not looking at Davis or were moving away from his. From the way it is looking now, Davis seemed more of a threat to them in fact.


Raymond Davis said his intention was never to kill the men but he shot them 7 times. May be a common person who gets damn scared might not have any control and can do that in panic. But this trained man knew very well that so many shots would actually kill anyone.


US has itself acted in a mysteriously cheap manner. They have issued 3 different statements about Raymond Davis' identity each saying something different. The last one is their desperate attempt to prove that he was in fact a diplomat of some technical staff. 


Again, I'd say this case is naturally much more than we can see. Even a blind person could sense it if not see it. I don't know what would eventually happen and what would be the outcome. But America's stance has been disappointing. If somebody has killed somebody, he has committed a crime so what's the issue if he is dealt with in Pakistan's court.
