Gulliver...!!



a scene i remember so much...!



Few days ago i was arranging the old books to make a space for the new ones as it's really turning into a mess with this number of books evwhere @ home.

i found the old stories of Gulliver(a virgin for kids i guess),..surely many many ppl from different generations know them. i think i had read them 10 years ago or mayb more ,..i also watched the movies but i guess not the whole series ,...i actually remember them vaguely but last summer i was chatting with diff people about old stories & movies ,..one of them was Gulliver....!!!

@ that time i just remembered it as a nice memory from childhood & i wished to c the movies or sth ,..but long after that i suddenly felt it in another way. i noticed that Gulliver was stranger evwhere,..whenever he went he was different. on his voyage to Lilliput he was the largest person among a world of little ppl,..on the contrary on his voyage to Brobdingnag he was a so little one among huge huge ppl .

so he was always the stranger for reasons out of his hand,...he was created that size & he had nothing to do with it ,..he was seen as a freakin giant & after a while he was seen as a freakin dwarf .....it was not his problem after all ....& he had to suffer for along time before the others could accept him as he is ....!!!
