"Motorcycle Diaries"-- Movie tribute to CHE.

Ernesto che Guevara………….The most inspiring name world over and always a morale booster for down trodden, outcasts, people on the fringes of society, he carried the idea of world as one unit and above petty nationalism, regionalism, boundaries and language barriers ..but although I do not identify with his ideology….believing strongly in India as a nation and free commerce as a way out, I still believe overcoming prejudiced social hurdles for unhindered growth, there are many communities, tribes, castes, energies which need to liberated and here che as ideology wins.

The Movie ‘Motorcycle diaries’, journey of friends Alberto & Ernesto across the American continent starting from Buenos aires- Argentina on their motorbike affectionately called ‘Mighty one’ through Andes into Peru via Chile where they see natives ousted from there ancestral lands by greedy mining corporations, in Peru they encounter proud bearers of INCA traditions still and that strikes something within Ernesto, their three months stint in a leper colony within green forests gives that humanist edge to churning mind of Ernesto, the Mighty AMAZON river acts a metaphor for divide between healthy and unhealthy of this world which Ernesto crosses over by sheer physical effort.
Over all a greatly shot movies , just saw it on ZEE MGM morning show..beautiful south American locales(Mayank would recall his Peru journey…where that thick blanket like jacket which you bought from Lima is?), its like Budhha achieving enlightenment , Che transits into the revolutionary leader immediately after this and fights shoulder to shoulder with Castro for Cuban revolution and than moves over to Bolivia, his death a conspiracy was jolt to South America .

Long live Che....Long live Subhash...Long live Savarkar....Long live Mahatama .
