My Name Is Khan - My review

A short sweet review of the movie My Name is Khan. SRK is an autistic guy, who falls in love with a hindu girl Kajol and marries her. But as a result of the marriage, Kajol's son from earlier marriage is killed due to the surname Khan after 9/11 attacks. Kajol tells SRK to go tell President of US that "My Name is Khan, and I am not a terrorist." The rest of the movie about SRK's journey to get to the president and his adventures including helping a community affected by hurricane, running out of money and walking loong distance doing repairs on the way and taking free rides. Its a bit dragging, needn't be three hours long. Could have been shorter. But a good movie. would give 3 stars.

What does Sajda mean

Sajda or Sajdah (Prostration, Worship, Adoration) has an important part in Islam.  There is also a chapter in Quran Surat As-Sajdah (Arabic: سورة السجدة‎) it is the 32nd Surah of the Qur'an with 30 verses.

Prostration is also found in the Torah, Bible, Zen Avesta, Bhagvad-Gita etc which were before the Quran, and it is important in many other religions.
