that regenrates with even gretaer alacrity ...
every piece of land they fight for has seen more men resting inside than it than living with it..
chilling confessions of Ali tells its not a war that could be won..its just fought regardless of outcome...
and there is no Gita sermon to prop it..
but its the same heat for a home ...
which would never be coz we would be too busy protecting it...
steven spielberg's another classic..
