One&#8217;s passport is just a piece of paper, and yet it is a symbol of privileged membership in an imagined community &#8211; a symbol of belonging.
There are two aspects to citizenship that I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=pravasidesi.wordpress.com&blog=891706&post=72&subd=pravasidesi&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Terrible acting, and a storyline so weak it might as well be dead. Don&#8217;t waste your money. Seriously. Don&#8217;t let anyone PAY you to watch it. Unless they give you, say, at least three or four grand.
