The Best Thief
1. Ocean’s twelve:
It’s about 11 guys robbing under the shrewd leadership of George Clooney. All of a sudden they face a threat from another solo robber/thief (ref*2) who wants to prove that he is the best thief. Ultimately they both decide to steal the same object (golden egg) following the advice of the ex-best thief Gasper le marc.
2. Thief: he operates anonymously so you could not see him in action but definitely see what he has taken.
Robber: He will confront you and takes what he wants

Okay…lets start.
Last Tuesday I was watching Ocean's 12(ref:*1). in my hostel.The "best thief" part of the movie impressed me so much that I started to search for it over the internet.I started to search for gasper le marc(world's best thief according to the movie), but unfortunately it turned out that it was a fictitious character developed by the director of that movie .
As I was pondering, many questions arised like,,
How, one can really decide on the best thief without having a database of all the thieves?.
If such a database is available, on what basis the winner will be decided?
And who will decide that?
After few days of introspection I got the best answer for the question that was haunting me so long.
So,here is the answer,
Acoording to me, the best thief in the world is TIME.
If you ask, what has it stolen from us… well, the answer is almost everything.
our ability to
enjoy small trivial things,
ask questions ,
be innocent,
be creative,
get amused by very very little things,
treat everyone as equals irrespective of caste,creed,religion,sex,etc..
and finally be Ourself.
Some people don’t even know that they have been robbed, that is the worst thing that can happen ever to anyone,fortunately we are not in that pathetic situation
Now that we know the enemy how are we going to face him or handle him?
Before coming to facing the enemy, one more question “If you come to know that today is the last day you are going to be alive,what will you do?”
If your answer is ,I will enjoy every moment,carry out some altruistic work, observe and appreciate everything that is going around me,etc ………….the answer to face TIME is in TIME.
Today Is My End ….if we have this in our mind we will surely have few of those childish and child like qualities back…
If your answer is "I will lie down and cry"... am sorry to say “The thief has left nothing in you”
