Is there hope beyond hope?

Very Recently a Indian POW got released from Pakistan Jail after 35 years in Jail and getting close to executed couple of times. While we may treat this as any other news , it will be worth remembering what this person must have gone through in last 35 years and what must be going on in his mind at the time of release ? will his family will recognise him, will he recognise his family , what if no one owns him ? What if no one from his family is even there. This may be some of the few questions. A very tragic but interesting case .

Salute to those POW and there families who are still in foreign Jails for aeon's but are still hoping everyday that some day they will be free and able to see there husband , kids, wife ,parents and all near and dear one.

On a different note, how easy will be for these released POW to adjust to new life ? . A similar scene was well captured in the movie on " Shwasank Redemption" where the old librarian got released from prison after 30+ year but he was so used to prison life that he couldn't adjust in outside world and committed suicide.

Hope someday some one makes a "Shwasank " equivalent for these Indian POW . There has been many try by Indian movie maker's but none has been as well researched and made like the original.
