Nishabd (the latest Amitabh movie) did focus on some of the unspoken desires and feelings of a human when he is in his last stage of life. The idea of a 6o yr old man falling in love with an 18 yr old girl would obviously raise many eyebrows but then it is important to understand the logic behind it. As Amitabh expresses his point of view in the movie, he is attracted not only physically to the girl but he re-discovers his reason for living through her. She arouses the child within him and ignites the spirit to live for his passion. And this is very true. All of us become so engrossed in our routine life of earning, and household chores that we completely forget to give ourselves some time. As is shown in the movie, Revathi (Amitabh's wife) gives up her dancing for her family and starts living just for her family. She spends almost all her time in either her kitchen or in getting the work done from her deaf servant. The monotony of life is clearly portrayed through her. On the oth...

Patience always shows results. If you desperately try to achieve something without realizing that this may not be the right time to put in the efforts, then it would be a waste of time and efforts in addition to the by product of de-motivation. When you try hard to hold on to something or someone, the more is the probability of you losing it/him/her. As the more you want to hold sand, the more quickly it drifts away. Sometimes you have to let it go. It is better to try as far as possible and then wait patiently for the results without getting frustrated. No doubt it is difficult, but then life cannot be expected to be that easy!!

Ever thought about your name? I wonder at times as to how important is my name for me. To what extent do I identify myself with it? Can I relate to it? We grow old all through our life along with our respective names and during all these years, we start loving it. I ponder over the feeling of exclusivity that i get when some stranger calls my name. I have always loved it when my teachers used to address me by my name. I cherish the moment when I see my name on the list of selected candidates/winners for any competition/contest. I take pride in staring at my signatures. How bad we feel if someone could not pronounce our names correctly. Some people are really sensitive about it, especially when they inherit the names of their respective grandparents/parents. Ever imagined about another name that may suit you better? I have tried doing it but have always failed to find a new name for myself. Same is the case with sir-name. The concept of nickname is also quite interesting. It came into e...

Sometimes I feel I am good for nothing. I can’t help my friends the way and the extent to which they want me to. I am not able to meet the expectations of my parents. I don’t know how to behave with people. I don’t know the right things which should be said/done on right occasions. I am not good at anything. I am not even doing justice to myself. I am not disciplined enough to pursue my hobbies. People don’t respect me for what I am and want me to be someone else. Why should I pretend to be someone else when I am not…? Why don’t people let me be what I am. Why should I adapt myself all the time to others’ wish? Can’t I live in peace without worrying about what other people might think? Am I being true to anyone? Or for that matter even to my own soul? I pretend to abide by my ethics but I don’t even have the guts to stick to what I believe in. Why am I so weak? Why don’t I behave in a manner that commands respect? Why do I get influenced so much by what others have to say/think about m...
