First one was Mani Ratnam's classic - Bombay ...
This is a movie that every Indian must see. .Wonderful camerawork coupled by a touching storyline..The roots of communal divide existing in India...I really wonder if people are really this much sensitive to this kind of propaganda...Just by hearing somebody did something somewhere,they take arms and massacre their friends in the name of community. If education has not been able to remove this kind of a mindset, the it is utterly useless...Unless India improves in this sector, these kinds of incidents are bound to happen at one point or other... Part of the blame goes to the beurocratic setup/constitution ..When you take a child for admission in a school , religion is one of the mandatory fields...The divide starts there... Although I'm a Hindu, if ever there is an option to put your caste/religion as 'Independent' ,i would love to go with that... Religion is an individual's personal freedom...It should not play a part in the governance we receive..
The second movie was an Anil Kapoor flick 'Nayak' - A Hindi remake of 'Mudalvan' ..Although this movie is an idealists dream rooting out the corruption in the society coupled with the usual gravity/logic defying action scenes, one part caught my attention...It is a kind of message to the people , especially the youth of the nation....It describes the way our life progresses... What we aspire to do/we end up doing in our life? ---
" Get a job with a huge salary, Marry a beautiful girl,have children, buy some land in some prime locality,build a house of your choice,and complain to all that the system/politics in this country is crap" ....
I dont believe that trying to achieve these things is a sin..Even these are things that every parent wants his/her child to achieve..And I'm no exception..I too want to get these so called 'materialistic' wealth....But ultimately when you look back at your life, if you have managed to contribute something significant to the nation/society , i would say you r successful in your life...Now it boils down to what these contributions are...Nobody has an answer...It is here that the so called 'destiny' plays a part...Most of us,at some point in our life will come across some opportunity to do something good to the nation/society..It is upto us to catch those opportunities and do something meaningful...
Well, a little bit philosophical... But I can't help...
