Why few Hindi Movies are Impractical?

Rahul & Sonam are back after watching the movie "Barfi" and Rahul had an opinion!!

Rahul: Its a good movie from conceptual point, extremely well acted, enacted but absolutely impractical from a real life stand point...
A sane lady can have soft corner for a dumb & deaf guy is understandable, she may also help him at various   point in life, But "love" for what reason? - Just coz he is a good clown?

Sonam:  Rahul in first place you are being a little insensitive to people with disabilities that's not right!

Rahul : Ok sorry about that, I didn't mean to be insensitive but then..In the end she says She could have been in place of Jhilmil as his wife but since Jhilmil loved her without being judgmental about him and not thinking of consequences so they lived Happily ever after...
That's too good too be true, a typical movie's perfect story lines and superlatively perfect situations..
The probability that one falls into right situations without analyzing the situation? 10% ? 20% ? 50% ? and chances of 100% ?
The probability of a person who kidnaps being good, then probability of him taking care of her perfectly well after he elopes to a distant place in Kolkata, the probability that he wont take any undue advantage of her in anyway?

Sonam : Love is abstract without much reasoning at times...
Rahul : Ok! Agree with you but such perfect situations are true like you said "at times" or at-least not most of the times, its not that easy - A common man juggles and struggles just for basics and essentials..
And the movies shows its a easy life with Only "Love"..
"Love" like "Money" is important but then its not one and only thing that would be self-sufficient in itself!

Sonam : Makes sense but then its just a movie..
Rahul : Ya it is "Just" a Movie, but don't these movies influence our mind? Thereby painting an irrational, impractical picture about "Love and Life", Given that handling of such situations are not taught in school Movies happen to be potential power..

Sonal : Hahaha ! And seems like you are jealous of its power!! :-P
Rahul : Lol! I am too small to be jealous, but then to make a point, When the movies went through an era of Love based eloping they were statistically on rise and so on when parental consent were treated as important in movies and serials "that" was on rise and so on for suicides etc etc...

Sonam: But movies will always have freedom of expression, anything concept marketable, sell-able & legal is enough!
Rahul: Hmmmm and our opinions about them - increase their Marketability :-)

Fanatism and its self justified application!

“Buggers open the doors!!!”

“Chikuuuuuuuuuu”  Saleem and Ronald shouted as Chetan had barely entered in and  were waiting since morning as they were looking fwd to meet their college mate who had returned back to India after his masters.

“Aaaahhh ” They almost pounced on him, kicked & punched him with all the collegian bad words they had left in their vocabulary after entering professional life…

Gasping for breath Chetan shouted “Buggers gimme water, idiots don’t even ask for water rather they treat with kicks…huh!!”

Thuddddd…. Ronald threw the bottle.. Chiku could have been almost hit in the head...but for his good catch.

Eventually they forgot everything as they were recollecting college memories and later encounters with a term called “Life!”

They heard something, some humming, till they oriented their ears in that direction. “Some one’s singing national anthem” said Chetan.

“Stand up guys” replied Ronald.

“Lo behold ur patriotism” said Chetan who always tried to taunt him at his fanaticism towards his religion. As the National anthem came to pause, trying to sit again he murmured,

“How come people now-a-days have so much patriotism left when all other supposed to be equnanimous values are dying in name of religion, caste & linguistic fanaticism?”

“It’s because its taught in the school perhaps, but why the hell do u bother?” replied Saleem as he continued “2 years in US haven’t changed you much” who had been close witness to two deeply religious, spiritual friends with one big difference viz. one is extremely secular (Chetan) and other one was perfect fanatic (Ronald).

“True! But if schools had so much impact they should be or already have been teaching lot other stuff too!”

“Like?”

“Controlling lot of negative emotions like its mentioned in Gita”

“Ronny where are u going” asked Saleem as he saw Ronniee getting up..

“Got a call to make.....”

Saleem gave a weird nod which clearly showed he knew that he moved as soon as there is a mention about Gita shloka

Three good friends who are very bonded to each other and seeming surprising difference thought Saleem just before his quickly added “You were saying something Chiku...”

Yeah the mention of practicing nonviolence, truthfulness, freedom from anger, tranquility, aversion to faultfinding, compassion and freedom from covetousness; gentleness, modesty and steady determination; vigor, forgiveness, fortitude, cleanliness, freedom from envy and the passion for honor”

Saleem and Chiku had discussed Quran and Gita numerous times and in their then shared apartment’s small worship Stand (call it home temple or mosque) and they always kept both together.

Saleem, Chiku and Ronny always visited temples, mosques and churches before exams with one exception Ronny would choose to stand out or leave for other places.

“These type of acute favoritism spring with lessons from home or spiritual places acquaintances, what say??” asked Chetan

“Hmmm, yes perhaps.. !” Saleem replied “But…

“What?”

“That’s exactly why you married to your caste girl, although Ronny had guts to have a Puneri Girl?” commented Saleem trying to pull his legs since he was one who although secular believed in marrying his own caste girl..

“Cmon I wasn’t committed to anyone..” replied Chetan

“You Fattuu..”

“Ohh cmon, with girls.. Naayyyy”

“No with ur parents.. Yaayyyy” replied Salmeem

“Hieee Guys!!!” came a loud female voice interrupting them

Seeing her first thing that came to both Chiku’s and Saud’s mind was her long linguistic fanatic discussion

Wherein she was kind of a person who had been almost fighting for a long time to go to Mecca of IT guys viz.US with her manager and had reservations with other place people migrating to her city

and they always thought

God save Ronny & Neeta and their respective fanatism!

“Hey Chikkuu. ... How are you doing man? !!”

“Not too bad yaar… how abt u???”

“Ohhh gooshh!! U.S. terms.. Not too bad. .  haan”

Chetan was kinda embarrassed but he know internally he wasn’t masquerading but out of habit formed over a period of time.

“So when are you getting there..”

“Ahhh… me naa!!! In 2-3 months may be..” replied Neeta

“And I am happy that’s this had been going on since a year.. hahaha” interrupted Ronnie.

“What re Ronniee.. kuchkat!!!” Her big round eyes now had turned little Red..

“Saheb.. aap ka Stop aa gaya!!”

Chetan was woked up by the bus conductor

“Ohhh daamm... Ji haannn!!”

Daam thing, my don’t generalize old memories still haunt me in my dreams
Friends are friends & are independent of their thinking!!

Friends are friends not matter what they think of everything else!

P.S. This is purely fictional and has no resemblance to any person, caste, religion and its doesn’t describe behavior patterns of any caste or creed rather people of both views (secular & fanatic) exist in all places who are staying together & In spite of being staying together good friends many a times have different beliefs

Actual Lessons to Understand!

From the time we are born through

The time, on our own that we start to stand

And till the eternity as it seems we have to understand

A feeble memory exists in the memory

When first was I asked, "Did you under stand?"

Sports I played hard and hurt many a times

Always it begun with a failure which I could hardly stand

Spell bound with game intricacies

That I tried hard to understand

Sportsmanship, Fair play & the patient endurance

Were the actual lessons I had to understand!

Books I read to score good and to top

Read & practiced till I knew it by heart

Thinking sometimes about the wisdom of history

Can it be sometimes be really of any use to me

And the geographical boundaries could I really travel

But then it struck that Education actually

Gives knowledge more than you need 

And

And that’s the actual lesson I had to understand

Being small I always wanted to grow up

But growing up destroyed many many small childhood joys

Being an audience I always wanted to anchor

Anchoring though gave me highs and pleasure

But calmness of being Audience was lost forever

With pleasure of something that was conquered

And that’s the actual lesson I had to understand

While Learning to drive I loved to gaze at pace

When the fear was conquered,

It was thrilling in its own ways

But all in all it was not that worth the risk

Neither the race nor the reckless breeze

And that’s the actual lesson I had to understand

In the frames of general usual passing life

In a spontaneous growing old we learn that we should grow wise

Joys & sorrows which shows friends & seasonal friends like wise

Learning to shrug the failure & the criticism was nice

And Nicer was separating stupid comments alike

An unending learning, continuously unfolding an interesting mystery

Thereby making a small regular each one of us’s Life

Challengingly beautiful in its own way & style

Rather than just a repeat of anyone else’s History & Lifestyle

And

And

And that’s the actual lesson I had to understand!

Maza hain kya!

घर बैठे बारिश की आवाज़ न सुन
बहार भीग के तो देख मज़ा हैं क्या !
किताबो के कवर को देख के क्या होगा
उन पन्नो को पड़के  तो देख मज़ा हैं क्या !

किनेरे बैठके पानी को देखने में क्या हैं
दुबकी लगा के तो देख मज़ा हैं क्या !
दोस्ती की बातें करने में क्या हैं
दोस्ती निभा के तो देख मज हैं क्या
जेहेन  में क्वाबो को छुपाने में क्या हैं
इन को हकीकत में बदल के तो देख मज़ा हैं क्या
ऐसे आलस करने से क्या मिलेगा
मेहनत करके तो देख मज़ा हैं क्या !

किसी की निंदा में वक़्त क्यों गुज़रे
आगे बड़  के तो देख मज़ा हैं क्या !
किसी की कमी निकालने में कोई बड़ी बात नहीं
पर कुछ बन  के तो देख मज़ा हैं क्या !

किसी को पीछे छोड़ने की बातें क्यों करते हैं लोग

साथ चलके तो देख मज़ा हैं क्या !

किसी को नीचे खीचते  क्यों हैं लोग

प्रोत्साहित करके तो देख मज़ा हैं क्या !

किसी के पीट पीछे बुराई क्यों करते हैं लोग

किसी को सुधार के तो देखे मज़ा हैं क्या

अपने सामने तो तारीफ तो सभी करते हैं

पित पीछे तारीफ करे ऐसा कुछ करके तो देखे

   मज़ा हैं क्या !

Ek Naayi Kaami!

Har Dost phele Ajnabhi hai

Har Baato me kuch Ankahi hai
Sab Kuch mil jaaye to maaza hi kya
Bus Socho kaise dhoonde usko

Jissseee milti
                    ....... ek Naayi kaami hai!!!

Zindagi jeena sikh liya hai maine

Tut te pal me hasna sikh liya
Gehre Gham me muskurana sikh liya
Ab zindagi shayad zyada muskhil nahi
Jab GHAM ke pyale ko hi pina sikh liya

Logo par bharosa kam karna sikh liya hai maine
Dosto se umeede kam rakhna sikh liya hai maine
Ab zindagi shayad zyada muskhil nahi
Jab Apne aap se jo Dosti ki hai
Usme hi khush rehna sikh liya hai maine

Ab kisiko na dundna sikh liya hai maine
Ab kisiko na chahna sikh liya hai maine
Ab zindagi shayad zyada muskhil nahi jab
kisi ki yaado me na rona
bikul bhi na rona sikha liya hai hai maine

Sikhte Sikhte ache logo ko pehchan na sikha hai maine
Sikhte Sikhte muskil me majje karna bhi sikh liya hai maine
Ab zindagi shayad zyada muskhil nahi

Kyunki ki
Shayad Zindagi jeena sikh liya hai maine
