The analogy... Movie and Life...

Let me reiterate the famous dialogue from movie "Anand"...

"Babu mahashyaa... jindagi aur maut upar wale ki haat hai.. jahan pana... use na aap badal sakte hain na main.. Ham sab to rang manch ke kath putliyan hai... jinki dor upar wale ki ungli main bandhi hai.. kab kaun kaise uthega ye koi nahin bata sakta hai... ha ha ha.."

Wondering why I'm talking about this old dialogue?? Because this dialogue is not just a dialogue of a movie.. it is the very basic principle of our life...
I strongly believe in the context of this dialogue.. that everything is controlled by the master.. We are just the actors... we have nothing much to do but just act as per our director's (God's) direction.. so, our job is to give a nice and solid performance in the movie (this life)... that's it...

Let me elaborate my point..

The script has been written for the movie (our life)... who has written it?? Of course, God.. So, God is the script writer, producer and director of our movie..
We play different roles in the movie...
In the movie, you play the lead character role... and other different characters have been defined like father, mother, sister, wife, friends etc..These characters have been defined to support your character... So, the characters have been defined and the plot is there.. its upto you how you play the role of the character...
Give your heart out performance to justify the character and make the movie hit.. Don't think much about other character's script.. They will justify their roles... Just concentrate on your script..

Let us come to the end of the movie..

So, the movie has come to an end.. now depending upon how you have performed your role, the movie will be a hit or it will be a flop... (Don't question the script for the success or failure... obviously the script is very very strong...)
Suppose the movie is a hit... so, what will happen?? Obviously, our actors will get better roles in their forthcoming movies...(next life).. However, if the movie has become a flop then our actors will struggle to get good roles in their next movies..(next life).. they will get roles but not the lead roles...
So, the life equation is very simple.. Is not it??
The actor who has performed the role of your brother in this movie (this life) may act as your father in the next movie.. and the guy who is doing the lead role in this movie, may get the role of a servant in the next movie if his performance is not good...
Once the movie making is over, all the actors are individuals only.. they are not brother.. not father.. ... not wife... again they will look for another movie... but depending upon their acting in the previous movie, the director will give a role in the next movie..

So, let us understand that our life is nothing but a big movie... Just concentrate on your good acting... If you can justify the character that you are acting then definitely you are going to get the lead role in the next movie...

Thanks,

The whole of the analogy was quite elaborate and indeed a great piece of thought...Nicely put up...But to cut it short,it reminded me of Shakespeare's As You Like It where the melancholy Jaques(a character role)has left imprints on our hearts and minds through the magical words, since ages and many more to come.Shakespeare penned his idea about LIFE and in fact gave the whole world a thought...Luckily many took up the thought and even many didn't....But,anywayz its has,is and will be inspiring to led LIFE which is in fact is a complete mystery and very hard to be decoded...Jaques deploys the theatrical metaphor for his famous speech on the Seven Ages of Man.It goes as :-"All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players;They have their exits and their entrances,And one man in his time plays many parts,His acts being seven ages."These words are just magical and are highly profound.

Anywayz,to keep the cool,Do Your Best And Leave The Rest.

Njoy LIFE as it comes to you...

UHAULing.... in US...

In this blog let me share my experience of shifting home in America... You have to do the following activities for shifting your home... 1) Buy the card board boxes and pack your stuffs on your own... 2) Rent a truck to shift your stuff from one place to other and you have to drive that truck on your own. That truck is provided by a company called UHAUL. 3) Place all your stuffs inside the truck on your own. So, you have to carry your sofa, bed etc on your own. Therefore, you have to be a body builder to do all these activities. Remember, here there is no human labour to help you out. If you are hiring human labour then be ready to pay a hefty amount. 4) OK... All the stuffs are now packed and placed inside the truck. Now drive the truck on your own. 5) Reach the destination. 6) Unload all the stuffs.... Again on your own... 7) Return the truck to UHAUL (company) and pay the rental... 8) Your shifting is done... Cool..... That's how you have to live in USA. So, life is very easy he

Chase your passion...

Do you have some passion that you always wanted to do since your childhood??? Yes, I know we all have.. but we don't dare to chase it.. Because in India, we think only doctors and engineers are well respected in the society.. Hence, at any cost we have to become either a doctor or an engineer... Therefore, if you want to become a sports person or a singer or a dancer or a writer etc.. it's not allowed.. So, you sacrifice your area of interest and succumb to the pressure from society and put all your effort to become what your society want you to become.. Ok.. Now you have lived all most half of your life.. and somewhat successful (in career) by seeing your current stature..Your half of the life has gone by... in fulfilling other's wishes and their dreams.. Suddenly you realize that you have never lived for yourself.. I think this is the best time to invest on yourself... to chase your own passion.. to do something that you always wanted to do... I know we all are living a r

A way to give back...

Giving back to the society??? This sentence sounds a bit odd.. Yes, because we always believe in taking from the society... and we have taken it for granted that we'll always take from the society... Since our arrival to this beautiful world, we have taken almost everything from the society... It may be good education, good job or a safe and healthy society... and we assume that building a good society is the responsibility of Govt... Yes, you are right.. however, our country is a developing country.. not a developed country... Govt is doing its work at its pace... and since our country is one of the most populous country in the world, a lot of unprivileged people are there in the society.. unfortunately they are deprived from everything... they also don't get their basic school education... That's why the role of privileged people become very vital... Under current scenario, all the privileged people should raise their hand to support the unprivileged people.. We may argue
