INNOCENCE - The essence of humanity(?!)

An Inconvenient Truth - Al Gore

A must watch. It's not a tale, or a myth, or a movie. It's an inconvenient truth that we perhaps ignore, or worse, try running away from.

Sparsh

Mujhe bhi andhaa ban na hai

Sparsh (the touch)
A beautiful story of love, ego, consuming insecurities, misunderstood intentions, relationships... its the story of an institution for the blind and the lives glued to it.
Sparsh, one simple caring touch, can so beautifully change one's life and the whole perception of it, enlightening the world around, simply by adding warmth and care to the relationships.

Kavita (recently widowed) and Anirudh (principal of the special school) both dwell in their own world of darkness, one by closing herself to the world and drowning herself in the misery of her lost one, and another, who though very self-reliant and independent, by being consumed in self pity. Anirudh is very much drawn to Kavita, but his ego and his doubts don't let him see the love (which he mistakes to be pity) she develops for him as time moves on. It takes both of them a while to discover each other (and themselves) finally helping themselves step out of darkness and restarting their lives in a new light.

Little stories (touching upon "friendship") that revolve around this main line also have a major say in the story. In the middle of the movie, the relationship between two kids (friends actually, one of whom is "normal") slowly gets strained because of the advantages (extra care and love) that come with impairment. This is when the "normal" little kid says "main bhi andhaa ban na chahta hoon", when he feels that his is friend getting more attention and is being taken care of more, by Kavita aunty/ma'am (who he adores) and him being neglected. The word "normal" really loses its meaning. Even though this little guy has sight, he is ready to let go of that to be a part of that school, to be treated as one of those kids, to be loved and given attention to, by Kavita aunty. He just doesnt want to be an "outsider". Kavita also faces such situations where she is given an impression (by Anirudh) of being an "outsider" who couldnt understand the problems "they" undergo. Friendship again intrudes. Its this friendship between Kavita and her friend Manju, that ultimately helps Anirudh to forget that she is an "outsider", realise that he is loved for what he is, and to get back to his love.

A beauiful movie, must watch.

Confidence

Daffy notices a sign on a tree that reads "DUCK SEASON OPEN"
Daffy: "Devilishly clever..." (notices Elmer approching) "Uh,oh!" (runs off screen)
Elmer continues walking until he runs into Daffy (who is disguised as a rabbit).
Daffy: "What's up Doc? Having any luck on those ducks? It's duck season, you know!
Bugs then approches disguised as a duck.
Bugs: "Just a darn minute! Where do you get that "Duck Season" stuff?"
With a look of confidence, Daffy points offscreen.
Daffy: "Says so right over there on that sign, you're so smart."
The sign now reads "RABBIT SEASON OPEN".
Daffy: (still with a look of confidence) "You know what to do with that gun doc..."

Godavari

Oh! Its a beautiful river. I still remember when we used to go to Tuni on Swarnajayanti/Rajdhani Express (don't really remember), the train used to go via Rajahmundy crossing the magnificent river. Huge river, which never ceased to awe me, and still catches my attention if someone talks about it. I remember, how my mom used to point towards the river and we used to gaze at for so long, till it used to be in our range of vision. My mom used to tell stories of her childhood, how she, along with her friends used to jump off a bridge while coming back home from school (she spent her childhood in MP) and how this particular river reminded her of her childhood days, reminded her, of that bridge. When asked if she never got injured jumping from such a huge height, she used to explain that the sand used to be very soft that it never hurt her and also, the height wasn't that great. She is always so full of beautiful stories! Sometimes I wonder, how different my mom's life had been at my age, and how different it still is. She's such a wonderful lady, so full of life, she awes me so so much (though I would never accept it in front of her, and would never even show her how much she inspires me. Its a different thing that our ideas don't match and we end up arguing most of the time). This bridge story of hers always makes me imagine her really doing that, and I guess, it's sort of funny imagining that situation, nevertheless , it really must have been a great experience for her. And oh, Godavari. Such a beautiful river.

I've never been a romantic person, but I still liked this movie: "Godavari".
Perhaps because, the river has been very beautifully captured, or maybe cuz I miss travelling in a train, or maybe cuz I liked the way the protagonists developed a liking for each other as they journeyed through the river, exploring each other's interests, getting into long talks and discovering themselves in each other's company. Or maybe because it was nothing of a "love at first sight" sort of thing. The strange thing is that, I had watched this movie about an year back, with Hemalathaa, and sadly, that time, I felt nothing. And this time, yesterday, when i watched it for hardly 45 mins, I liked it. I liked both the characters, the ferry, their contrasting nature, everything! Oh yeah, not only the central characters, everyone in the movie had an awesome role to play.

Nice movie. People into Romantic genre will like it.
