Song Synopsis of Kuch Toh Log Kahenge(Amar Prem)

  "Kuch toh log kahenge Logon ka kaam hain kehnaa Choro bekaar ki baaton mein Kaheen beet na jaaye  rainaa... " (From the iconic cult movie-Amar Prem(1972)  Music-RD Burman Lyrics-Anand Bakshi Singer-Kishore Kumar)  What a soulful masterpiece! Originally written by Anand Bakshi the lyrics and the overall synopsis of this song has it's relevance even today.  As we all know society has always been full of judgemental critics. This song symbolises how Society often mimicks and criticises and in fact to be honest still continues to question whatever we do no matter good or bad, and how they assume things without even knowing the reality of that particular circumstance or scenario.  This famous song sung by Kishore Kumar is loved by millions as it has an universality that is accepted widely by the mass. It carries the spirit of truth and ignorance. Remember the times we often say Ignorance is a bliss?  Well, it is right in many cases. Appropriately, in this...

Is Lady Macbeth the fourth witch?

 The witches have a supernatural effect on us, "giving the impression of mighty and inscrutable forces behind human life." - Harold Goddard.       One of Shakespeare's most controversial, diabolical, influential, ambitiously manipulative and frightening female character, Lady Macbeth acts as a catalyst by giving birth to the “ murderer” Macbeth and by entirely breaking the stereotype of women being kind and softhearted. She serves as the main influence in Macbeth's life. He trusts her with everything he has. She is, after all, his "dearest partner of greatness." (I, v, 13)      Macbeth was written at a time (1600s) when a large majority of people were interested in witchcraft. Hence,witchcraft play an essential role in the theme of the play. In, act one scene five, Lady Macbeth first appears on stage, reading a letter which shows she is well educated enough to know the difference between right and wrong. This is highly unusual because ...

A Paradigm of Futuristic Living

"A futuristic way towards a better living" Well, who wouldn't want that?  Are we futuristicallly dreaming towards an advanced better world ?  Or is this all a facade of augmented reality ? A reality only to make us blurred humans...  Thinking about the future secures us somehow as we feel ambitiously humane . But at the same time it makes us want more of it.  How we yearn for sitting on a time machine and going far beyond!  But with gradual steps it's ultimately time, destiny,God and our willpower that takes us into the future  And we do accept this realm of factuality As we humans through our good deeds and noble work  set examples for the future...  We imprint our truth in the depth of time  And the light of future calls us... The future where we get everything with the blink of an eye...  The oxymoronic future that engages us with laziness as well as enthusiasm. 

Sense of Belongingness

    Sense of Belongingness within ourselves is quite natural in this elixir of life; as we tend to cling on to our chosen one's.  That ray of hope drives us to move ahead in life. The very fact that we all are ultimately 'self 'as we come alone and depart alone makes us harder to think as we are living in this temporal illusory world that projects our very situational phases .  It's like a humane maze...Interdependence within dependence .  Paradoxically speaking, we tend to be independent whereas in actuality we can never be fully independent in this world as God's creation was humans ,not robots.  We have to cling on . We have to belong to someone in order to be independent. In this somewhat daily chaotic course of events of our life we are somehow dependent on others for some or the other reason.  We 'belonged' in the past, we 'belong' in the present and will leave a trace of 'belongingness' in the future.  However, it's true that our ...

World Stands Still

                   O Sweet Static Current World!  Our humdrum for millions of years is rather chaotic for you Mother Earth and we are losing the balance of this world wherein Peace is lost! Too much of technological advancements is creating a discord in this synchronized balanced Nature.  We, the proud Gen Y citizens feel it's our privilege to conquer the world with smart mechanical establishments and Artificial Intelligence. But intelligently speaking, we are unaware of the fact that Nature's Bounty can never be conquered. Rather it can be healed and restored with our united efforts. Re-vitalising the ecosystem is what it takes. It starts with one persons' joint effort to change mankind's misuse of Nature, it's 5 elements, manpower and intellect ; and yes ofcourse with good logical explanations so that mankind is jointly moved and the whole crisis of this modern world is fathomable.  The world now in this dead...

Afterlife

Like a coffin I lay  Drenched in sorrow Of the horrid days  And the nerves slowed down with time Pitiful celebrations of life and moments O miserable modern man !  Look up the sky is calling!!  Look down your sins lay buried on the hellish ground; And yet in these earthly rounds...  Wander off wherever your heart pounds ,  Wait and watch till your love turns into foolishness  Tis funny how often we fight for rights  Girls in their tights and men with great heights And oh goodness! how strong your fight is ,  Tis only the weak hearts that magnetically attracts  Weak wins over the strength cup Till you finally understand what life is !  Bits and pieces of love once lost ; Now regained with utmost care .  Where heaven and earth resides And hell quite often to complete the most Never ending cycle of good, bad and the ugly Fills life appropriately with opposing sides of mankind.  By the time chaos ends ; We lay on o...

Humane Expectations

It is famously said by someone whom I know very well that - "Don't expect anything from life as it's full of uncanny stories toggling up and down with disheartening consequences that will only make u all the more morose " Well let me put this straight onto you. Through hope, belief, trust, faith we tend to grow the seeds of our expectations and so we must sow what we reap as ; "practice what you preach" is somewhere correct for all the practical folks out there. If we have the aforementioned 'hope' within our mind and body, automatically we tend to expect. I believe expectations only come from the people you love the most. With the love and concern that you shower towards your loved ones you might as well expect the same in return as Newton's third law of motion goes by our very instincts. .  You may say sacrifice and forgiveness helps us to expect nothing in return. But we are humane my dear friend! Physically made of flesh and blood...
