Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi have inspired me to understand love

Mother Teresa and Mahatma Gandhi have inspired me to understand love. Love is all about giving and not receiving. It is not a give and take emotion. Mother Teresa gave her entire life for people whom she did not know, giving them help, giving them shelter and showering love on them without any greed. Mahatma Gandhi not only fought for himself but fought for entire nation and in such a way which is unmatchable.  They gave everything for others. One can criticize Gandhi for some of his action which does not reflects his love for other, but you can’t expect a person to remain same forever.  They made me understand that Ego does not play a part in Love. If there is ego in your mind then Love cannot grow. Love is about humbleness. It also reflects what told in Gita by Krishna, ‘Karam kar phal ki assha mat kar’. Give kindness to people, care for them, and do not care for the result. It will come back to you in one way or another.

I see the world around me and I get irritated by watching them lead their life with jealousy, greed, anger. When people talk, they only end up mocking at someone. For e.g. Two women were gossiping. First one said “ do you know Mr. Mehta son got 98% in board exam? But he always used to play around, how did he got such marks?” They question his ability and actually there are not happy. I have noticed people do not get happy with other people success. Competition between people is killing the Love.

I have learned that Love happens when you are not selfish. Its an selfless act. Having said this, still I have not completely comes in terms with it. I, myself does not always lead my life without ego. But yes I am learning and I have realised that letting off your Ego even slightly, does make your life a bit more beautiful. But, I also think Ego is essential in life. It helps in gaining self respect. I am in a bit of dilemma, which path to choose, A life filled with Love and no Ego or a life striking a balance between Love and Ego.

Cinema …its effect

Today, cinema has become a top entertainer. What is so special about cinema…?? It gives that sound and view to your life.

In reality we hear sound but the background sound which runs in the cinema is only an effect which is almost nil in real life. There is lot more silence in life. Music and sound are always there in life but not to an extent we hear in movies.

Camera gives us the view which surely, few people can see in reality. We have seen so many things….The Eiffel Tower, Victoria falls, The Pyramids, and so on ..the list is endless. Thanks to cinema. Yesterday I was watching Don by farhan akhtar and there was a shot when Arjun rampal and a kid were walking on the connector between the PETRONAS Tower.  How many people in their life would able to see an aerial view of the tower…?? It makes us see which we only dream or it makes us dream to see the things.

One thing that is true is that cinema is false. There is no physical pain in cinema. No one dies. If you cut someone arms, he will bleed and have an agonising pain…but not in cinema. Actor dies in a death scene but after CUT he is alive. He is an actor….he may get the feeling of the death…but not the reality of death.

This power of sound and more importantly view is something gifted to our generation. People living two centuries ago were bereft of this experience.  They could have generated the sound but the view was not there. Cinema also last longer. Earlier people got entertainment by stage plays. But it could not be recorded. A performance was for that moment only. It could not be repeated. The replay option was not there. I guess the amount of people who have watched Sholay now is much more than the time it was released.

The one thing which is totally imaginary is the animated movies. It has no relation with life except the most vital thing which cinema gives us ….the feeling. Our mind and brain works with movies to get that feel. It’s the feeling which has always lasted. The view, sound , animation all creates that effect which make people cry, laugh, smile, shout, and sometimes sleep also. Cinema is a revolution to the world of entertainment.

The Power is Mine……..

I have come to a point that i really don’t understand what i like and what i don’t. Everything around me changes the way i want it to change. It just how i look about it. I learn to be positive and i realized that my remaining positive i actually never get sad. Now whats the truth, i don’t know. Whether whats happening around is correct or wrong , it is a good moment or a bad moment, is it time to act or is it time to realize. I cannot seems to understand the decision is good one or a bad one. Because whatever one decides, it has its own plus points and negative point. Right now , whatever i decide i see the plus point and remain happy. But is it not that i am faking it? I should not say faking it, but actually i don’t know the reality. For me its a choice and i always take the positive choice and i live with it.

But, to be positive, an effort is required. Its not natural to me. I don’t know its only me or for everyone . I guess nothing is natural, except for very few moments of your life. And for the rest small numerous moment of life, I can manipulate things for my happiness or for that matter sadness also at any moment of time. Yes, sadness is also a very good time pass. For me, i am standing on the threshold between two worlds, and i jump around, considerable amount of time spent in the better world and sometimes on the other side for a change. The point is the power is in my hand to switch.
