The Mystery of Pride

Image
Human beings are amazing creatures on earth, because of the influential nature that humans posses, we tend to impact and bring change in nature. The change sometimes is positive or negative. Billions now are threatened from a deadly disease called COVID 19 caused by a virus named ‘Corona’ and still we could control the situation following various ways like social distancing, lockdown, wearing mask etc. We feel proud of ourselves for the scientific development the human has attained so far and soon hope science to produce a vaccine for this deadly disease. We are proud of this nature of humans and with pride , we hope for the best in the coming months. What is pride? According to the Oxford dictionary, “Pride a feeling of pleasure or satisfaction that you get when you or people who are connected with you have done something well or own something that other people admire”. Overall what pride gives us is a feeling of pleasure. Pride is also a belief that one is superior to ...

Shades of Being. Chapter 1

In a sloppy evening, while scrolling down a list of movies to beat the boredom, BINGO! I found a movie titled “Agora” , thought it could be some kind of horror genre. You know, I am the kind of person who has trust issues with everything, means IMDB guy. The IMDB reviewer’s summary of this movie not so appealing too. Anyhow, I decided to watch this, apparently hooked by its title!  The first thing I had to learn is how much we are pulled by even an unnoticed small thing. The ‘just’ title of the movie strikes the curiosity and make me watch or indulge. The psychological phenomena may play here which attracts us products having crazy advertisements. It is a double-edged sword, having both positive and negatives. By the way, the choice of watching “Agora” was a life-changing moment. Life-Changing! Yeah. Some things can be a crazy influencer out of unexpected context. Here the movie “Agora” was such an element of influence which subtly shaken my foundational euphoria. Thr...

My Suicidal Note

Hi to all, I refer myself as Prince lonely toad . My father used to call me Mr.Toad and my mother named me as Little prince frogger. We are a wanderer and I belong to a large family with 12 siblings. I am the youngest kiddo of all. My family often worries about my future because of my physical dissimilarities with other members.

Life of a pachyderm At a time before the dawn, it was dark and misty all over the place. The herd of elephants were seen with their calves moving at a steady pace. The elephants were migrating from one patch of the forest to another which they do quite often to escape hunger due to less availability of resources. Amongst the herd, a mother Elephant was seen more cautious with two of its own baby elephants and was more protective than others. There was a reason for such cautiousness.  Years back when this mother elephant was young and was moving in the same manner with its mother in search of food, it lost its brother in a train accident. Such incidents often occur when elephants migrate. Some die because of the train, some in road accidents struck by a truck and some purposefully killed by the poachers. So the elephant knew that life was full of challenges and intuitively protected the calves all along the way her herd marched.  Miles of the untiring march had shrunk the herd’...

Shades of being Chapter 2

Amelie (Movie: Amelie 2001) have her own world. The world of dreams spattered with million colours. I too have my own. The world of my own. My own being without borders. That’s where I travel on a breeze; feel as light as thousand coloured feathers. The intrigues of our being can get true with our dreams.  A day in a dream: A warm morning. I feel the sunshine smiles on my face through gaps of a large glass window and his legs on my thighs. The sunshine and his body are an eternity of warmness in combination. This feel like the whole universe is spinning for us, only for us. It makes us believe that the earth itself threads a pattern of togetherness, on a daily basis, without a nanosecond pause. That cuddle, ever wanted one, on the bed. My eyes open the day with his subtle smile, that smile is more than a morning wishes, it sometimes tells everything we felt for years in seconds. Following that smile, in an automated move, his lips, the most sophisticated part the ‘G...

Shades of being Chapter 3

The fault in our Stars (2014) film is memorable for many reasons. But in a scene when Augustus says that he fears about Oblivion, I felt myself in his place. As far as I can remember I am a dreamer of legacies. I always wanted to have an indelible print of my own being in this universe, eternally. When we grow, we accumulate the consciousness from winnings and losses and successes and failures. That consciousness will take us from the dreams into a situation of reality. The successes make us excited to achieve the legacies of own where generations are going to remember us, celebrate us. Then the fear of Oblivion comes from every failure we face in our ambitious path. I have my fair share of both sides of the spectrum. I had to choose a path which will, in turn, give me an eternal place in this overcrowded multi-complex world. The choices were business, community service or even becoming a celebrity of a kind. I have tried all of them. When you are in a full of energy witho...

Lights, Camera, Action !

Food, clothing and shelter are basic needs of a human to survive on earth. When these three important human needs are once satisfied we are fulfilled for an extent and urge for something that will make our lives enthusiastic. There are different things that make our life enthusiastic, some of them are sports, music, dance, songs, movies, painting etc. We have made entertainment as a part and parcel of our daily lives. It is true that with entertainment in regular interval, helps us to boost activities in our daily life and resists boredom in regular life. The entertainment is not common for all, people select their mode of entertainment based on their interests and even based on money in hand. One such entertainment that is most common for all of us is watching movies. This entertainment is common for all, it does not differentiate based on age group, gender, religion, caste, creed or how rich and a poor one is. Movies are made for different categories of people all around the year b...

Shades of being chapter 4 on Love

Image
Recommended by a science fiction voyager, I had the chance to watch the movie titled “Coherence” (2013). A low budget highly intelligent content and execution which deserves a couple of hours of our time. To be frank, I could not get grip on the science angle the movie uses to execute its story. But the human emotions it touches make us think another dimension of love. The movie indirectly questions the concept of love: “whether we love the object as we perceive or the person as s(he) is? We, humans but curious, generally are fond of the matters which make us comfortable and ‘isms’ behind the heavenly imaginations. Apart from those curiosities, the need of emotions coming out of ‘wanting to be accepted’ or ‘wanting to be right’ lead us to seek the “Love”. To me, love became an archived boring institution strengthened by a relentless number of stories from books, movies and our pessimistic views about humans. The concepts of eternal love or divine love are clandestinely used to create e...

Shades of being - Chapter 5

M. Night Shyamalan’s movie ‘Split’ (2016) is a unique and ambitious effort to bring the 24th character, the ultimate one, into our imaginations. While the movie could be appreciated for a number of reasons, what impressed me is the concept that unravelled on the limit of human abilities. There are other movies like “Lucy” (2014) or Limitless (2011) are tried something about the boundaries of the human brain. But what makes ‘Split’ unique is its psychological angle rather than relying upon some crowd-pleasing causes and effects.  I was excited after I watched the movie the first time, went on crazy mode. I could remember that day when I was over frenzied about the movie while I was narrating the story to my friends on the dinner table in our hostel mess. Still, I am not sure what made me crazy about this.  We like superheroes, don’t we? Because they do something that we cannot do. In that way, we satisfy our urge to be an ultra-right person. Because we all don’t have a perfect ...

Manual scavenging – the worst surviving symbol of untouchability

“No modern country in the world forces human being to enter sewers to clean. Why then does India use manual scavenging? It is because we have caste which has for ages been forced to do it for minimal pay”                                                                                                                                                                               --  Dilip Mondal (poet and activist) We regard many professions with high dignity.
