Chillar Party

So I saw this movie called Chillar Party and I have so many things to say and many more things to ask.

First things first, I love this kid called Janghiya in this movie because of his carefree attitude. You gotta see him to believe me. Anyway, coming back to the point, the movie in its own fashion revolves around many issues. I’m not a writer or anything but I just like compiling a few thoughts down in this blog which I choose not to discuss with my brother or my best friend considering the seriousness of the topics as I don’t prefer to be someone embedded in grave thoughts and discussions. And also this entry is no film review.

‘Chillar’ as in change, something small and futile. Contrary to the meaning, the group of children in this film is not useless. Saving a stray dog from being captured due to a municipal law might seem to be a small issue but actually it’s much more. It’s not just about how our future lies with the children but also about how a bunch of kids can take on a mindless politician who formulates a baseless law to come into the limelight for votes!

We’ve heard a lot of clichés like “It is easy to hate but love is more powerful; courage lies in overcoming your fears; we must fight for what is right etc, etc.” Seems more like I lifted them off a Class 2^nd Value Education book, but are these actually wrong? Something so basic which is taught to us at such an early stage in our lives is forgotten so easily. Education is obviously not necessary if we are to give up on all the values that we learnt during the journey. We live in a world where enmity, agony, backstabbing, lies, bitching are more than common words. Did we actually plan to create a world full of hatred?

These matters aren’t even close to what I noticed in the movie. What caught my attention was the selfless concern of the children when the underprivileged Phatka catches fever due to the rain and how they decide to help so that he doesn’t lose his only way of earning a living; how the kids march in the city of Mumbai only in their underpants to stand up against the stupid minister trying to gain popularity among the masses; the tears in their eyes when Phatka loses his car-washing job; the last goodbye kisses before confronting the minister; the dog’s eyes when he sees the hunters waiting to capture him; the drops of sweat on the children’s faces as they feel they might have lost their friend forever; and the glow on Phatka’s face when he kneels down to hug his dog. Priceless!!

A movie meant for children but not ‘just’ for them. We all thrive to be loved and that’s a basic language every living being understands. It’s the purity in love that makes it so special. It is not selfish or jealous. Ever tried looking into the eyes of an animal? Even if it’s a ferocious tiger, they have the same innocence as those of a baby! The cruelty of the world hasn’t tarnished the beauty which reflects in those big eyes which can never be seen in an adult human being! Ever wondered why?

We have no right to torture or hurt anyone for our amusement just because we are a superior species.

Stand up for what’s right!
Aiveyi hi changes nahi aye is duniya mein..
But then are we courageous enough?
And if you think you can, then

“HALLA BOL!!”

After the introductory post it would be more than normal and even auspicious to write on a topic I feel very strongly about.
"Does God exist?"

Its a topic everyone discusses about.. Very usual and cliche but we all have separate notions about it.. It always leads us to something which can't be explained or defined.. And yet we fight in the name of religion.. I don't believe that we can divide Him in various religions.. I'm not atheist but I don't believe in idol worship though places of worship intrigue me, no idea why..
I'd rather call myself an "alltheist" coz I believe in everything. I think there is something which is beyond explanation which resides everywhere and not in temples. Mandir bhagwan ka ghar nahi hai. It's just an excuse for people to reconnect to themselves in peace which can be done anywhere if you're actually willing to..
So if He is with us all the time then why do we build structures and images? Why not just feel the energy present within us? Everyone has had unusual experiences which cannot be counted as coincidences.. So what is it out there watching over us? Some kind of an energy, something creepy, or some figure carved out in marble?

"What if God was one of us?
Just a slob like one of us,
Just a stranger on the bus,
Trying to make his way home.."

So what I want to ask is, "What would you ask if you had just one question?"
Let me know.. :)

Everything has a beginning..

It has to have a beginning, and here it is.
There have been so many times when I would think of writing a blog but I never really felt the need or gained enough encouragement from within to write one. But it had to start and what better than 11.11.11 though I really don't believe in the astronomy behind dates.. I do believe in sunsigns but that's out of experience.. Anyway random thought.. Too many random thoughts which is why I needed an "account".. Getting back to the so called auspicious date.. Well nothing really significant happening today infact everything is so insignificant.. like learning the difference between deviate and amend.. I mean we weren't even in an English class and who learns such words in B.Tech 3rd year!! What was school meant for?
Yes, I'm an engineer in making which has continued to surprize me even after completing 3 years of my curriculum. Which is why I will have lots and lots of anecdotes to blog, just hoping that people won't take them to their hearts because this is a section that belongs to me and I don't want any hate mails or snide remarks regarding what I feel.. So if you don't like the stuff here, I would recommend you to quit following it.
I just wish that I'm regular enough to drop by and give an account of the happenings and yes there is loads to write..the past, present and future. Just so you know this blog would contain matters relating to anything and everything..It would reflect my unbiased, extrovert and open minded nature, so all you Saharanpur and JUIT people who can't handle it please feel free to click on that little cross on right corner of this tab.


This marks a beginning..


P.S: Rockstar releases today. Do let me know how it turns out to be. :)

Take your mother ****ing shirt off!!"
