GANDHIji

I had my first opportunity to watch the movie GANDHI few days back. The movie was a starkling example of how a movie should be moulded to touch the hearts. It touched mine for sure. Rather than just going back to history books n depicting on the silver curtain what happened and all, Richard Attenborough has been succesful in portraying a GANDHI. The man who had all the courage and will power in him to motivate India to first think, then ask and then achieve freedom(!He dint have internet n aaj tak i know), his dignity n simplicity, his power of confidence -- I could see in the eyes of the man portraying Gandhiji.This is excellent movie-making.Its given me an impetus to rethink freedom once again. Some lines from there. . .
" Congress milti hai har saal, har jagah. azaadi ke liye. main kehta hun azaadi tab tak nahin milegi jab tak hum hamare kisano tak nahin pahunchenge. jab tak hum unke jaise nahin jiyenge. jab tak hum unki tarah kapda nahin pehnenge, kyunki awam hamari kissan hi jyada hai. "( "The congress meets every year for freedom. but we wont get freedom by suchthings. we have to go further. we wont get freedom until n unless we go n live with the peasants, wear what they wear,eat what they eat,until we tell them the meaning of freedom.")

For me freedom is thinking and doing the right thing. And whatever you achieved is your success.If I persuade my Maa to think that morning walk n yoga is important for her health, then I am exercising freedom coz freedom is also convicting people into what you think.Thats what Gandhiji had done then. We can think about all types of freedom all through our lives, every moment of our lives. People thought the like then. We should also have such broader thoughts. Thoughts which reflect how you feel about your fellow countrymen, how sensitive you are to rather important things.

In the months after i had been to dada's place in mumbai, i have watched a hell lot of good movies.Some movies are master pieces which everyone should feel facilitated or fortunate enough to get an opportunity to watch these.Here I list some of my favourites.
1. The Shawshank Redemption, for learning the importance of hope n belief in your life
2. A Beautiful Mind, to know that nothing can stop u if u have ur ORIGINAL IDEA
3. Bruce Almighty, to learn giving importance to smaller but important things in life
4. Gandhi, by R. Attenborough to find the rationale behind simplicity n non-violence
5. Sweet November, to know and feel love
and u should never forget to watch MADAGASCAR- its the funniest movie i have seen. If u want to know what is creativity and if u ever want to spread knowledge through some medium, go watch it.
