BARFI- a fable in modern world

It would be a wrong aphorism when I say that I didn’t watch the movie “BARFI”. Presently it is being considered as one of the biggest masterpieces in the Bollywood Box-office where the topic of neuropsychological disorders were dealt in a pretty humble manner. The movie had in itself everything -bit glamour, a lot of romance and a more than enough comedy. The movie goes on a very strong note and continues to even end on one. But the length of the movie certainly rubbishes the charm it built up in the starting to the movie.

The movie is dealt with all humble humane people living in a very secluded part of world Darjeeling and the characters are strongly portrayed with Ranbir Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra being magnificent, I’lena D’cruz is charming and Rupa ganguly is a leaf old in the movie. The movie revolves around pretty murder and kidnapping stuff, but the message the movie conveyed was really strong. It conveyed that

“There will many people who will hold your umbrellas during the rains, but always go for those who will get wet with you when you get”

The movie too showed a clear thing that wearing short clothes of skimpy outfit doesn’t make you beautiful or sexy; it just adds a layer to your own self. Afterall

“Beauty lies in the eyes of beholder”

And hence that is what was portrayed in the movie by Ranbir that sex quotient never decides the way you look at people. There are many who don’t have Lee Cooper, Armani, Addidas or luxury brands but they have a heart of gold. A heart that if weighted on a weighing stand would weight more even if all the gold from the world could be melted .but it would generate the 24 karat purity that the heart has. It is said that

“Never love a person for his/her looks but love them for their heart, because at the end when you grow old there will never be any looks but there will be the heart to listen to you.”

Hence a fable movie BARFI says that

“there will be a lot of people out in the world,who will want to destroy you ,harm you, hurt you or even kill you but if the world throws lemons at you then make a lemonade out of it” and that will differentiate you from other. Because

 “An Eye for an Eye will make the world blind”.

Dear father,

My results came out yesterday, and though many people were basking in the sun of glory. I was not the one amongst them, I am not the person to overlook my mistakes be contended with the result and move forward with no improvement. Talking about improvement I didn’t improve an inch in this semester but I degraded. And hence, I have written this letter to let you know of my musing. Where I lost my marks that led to my no improvement policy in the last semester.

Dad life as we learn it from  my talks with grandpa and grandma has always been a one with enjoyment, the way the spent their life enjoying the glorious sun and sleeping in the glory of moon. And looking on those days I feel that is it that we are living in a different world from theirs? Or is that we have moved on so much that we find such things in our life so much unimportant?  But father what I learnt from those talks was that living and experiencing life were the major topics of life, while other things were ancillary things. Why is it that I always find my grandma happy with her pots, pans and god, while at the same moment I find my mom battling so much with things? Is education a harbinger of restlessness? Or is the fact that we have simply lost the essence of life? This is the world where you are taught to colour the roses and hibiscus red but not shown the real things to experience life.

But dad let me tell you that this world doesn’t depend on the way of practical knowledge where a person is dying on road we don’t know how to save him, but we are taught unnecessary things that would never ever help us in our day to day life. Why are we wasting time learning them? Why is it that we can’t turn a page over in our life and forget those things a bit for life. Why are we taught to draw graphics of useless objects like parabola and hyperbola which we are never going to use them again, or for the matter of fact certain things is mechanics of solids. Finding those answers really made me fumble and these were the results of my musing. But I have learnt one things in my life for sure

“I believe that everything in life happens for a reason. People change so that you can let go, things go wrong so that you appreciate them when they are right, you believe lies so you eventually learn to trust no one but yourself, and SOMETIMES GOOD THINGS FALL APART SO THAT BETTER THINGS CAN FALL TOGETHER”

So dad, leave all the topics and let me tell you the result were I lost my marks. I scored 6.48 in 2^nd semester and it was chiefly because of my fumbling errors in maths, though I have tried a lot but this subject never reaches my mind, moreover I passed my most dreaded subjects with CD grades(I am still clueless how) and infact these two subjects led to my fall. But rest are the subjects where I scored according to my expectation and my capability. But

“it’s futile to cry when the milk is spilt”

And hence day I just accepted one thing

“If you can’t be a sun, then just be a star;

If you can’t be a highway, then just be a trail;

It isn’t by the size that you win or lose ;

Be the best of whatever you are.”

Yours obedient son,

Varang

p.s- love you more and more for making my life so comfortable and making it worth living.
