Impasse...

I had a very pleasant day today, it was a very happening and eventful weekend. Its unbelievable I'm still awake after such a tiring day. But, sleep is no near to me - so thought of watching a movie. Started searching for any good movie which can bring some good sleep to mind. A list came up in front of my eyes- it was difficult to slide through each of the screens and choose from the list. But, thanks to computer algorithm, the list was alphabetically ordered.

Suddenly, one of the Tamil movie caught my eyes - Anniyan. To tell you the truth, I can't read, write or even understand Tamil. I clicked on the movie link to check if it has English subtitles of the dialogues. Thankfully, the movie had English subtitles. A glimpse of my childhood came in front of my eyes. Watching regional movies on Doordarshan every Sunday afternoon, was my habit. They also had these English subtitles of different regional language films. Although, its bit odd to convert the dialogues to some other language - the translation sometimes becomes just a translation without any human touch to it. But the dialogues will have lots of human touch with them. Still I like them because they lend their hands to understand the film, understand the characters.

Anniyan was very emotional, heart touching movie. Ambi made me to laugh, Anniyan made me to cry and Remo made me to sigh. Different characters but one person. One brain but different frequency of thinking. One body but different course of action. After watching it, I felt very good. That's what you expect from any movie, aren't you? You feel better when you come out of the theater and all of your walk/journey back home, your mind will be mulling over the film. Each sequence, each moment tries to come in front of your eyes and tries to exemplify themselves.

The film decorates the words of Veda. Veda was written to tell one, one to choose right from wrong. Compelling one to do right was the main aim of Veda. Try to guide and show you a right path towards Mukti was the objective of Veda. But now a days I don't see anything so called - Right or Wrong. Everything is right if you are ethically right. On the contrary you are wrong if you are ethically wrong. All Vedas or part of Vedas have been re-written as ethics now a days. For each field different set of ethics - Corporate ethics, Social Ethics etc.., Eventually, ethical right and ethical wrong have replaced the rights and wrongs. You can give many examples for this, can't you?
