My thought on: Aarakshan

When i first saw the trailer, I knew exactly what to expect. A lovely melodramatic, heartwarming, meaningful & realistic film. 

The director, Prakash Jha never fails to surprise me. 

The presence of strong dialogs in all his films are well appreciated by his audience and always gets me thinking. His films all have such immense strong morals which i hope everyone learns from. 

You can never walk out from a Prakash Jha film without thinking about the moral. 

I've watched Aarakshan 12 hours ago yet it's still on my mind and I'm not surprised! 

Aarakshan is a movie which i truly believe in. 

This movie shows how the education system is not doing enough or even anything for the people who are lower in society. 

What i love about Amitabh Bachchan's role is his will to give more then he takes & help others even if he has nothing. He has a perspective on education which he truly believes in and stands for thus proves that education is nothing you can buy.This is a reason why everyone should watch this film because we need people to follow Amitabh Bachchans characters footsteps. 

Amitabh's character is a warm, giving teacher who teaches free of cost for students from the weaker community. 

In my opinion education is both equally important to any student who is from a high society class or not. 

What has society to do with education? Why does it matter? In the beginning of the film, Deepak Kumar (Saif Ali Khan) is interviewed by some people & the people ask him about his society/background & not a question about his education. This happens in everyday life and that pains me. Whats wrong with this generation? Society shouldn't be questioned. 

This movie has been banned in 3 states! Why? Watch it yourself to see if its deserved to be banned. 

All the actors in this film portrayed themselves perfectly. This has been my favorite performance of Deepika Padukone as she was influential in her role & extremely committed. 

Amitabh Bachchan was the star, the gold, the diamond. You cannot walk out from this movie without praising Sir Bachchan because his effort, & skills were visible.

Saif Ali Khan hasn't proved himself that much with this film since he wasn't in this film as much as Deepika and Mr Bachchan but his role is like a breath of fresh air. Extremely refreshing and likeable and the same applies to Prateik Babbar! 

It is worth watching for the sake of the moral and lesson but is slow in the second half. Many of the credits go to the director Prakash Jha and I hope people will give this film a chance. 

My rating: About a 6.5 or 7/10

Life & beyond!

"Today is the oldest you've ever been, and the youngest you'll ever be again. Life each moment 
no matter what"-Anonymous. 
Life brings such powerful moments which we have to face. 
Either moments which impact our lives in a positive or negative way. 
In my previous entries of life, we've talked about life being filled with good moments and bad ones. 


"The biggest risk in life is not taking one."
If you don't take risks in life, then how can you say you lived life? 
Isn't life full of taking chances? Full of letting yourself out of your character experiencing 
new things?
We have to go through risks.. Risks which either ends the way we want it to or not. 
To experience both these moments put you in a forward position in life-I mean, doesn't life do that?
This is life.


"Everyone dies, but not everyone lives." "In the end, it's not the years in your life that count, but the life in your years."
These are 2 quotes i recently read on twitter. 
You can die at the age of 85 yet feel you've lived an incomplete life, and you can die at the age of 20 and feel you've lived a complete life with no regrets as you've lived your life to the fullest and ultimate best. 




As much as life isn't about winning, it isn't about the amount of days you've lived either. 


With all the games and obstacles in our lives, we either win or loose. 
Well, winning is one of the best feelings ever experienced. 
A feeling of accomplishment, pride, & joy bundled up together,& above all, the thought of 
being unbeatable.
Losing is another story. 
If life was about winning, then how could you say you've learned anything in life?
Because, when you loose, you learn from your mistakes since the only reason you loose is from a mistake you've done. 
Winning just isn't life because if it were, then cant you just imagine what it would do to your self esteem? 
Loosing builds emotional resilience. 
I'm not saying that losing is life but simply stating that its important to experience loosing too! 
Life is about the things you catch up with by experiencing both winning and loosing (in this matter). 
It's those feelings i've mentioned above about winning which makes you experience the goodness of it and also the importance of loosing by learning how to get back on your feet and learn from your mistakes. 
Winning and loosing both simply move you forward in life. 


Life isn't about the amount of years, months, or days you've lived, but the life and memories in your years.
Never count on the amount of time you may life, because thats not the definition of life. 
Who are you? What is your purpose in life? What is the meaning of your life? 
Instead of asking yourself how much time you have to live, ask yourself how you will use the time your living now! 
Life is full of second chances so if you feel your not living life the way you'd like to now, don't give up on yourself because one day when your in a hospital bed you'll look back and ask yourself why you didn't grab the chance when you could've. 
You must understand its always better late then never. 
Live that 2nd chance and if God doesn't give you that chance, then you have to seize it yourself.
