Queen: The modern face of Indian women

All the status updates and reviews of Queen movie literally compelled me to watch the movie. So as I started with the movie, I told myself that by the end of it I’ll have something really good to remember.

But I found the first few scenes to be very weird! We Indians are too bored with the usual boy-breaks-a-girl’s-heart thing! It’s quite usual in India, especially in the case of marriage, to see a girl crying over a boy! Well, we all know that wounds get healed with time and of course I expected the same to happen to her! I didn’t show much of interest in the movie and I found it quite disheartening that people had started loving this kind of story!

I don’t remember what interested me most, but I kept glued to the Laptop throughout the movie. I kind of started liking the way it had been represented. The girl, the simple, sanskari Indian girl was learning to live!
Not a single thing shown in the movie is unreal! Rani, the protagonist, cries remembering that he was there to help her cross the road and now she had to do it all alone. Then how he yelled at her simply because she danced in public. How she had asked if she could work and he had said “No”!

All these things are not something unusual and it is not that every guy is the same. I have seen all this in thousands of movies so I wasn’t getting emotional or anything! But this movie, its concept was not crying and then drying the tears. It was about learning to live and that gave some kind of strength to me. I felt good.
When the movie ended, I felt really fresh and energized. As if someone had shown a mirror of my own life and of the life of thousands of girls out there.

The movie does not go on the concept of “wounds get healed”. It shows that some wounds teach us to be strong, that some things need to be forgotten, forever! That a girl’s happiness is not solely dependent on a guy! That keeping yourself in a shell and being dependent on a guy “just like the old times” only makes you weaker.

It teaches all the Indian women that your life is all yours and no one in the world has the right to play with your emotions. Go out, party hard, make a few mistakes, dance, live and keep your head high!! Don’t let your wounds kill you from within. If there’s anything that bothers you, let it come out and finish it forever.
I totally loved it when she finally returned the ring and walked in confidence.

Great concept! Great movie! A must watch for all parents, girls and all guys!!

Do we know ourselves?

In today's fast paced life, all of us are moving too fast. Some after goals, some after money and the rest after other people! What everyone is missing is the life that they have. The life that is static and calm, forever.  Today, when we have the answer to almost all questions of life, when comfort has become cheaper and when we are almost done with all the questions about our origination & our life, we have now started to learn about life on other planets too. Our daily schedule is fixed. We wake up with a goal in mind, we have our regular coffees, then we go to our offices, with the thought of doing more work, learning something new and then we come home, change and again go out with friends (coz of course we need to release all the stress of work), we come home tired, late at night and go to bed. In this highly busy and fast schedule, we manage our relation with friends, lover, relatives (though their existence has almost become zero today), neighbors and those hi-by

Indian Society and Marriage

Born and brought up in an Indian family certainly means that your marriage will be celebrated in a huge & big-fat manner. All your relatives, your friends, family members keep waiting for that special day to come. It is a very grand event, a life changing one, and a time when you can see happiness on the everyone's faces, where all your family members, relatives and friends are there at the same place and everyone is enjoying. Now lets talk about the other things that are involved with this thing called “marriage”. The accounting and financing part. Well, if you're lucky enough to be a boy, you can surely enjoy everything, right from the start. You value(Selling Price) goes on increasing with every other degree that you get. Nobody cares when you're coming home, when you're going out, what you're wearing and what your complexion is! But if you're a girl, then surely your parents would have saved a large part of their monthly income (ever since you w
