CONCEALED LAYER OF FILMS

Lights camera action!!!!!When we think about a film, these words are the first to pop up along with actors acting in beautiful places, getting awards, earning money, making records on how much the film earned etc. Films always share something which is hidden and most people ignore them. There is a hidden layer in them.
Most people go to watch a film just for entertainment. To escape from their sorrows, to see something which they always desired , just having fun or getting to know more about that topic through a film. Films are of different genres as the makers know that different people like different things.
Now a days the makers produce people centric films as they want to earn profit. Films are slowly becoming a business but there are some people who love to showcase there own ideas. Some films give a good social message and also there is a parallel cinema focusing entirely on creative ideas which is not yet showcased but generally people like entertaining light films. The viewer buys the ticket and views the film. He enjoys it sometimes, sometimes not and goes home after getting entertained. Makers put in a lot of effort like technology, costumes, sets, shoots in different places etc. And expect good profits/outcomes. Afterwards, actors get a lot of money and awards and so on. But there is a facet of this which we completely forget. Why are films made? Is it only for sheer entertainment or does it teach us something ?
I believe that films give an overview on how to live life. Various genres of films show us that how one's choice affects oneself. They show us how to make decisions. They make us aware of our surroundings and make us feel proud of ourselves. They give us hope and also methods through which we can start afresh. Even the animated films which  people think are childish give a message which is immense.  Films tell us about about responsibilities, choices, sorrow, strength, consequences and the reason to live happily and peacefully, enjoying each and every moment .
So I believe that though films are entertainment but they also give us many more things. We only need the power to see it and seize it !!

Pink Is For Girls And Blue Is For Boys, Why?

Now it sort of like a norm with everything pink customized for women and depicting feminity whereas blue and darker colours depicted masculinity.   Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I have written in this platform but I am grateful to all of you who have kept coming to this page and enjoying my world.  As I was deciding what to wear for my birthday in May I saw this pink dress which I had bought for Holi which I hadn’t worn because of the whole pandemic. I was still searching if I could find something else I could where instead of that pink dress when a thought came into my mind, Why am I not wearing pink? Since we are born somehow it is seen that if it’s a girl everything is pink and if it’s a boy everything is blue. Even for gender reveal parties and stuff this colour coordination is used. As the child grows up from birthday parties to clothes to room colours, everything is either pink or blue based on the gender. I guess me not liking pink was sort of a rebellion...

Will Earth become a legend?

A big blue planet, lifeless and cold. It seems that nothing moves within it, when I view it from my telescopic window. Elders of our community tell us that this lifeless blue planet was called Earth. Lots of beings(living as well as non living) thrived on it. Human beings flourished and evolved on it. They used the natural resources present on the Earth to develop new technologies but human beings had a tendency to overuse those resources and then wanting more. This sense on unsatisfaction gradually led to depletion of the resources. Scientists and environmentalists persistently warned the human society but they didn't heed the warning. Some scientists and environmentalists started looking for a planet suitable for life.At last after continuous research they found a planet and started moving onto that planet. My grandparents were one of the people who agreed to go to that planet. After a year the Earth was destroyed due to floods, deforestation, volcanic eruption etc. like...

Sifting through the Past

Hello everyone It's been a while since I have posted anything.  While I was clearing my almirah I found old things of mine that I had created in the yesteryears. You feel so nostalgic when you view such things also you laugh at the fact that you once thought of such things and created them.  I always laugh when I read my old diary or letters I had written a few years ago. In that moment you also realise the value of time and how it is so fast. Also, while you are sifting through the sands of past (my father told me this line and I fell in love with it ever since)  you become grateful and thankful of what you've done, people who have helped you learn those things and it keeps you grounded.  Once a while I recommend everyone to go through old memories and be thankful for them occuring in your life. It will help you be proud of your life and help you be more grateful for it.  On that note I present you with a poem that I wrote 5 years ago which I discove...
