The Conclusion..





Finally, the nation received its final answers after months of search. India was going through search crisis since 2015. One major question united the nation for almost two years. Why did Katappa kill Baahubali?

Now, when the second and the final installment of Baahubali is released, people will sign a breadth of relief with the exact reason as why the former killed the latter. In these two years, many movies came and went, but not a single movie was able to stir the nation like Baahubali. This is the best thing that I liked about the movie. All the scams, corruption and elections were left behind when Baahubali- The Conclusion came up.

On personal grounds I did not find any logic or connection for watching the rave. A movie that was not a movie, but a visual treat for people who loved video games. VFX work was flawless in both the part (as heard and read), which made the movie worth watching for the ones who went and are going. But is a movie all about watching it for VFX work. I mean, without any plot, storyline and concept, how can a movie work.

Movies are like mirror to the society. A concept packed movie is much more my choice that will make me think, feel, understand and change. It can be movie of any language, any region or any nation, but the connection should be the storyline in it and not the visuals.

Many movies in the recent past are in the row that needs special mention and attention from viewers. Those movies that don’t make it to the 100 crore club, but is a great piece of art to watch. Such movies that have the potential to bring change in the society through their plot, storyline and treatment, should be made, promoted and watched.

In the Ocean of Words…

Shivers went down my spine and I was awestruck. For that moment I was not able to understand what is to be done. It was like I did not exist in this world. Books and books everywhere took me to someplace else that may have never existed.
‘World Book Fair’ at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi was where I was standing. I as a reader was visiting it for the third time. Entering the much known venue can bring so much satisfaction is what this Book Fair teaches me. Every year I go through the same place, same type of books, same publishers and same writers, but still something changes from year to year.
With each passing day, I am growing, I am aging and I am gaining, not only pounds of weight, but experience, happiness, sadness, success, failure and countless other emotions. Wish or desire to read a book revolves around the emotion or say situation we all go through.
Like every child, every book is special in its own way and as beauty lies in the eyes of beholder, fondness of a book lies in the mind of a reader. In the ocean of books, I feel like swimming, touching the words and feeling it in me like the waves. Going deep down the book, at that limit their words change into visuals, playing straight in front of me. It is an amazing experience to know each story, to know each character and to live with the character until it’s over.
Book lovers are many, but living with a book is rare, flowing with a story is not that happens daily. I live with a book. I wish to read all the books, but alas time is brutal. It takes away those things that are dear to us. Managing with this hectic schedule is like fighting with the huge waves that swipe your feet away from sand and carries you to the water.
But Struggle is what keeps you moving one..!! Keep Moving Keep Reading.
