PATHER PANCHALI

                                                           

      Sorry guys ! as I am here interrupting your 21^st century with a antediluvian  flick of 1950’s which is  the braggadocio of  Indian cinema ;Pather Panchali (song of the little Road ),based on a Bengali literary classic by Bhibhuthi bhushan  Bandopadhyay ,directed by the man of the indian cinema Satyajit Ray,  is a luminous revelation of Indian life in a language that all the world can understand , a language of eyes, a language of emotions which makes  you to  envisage that its not only reel but also real.

   Ray influenced by the Italian neo-realism from the films of Jean Renoir and vittorio de sica, made this masterpiece grappling with many troubles. To be frank there is no story in it; the ordinary life of almost every poor family (comprising 80% of Indian population at that time) .

The husband who is unruffled , not worrying but bothering about the family, where at times we feel that he is inefficient and whose thoughts as daydreams. The housewife who worries about the pay he gets, the family needs and about kids and their upbringing. Now introducing one of  best characters of film ,who makes us mesmerised and spellbound by her splendid role-the Aunt.

The story is all about their livelihood , how they survive, how they pay life at cost of their deaths. One when the Old woman dies and later being their daughter Durga .  Undergoing all this Emotional and Economical problems  they still sustain hope on their lives. This tragedy never makes you feel bad but makes you more sensible and realistic, with a haunting  rhapsodic soundtrack by the music maestro Pandit Ravi Shankar .

In making of the film Ray brooked many difficulties almost at par with the characters of his film . He got no financial support, kept waiting for the government loan which finally approved from the government of Bengal. At a stage he sold his wife’s  jewellery and made the film using the leftover parts of the reel and clubbing up them again. This film showed the world the standard of the Indian cinema making it to won a ‘best human document ‘ at the Cannes film festival (1956).

Later he came up with the Aparajitho and Apu Sansar which are the part of the Apu Triology. After them he never looked back.  Some more best films of Ray are Charulatha , Aganthak , Teen kanya ,Nagarik and etc. The Japanese god of cinema Akira kurasawa   said “Not to have seen the cinema of Ray means existing in the world without seeing the Sun or the Moon”.

This is not a review. I just came up with a will to introduce this to people who haven’t yet seen a Ray’s film. Hope you just give a try.

  

LIVE LOVE LAUGH ...................!!!!

Hi   ppl..........in this post I have got few doubts which i feel lyk posting........Its better I coin them as ma thoughts...which always keep sagging me.

? Every one of us have many or few expectations on or loved ones and sometimes...to be frank many times we get turned off..! ; Is it because we are quixotic with our expectations (or) we are more selfish (or) our gal/guy is not that true in the relationship (or) is that we are not quite understanding and unable to put ourself in their shoe........? ..?

! So  its better we don’t have any expectations ....and accept them as the way they are...,and say to yourself that every is nt as romantic as “ME”..!

?? How many of us would prefer to gift someting to mother than their gal/guy...?.....; and   When mom scolds on us we shout bak yelling lyk anything ...but  when our gal or guy shouts on us we try to get d world at their feet.....?...? why dis.....?

!! Its all Fear ; the fear of replaceability. No one can take off our son-mother relationship....no substitution for d position of son....,but in the place of gal/guy its nt lyk dat  so.....we keep all d coolness with us and  be very patient .

???We suspect and doubt our beloved  at times in few situations.............is dat our suspicious mean character or our possessive  and loving nature....?

!!! well......it happens that sometimes we do feel in such way....at some part of the relationship in these days (kaliyugaa...ryt..! ). Its obvious that as we are damn possessive  and caring we do suspect but that doesn’t hav anything to do with trusting of each other........as simple as that. We do hav to give some space to our beau.

???? LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT..................lol.....?

!!!! I donno exactly whether this had been phrased by Shakespeare, Maugham or Keats  

or because these 3 hrs short movies....as the hero gotta luv nd marry her in a short span . I agree with the phrase that Lust at first sight, as wen we first look at the opposite gendre Oxytoxin is the hormone which produces inside us,this makes us to get attracted to them by the physical parameters.  

???? How come everyone has their Romeo/Juliet and are flurry in havin one.....?

!!!! Everyone has got their inamorato ....it has been from a accessory state to necessity. It has been a trendy status quo. So everyone was in hurray choosing one, where they are craving to co-opt one in In and around the bounds. Not waiting much and finding ease in getting one........!; this  exempts many but in general......!!

????? Why we quarrel at our loved ones too........?

!!!!! We are born selfish nd i do accept that it helps in growing up great....but it also injects a shot of ego every now and den which builds up to a mammoth amount by d onset of youth. We fight ,argue, verbose yell to prove that we are right....but in this process of pettifog we win the moment but hurt the hurt and ours later........neva argue......wen ppl are one why to separate that by a Win....?..!

?????? If u are good does that mean that others are bad....? ,...in general ppl intention is to prove that others are bad  and so thats why they are good.

!!!!!! We always compare ourselves with others relatively in a small packed group to knoe whether we are good or bad.We iniatially prove them to be bad  making our path clear so as everyone is bad we are good. But we cant say that others are also good  and i am also.......we cant accept few ..!

??????? If you ever gonna kiss someone , then do you do making assured that hes gonna be ur man/lady for lifetime or you do because you like them.....?
!!!!!!! Actually as a kiss has nothing else than a blend of emotions and hormones.....so if we like the person...., felt him to be sensible enough then we do........but  its not lyk dat we take surity and..guarantee cards......!!

???????? If we encounter a person with the same qualities , habbits and and the same spices wouldn’t that turn us again....as we liked the same thing in our wooer before. So don’t we get attracted to dem den...?

!!!!!!!! hmm......here these kind of the persons are the reason many a times for many break ups and divocees......!!! they do attract unless we are staunch and drenched in our relationships....!!!

Finally one thing .........in all these cases we comfort ouselves  intentionally and compromise  to ease our hearts of these things but we are not inbuilt  that things are lyk this nd let dem happen..as the way they are........

LIVE LOVE LAUGH ...................!!!!
