Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge

-

#YOLO is the only reason I could watch this movie. “Must reach the end....must survive....must finally start hating Yash Raj movies”, my mind muttered, finding this ordeal more complicated than an exercise of integration. The urban dictionary defines any character with the name Raj as “A Scottish term for someone going crazy with rage”, subtly describing my state of mind while watching this movie.
     So, when the lad and lass had their final, super awkward conversation, two ridiculously paradoxical situations are created. Simran plays the Friend card in a hilariously inconsiderate way. All she said was “Friends?” as she politely asked him to return to the friend zone after increasing his hopes. You could see Raj’s agonized soul in his eyes. His will power permitted him to reply with “Hmm...” As Simran smiled, looking accomplished, you can feel “Hum pe ye kisne, hara rang dala, khushi ne hamari hame maar dala” play on full blast like there is no end, in Raj’s heart.  Raj walks away, showing his not so amazing derriere to the camera and as the last of his Scottish body disappears, you can see the look of horror on Simran’s face. Her expression looks like the one you see on yours or someone’s face when after an exam your answers don’t match with anybody’s answers. That when she realizes that Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and she likes the guy who she brutally friend zoned a few nanoseconds ago. It’s like her mind did a full somersault and in that process, made me loose mine.



This isn’t just genius; it’s indeed amongst the most impeachable works in the genre Romance!

     “With the single exception of Homer, there is no eminent writer, not even Sir Walter Scott, whom I can despise so entirely as I despise Shakespeare when I measure my mind against his."-  George Bernard Shaw              Reading or listening to Shakespeare can be like learning a foreign language. And then some people have trouble finding the "real" or "true" emotion or feeling in the words. It takes time, and everyone is in such a hurry. Well, not everyone. People liked the movie "Shakespeare in Love", but then the language was changed when the "real" characters were talking with each other while not reciting their lines. The main issue may be intellectual accessibility. They are nauseatingly boring to read. And all I learned was that Early Modern English hurt my brain. The most bizarre and probably the coolest of all was Muammar al-Gaddafi on Willy, who was,  Sheikh  Zubayr bin...

Black Lives Matter

'There comes a time when silence is betrayal'.   -Martin Luther King .  To where it all started… Let's go back in time to the year 2013- The year 2013 which has made all difference by celebrating the acknowledgment of the existence of black lives, when the never answered injustice in the form of racism was questioned. Black lives matter is the world famous movement which signifies the contribution of the black folks in the society. The movement came to life against the white supremacy because of the deadly oppression and the brutal behaviour faced by the black race community. The movement black lives matter focuses on changing the mindset of racists that there is no black-white, African-American, the only race is Human race. In other words, humanity should be our race and love should be the religion. How digital media played a role? The gruesome death of Trayvon Martin a 17 year old African American who was shot in Sanford, Florida by George Zimmerman wh...

Feminism: The Way Of Being

  A feminist is anyone who recognizes the equality and full humanity of women and men. Gloria Steinem. Feminism not a one way concept, a wide spectrum…       Feminism – an eight-letter word which has shaped the beliefs of all of the human-kind, which has kept the connotation of ‘feminism’ as the advocacy of women’s rights the grounds of the equality of the sexes. Through this piece, I’d like to share my notion about this sentiment, seeking to establish parallel ‘hope’, ‘freedom’, ‘space’, ‘contingency’ and ‘cut’ through a male prospect. The penchant wave formally began in 1848, where about three hundred men and women rallied about for the cause of equality for women. The socio-historical oppression was born when contradiction was seen as the antagonism between both of these sexes on the basis of biological differences, being compared to men, it was believed that women were at a biological disadvantage, as the reproductive function of a woman was considered as a ...
