Inception: Why I liked it?

If you want to see, what wonder a good Director can create on well written tight script and bunch of good actors, you must go and watch Inception.
Hearing a lot many good reviews and praises about this new flick, we booked Sunday morning show tickets. Seating with a houseful of audiences, loaded with high expectation, we were a little afraid or better say, skeptical about the movie. For most of the highly praised movies, distaste has been a general phenomenon for we people.

Inception ~ Experience the Maya

So, the movie started with a strange Leonardo presented to an old man, who had seen the totem in his half-dream and have been waiting

for this young man to kill himself. Here starts the series of dreams woven so extensively into and within each-other that you won’t be able to realize when you got so much involved in the movie. The movie let’s one drive through mazes, and provides an opportunity to think beyond what is real and what is dream. The more you get involve, the more your thoughts become spiritual in nature.
Leonardo's Totem
It would be killing the fun, if I tell the story. The real thing is what one can experience oneself, provided if there is anything real. J

Diving in to the thoughts provoked by the movie, at a point I was wondering is it not what Krishna described as Maya. What he said that nothing is real, but the Maya. The conflict of Reality and Maya is very well depicted through the Real World and Dream conflict. The way the concept of dream extraction and further dream-implantation or inception is materialized in the movie is sheer brilliance of the script and direction. Doesn't Krishna describes himself as the one who sows the seed into the Prakriti or Nature that gives birth to life, the self and the intellect! We are actually the projections of The Almighty’s Dream and living in an Unreal World or Maya as designed by Him. And when we start creating or own projections in this Maya/Imagination of God, there starts the conflict, between the Creator and Creature, the Nature and the Human, so on so forth.... The more I think, the more I get involved. Go and get involved thyself. This is the best way to appraise the beauty. About my take on Maya, a more direct approach would be better' so next time...
Inception ~  Me
For me, Inception is the Best movie I have seen since Matrix I. It’s one movie one must go and watch, not for Stars it had earned in reviews but because if you won’t, you won’t even realize what you have missed.

Banned Indian Books

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth... Few days back when I came to know about a book on an Indian Business Barron on the Banned Indian Books’ List, the first thing that came in my mind were the lines from Tagore . What an irony, we live in a country, whose forefathers have dreamt about a nation without fear, about a nation with right to speech, right to knowledge; and where the Government enjoys the “privilege” to “freely” ban the books, censor what it feels offensive! Wikipedia describes Banned books as the books whose free access is not permitted. Further it says that the practice of banning books is just another form of censorship, and often has political, religious or moral motivations. In our country, banning books have got its history since the British rule days. In fact, few of the Books ...

Trekking Ghansoli Gawli Dev (Parsik) Hill

It’s been there for geological ages, we have been looking at it for last about 4years and I have been planning to trek it since a long time. Finally, few weeks back, we trekked the Ghansoli Hill. Ghansoli Hill is located at the eastern boundary of Ghansoli town, behind our office complex at RCP. The hill or better hillock is a part of small range that separates Kalyan and Navi Mumbai towns. A search on Google Map returns with a name Parsik Hill for it, though there is one more rather famous Parsik Hill in Navi Mumbai. We also found a NewsArticle , that talks about NMMC plans to develop Nature Awareness Centre at this hills and calls it Gawli Dev Hill. Here, we would be calling it Ghansoli Hill . I asked my colleague about it and he readily agreed. The very next Sunday we did it with another friend. We weren't aware of the route. All we knew is that a Central Road runs along the western edge of the hill and can be reached through the Vashi-Mhape road. We later found that t...

Natarang (नटरंग): My First Marathi Movie

Last Sunday was day booked for movies. First on the slot was Natarang (नटरंग). Natarang was my first Marathi movie and perhaps the second Regional Language movie after the classic Nadiya Ke Paar (नदिया के पार ) . Except for a few words, I don’t understand Marathi , and thus watched the subtitle version. But, I was so engrossed in movie that for the times was feeling the movie and not reading it. May be, as said by Paulo Coelho in The Alchemist , the characters were speaking World’s Unified language . The best side of the movie was its ability to keep the viewer enthralled throughout. Story line was about a body-builder farmer taking the risk of opening a theatre company, putting all his emotions on stakes; finally dares to take the role of a eunuch-character on stage. For the purpose, the hunk villager, played by Atul Kulkarni , shaved off his thick manly moustaches and had to lose his muscles. He learns the ways a woman walks talks and plays with different gestures. In the course, h...
