"Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rave at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light." A beautiful poem by Dylan Thomas and and a beautiful work by the Nolan brothers: Interstellar Movie!
Sometimes words are just not enough... there are epics, there are
revolutionary moments, there are geniuses, there are brilliant works of
art, that are meant to be just that.. allowing words to describe them is
quantifying them which is next to impossible but then again I'm just
one small speck in this endless universe and the last person
knowledgeable enough to judge that!
But as far as my understanding goes, what I experienced today is beyond
words, beyond anything I can pen down, beyond everything I expected
from this movie and people who know me very well know that my
expectations from a Christopher Nolan movie can never be anything less than spectacular! All I can say is Interstellar is a MUST WATCH!!

Some stories touch your heart in a way you could never have imagined.
Some stories need to be told, need to be read, and need to be shared
with anyone who cares enough. Some stories teach you the smallest
lessons of lives that we often choose to ignore but they are the ones
that actually need to be learnt. Some characters are just
extraordinary, not because that is how they are portrayed but because
they have to be portrayed like that. They are someone you can connect
to, you can put your faith in, you can
expect the best from and not be disappointed. They may be flawed but
they are perfect humans because no human being is perfect. The Immortals of Meluha
is one of the most beautiful stories I've ever read. The shear beauty
of the story is in how believable it makes the most formidable of all
Gods, Lord Shiv who has always been someone I've had immense faith in.
It makes Mahadev more human than God and you love the entire concept no
matter your need to believe in the divine because divine is not beyond
humanity but just extraordinary humanity; it does not need to be free
from the worldly ties, it just needs to be wise enough to not
over-indulge; it need not be perfect, just simple and accepting; it need
not be about being positive always, just being untouched by negative;
it need not not make mistakes, just realize it in time and then do
everything in power to set it right; it just needs to be unbiased and
caring! And that is what this story is about. The Tridev as not Gods but
humans belonging to different eras, respecting each other, following
the ideals set by each other, learning from the mistakes of each other
and their own, working towards only one aim- to make a beautiful world
to live in, to cleanse the world of evil and not upset the balance of
the universe, the duality! There is so much one can learn from this
book... and to a person so hooked up onto mythology, this is nothing
short of a divinely delicious platter of all their favourite food!

Sometimes just listening to someone recount some events of their life,
send you into retrospecting your own. You realize how meaningless those
little fights were, how silly it was to give up on those people just
because your ego took the front seat for that particular moment, how
lucky you got in that moment just because those people didn't give up on
YOU! And then you are left to wonder, if it will be same every time, if
you need to change your way of dealing with things, or whether it's
even worth the effort if you have to tiptoe around every situation in
life....

A dream that cannot evoke the darkest desires and raging passions within the very core of your being, your heart, your soul.. is not worth remembering!

It's funny how we keep transforming or rather 'growing' with life. We keep changing ourselves, our opinions, views, even virtues AND as an everyday excuse what we say is, "Life happened to us!" Well, it's not completely wrong either. Life DOES happen to us... Only, we choose to keep changing, taking the easier way to get away from pain, fear, and hardships but that is exactly where we land up in the end! It's like the easy path is almost always the wrong path!
