break ke baad

Went to see this movie yesterday. I watched movie in theater almost after one year. Realized a few things

• Its good to watch movies in theater once in a few months. It feels younger than the actual age :P
• Why do hindi movie directors think that each and every thing must be explained in detail as if people can't think on their own?
• Why does the hero/heroine in a hindi movie realize key things at 11th hour?
• Some random dialogue about life/love in the movie is actually a very good thought and makes you think
  
• Its also good to watch movie when theater is almost empty with only few people along with
• Randomly made movie plans turn out to be good even if the movie is not actually good
  

copyright

We are yet lot to learn about copyright !

pretension

pretension is bad, but sometimes (and for limited time) needed for survival!

saying sorry

Read a nice quote a few days back - "Saying sorry doesn't always mean I am wrong, it means I value our relation more than my ego."

random..

i thought i wrote these learnings somewhere in blog, but i didnt' see it in a quick look over past posts.. no harm if it is a repost

oversimplification is bad.
and
empathy (samvedana) is very important.

focus on feelings, not expressions

In some incidents in the past, I always wondered - "what went wrong if I express what I feel" and always wondered why my expressions with my closer friends are creating (minor) problems. A learning a past few days : it is not the expression somebody can have problem with, its the feeling itself.

philosophy

all philosophies are correct. there is no proof to philosophy

beauty

“What makes the desert beautiful,” says the little prince, “is that somewhere it hides a well…”

plastic, not bullshit!

While traveling with a few friends in rural area, I realized how useful bullshit is. It is used as fuel, to keep houses clean and neat, acts as fertilizer and so on.. So I realized when we call something or somebody bullshit, it is actually insult of bullshit - which is such a useful, nice and ecologically good thing.

So I came up with a proposal of using the word plastic instead of bullshit. Plastic is so useless, is not biodegradable, adds to the absolute waste and pollutes things like water, air and soil!

frustrated

Two days before, some friends gathered at my room. One day later, I come to know that two of the people gathered (well, they are not friends, not even close acquittance), have taken some of my books without my consent!!! I am very particular about my books.

I was totally angry and frustrated by this action of these people. Even after expressing my anger, these two people don't seem to have a feeling that they have done something wrong! This post is another way to out my anger. And I am sure, that none of them is going to read this :|

love and passion

When u like somebody, its like every action of yours is inclined towards it. So if you want to do something passionately (or u want to be passionate about something), every action of yours should be inclined towards the passion, it should be extremely intense.

I knew it already, but today I realized why saint poets use the metaphor of love to their devotion towards God.

(Written a few days back. publishing it today. )

right to remain silent!

I am talkative by nature. While chatting with friends, I either chat more or at least as much as those. So normally I have lot of things to tell, lot of experiences to share. But sometimes I feel like keeping silent - I don't feel like talking, I just feel like listening to person(s) in front of me. But then these people fall short of things and the communication stops. So sometimes they ask repeatedly - why are you silent? When told the reason, they won't instantiate a conversation. And the whole business gets irritating sometimes.
I feel like telling - what if I am silent (and I explicitly mention the reason why am I silent), you keep talking or telling. I have a right to remain silent and listen to you :D .

why?

why do good looking females make-up horribly in their weddings?

Dunjay?

I used to feel spelling of my name is quite easy - Dhananjay, isn't it? But after I joined my current company, I have come to know a lot many variations of my name's spelling. Listing them here - dhanjay (very common, done by many), dyananjay, denanjay, denjay (!), dunjay (?!). dhhyananjay. Its entertaining!

who's responsible for this?

Student suicides rock Mumbai

रागाच्या भरात नेहाचा अविचार..

Somebody has to be, as the small kid is too young to decide and act on things like this on her own.

Who then - her bullshit and idiot parents? Or the senseless junta who watches the reality shows like this? or "Society"?

The money makers behind such shows are gone beyond ethics. But isn't there any responsibility of dumb individuals who watch such bull-shit shows??
