Moh Maya Money, Arrival and Dear Zindagi

Genius is not knowing the answer to every question but trying to answer unknown questions with patience and research. Genius is one knowing where to end it.

Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results is foolish.

Well i go on my usual binge of movies. This time it was Moh Maya Money, Arrival and Dear Zindagi. These movies revolve around `the theme "Expectation is the root of all heart ache."

Moh Maya Money: I really liked this movie. The movie revolves around a middle class man wanting to be rich. My question is who does not want to be rich. Everyone shares the desire to be rich. Well in this movie and in his quest of being rich he spins a web of lies to reach his goal. He wants to get out of his middle class life and satisfy his wife. His wife too from her end spins her own web of lies. The whole family drama revolves around the deceit involved by both and the individual outcomes they have to deal with. Unable to keep up with the growing expectations they succumb eventually with what life has to offer.

My take home message is If one can correct things from going to Bad to Worse it is best that they correct it.  As long as you pursue unethical ventures and not get caught is fine. (All have their own definition of unethical). I like a quote in the movie that talks about taking risk Marega to hi  Swarg me Jayega. Agar Swarg ka Rasta nahi dik raha hain to marna acha nahi hain. After seeing how shit unfolds i would rather not get my hands dirty. Once caught you have to face the music. If one relentlessly pursues to  correct the damage it is not always necessary that it will work for you. One should know when to put a stop. Genius is knowing when to stop. Expectation is definitely a root of  all heart ache when you are not sure if things will definitely work out for the good. Taking unwanted risk will definitely drown you to the abyss of the ocean floor.

This movie revolved around a man who wants to keep his wife happy by being rich. His whole motive was to have a happy family. Whenever shit revolves around Woman i give it a diagnosis Regina (Moh), Vagina (Maya) Angina (Money).

Arrival: I am still not able to get a strong hold about this movie. This movie according to me too revolves around the theme "Expectation is the root of all heartache". Memory is the strangest of things. It has to deal with order as per the world revolves. The movie discusses the life of a translator who has flashbacks of her younger life and how things connect to her present. All of a sudden there are alien space vessels coming out of no where. Alien vessels are strategically placed all over the world. 12 Alien vessels placed all over the world are talking to each other without emitting any transmitter waves and reasons unknown to man. Man unfortunately thinks to know the answer for everything but unfortunately his own expectations are not matching up. They let a translator and physicist communicate with aliens. The movie revolves around the communication with Aliens. They dont know what they are and face a tough time trying to understand them. Eventually over time they ask them the purpose of the visit after learning how to communicate. The answer they get was ("We are helping mankind for thousands of years and Use Weapons"). The Chinese are against unleashing weapons on mankind and want to fight the alien vessels. But then things change when the American translator gets a vision of talking to Chinese Military general in the future and she then acts accordingly and makes a call in the present which then has a different course in the movie. 

My take home message is obscure. Movie had a Biblical connect talking about visions in it. Aliens are Gods and want us to fight. It was definitely a strange movie. 

Dear Zindagi: I liked the movie as it has a lot of take home message in it.

An ode is a form of lyric poetry — expressing emotion — and it's usually addressed to someone or something, or it represents the poet's musings on that person or thing.

Dear Zindagi is in  short is an ode to life. This movie revolves around a females struggle with failure and the emotions she has to deal with. This movie definitely has the the theme Expectation is the root of all heart ache  and how she overcomes her hurdles in life with finding solutions. 

Gist of the movie: Kaira has certain expectations in life. When expectations dont match up to reality she has trouble dealing with it. Grief stricken she heads home after failures in Mumbai and does not like the tone to it. She in her subconscious knows that We all are mad and a therapist is needed to solve our mental problems. She luckily finds Dr. Jehangir Khan interesting. Her subconscious known thought makes her to seek help from a psychologist Dr Jehangir Khan. Dr Jehangir Khan coaches  her in life lessons in order to deal with life and make the best with what life has to offer. I liked the Kabaddi scene in the beach. In short this is what life is all about "Dont let life get to you."

Take Home message: 

Once a man wanted to climb Mount Everest. He wanted to climb it without due diligent preparation. On seeing a Chinese expedition to Mount Everest he decided to proceed with it. With great zeal and vigor he started marching forward. The Chinese expedition warned him to stay back with the troop and not walk away on his own. Due to a communication gap he thought that they were cheering him. On moving ahead he encounters a snow leopard that devours him. He cries for help and the Chinese tourist on the contrary thinks that he has walked far ahead and start praising him.

In short when we are not prepared for  doing something great it is better we opt for something that is easy and less fulfilling. It is not necessary that we punish ourselves and push ourselves to achieve the difficult with less preparation. Goals need to be realistic in life.

In today's world as per research a man during his life on earth  may meet 150 people on a average. Out of them 50 are those who you feel comfortable to invite them at home. 4- 5 (Inner circle) is the number who you are really comfortable with. Comfortably indices keep on changing with time, circumstances and expectations. So in today's world one needs to be comfortable with himself. Only if you are comfortable with yourself you will not need the approval of others or care for their judgement. If you dont take control over your car some one else will then start driving you. 

Finding a suitable partner is like finding a comfortable chair. Peoples opinion matter less. One is branded a SLUT/MAN-WHORE on having multiple relationships. One should care less with what people have to say.

If you are living in the past you will make the present miserable and the possibility of expecting a better future will significantly diminish.

One should be possible to express their emotions as and when they feel. Bottling up of emotions will not let you experience the best when needed. Putting yourself in pain and living with pain by compromise will do no one any good.

Problems are usually for the most man made. We dig our own graves by excessive thinking on it. Try to find your comfortable chair. 

Hence i come to terms with this famous Shakespearean quote

 "Expectation is the root of all heartache"
