Chhoti Si Baat

Watched Basu Chatterjee's Chhoti Si Baat (1975) the other day starring Vidya Sinha & Amol Palekar in the lead roles. Its a love story of a shy accountant who is in love with a woman but afraid to express it due to lack of confidence. He tries everything to overcome this problem but no success. Later on, he comes to know of a Col. who guides people in such situations. The Col. gives him many tips to boost his confidence. His training at Col.'s is throughly enjoyable. One of his many lesson's is:

"World is divided into two kinds of people. Winners & Loosers. Bottom is crowded but there is always room at the top."

How very true. But I at times wonder... is wining everything. At times people win by loosing. Aap bhi soochiayay... main bhi soochat hoon :)

I guess everyone an learn from this movie.

Agent Smith/Oracle on Human Beings in The Matrix Revolutions

Smith/Oracle: Why, Mr. Anderson, why? Why, why do you do it? Why, why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting for something, for more than your survival? Can you tell me what it is, do you even know? Is it freedom or truth, perhaps peace - could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson, vagaries of perception. Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself. Although, only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson, you must know it by now! You can't win, it's pointless to keep fighting! Why, Mr. Anderson, why, why do you persist?
Neo: Because I choose to.

Agent Smith describes Human Beings in The Matrix

I'd like to share a revelation during my time here. It came to me when I tried to classify your species. I realized that you're not actually mammals. Every mammal on this planet instinctively develops a natural equilibrium with the surrounding environment but you humans do not. You move to an area and you multiply and multiply until every natural resource is consumed. And the only way you can survive is to spread to another area. There is another organism on this planet that follows the same pattern. Do you know what it is? A virus. Human beings are a disease, a cancer of this planet. You are a plague, and we are the cure.

Question of the Day

Why there isn't any new DIVINE religion for the past 1400 years?

Question of the Day

Why miracles do not happen nowadays?

Question of the Day

Question everything, including this Maxim
