#08: Indian Secularism.

The post I’m going to write about, lead me to the question that do we really have secularists? If we are in India, I guess… NO.

If you’re from a major community and honor your religion, you’re an extremist. But if you belong to a minor community and showing love for your religion, it’s a personal matter of individual. Welcome to the world of Indian Secularism, rather you say it the world of hypocrisy.

Question isn’t how we are taking it. (We are used to let go these things anyway.) Question is where is it leading us? The so called leaders, feeling proud for being called secularist, are really oxidizing the base metal of the country. Despite of people have started understanding these, problem arises due to ineffectiveness of people to take a stand.

A man is afraid to say something under the fear of being called extremist and everyone starts playing “naro va, kunjaro va…” way. This won’t solve the purpose. It’s not matter of majority or minority, its matter of truth. Right can’t be wrong and wrong can’t be right. If it is so, why people are afraid of saying it publicly? No one is ready to turn the cards first. And that’s what had led us in current dilemma. Though sometimes, apart from fear of one’s image there is another fear of losing vote bank. Why it is so? I’ll never believe that Indians are not smart enough to recognize the face behind the mask.

Indeed, we need one more Sardar patel back in India. But the problem is everyone is waiting for someone to become like him, no one is ready to jump into. Krishna said in Gita “tadatmanam srujamyaham and sambhavami yuge yuge”, and we, taking it for granted, are still waiting for his advent. Don’t wait… He wants to advent in our heart; just we’ve kept our door closed.

Don’t afraid on being alone. Do remember. “Behind every revolution, there’s always only one man.” Start a new day today. Speak up. Don’t let some hypocrite leader make a distance between you and your neighbor of another religion. Time is to unite now. Time is to define the real secularism. Time is to build a joyful secular India.

Written in the name of “Sarva-dharma Sam-bhav…” Let’s wish to live this motto in real terms soon. Amen, Tathastu. – DJ.

#14: Dardura Special. Hail Darduras...!

Darduras are here... Darduras are there... These Darduras are everywhere...! First I need to explain what is Dardura? But the right question is who is Dardura? He/she is a kind of species of human being. You can say either is an alien that looks like human being. "Yatra dardura vaktarah, tatra maun hi shobhe chhe..." like of an ukti is there in Sanskrit. Which means when frogs are lecturing around you, better you keep silence. Hope now you have identified the Dardura as it's always there every next step of our life. The pity is you can't do anything with these Darduras. They are either your relatives or your elders or the ones you ought to respect. No wonder they have never been to Junagadh yet they'll advise you how to climb Mount Everest. They'll keep interfering your life untill you really feel there's no life in your life. You are angry. You wanna kill them. You wanna eat them. But these darduras are eternal creatures. Nainam chhindati shashtrani, ...

#24: Case 7492_Elvira's Premonition of Death. Part I

“Weekends are as refreshing as white sand beaches here.” Henry said while gearing car to the top gear. Traffic was not much on highway because of late night. They were driving back from Rostock to Munich. “We never have weekends Henry.” Derick replied with his heavy voice. “Some jobs aren’t time lined and we should respect that thing. Doctors, Fire fighters, Police all are sort of…” By the time his cell rang. “Mr. Jefferson…” A girl was there another side. “Elvira…” Derick identified her voice vacillating. “You seem tensed.” “I just had a premonition Mr. Jefferson.” She said reluctantly. “I had seen my death.” “What…?” Derick couldn’t believed his ears. “Elvira…” “I know it’s difficult to hear what I’m saying.” She said. “But someone gonna kill me tonight. I had seen my death in front of my eyes, my last premonition ever…” “Don’t panic Elvira.” Derick said. “We have just left from Rostock so will be there tomorrow morning but I’m calling Alfred. He’ll be ...

#48: Notes on Filmmaking _ Introduction.

Hi folks. As promised ago, I’m starting here some notes on Filmmaking related things. We’ll begin with introduction & as it is the first one, I’ll keep it very basic and fundamental. We will move forward in detailed things one by one. So let’s begin. In earlier days, Films were used to be silent i.e. only visuals, no sound. Then came talkies and it gave a meaning to the scene. So a film became an audio-visual presentation. But not every audio-visual is a film. A footage of a street with all background voices/noises or a video of a birthday party has both audio and video but it is not a film. So how films differ from these? Well, a film should convey a story. If that street or that birthday party is having a character that portrays some part of a story and then that footage has become a part of the film. Cool, so more or less a story is needed to be told. Now the way you convey the story is what we call a screenplay. I.e. how will the scenes be played on the screen? (N...
