Short term memory loss !?!

Watched GHAJINI today.. Liked it quite much.. Adding to the line of Aamir khan movies :D

Anyone who has watched it would agree it is a kind of movie that has an impact on you for quite a worthwhile time.. However what struck me most was how an audience would find it so different to see someone with a so-called short term memory loss problem. 50 first dates is one of my favourites, the one in which this girl has a 1-day long memory retention power. It did not strike me then, but ofcourse there is a very strong social message attached to Ghajini.. which compels me to find me and you too, just like the protagonist, in a way. Sometimes, we are so touched by some issues, emotions n stuff that are on the screen. We suddenly begin to feel for it so strongly. We hate the particular situation or evil thing portrayed in a story so much. And then ... a day gone, n we get busy with our lives so much, we can't see how the issue effects us. Infact, in a day or two, it doesn't even remotely appear to touch our lives. And anything that's not directly effecting me, doesn't really seem to have a long term influence on me :-?

Doesn't it seem a little like even we are patients of the same DISEASE of having a short term memory? We see child labor everyday, we see all sorts of corrupt things every minute ( we are part of it too many-a-times), we feel so touched n charged when we watch a TZP, or a Phir Milenge, and then the memory is lost. We don't seem to remember what we have seen; we don't even seem to know it's happening around us. I feel worried when i know i am part of a society that is suffering from a short term memory loss. Aren't all of us patients of the disease too?


Does anything seem to make a difference to us? Child labor? Child abuse? Women trafficking? Poverty? Disability? Even if any of these make a difference to us, am i doing anything for it? And if i am not, do i even deserve to be a part of a place where human beings, with the same senses that i am gifted with, are living in devastated , deprived and unjust conditions?

I donno, i guess. I just am sure of the fact that i am simply doing nothing for any issue, and i don't see how little acts can add up and make a difference someday.. I am not sure if whatever is being done in any corners of the wide, huge world, is sufficient enough to make a difference. I am just dawned with a little horrifying realization that i, like a million others, might as well be counted as a patient of a short term memory loss medical problem.




And we still find it amazing to see the aamir khan character on the screen. Some watched with their mouths wide open how the character could not remember anything after every 15 minutes. I'd still appreciate the character. At least he tried like hell to keep his memory intact. We don't even care to be cured.

The most amazing part is that we don't even know that we are patients. We even forget that too /)
huh!

And still, we would prefer calling ourselves superior to any other animal.


I don't see how we really are :-??

Err :-/

Err.. well..just wanted to post something /). Has been a long timew. Not much time to post anything these days.. So mebbe that'll be it for now :(. It'll have to be it. *sigh*
damn damn damn busy

The PINK issue /)

Yeah, I admit I am in an all-girls college now :P! To add to it, we have NO seniors to do the honours of ragging us (which has its pros and corns, to be precise). And of all the new experiences i have had in this new place, the one that has maximum effects on me is the funda of pink! Infact, the first few days, i was like damn damn crazy! All i saw around me was, is and will be pink! :O :O

Though it might sound a little over exaggerated, i must clarify that every single alphabet here is true,independent of my personal disliking for the colour. This might be a little difficult to believe, but once you step into a girls college, followed by your stay in a girls hostel (which might sound like an adventure for some of you out there :P ), you will surely agree with me... When you wake up in the mornings, the first things you see are pink bedsheets, pink curtains, pink pillows, pink cushions, and if you are all the more bestowed by the grace of the colour, you might even come across almirahs with pink papers on them, with stuff scribbled with pink pens on them! Moreover, it should not surprise you to find your roomie, in the divine colour, pink... Based on  your luck, you might spot several other stuff in the colour of the universe :P!

If you are not done with it, you can stand in the queue outside the washrooms, where you are sure to spot people with buckets of the colour , none other than pink! PInk towels, pink shirts, pink kurtis, pink shoes, pink slippers and the list goes on!

Now if this is giving you an impression that you can run away from the colour if you jump out of this place, i regret to inform you that we are not done yet :D! The rest of my day is supposed to be spent in the college (mainly coz i have still not been into the habit of bunking lectures :(( :P ). The first day, my only ray of hope was the bunch of day scholars (for reasons unknown /) ). My eyes looked forward to looking for a colourful world, without the colour pink, with which my eyes had been blinded for the last two days! All's in vain though... The college only bestowed upon me more hues of pink! Now, i m even tired of typing the word "pink", and regretfully, you are also bored of reading this pink post :P.

Basically, i am aware of the girls' love for pink, but the world should also be aware of my hatred for pink (note : my initial "disliking" for pink is now "hatred" ). Supposedly, the world is not aware though. Proof: the pink world around me continues to stay pink and gay (happy that is :P )! To add the finishing touches to this perfect pink world, my professor entered one fine morning into the class, with a blue jeans and a PINK shirt on! :O :O

p.s He is one of the few professors i USED to admire *sigh*

Anyways, I am into this pink world with my black armour on :D :P! But believe me, its not so-easy to survive in a pink world, where people in pink also have the capapbilities to perform extraordinarily well in every possible field! I do respect their love for the colour, but i am sorry, i cannot deny my hatred for it. Period.
