Establishing myself about movies

I had gone out with my family to Marina beach to enjoy our sunday over there  and to celebrate the advent of my cousins.While we all were playing with frisbee,two gentlemen interrupted us from our play.They both politely introduced themselves,one of the two was a reporter and was from chennai and the other was a foreigner and a photographer.Within a few moments They told us that they were from BBC and  were here to interview us regarding South Indian politics  and many questions on how and why  movie stars have the  maximum probability to  become politicians in south India? I didn't answer the question and they both left the place.

I just thought of this answering this question through this portal to establish myself.
In late 60's,only primary source of entertainment for Indians is cinema.Years passed by now,even today we look movies in the same way.Movies create a lot of  buzz,hype,impact on people,we all look at moviestars with awe and show  unconditional love for the characters they play .See,stars perform in their films aggrandize with positivity,every dialogue they deliver will definitely reach the audience either positive or negative.Indians dont look  film as a film,they learn from it,they look to embed in their real lives,they inspire a lot from movies.People keep on repeating some punch lines  delivered by their favorite star to other people.Stars like MGR,NTR,Rajini had taken their industry by a big storm during their respective periods because of their on-screen charisma makes them class apart,giving people back to back hits and becoming the undisputed kings of box office.People strongly believe that what they had done in their reel life,they would do the same thing their real life(serve for the people).I think this happens only in India I'm not here to defend,this is good i think that's why moviestars have maximum probability to become politicians.

What actually defines you?

Few questions that I always ask myself  Is it the social intelligence that defines you? Is it the good looks that defines you? Is it the physical health that defines you? We have many ways to quantify intelligence,looks and physical health. Intelligence can be quantified with the help of so called I.Q (Intelligent Quotient), Looks can be quantified based on the Age/tone of your skin/your smile etc. Likewise, Health can also be quantified based on diet you follow / Exercise to keep yourself fit each day. All the parameters mentioned above not exactly define you.They are tools to assess you at that particular instant. Human minds are not static,they swing in different directions. Life is an integration of situations/instances that you face over time. Decision making is always difficult because the future of the curve is decided by decisions that you make. It is very hard to sustain your momentum going but when you choose different track you have to make sure that you f...

Connecting the dots

Ever since I started pursuing science, there has always been some kind of doubt. The question of “Am I heading in correct direction or not?” “Is it what I truly desire? “ “Would I have done better in something else?” “Did I not explore that?“ Kept bothering me. Since few days, I really enjoyed the way I found joy in exploring small things. I also realized that there is nothing else which gives me the great pleasure other than doing science. I get fascinated with things that I read and see. This fascination drives me to understand more. As i get fascinated with different things that I see, somewhere down the line, I strongly believe there’s a beautiful story which is stitching together while exploring it. This current mindset which I have to find joy in small things found the pleasure in something which made my day. I don’t know for what reason that is driving me since morning. Never have I ever had a hassle free day, this one subtle euphoria (which remains constant) ke...
I still don't understand how people zero down to a particular subject without knowing about the subject.Students take up the specific subject as their lifetime career after finishing their school but how students have zeroed down  one specific subject without leaving a question to others? Do we need to live the life the way comes and go along with that? How people say that "I'm really passionate about this" without knowing the subject? all these questions kept me boggling throughout the day and night. Let's take my case I took up biotech as my career after my 12th still I don't know why? keep this apart,I don't think even after undergoing 6 months of lectures,assignments,exams,practicals....... won't provide sufficient base for us to develop interest.I still remember a famous saying by John Nash that-"Hours of lecture will make you dull and makes you averse towards that subject."I'm in a state of predicament where I can't find my i...
