Taare Zameen Par

Awesome awesome awesome, movie!!
Just proves that people have realized that not all movies need to be made with a hero and heroine who are lovers, and songs and the whole brouhaha.
A story which also has a message.
And also loved the fact that the film is partially inspired by Calvin and Hobbes.

Won't give out much. Go and watch the movie yourself.
p.s. I cried once and was on the verge at least 4 times.

Moorda Dhan (Dead money)

This phrase was used by an elderly gentleman whom I had the opportunity to meet in one of my train rides. He was epitome of grey wisdom. Also having read and travelled a lot. He knew all about parvati valley (Malana) and about how it is difficult finding labourers in Chhattisgarh because of the minimum price for rice (i'll write about that in another post).

I am paraphrasing,..

Why do people run after money? How much of your life you actually waste going after that, when in fact even when you get it, are you truly happy.
In fact there is two kinds of money in this world. 'Dead money' and well 'alive money'.

Now let us see what is alive money. A cycle rickshaw puller earns say 100 bucks a day. How much time does that money stay in his pocket? A day, 2 days maximum a week. I would say most of it is spent in a day. That money is truly alive. It moves. It's dynamic. It changes hands.

Dead money on the other hand is dead. It stays where it is. It rots. For the most it may reproduce, I mean gain interest, but even then it's like two elephants mating. Once in a year?

So in short don't kill money.

I am not sure exactly how to go about following his advice. Did he want us to invest? Did he want us to earn only what we need? I don't know. Do you?

Booghie, Bhainsa aur Boomba

Bansilaal bade thakke hue thhe.
Soche bheeru ke adde mein thoda thharra maar len.
Maarne ke toh maar liya, ek seesa aur apni dhoti mein khos vo baahar nikle.
Baahar unki booghie khadi thi. Aur saath mein bhainsa.

Ab bansilaal apne bhainse se pyaar bada karte thhe. Bole le pee tu bhi.
Aur pilay diye poora seesa.

Boogie mein baithhe hanke ... hurrrrr ...chal re ...

Bhainsa chala mast.

Bajoo mein aaya boomba.

Aur bhainsa samet booghie samaay gayee boombha mein.

Toh ye hai kahaani Booghie, Bhainsa aur Boomba ki.

p.s. booghie == a bhains driven cart
p.a.s. boomba == an irrigation canal
