its a known fact that one is close to 6000 km away from home. the arrival here was with the knowledge that one is going to stay away from home for a certain duration.
with all this as a known, why is it that there is still this feeling of making this place like home? so as to avoid the level of distance that is actually physically there?
Why expect to be home when you are not home?
I always try to stick to
“i hate the feeling of being at home, when i am travelling or away from home”.
“yeh joh des hai” from swades becomes the anthem, all the words from the song seem to relate and feel more meaningful.
somehow married Indian men become so heavily dependent on their wife, that they forget how to live a basic life for survival. i think the survival instinct is lost or may be they have become slaves, even though considering that they might be treating their other half like one.
Ashutosh Gowariker could not have gotten ‘the village elders’ and mohan’s talk about the cultural differences more spot on, dialogues from the movie seem to be allusively used in many instances.
i was planning to title this as ‘home’ but somehow decided not to since i value the word, and did not want to waste the title for this.
the road to understanding that home is some distance away might be long, but its more about how fast you want to travel it and understand it that seems to be a bigger question.
