Dhobighat : Glorifying psychological flunks of society under ‘City Heritage’ propaganda,using hotchpotch of abstract film making concepts.
I read in several interviews/articles about Dhobighat that this movie is about Mumbai.This is about Mumbai’s heritage.They were partially right. This movie was indeed about Mumbai who is suffering from psychosomatic issues & that’s it.Mental illness is not city specific and certainly it should not be considered as City Heritage.There are many movies showing weak side of society (with more intense show) but they don’t market movies as “Mumbai Heritage” & yeh..showing frequent frames of different areas of Mumbai was not expected, any amateur artist would do it. (PS: what I consider as psychosomatic issues, many might find normal..:) )
There was not only representation of anomalies of society(or of Mumbai) but also glorification of them by showing them as normal!
About film making – I noticed that director has good skill to observe & shoot emotions as is and I must appreciate efforts but then experimenting everything in 95 minutes? Felt hotchpotch.
Movie zealots should see it once.Mass should avoid it.
Fly

Flying has always been to me this wonderful metaphor. In order to fly you have to trust what you can’t see. Up on the mountain ridges where very few people have been I have thought back to what every flyer knows. That there is this special world in which we dwell that’s not marked by boundaries, it’s not a map. We’re not hedged about with walls and desks. So often in an office the very worst thing that can happen is you could drop your pencil. Out there’s a reminder that are a lot worse things, and a lot greater rewards.

Fly infinite.
May your Kite reaches that infinite.
Happy Kite Flying!

Nachiket
The character ‘Nachiket’ occurs in the Katha Upanishad.
‘Nachiket’ means the one who is beyond Happiness and Sorrow.
He was pure, fearless, and possessed indomitable courage.
He had no fear of death. He stands for forthrightness, courage, and dedication to truth, which should be the hallmark of any youth.
Happy Youth Day!
‘NOW’ is New Year

When we worry, we think of uncertainity of the future fueled by the negative thinking. This mindset also highlights our past failures. All we should focus on, is what we want to be in the future, what & where we want done by EOD, and align our minds to ask how to achieve that goal. Thats how winning is done, and we are winners! Never forget this fact!
What would you prefer? Being Prisoner of Past, Future Dweller or King of Now?
‘NOW’ is New Year.
Outsourcing
By nisarg, December 23, 2010 3:34 pm
Before advent of high-tech jobs, society had standard of living in united family structure (If not 100% then partially).So Parenting and Parent-care were distributed responsibilities among all family members.
Family fabric has changed lately. Family is now limited to husband, wife and a kid. And what you observe as side effect is, outsourcing of parenting and parent-care. Send parents to old age home and kids to day long care center.
Any change adapted by society leads to prolonged effects on individuals. You and I, in our life time, will surely witness effects of this change in society where parenting and parent-care are least important tasks of daily routine and are being outsourced.
Children are Tomorrow’s hope. Parents are Yesterday’s pride. For Nation sake, don’t outsource nurturing and caring responsibilities.
Your bank balance might fly for cloud 9 by endless churning of outsourced work but if parenting and parent’s care are outsourced and neglected, there is sure decline ahead.
Think about it.
