Howz life!!

Yesterday I was in Pune with Sankalp Sir. I visited the FTII campus and fell in love with it.If you want to be a film maker that is the only right place and the wisdom tree is the place to have new ideas..This one day is surely gonna change my life.

After having a good time with Anusha over dinner, I came back to my hotel room and started talking to sankalp sir. He told me all about socialism, capitalism and communism. It covered almost all the domains of human life... He told me that there is so much poverty in Bangladesh that people are ready to work like animals for 24 hours continuously for a mere wage of Rs.20. This long eye-opener lecture continued for almost 4 hours covering all the aspects of human life - money, religion, entertainment, happiness etc. etc. In the end I asked a really dumb question - I don't think I can change the situation sir, can I? He just smiled and then said :

In my time no King lost his throne, no Kingdom was upturned, no noble men lost feathers but they all would have slept a little more comfortably if I wasn't alive.

and

The effects of a good work can not be stopped from spreading by anyone. - Gautam Buddha.

Hope and confidence is what I got in life in those 4 hours.... and anusha ask me once more howz life?this time the anser would be - wonderful...

Ahhh that line is from Brecht's poetry: "Tey would have been more at peace if i were not to be there."

We need more people who can fight the Brechtian way...
