Dear Readers,
After trying my hands at writing in different topics like understanding life, humor, emotion, sociology, i thought to be a bit different this time. I am sure as many of us love hindi movies so i thought of writing a blog by taking a particular scene from a movie and then elaborating on what it conveys in real life. With this intention i have written this blog. Though i love many movies and many scenes but here i have contained myself to just best 9 scenes or 9 movies!! These scenes are from varied fields – inspiration, emotional, simple yet touching, etc.
Initially, i wrote the post in a tabular format but it did not seem possible to present in tabular format, so have written in points manner (Attached is the post in tabular format!!)
1) Movie – Chak De, Scene – The scene where Sharukh Khan as a coach offers to resign in an emotional way. Learning in Real Life – This shows that one of the important components of leadership is emotional leadership. Though Khan, as a coach, could have left but he believed in his ability, his team’s ability and thus he offered to resign as a true leader – making everyone in the team to think that is there any way to stop him.
2) Movie – Bluff Master , Scene – The scene where doctor Boman Irani tells Abhishek Bachhan that he is suffering from cancer and will die in 30 days. Learning in Real Life – Then Boman goes on to draw the analogy that how many days Abhishek remembers from his birth and Abhishek was able to recall only 3 such incidents. This simply meant that Abhishek lived only 3 days worth living to remember and unfortunately same is true for our lives. I would now request my reader to remember from birth but can we recall 5 good days and 5 bad day’s worth to remember in the year 2008. I was not able to do it the first shot. If any one of you are able to do that – do let me know.
3) Movie – Sadma, Scene – The ending scene where Kamal Hassan enacts many character to make Sridevi recall of the past but all his efforts goes into vain. Learning in Real Life –Kamal loved Sridevi from the bottom of his heart, even when she had lost his memory. In this scene he was trying his best to make sure that somehow Sridevi recognizes him but all his attempt fails. Sometimes, same things happen in our life. We love someone but they just walks away from our life – leaving where we were. Though it might be an unintentional act of someone to leave us but it becomes very disheartening for us to handle – very well depicted by Hassan.
4) Movie – Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, Scene – The scene where all friends meet after dejected from all music clubs and Suchitra empathizes with Deepak Tijori by lovingly stroking Deepak’s hairs. Learning in Real Life – When Shararuk tries the same thing, i.e. showing his dejection but Suchitra does not even notice him. Though this might be a small scene but it conveys one thing – the solution which was successful for one person might not work for other person. We tend to overlook this point but this is so important especially in management that even Peter Drucker has written about it in HBR (Harvard Business Review). One other learning is that always treat each member of your team fairly. In the movie his friends did not even took his advice for the song to be played in club but it was his last minute song that got all his team member appreciation from all ‘gangster’. This was because his other team members did not prepared as per the profile of the audience!!
5) Movie – Yes Boss , Scene – The scene where Sharukh has to choose between his dream of new office and his love Juhi Chawla. Learning in Real Life – In life we at times also have to make tough choices like this. But sooner we realize that it is better to follow our heart rather than our mind in these cases, we would not have to repent on the time we have wasted. Though, its sound very easy to write this but we should be ready to give something to get happiness!!
6) Movie – Mr. and Mrs. Iyer, Scene – The scene where Konkana Sen, during her stay in the cottage, first doubts Rahul Bose but is then really worried when she did not find him around. Learning in Real Life – The simple lesson in life can be – if we are trusting someone in the beginning, then the best way to get their trust is to trust them on continuous basis. Any act of mistrust, in any relationship at any stage, might take the charm or feeling out of relationship and then relationship is like body without soul!!
7) Movie – Izzazat, Scene – The scene where Rekha reads the letter sent by Maya (Anuradha Patel) after her marriage with Naseeruddin Shah. Learning in Real Life – Rekha says just one thing – why we have sent things of Maya to her, let them would be here only as anyway Maya is with them always!! How true, sometimes how much we try to move away from someone or some memories but unfortunately they don’t leave us. More we try to forget them, more they occupy our minds. In such cases – just go with the flow – do not push things, let them happen as per wish of Almighty.
8 Movie – Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, Scene – The scenes where Naseeruddin Shah, standing at the road side, predicts of Juhi Chawla turning around and always its right. Learning in Real Life – There are a few people who can make the right predictions. Don’t judge anyone by the dress he/she wears or how much one earns but always respect the experience of master player – important lesson to succeed in life!!
9) Movie – Gunda, Scene – No scene but complete movie is awesome!! Learning in Real Life – How can anyone of the Bollywood descriptions ever be complete without mentioning Gunda – the movie with rating of 8.3/10 in IMDB (The Internet Movie Database). The movie was literally superflop when it was released but then as the time passed by, this movie acquired the status of cult (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunda_(film)). The learning in life is even if one’s hard work does not pays off initially, continue to have confidence on self. The day will definitely come when your hard work will become masterpiece for the decades to come!!
As usual….in last….any comments most welcome!! Thanks for your time to read this.
