The song is about Radha and Krishna . In this song, Krishna has become an emperor, which is far removed from the simplicity of his earlier life that he spent in Gokul, where ,he was a cowherd with no material possessions besides a flute that he loved to play. Yet, he was happy and content. Today, as a king, Krishna has wealth, power, and every worldly pleasure a man can ask for, but he is not happy. In his heart, he yearns for the simple life in Gokul. Above everything, he cannot forget Radha, the love of his life. Radha loved Krishna unconditionally when he was another village boy. Today many attractive women desire Krishna the emperor, yet the purity of Radha's love is what his heart longs for. So, Krishna wishes to leave the capital of his kingdom Mathura to return to Gokul and meet Radha, one last time. To my mind, this song is from the viewpoint of Krishna, where he is examining his own inner state in a detached manner. A rough or nearby translation of the song . Prior to that...

Was listening to Rut Aa Gayi re randomly . Felt why is this not reviewed by me . Here goes my two cents and a half  Partition  is probably the most brutal massacre in human history with unaccounted figures of loss and trauma. Now, more than 85 years later, the scars still run deep. The present circumstances continue to serve as cruel reminders of the past. People still kill in the name of religion, nationalism and patriotism. Deepa Mehta's  1947: Earth  is another Partition saga. The second in her trilogy ( Fire, Earth, Water ) this film has, and will, run into controversy. It will surely be accused of being anti-Muslim, anti-Hindu and anti-Sikh, depending on one's political and religious allegiance. The film, in reality, is neither. Based on Bapsi Sidhwa's novel  Cracking India  (or  Ice Candy Man ), Mehta's film encompasses only half the novel. It leaves out the nerve-racking depictions of violence, rape and plunder, as described by Sidhwa. The novel...

In life, we all have to make decisions, whether they are right decisions or wrong decisions depends on the circumstances, time, place and even your frame of mind and emotion at that moment. However, there are many basic notions of what is right versus what is wrong. This basic understanding of what right and wrong is common across all cultures, race and religion. This enables us to understand each other’s action and reaction which in turn helps us co-exist with each other on a very basic level. When people commit a wrong thing that is clearly against the rules of a group or society they belong to, then there will be consequences of the law as defined by the group/society. But why do people make wrong decisions or for that matter, make the right decision?  “Right is right even if no one is doing it; wrong is wrong even if everyone is doing it.”  ―  Augustine of Hippo Some people would argue that religion has a significant part to play in where our moral sense comes from. ...

We live in a world that constantly tells us what to do, how to act, what to be. Knowing how to be true to yourself and live the life you want can be a challenge. When someone asks how we are, we assume that the person does not mean the question sincerely, for it would lead to an in depth conversation. So telling them that you are good or fine, even if you’re not, is the usual answer. In an ideal world, we would stop and truly listen. We wouldn’t be afraid to be ourselves. Instead, when we answer about how we are doing, our mask, the persona we show the world, tightens. Sometimes even more so than it might have been before. Eventually, it becomes hard to take off, even when you’re alone. Imagine a world where we asked how someone was doing and they really told us. Imagine a world where there were no masks, only transparency when we talked to one another. If you want to live in a world that celebrates who you are, mistakes and all, take off the mask. It doesn’t mean you have to be positi...
