An Iranian Separation

Or is it ? Being single and being a person who lives life by experience more than theory, I can't vouch for the movie totally. But I still believe that most married couples face certain strain after having been in marriage for more than five years. It probably arises from the fact that they grow used to each other and start taking each other for granted.

The protagonist’s wife even though was petrified of the arising perils in the Iranian subcontinent, knew that she wouldn't leave without her family. She kept coming around expecting to be asked to stay back. She wanted to be valued and recognized for her contribution in the household. But as fate would have it, the husband's ego knew no bounds even if it costed him the company of his beloved daughter, not that his affection for his wife was amiss. These misunderstandings only grow and grow if one wouldn't express their emotions. Love can heal and ward of all troubles.The daughter too was trying to get her parents back together, so that they could have a normal life together again.

Housemaid who came to work at the protagonist house was a typical example of a devout women who wants to help her husband in times of crisis but is bound by religion and is afraid to ask his consent for the same. The society has to come over these differences between men and women. It’s a matter of fact that one is born a man or women, how does that give anyone the right to be the head of house, right to assume tasks of maintaining the house and rights to keep a higher unrelenting ego.

In the due course while watching the movie, one does feel its such a mundane topic of conflict to end a happy 14 year long marriage.

A thought provoking movie!

Hick – unj!

Grilling, drilling, tiring, pricking and infuriating two weeks of brain-squashing at Design Concepts and Concerns, seemingly left our minds disillusioned into amorphous-amoebic-jellied form. 

Confession – We were mind warped.

Anticipating another adventurous Monday morning, we haplessly strained ourselves into the class, waiting for the next expedition. Never seen before, elderly faces drew closer towards our gang of 90 and brought in an adrenaline rush! Welcoming they all seemed, interested in knowing us and the most inspiring phrase as quoted by one of them, “We are here to learn from each other and explore what form can do to us.” We pay our sincere regards and due respect to the people who hold such grand thoughts. Forms became special. We decided to give in some sincere efforts. It explored philosophy at many levels; we endured, hence sustained and thus evolved.

What are forms? The first question left us all pondering…what the hell….anything that occupies space probably…shapes...and then the difference…. Oh it got us all jumbled up… So much about the course…

Another sweet interlude amongst all this confusion and arbitrariness was one amongst them. He carried such a meek disposition about him, a coy persona, a welcoming face with an innocent walk, naivety when he went about talking with us PG students. My guess, the charm lied in the fact that being a teacher, he was learning along with us. Khopcha enlightened us further on his interesting views on movies and his whole new found passion for teaching.

Well, we thought, we were the only ones to have noticed him rather gazed.  Tete-a-tete, gossip session over chai parties unveiled the real instinct of a true girl community. We figured that all girls were gaping at the same man, as if it were the birth of Adam on a barren earth. Clearly case of a polygamy, girls accepting each other and drooling at the same man. This is the true NID spirit deep engraved within us! We share things full heartedly. Nothing is more precious to us than ourselves and our most prestigious bond. Yo GN ! :D

Yet another attempted blog entry by yet another set of people who believe that they have the charm in them to please and entertain the mere mortals of NID!

A eureka moment strikes in the awesome minds of the coveted Alpana, residents@ 5:30 p.m on a to-be-memorable day, 30^th August 2011 ! We did the daily quest grind and all that jazz for quite a long time until it finally dawned upon us that we were burnt out by the foundation programme. All this while we've been through all kinds of dispositions - J, L, :X, K :D ,etc and  all these moods bring along many hopeful commitments and on one such exasperated evening, this iconic idea enlightened in our minds.

Yours Jokingly is about rendering our PG lives with splashes and sprinkles of vivid and lively moments. It’s about the fun, the jibe and the color it brings to the boring and irritating times.

Soon to come :) Watchout !!
