Lesson in human nature

By -
So, I met a Pakistani traveller today who has been on India Darshan for 3 months now. He gave me a perfect lesson on human nature today. It goes like:
He said, when I was coming to India people warned me about Indians who have a false sense of pride due to their charming Prime Minister, they might insult you..maybe even hurt you. He crossed the border at Punjab and people told him brother...Pakistan is good...Punjabis here and Punjabis there but the Jat from Haryana..beware. Someone might kill you. He took a ride in a truck while travelling in Haryana and the driver told him, ah brother... Haryana is part Punjab, we are all brothers but the Rajasthanis.. Beware. He was riding a camel in Rajasthan when the owner said...ah brother we are all North West Indian brothers but the Gujrati people are all money minded...the Gujratis warned him about Marathi manoos, the marathis about mixed racial Madhya Pradesh people, the Madhya Pradesh people about the Chattisgarhis, Chattisgarhis about tribals in Jharkhand and the Jharkhandis about proud Odias. But nobody in Odisha warned him about anyone. As if it was the final frontier or something. Beats me.

Rebecca - Book Review

By Unknown -
A lady, a man, another lady's shadow; a scene, a house, a concealed history. These six components have educated the gothic drive from Udolpho and Jane Eyre to The Thirteenth Story. Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca is essential to the class, for in it du Maurier disentangled and composed these six components, refining the account, thinking the mythic, and improving the equivocalness of her story. What du Maurier comprehended is that the heart of the sentimental gothic is the battle between two ladies, one who is recently waking up and one not substance to remain a phantom. The man might be their clashing objective, the house and scene their field, yet it is the fight between these two ladies, forever and power and self-rule, that is the pith of the story. In Rebecca, the man is the spooky, ill humored Adage de Winter who has hitched a never-named young lady - an innocent paid friend - whom he has met amid a current remain in Monte Carlo. The two come back to Proverb's geneal...

Movie Review - Rebecca (1940)

Ok, to see another extraordinary motion picture from those couple of years when Hollywood crested, when that mix of workmanship, freshness, and sheer community oriented ability consolidated again and again. I'm talking from Gone with the Wind to Casablanca, 1939 to 1942. Toss in any number of really amazing motion pictures in the extend - Citizen Kane first off - and we need to nearly anticipate that Alfred Hitchcock will fit ideal in. With Rebecca he does. It's another flawless film.  Daphne Du Maurier's book of a similar title is an awesome perused, something shy of an artistic great however an option that is superior to a negligible smash hit. I read it as of late, and was totally transported into a place that is known for unpretentious show. That sounds like a confusing expression, yet when you see this motion picture you'll see how individuals act with limitation, with looks, with calm activities, but accomplish a vainglorious, sensational impact that detaches you...

Random midnight realization(?). Dunno.

By Unknown -
Tbh. Today I didn't study. Or maybe, some study that was round about naught.  This for complete lack of trying. Honestly.  Now, on most occasions, these past few years, I would have felt guilty and would have rotted inside. To a point of depression.  But curiously, today I didn't. Why you ask? I had my wits about. Therefore.  Point is, us, humans can do anything I think. No goal is too big. Far but not unreachable. All you need is a map and perseverance. Let the two be your guide. You'll reach your destiny. With pleasure.  I am trying to command my mind these days.  For it is a beautiful servant but a terrible master.  And do you know something? For as long as I have my calm, I don't care if I really reach my destiny. I want to face every eventuality being what I believe I am.  <<Some brilliant random thought I forgot>> I don't care for what I don't yet have, but definitely for those attributes that define me and I have  n...
