I have always believed that everything is flowing. When I look back , our perspectives seem to have come a long way.
Sometimes, nostalgia takes me
back to old movies because I just love the songs. And I was such a movie buff
in my school days that I would see every movie running in theatres with silver
jubilees and golden jubilees and a few, many times.
The stars of yesteryears were
not only on the screen but in our eyes as well. And we thought those were
carefree, magical days of innocence and fun.
When I see the same movies
again, the impact is not the same. Sometimes, I wonder what I liked about a few
of them. You obviously grow out of some things in life. But they still blend
with our impressions created at the time and the memories we have of the
feelings we had then. That quality of feeling does not return often. But what
is important is living in the present moment completely, and this we did very
well back then.
What is sad is that those days
of simplicity of thinking and living have gone. And what they are replaced with
is complex minds, insatiable desires and a general lack of consideration for
each other. People now enjoy crime and fear in movies, calling them realistic.
Where are the pure love stories and relationship stories?
