‘A Little’ is the view of an analyst, ‘The Life’ is the view of an empathizer.
The book seems like a vendetta against the reader, that people just aren’t supposed to be happy.
This vendetta demands a new view on mental health, how do you help the person whose life is unfathomable, to whom living is an alien concept?
Half the world wakes up before the sun rises to watch The Oscars and it is almost every time; worth it. This year The Academy celebrated independent films, raw emotions of the gut-wrenching past and the brutality of everlasting domination all together, all of them were in it, to win it. The three major categories of The Best Picture, Best International Feature Film and Documentary Feature film were won by Anora, I’m Still here (Ainda Estou Aqui) and No Other Land, all of them brilliant films that did not fail with their stories.
“I started filming, when we started to end.” “I want you to know that I don’t think it’s right.”
It all makes sense, when for any kind of display of affection, Anora relies on Igor and she finally gets what she craves for, intimacy, love and family.
“You were born to make people happy Arthur.” Happy, he was called happy, in the voice of Penny, just recall the word—HAPPY. An entertainer, a comedian, a joker, someone who was thrilled by his job at a place called ‘ha-ha’s’? A person whose laughter, instead of being infectious, was a disorder, or maybe this thought of having a disorder was a disorder—this person—lived to be an entertainer? Dreamed of being a comedian? In lots of ways, he was. He always will be a comedian, a kind who laughed at slaughter, a kind who enjoyed lifelessness, a kind who joked about the laughter that was a chilling cry.
Finally, somebody asked the question that nobody asked, sichega kon? Hum jo murjhaye? Thamega kon? Hum jo gir jaye? And also answered, Sabar ki ungli thamle, and asked back the most important, tu tere raste, main mere raste, rona hai fir kyu? Chal haste haste, afterall, if you hate the process, what makes you think that you will love the outcome? Even Jeetu Bhaiyya states it, “Dikkat toh tab honi chahiye, jab tumne apna raasta khud na chuna ho.” Not everyone can love the same thing, not everyone can want the same life, so before you take a leap, how about we consider one last question—Do you have the Kota factor? Who has it?
