A movie a day

A movie a day keeps mental infertility away.
Once again I have gotten into habit of watching a movie every night. So yesterday night I watched Parineeta-- an old overdue. Now the movie got me thinking on several direction, but due to time constraint I would just outline a few of them for my future reference.
Firstly, The storyline. Though I believe the treatment of the situation in the movie must be different from the novel, and I know nothing of the way the novel Parineeta has been written; but it still makes me think on relationship and write something on relationship.
Secondly, the kind and amount of reading that I have done in my life till now I can surely be labelled as an uneducated man, and it would be outrageous/illogical for me to make a statement I am going to make now . The thing is that I believe that Sharatchandra is among the finest writer ever born in all languages. That too on the basis of one novel - Shrikant- and two novella- I have forgotten the name but not the strory- I have read.
Now whenever I think of Shaatchandra, invariably I think of a comment of Sharatchandra on his most popular work, Devdas. Sharatchandra once said that he is ashamed that he has written Devdas. And this is a comment worth thinking over. Yes, I can think of the thought process that would have made him say something like this, and sometime I would like to say something on this.

Choice Of Title

The title of the blog is 'difficult to find' because I have gradually realized that it is really difficult to find a user name - title- in cyberspace. You may be a super creative creature, but this is a different ball game altogether. It will humble you. And, you will realize that no matter what, however weird, you will think, you will find somebody equally weird.As for me, I think this goes beyond my abilities, rather it goes beyond my patience level. So when I decided to create a blog, I paused, rather halted for about five minutes to think of a worthy, meaningful title. But after these many minutes of enervating mental gymnastic, I, without a single a try, gave up. I had to give up.

At least now I can boast that I don't fall in the category of people who dont learn from experience.
