"The forest of Enchantments"

Sita Ji's strength, a guiding light, in 'The Forest of Enchantments,' shining bright. Have you ever stopped and thought about our Holy book "The Ramayana"? It usually overlooks Sita Ji's feelings during her hardships, especially the loneliness she must have experienced in the forests after Ravan Ji kidnapped her. Why? Why don't we ever hear about the tribulations of the hardships that she encountered in those woods? Is it because she was a woman and her emotions were mere words to the world, or is it that she never had a chance to utter her sentiments afterwards, because everybody was busy debating her sanity?

In "The Forests of Enchantment," Sita Ji's voice is clearly visible and converts her from an ordinary victim to a stron...

"Dead poet's society"

Image
  "Dead Poets Society" being a college student makes you feel seen and feels different. It is more than a movie but rather a stomach punch of nostalgia and inspiration. The film takes place at Welton Academy, an all boys' boarding school, and covers more than just poetry; it's about the risk of living.  The catalyst of the film is the introduction of John Keating, an English teacher who doesn't just teach, but ignites. Played by the incomparable Robin Williams, Keating doesn't teach being "true to yourself," he model's "carpe diem" and shows the boys how to seize the day. Keating introduces the idea of the "Dead Poets Society," a secret club dedicated to poetry and following your passion. The genius of the film lies in its multiple layers of narrative. On one level it is about poetry and literature, on another level, there is a bigger message about finding oneself, having courage to break the mold, and how sad it is to be a co...
