I always used to think that these great actors are completely depended on the public for their future.. They are not the types who work every minute for themselves.. Has anyone thought that if we don’t go buy movie tickets of some movie that’s newly released, the actors involved may end up loosing two years of their lives for I would say nothing but criticism?????
But then realisation has crept into me that these actors don’t only sell themselves on the screen but also sell dreams!! How slowly and smartly they touch our lives.. (but this applies to only people who are emotional fools) …. The concepts like that of Valentines Day, gifts, cards , love , relationship crap, etc has come into our lives from nowhere except the television..
Sometimes I start to think was my folks wrong to let me watch the television and never told me about the heard facts of life.. things like- the beautiful actress on the screen is probably there because she s thrown herself for the pleasures of the producers behind the camera!!
How the hearts ache when one grows up to find out that not the real love stories are the same as on the TV…. In fact they actually never exist.
I don’t know if I should tell kids from the very first time they are exposed to television–
look son, life s not anything like that. When u get married u have to think about whats next. There s nothing like love in those kinda relationships. It all gets over within a few weeks time and you ll start feeling like you ve beed married for about 50 years.!!!!!!
I think television channels should be on a individual charge basis.. that’s when parents will get conscious about what the child should see and learn and believe in. Probably then young girls will stop believing in the statements like “GOD S STILL BUSY MAKING THE MOST ROMANTIC LOVE STORY FOR ME!!”. They ll then know its just like waiting for Santa to come on the Christmas Eve carrying a bag full of happiness in the form of gifts!!!!!!!!!!!
CONDITIONS APPLIED!!!! LOL
Such ideas are sold by the television which has made our world look so small!!

TEARS !!
A sign of weakness!That’s what most people think and believe. I believe in that phrase.
We often tell young boys not to cry like girls as boys are supposed to be stronger!! And at the same time one would find elders telling the grown up ladies that tolerance is something that women are blessed with which is why they are gifted with the quality of giving birth. In other words one can say that somewhere women are stronger than men (emotionally)!!
Why does a person shed tears? When something hurts a lot or when a person feels insulted or when people around them are hurt or when someone goes bankrupt etc etc.
The point is what happens before and after the tears drops? How is it emotionally connected?
My one liner when I am about to cry is “ I cant take it anymore!!” that’s what I feel or go through just before I am about to cry. And I just don’t feel it as it is , I feel it very strongly. It makes me break down like a beggar or a pitiful dependent person.
What happens before the tears are about to fall is mostly a feeling which can be said as “I feel lost”. How easy is it to make an independent person feel lost? What is independence in the first place?
The fact is that we live in a society and are always sensitive to what others feel or talk or thinks of you. No one can escape that trap. After all we are all humans. It hurts the call upon someone who does not want to talk to you, it hurts when someone passes away; it hurts when you are broke ; it hurts when u cut yourself…. The point is “it hurts”. That’s when the tears starts playing its role. How difficult is it to understand that all one runs after is happiness or satisfaction; like that in the novel – The Alchemist. Less that we know that what we look for is right there just under your nose.
We have many Hindi phrases to put all of it in few words but I am just going to move on.
My opinion about tears is weakness. But of late I have realised that tears can actually make you stronger. There are two sides to it:
First: when you have cried enough tears on something you know how badly you want it; It sometimes makes you all the more determined to achieve that something which really matters to you. After all you have cried tears on it. It should be worth that stress.
Secondly: when you have cried enough tears on something, you may stop valuing it. It stops bothering you after a while as they say “its out of your system”. Even that helps as u no longer crib or is waiting for it. You understand and relate that thing with pain.
In both the cases things stop affecting you just cause you have lost a few of the precious tears.
I am not saying that one has a option of crying every time it pains. But that the concept of taking everything into you and just waiting till you burst may not be fully correct. Its true that when u cry you cry alone…. But who decides when you should have the luxury to shed tears and let go of your pains?
