It is really true, what they say about our ability to achieve whatever we want to. Paulo Coelho has been reminding us of the power of dreams for 27 years. It is just a matter of finding your anchor, be it spirituality, charity, literature or whatever it is that gets you through the worst of days. Yes, any good day can topple in a second, but, if you look close enough, there will always be some bright spot. Like many other things in life, it is easier said than done, but make an effort to think positive. Shake off your conceits and ego, take a deep breath and think the day through. And when struggling, hold on to your inner strength. Experience it and you will find it is so much better than reading or hearing about similar experiences. Experience is the greatest teacher.So, stay strong.
Today, I got a chance to behold the changing art scene in my country, on attending a film festival of sorts.Filmmakers seem to be reacting to the noise on and off celluloid, through mostly silent creations.I list a few of my favourites here: A Beast Called Beauty - directed by Aakanksha Chitkara Maybe because I am a woman living at a time when India is renowned for objectification of and heinous crimes against women, this documentary film struck me the most and inspired this post.The film voices the common woes of our sex racked by the rigid concepts of beauty set by the society; a situation only worsened by the marketing techniques of fairness creams and other beauty products.However,the movie ends on a happy note, with the featured females professing to have realised that they have accepted who they are, and are content with themselves.I hope every girl out there does the same.
