Ship of Theseus

2 pious simple stories, depicting the life, engaging, interesting, thought-provoking at the same time(haven't seen the 3rd story yet). Sounds not quite right? Welcome to the world of "Ship of theseus". No elaborate depictions, no over-bearing songs, nothing to hinder the central element of the story, life as it is, as it could be, projected on screen. I am amazed, sitting here, with all these deadlines on my head, all the numerous ideas I have for awesome amazing life, all the grudges I indulge in every now and then, insecurities eating me up at times, and phases that rather the life
itself makes no sense. Yet here it is, in my front- something which can justify and pacify, for once and for all,  the consistent struggle between ideals and reality, what happens and what could be.

I am in fixation, what to believe, what to leave out. Certainly its not a movie, you can take in- in one go. Will purchase a high quality Dvd and watch it many times for that. But here is just a first hand experience. The classical background music touch later does makes it too deep. Sounds, yes that's the beauty and ingenuity of this movie. If a movie can have a soul then it is in its sounds for this movie, the fight amongst people, splashes of waves of sea, turning of paper, drum beats, na-aham janami, chants, each stick on ground, buzzing of mosquitoes. Marvelous, I am already noticing the sound of key strikes and imagining in my head, the sounds I'll encounter while walking back to hostel.

The beauty of normal response, humble self, humor and sarcasm comes forth as most impactful part.
The guy in monk story who raises all kinds of doubts, which are so clearly illustrating our thoughts, and the responses of them, wow. The karma and consequences.  The search for meaning of existence, the purpose which we so find missing and want to decipher at various stages.  

The walk amidst the windmills with all people in white , felt like, it was walk to death, with windmills rotating. It felt like a never ending cycle, it was a wait to end, to die, and to come back maybe

. But no difference, none, whatsoever. What remains is the passage and what you could/choose to do while there. A deep long eternal sleep, is what we all await. Just when you thought how better can it get? This amazing sentence came- "We all agree with reason, now what is left is disposition". Wow. No words!!!
