Neerja -Movie Review !! 


Neerja The movie based on true events that took place on 5th September 1986 where Pan Am flight 73 flight travelling to U.S.A had a layover at Karachi International Airport and was Hijacked by 4 terrorist,The hijackers demand was to free there nationalist who were Imprisoned in our country(India).Neerja Bhanot the Person in charge of the flight took the responsibility with her team to secure the safety of the passengers.But in the end after a day long negotiation Neerja Bhanot was brave enough to loose her life for the safety of others .The movie Directed by Ram Madhavi who has Co-Directed Taare Zameen Par. The movie wasn’t gripping enough some loose ends the build up for the tense moments weren’t there .

The actors Shabana Azmi played the role of the mother and Yogendra Tiku played the father of Neerja.

They were well the saving grace of the film .Sonam Kapoor acted well in bits and pieces ,Specially the last 15 minutes .

The movie could have had a few minutes being sliced about 10-15 minutes could easily be edited out.

The 1st film by bling Unplugged was a great story to be captured for the celluloid especially for the millennial to know about Neerja who saved 359 lives by having the presence of mind and being Brave.

My View ,Go for the movie if you don’t know who Neerja Bhanot was ?

Storytelling Vs telling a lie.

 The other day, I was going through an interview when this thought struck me ,are Lies & Storytelling the same ?We lie to hide the truth from others, we lie because we cannot admit the truth ,We lie because we fear speaking out the truth as it will leave us alone,we might be hurting somebody if we speak up the truth .Ok that’s lying then what’s storytelling ? Storytelling is the power of telling stories that must have happened ,A piece of News that you have heard and you narrate it in a little dramatic way to get the attention of the listener .But Now if you actually see there is a thin line of a difference amongst the two in both forms we Lie to defend ourself even though we know we are wrong,guilty of taking the wrong side ,but again it might seem wrong to you ,but it might be the right thing for the speaker .At the same time stories we tell to entertain ,to make our imaginations run wild to impress how good we are at speaking ,Stories transform us to a magical place to a make believe world for us it might be dreaming while others laugh and say he is living with such a big lie.But for us its a fantasy a world that we create for ourself to be happy and defining the reality in others terms the truth that we know ,,but imagination is a lie for others ,but we are living by being hopeful for things to turnaround .

Quiet !!!

Quiet-The power of the introverts In a world that can’t stop talking by Susan Cain .
A well researched ,stimulating book on the minds of introverts and extroverts and the thin line that separates the two .Examples of some well known personalities to Relate with and identifying oneself ,1st person narration makes the book even more interesting .

Susan Cain the author and the force behind the Quiet  revolution was 1st introduced to me by her Tedtalk by the same topic power of introverts a few years ago ,but today the book has helped me to understand the power of silence ,this is one book you must read in 2016 and it would change the way you see things .
