Dead Poet's Society

Image
 "No matter what people tell you, words and ideas can change the world - Dead Poet's Society" The movie, " Dead Poet's Society " got released in 1989 . I watched it in 2017 . The first time I watched it I wailed pitifully. Huh! I'm narrating it in past tense.. I mean, I still watch this movie and wail pitifully.  The story goes like.. A new English teacher, John Keating ( Robin Williams ), is introduced to an all-boys preparatory school that is known for its ancient traditions and high standards. He uses unorthodox methods to reach out to his students, who face enormous pressures from their parents and the school. With Keating's help, students Neil Perry ( Robert Sean Leonard ), Todd Anderson ( Ethan Hawke ) and others learn to break out of their shells, pursue their dreams and seize the day. This was the summary given to me, when one of my seniors suggested me to watch this movie. Even the google metioned that this movie belonged to the Comedy/Drama

Better to die than live!

 "Life is very short bro, we live everyday, so just leave everything and die one day. - Me" People are poison. People are the cruelest things in the entire world. People are... Ewwwwwww. Don't be afraid of losing people. Be afraid of loosing yourself by trying to please everyone. ( Source, Coco ) The " they " people, made me lose myself. " They " made me hesitate to carry my cricket kit. " They " made me re-think about the thing I loved my entire life. When you lose in a relationship, you lose someone else. But when you lose in sports, you lose yourself. " THEY " MADE ME LOSE MYSELF  Not a revenge story, but a journey to make the cruel regret it's actions. I do not know what to do right now, but I know that I want to make them regret for their scandalous actions. Villains aren't born, they are made. I just want to look at their faces, stare dead into their eyes and say, " I don't mind being the villain in your stor

Anger!

"My heart's already broken baby go on twist the knife- One Direction" I am getting lost infront of my eyes. I am failing infront of me. I am loosing the kid inside me. That 13 year old girl who thought that she would become a big icon in cricket is dead. She died yesterday, infront of my own naked eyes. Seeing your younger self die, is the most tragical feeling to ever experience.  Like the ignored constellation, they turned a blind eye on me. I heard the sound of my heart tearing apart. I asked for water, but they burned me with fire. I asked for a light but they shattered me into darkness.  They demolished my dreams that I can't even imagine a life with it. They made me chase the worldly things, they made me live according to their will. They took my life from me.  THEY TOOK MY LIFE FROM ME Who are they ? " They " are the " they " whom I mentioned yesterday.  We need someone like JD (Actor vijay's character in the movie " Master

All lies?

 "Depression isn't always at 3 am, sometimes it hits you at 3 pm when you're with friends and you're halfway through a laugh and suddenly stop."  They lied to me folks. They lied about the entire situation. I can see you think who that " they " are. " They " are the people who guaranteed me a good life in the place I stay right now. Not gonna lie mate, " they " made me trust them I TRUSTED THEM They broke my trust.  My trust issue is higher than the Mount Everest. Whenever I think of trusting people. These " they " people would definitely give me a warning in my mind to never trust anyone again.  There's a poem named "Suicide in the Trenches" by the poet Siegfried Sassoon. The poem begins with the poet describing a young man's suicide. You know your life is not going on the right track when you relate to that young guy. If you listen to Tamil songs, then you would definitely know the song " Endhan kan

Things I learnt from Harry Potter (6)

 "I like a quiet life, you know me. - Harry Potter" After a long gap, I watched Happy Potter and the Half blood Prince. After watching the previous part of the series, I was traumatized after sirius' death. As you know that the series gets darker and darker ( it's not only the title card) I fear watching the rest, since the place I am staying right now will not heal the pain caused by the movie. You might think why I get syrupy for a fake and an imaginary story. As you know that I am a Cinephile, I relate to the movies. I get lost in the creation and live according to that movie's director's wish. That's how mad I am for Cinema.  But this part, it felt good. Eventhough there were losses and Harry suffered the most, him knowing the secrets of Professor Severes Snape (One of the heroes of Harry Potter known to be a villain) was entrancing. Eventually, Harry gets the idea of how good of a person Snape is. It was gratifying. Apart from that, Harry stumbles upo

 "Guess who's back, back again." When I was in grade 6. I played my first cricket tournament. It was a noteworthy day to me. My first ever game in cricket. It augmented my confidence. It felt like I am winning in life. It was a T20 series against a district ( Kandy - my team vs Colombo)  I was playing 1 down ( As the 3rd batsman, oh!.. Woman). I was cool headed. I felt stupendous.  ** I heard my heartbeat, it was out of fear and excitement. I breathed aloud. I wore my gloves, carried my bat like a sword. I literally felt like a soldier. I entered the ground. Watched the sky for God's blessings.** Entered the pitch, a young kid, thinking she will score a century. The first ball, was a miss. I convinced myself. Did a short ted talk and was ready to face the next ball. Andddddd. That's it. In a second, I found myself walking back to the dressing room. Yes! Yes! Of course, Yes! I Got Out. I thought the ball went further from the wicketkeeper and began to take a run. B

 "But I love you so (please let me go)  I love you so (please let me go)"  When I thought that no love song could ever thwack me, then released a Tamil song . One of my friends back in Sri Lanka faced a breakup and he was addicted to a song. I went to him, tapped on his shoulder. When he turned around, I saw into his eyes. It was as red as an evening sky. His eye bags were big enough to carry my Cricket kit 🙃. I asked him about the breakup. The first few words he enunciated were, " It is literally like the song Kanawe Kanawe ". " Kanawe Kanawe ". It's a breakup song from the movie David . I have never been in Love when I first listened to this song. I felt the pain of the actor. I felt the pain of a failed love eventhough I have never been through that phase.  That's what fellows is called as " Music ". Even if you have never been in that situation, music can make you feel it.  One fine day, uhm! Okay, okay, I caught your mindset. ( Man,
