Ruining 3 Idiots For You

-



I like Three Idiots. I have met so many people across the globe who have seen this movie and know India from the movie.
However, I don't think the logic in this movie is pretty solid to be taken as a serious life advice.

Consider this example -
Throughout the movie, this guy - Suhas ( played by Sanjay Lafont) has been mocked.



The reason Amir Khan's character Rancho gives to ridicule this guy is that “He chose to become an investment banker after studying engineering and MBA. So he wasted his education”

The same Rancho wholeheartedly supports Madhvan's character Farhan to pursue a career in photography when he is just shy of one year from becoming an engineer. His logic - He should follow his passion.

Why? If someone couldn't find his passion till he graduates and switches to become an investment banker instead of a techie that cannot be accepted as if he has to stick to his early life decision? Why he needs to be ridiculed and someone who chooses rather a risky profession such as wildlife photography, that is totally cool and needs to be applauded?

Since this movie is so influential regardless of what it is actually preaching, I would want anyone who refers to this movie for serious life tips to read this answer from prof. Richard Muller as well.

As it's been explained in some other answers in reference to Prof. Muller's thoughts. ( I think in one of Rohan Kamath's answer) While following a passion, you need to also consider what if you end up being the 1000th best or 100,000 the best in the field. Will you be earning as per expectations? Will you still be happy? Being a 100,000th good engineer is far far better financially than being the 10,000th best professional photographer or musician. Of course happiness part one needs to judge on their own. With this logic, I wouldn't completely disagree with Farhan's father's perspective in the movie.

This answer on Quora perfectly explains why Chatur actually had a point.

The second movie is Border. Again.. superb movie. There is no count how many times I have watched it. But this scene bugs me all the time-


Sunil Shetty's character Bhairosingh walks with a tank mine towards a tank and the tank commander orders to roll the tank back giving him perfect opportunity to put the mine under the tank and detonate. Now, why does the tank needed to move at all? The tank mine couldn't have exploded on its own without the tank's weight. I hope the enemy was not that stupid.

Bollywood movies have a tonne of illogical scenes but those movies anyways have low expectations. My pet peeve is when renowned movie creators do such things which could have been avoided easily.

मराठीसाठी  इथे क्लिक करा . This post is a reference to my review of Google Maps. I couldn't post it all there because of the size limit. I hope that this review helps people who want to take their loved ones to Dr. Kumbhar's clinic. Original post date - January 2018.  Original Post I took my grandmother ( 85 years old , Pune) to Dr. Pandurang Kumbhar's clinic for her paralysis treatment. My grandmother suffered a paralysis stroke on 20th Nov 2016. She just felt numbness in her right arm around dawn and waited for us to wake up. She told us that she is not able to move her right arm at all. Since she was able to speak normally, we thought it could be a temporary numbness. When even after 4 hours she was unable to move, we rushed to the hospital. Doctors started treatment and told us that it was a paralysis stroke and 90% of her right arm and 60-70% of her right leg was paralyzed. The doctor mentioned that the earlier patients get treatment in such a case, the b...

सर्वात आनंदी देश : फिनलंड.. पण खरचका?

इमेज
मी गेले काही महिने फिनलंड च्या हेलसिंकी या राजधानी शहरात आहे. गेल्या ७ वर्षांपासून फिनलंडला सर्वात आनंदी राष्ट्र म्हणून घोषित करतायेत त्यामुळे इथे येण्यापूर्वीच उत्सुकता होती. भारताचा नंबर एवढा मागे का हे मलादेखील कोडेच आहे. मागे मागे तर मागे, रशिया, पॅलेस्टाईन, युक्रेन या युद्धाने गांजलेल्या देशांपेक्षा किमान या वर्षी तरी भारताचा वरचा नंबर असावा अशी अपेक्षा होती. त्यामुळे या Happiness Index भानगडीवर किती भरोसा ठेवायचा हे समजून जाते. पहिले तर आनंद म्हणजे काय याची व्याख्या बघायला हवी. कारण जे हा आनंद निर्देशांक बनवतात, ते स्वतःच्या व्याख्येनुसार सर्वेक्षण करत असतील, तर बऱ्याच गोष्टी इकडे तिकडे होऊ शकतात. मागे इंग्रजी कोरावरच एका आफ्रिकन नागरिकाचे उत्तर वाचण्यात आले होते. जगातल्या गरीब राष्ट्रांमध्ये त्याच्या देशाचा वरचा नंबर होता. पण त्याचे म्हणणे असे होते कि त्याने त्याच्या आजोबांना एवढ्या गरीब राष्ट्रामध्ये राहून देखील कधी दुःखी पाहिले नाही. त्यांनी कधी कर्ज घेतले नाही, कधी फार आजारी पडले नाहीत, स्वतःच्या शेतात पिकेल ते खाऊन अगदी ठणठणीत आयुष्य जगले. त्यांच्यासारखे असे बरेच जण त्याच्या...

आजी आणि नागरमुन्नोळीचे पांडुरंग कुंभार क्लीनिक

इमेज
मूळलेख ( माझा मूळ इंग्रजी लेख ब्लॉग वर प्रकाशित केल्याचा दिनांक - जानेवारी २०१८) मी माझ्या आजीला (वय 85 वर्षे, पुणे) डॉ. पांडुरंग कुंभार यांच्या दवाखान्यात तिच्या अर्धांगवायूच्या उपचारासाठी घेऊन गेलो होतो. माझ्या आजीला 20 नोव्हेंबर 2016 रोजी अर्धांगवायूचा झटका आला. पहाटेच्या सुमारास तिला उजव्या हातामध्ये सुन्नपणा जाणवला आणि ती आमची उठण्याची वाट पाहत होती. तिने आम्हाला सांगितले की तिला तिचा उजवा हात अजिबात हलवता येत नाही. ती व्यवस्थित बोलू शकत होती. आम्हाला वाटले की थंडीमुळे ते तात्पुरते सुन्न झाले असेल. 4 तासांनंतरही ती हलू शकली नाही तेव्हा आम्ही तातडीने हॉस्पिटलमध्ये पोहोचलो. डॉक्टरांनी उपचार सुरू केले आणि आम्हाला सांगितले की हा अर्धांगवायूचा झटका होता आणि तिच्या उजव्या हाताचा 90% आणि उजव्या पायाचा 60-70% भाग अर्धांगवायूमुळे निश्चल झाला होता. डॉक्टरांनी नमूद केले की अशा परिस्थितीत लवकरात लवकर उपचार चालू केले तर बरे होण्याची शक्यता जास्त असते. तिला पुढील 1 आठवडा दवाखान्यात औषधे, इंजेक्शन्स आणि फिजिओथेरपी दिली गेली. तिची प्रकृती स्थिर होती पण आम्हाला काहीच सुधारणा दिसत नाही. सर्व प्रिस...
