Things he says...

Over the years, he has always told me things that no mater how much I reject always win me over to their side. Rules, advice or simple statements they hold true always.
For me these are the gospel truth I go back to each time I am in doubt. They are:

  • Never let someone else make their convenience your inconvenience.
  • Familiarity breeds contempt.
  • Take no one for granted - not even me.
  • Nothing ever stays the same. Ceteris Paribus will never hold true.

Patriotism for me was best depicted when SRK (in Swades) looks out of his window seconds before he is to set foot in India. Nothing describes detachment better than the wheels of a plane seconds after take off. This was exactly the opposite - done brilliantly. Meanwhile, AR Rahman used only 5 notes of the shehnai for SRK & the audiences to feel homesick repeatedly in the film. Even those who were in India felt homesick/guilty. The first film in a long time that did not show patriotism in the light  of violence, hatred and turbulent times and still struck a chord with the audiences. Wonder where the wiser filmmakers are hiding now or are the scripts. PS: This was also a rare time when an SRK films made sense to me. (I know this comment will draw flack for me)
