delhi-6

I just watched Delhi-6. I went in with no expectations and came out, satisfied. It was a good movie. I loved Abhishek Bachchan's role, he reminded me of my brother. The character Roshan is a lot like my brother. My brother has a strong sense of self. From this he is able to reach out and accept everyone and everything, perfect or imperfect.

Dear old me on the other hand, don't have as strong a sense of self. From a young age I have had an incredibly co-dependent relationship with my mother. As such separating myself from her identity and finding myself has been hard. In the process, I repel a lot of my mother identity.
I have a harder time accepting everyone and everything as a result.

But the good news is that I still love my mother. By purging myself of my mother's identity and finding and identifying my own is helping me. Eventually, when I have a stronger sense of self I will be able to accept, embrace and live with the parts of me that came from my mother.

If you are a little confused reader, I can empathize. I am a little confused myself. But each day of active searching for my voice, my identity, helps me get clarity. I am sure that I will grow and mature into the person I was always meant to be.

For now I keep trying.

Sorry for digressing from Delhi-6. I liked it. Although since I just literally watched it minutes ago, much has yet to sink in. I am sure that I can better appreciate or not appreciate it at a later time.

I just want to say that the soundtrack sounds really good. I like the overall message. I loved the Ram-Leela play within the movie. That was a truly exceptional production.

The snapshots of Delhi within the movie were mind blowing.

I especially love this line from the movie: Only dogs eat to survive; humans eat to bond." I totally agree with this 120%.

I also like the line Rishi Kapoor's character, Ali delivers:"We don't have bread; so we make do with love. We have small houses; so we boast of a big heart." That line made me understand India in depths that I could never understand before.

So as you can tell, I did like the movie.
