Movies that teach you about the life

If we look around, we will find that very few people live their life to the fullest. Most of us are so entangled in the intricacies of life that we forget to enjoy the limited time we are granted in this birth. Here I am going to mention some of the movies which you must see to actually know life's worth....

1) Its a Wonderful life: Starring James Stewart and Donna Reed, this beautiful movie conveys the eternal truth of being happy in life despite of the unfavorable circumstances. Named as George Balley in the movie, James is a very generous man whose good deeds precedes his reputation in his town. But, on a Christmas eve he looses some money and becomes very depressed and wants to put an end to his life. He is stopped by his guardian angel and the angel makes him realise his importance in this world. This stops him from doing a great mistake and he returns to his normal life. In the course of the movie, a person can feel that even if we have to suffer a lot of pain in life, it might of useful for us to go on living like that for a greater good.

2)The life is beautiful: Starring Roberto benigni, this movie is one of the most elegant love stories ever written. The movie revolves around the struggle of a jewish man, who is living a happy married life until his family was sent to the jewish concentration camp. The efforts of Roberto in this movie to save his son from the cruelities of the concentration camp are laudable. He makes his son believe that all this is a game, so that his son is not afraid of the gruelsome situation. The emotional standards set by this film are very high and I can bet that any person who sees this movie can't stop loving it and will be touched by its passionate portrayal of fatherly love.

3)Kal Ho Naa ho: Starring Shahrukh khan, Saif and Preity, this movie persuades a person to live his life to the fullest despite the opposing circumstances and problems of life. Sharukh plays a person suffering from terminal cancer but still, he tries to bring happiness into lives of others and spread smiles all around him. He ends up improving life of many people around him. The most important lesson we can learn from this movie is that life is full of ups and downs, but the right way to live it is to enjoy each and every moment granted to us. Its a very heart touching movie and a must for Hindi movie lovers.

Who is John Galt?

As the topic itself suggests, I am devoting this blog to the Novel "Atlas Shrugged" by an all time favorite author Ayn Rand. I have just started to read the novel (completed 1/4th) and I can feel the intensity and passion with which this novel was written. Not to forget that the same author has written "Fountainhead" also. All the characters in the novel have their own panache but they share the same irk of being ambitious. The stolidness of some of the characters like Dagny, Francisco and Rearden leaves me terrified. The portrayal of these people in the novel is so ruthless that it hardly seems real but the author does a great job by blending these characters with the real world in a stunning manner. A few instances in the novel says everything about the characters in the novel. Like, when Dagny Taggart goes ahead with the construction of the 'John Galt Line' using Rearden Metal despite the extreme opposition by the whole nation, it really sets her image as an extremely optimistic, confident and determined person who cannot be broken down with petty criticisms. The portrayal of Francisco carries a flavor of suspicion as his decisions to operate the business are not clearly explained till now. But, one thing is clear that he is the most carefree person in the novel who doesn't care about anything in this world.
The narration of the story is so spellbounding that even after reading 1/4th of the book, it seems as if I have just started and the story is yet to begin. I hope my journey through this book remain as exciting as it is now till I complete it but one thing I desperately want to know is "Who is John Galt"?
