It's incredibly silly how people take "inspiration" from movies. Grow up people. Movies are movies. You should let them be that.

I can never imagine a Mukhesh Ambani seeing some movie & getting inspired to build his next refinery or take over some overseas giant.

It's only silly people who do that.

mr pavan..for ur understanding..movies like dil chahta hai does not "inspire" ppl but it makes ppl nostalgic...cos these movies r made from experiences which each person can relate to..maybe u cant cos u donr have many friends and nwither r u an ambani tat u can make such a comment...so dont belittle movies by saying such things..infact u should understand the talent and creativity that goes into making a movie before passing such stupid comments..

absolutely agree ............. but most of the India's crap gets inspired from the phalthu Indian (read as bollywood) movies.

Keep In Touch
by manohar on Jul 31, 2010 10:36 AM  | Hide replies

We all say this when we part "Keep in Touch" well how many of us really do it. Why is it so hard to keep in touch, 6 times a year like New Year, Birthday, any four festivals. Is it so difficult to keep in touch and let each other know that we remember you. I am going to keep in touch with a minimum of 6 people from my past, what about YOU. Who knows it may just change you and the world around you. Try IT ! Keep in Touch !!!!!!!!!!!!

I connect with what u say

Hi, lot of people seem to be angry or irritated with what you have written. When the whole world starts saying that you are wrong and u are a freak then u start doubting it urself.

So I am coming ahead and saying that this happens. Yes sometimes you out grow things and people. A certain emotion that exists between a group of friends, when it is lost, it is perhaps not possible to recreate.

When you watch this in a movie or read a book, it seems sad. But in real life it does not matter. Because by the time you lose a friendship, you don't really feel much about it anymore.

yes... even i find many frustrated souls. getting in touch with old mates and sharing the old memories is sweet. Dil chata hai is one good reality movie.

what a corny write-up
by secret secret on Jul 31, 2010 09:02 AM

totally lousy article that almost no one can connect with. makes it look like they broke up after a long relationship, or had a massive fight.

it's old friends, dude - when you run into each other after a long while, there are *no* awkward silences, it's a boisterous getting-together.

rediff has lesser and lesser stuff that people agree with or connect to these days. all they hope for is lots of comments on the forums, since people hate what they've read.

there are a many perceptions in your article and it has been written in a state of hallucination. the only friends who matter and cherish the most in ones life are the chaddi friends you have grown up with, please rememeber that....doesnt matter about what degree of specialization each one chose or what their mothertongue is..

Friends and wine are better when they age.

Common stages:

1. Superficial attraction - can be physical or mental/emotional a.k.a chemistry

2. Initial suspiscion - may be the friend acts smart. Much depends on our own perception

3. Reconciliation - Its OK, i accept for the friendship sake - I may have to do some small sacrifices. Seems like worth it.

4. Real Bonding - You feel your friend is an extension of you. Feeling of emotions are common between us and there is no pressure whatsoever - Do we spend time? Do we need to crave for each others company? This is the matured stage and this takes time.
