INCEPTION




Dreams are harmless.
Dreams are personal.
Dreams are portraits carved out of your subconscious which is solely your dominion.
What if none of this is true?
What if...your reality is nothing but a false perception?


That  is INCEPTION.


A platform where your mind becomes the scene of crime, when you begin to live in your dreams and your reality betrays you, when your cognitive ability is controlled by a stranger and your subconscious is intruded, that is what marks the beginning of a revolution, and in the most complicated and extraordinary way. That is what paves the road to Inception.

It could be none other than Christopher Nolan to visualize an idea so complex and creative. He is at his best again, this time making an ineffaceable impact with one of the most successful films in the history of cinema. His movies have been my personal favorites, The Prestige and The Dark Knight being a few to mention, and this time, I am totally mesmerized.

It takes you a while to understand the idea. I myself watched it twice to get hold of it. But when I did, I could not imagine how perfectly could one present such a concept, which is so difficult even to think of. Inception carries you into a world where people indulge in activities at the subconscious level. They think, they act, they live, they die in their dreams, and not just their own, but share, create and project in others' dreams as well. It is a risky business, as you may be lost in such a state for an indefinite amount of time, referred to as limbo, and fail to return to reality.

It is a representation of some brilliant and extraordinary creativity, enormous effort, flawless staging of thoughts and strong determination. The result is a true masterpiece.

A Tear

It hasn't rained since long
There are so many clouds
Dark murky and collected
But still the weather is quiet.
I thought this all along
as my steps kept me moving
To an undecided destination.

My foot was bare, no covers
Lost all of them on the way
But the stones below did not hurt
I was accustomed, perhaps
to some sort of pain
which my body had since long
fought against and endured.

There was so much life all around
But everything was quiet
All the birds, leaves, even waters
And the wind never sung.
I felt someone there,
but my eyes turned to see
just dead emptiness.

And then  I heard a loud noise
The only sound that broke the peace
Perhaps.............. a tear had fallen.

BforBlog

Well.....after sleeping for a discontinuous period of around 24 hours, my heart suddenly felt ecstatic and my mind, super active. And in this state of hyperactivity, I decided to do something creative: Write a Blog.
Ya I know. I am at snail's speed in tech stuff. I have been getting the divine feeling to create my own blog, but by the time it strikes me, I am already in the Stone Age. But today, I felt like a volcano erupted in my mind; that is the best example I can give to my mental state, with thoughts emerging out like molten lava. Wow, I can almost imagine it. It feels amazing to personify yourself. So I grabbed my laptop and decided to e-pen down my feelings.
Let me start off with justifying the title of my blog. My mind was indeed at fire; an atmosphere murky with smoke, and fragments of thoughts overcrowding the small space. It took me quite a while to discern them. And out of that murkiness came the enlightenment. I realized there were so many things I wanted to write about. Let me make a list of it-
  • Books
  • Bollywood
  • my Better half
  • my Brother
  • my Buddies
  • my Beloved
  • me as a Being
Thats enough. To complete the list is a fathomable task for a Beginner like me. Oh then an astute thought strikes me again-there are too many B's appearing on the list. For a Beginner, it could be the smartest thing to start your blog with something that validates your blog's content. I feel the enlightenment thing is too effective today. So I start with utmost satisfaction and pride to name my blog-BforBlog. Hell no. The title is unavailable. I try all limited combinations to keep the title as simple as it is, but in vain. I thought, either there are too many people who think the same as I do, who have already been blessed with glorified state of mind, or there are several lazy souls to think of a more creative title. I look in the dictionary to get a fascinating word starting with B, which at first sight most people don't understand. I have always believed that the title to anything plays the most important role in gathering an audience. I am always tempted to read or watch something whose title appeals to me. An extraordinary word from the dictionary would be just the perfect thing for my blog. But then, some words are either too common, some not at all suitable and rest belong to a category which I myself would not remember after a while. So, at the end, inspired by some screen gods, I simply added another 'g' to my Blog. Yes, the title is available.
