I loved a few from recent cinema, like Aamir Khan's in TZP, SRK's in Chak De to name a few, but these characters come few and far between.<br /></b>Passionate Goofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08696886799957975404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062566679426397319.post-62584187509178647892010-03-25T18:39:15.897+10:002010-03-25T18:39:15.897+10:00I thought long and hard about this, but you know w...I thought long and hard about this, but you know what - it all depends on what movies and literature are to you: your eyes to the world, or a new world to your eyes? I prefer that films and books tell us as it is, and actually exaggerate it. Because a third person account usually hits the hardest, and you actually DON'T want to be anything like the protagonist.<br /><br />There are still ideal characters if you look around though - MNIK's Rizwan Khan is one I can remember off the top of my head. Not in the same way maybe like a Mother India, but they do exist. All's not lost.

I am not judging anyone, but I do regret not having better ideals to look up to.<br /><br />2B's mommy - Thanks. :)<br /><br />Reflections - I am not talking about being great in a professional field alone, but being a good person too, and I think you are a great person already. I think if a woman can really dedicate herself to taking care of her home and family there is nothing quite like it.<br /><br />Pixie - No way not at all. I am not talking about careerwise great or professionally, what I am talking about here, is being a good person, a good human in whatever capacity it works.<br /><br />CS - Thanks. And I am not talking about making things happen teh way you want to in life, but more about being a good person, a great human being, you know,having ideals of principled, strong, selfless people to, look upto, to get there.<br /></b>Passionate Goofhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08696886799957975404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062566679426397319.post-16802367548444694222010-03-25T12:57:50.410+10:002010-03-25T12:57:50.410+10:00Hi GM,

I couldn't have put my thoughts as clearly as you have because I don't think deeply like you do : ).<br /><br />I've never set big goals in my life. I’ve always aspired to do some stuff. I've learnt early on in my life we go thru what we are supposed to go thru no matter what we plan for life. I'd give my 100% effort and focus in what ever I do along with love and truthfulness. I take aspirations from simple people around me who lead a life with minimal resources. <br /><br />I’d keep day to today goals or monthly ones like the things for family, friends and others. I'm very happy to say that I feel fulfilled in every aspect of my life. My achievements may be minor or nothing compared to others but I feel satisfied looking back at my life. May be, not comparing my life with others might be the reason I feel satisfied. ; ). <br /><br />CSAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062566679426397319.post-13823229275347189292010-03-24T13:50:26.774+10:002010-03-24T13:50:26.774+10:00I couldn't have put across my thoughts as clea...I couldn't have put across my thoughts as clearly as you have! :)<br /><br />Aiming to be the best is a good thing, I agree with the saying - when you aim for the stars, you will at least reach the moon.<br /><br />We need to set the standards high and achieve them or atleast try!<br />But, this doesn't mean one has to be unhappy or neglect family and friends and such things...<br />I guess you understood what I'm trying to say?! :)Pixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14433156131506216582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062566679426397319.post-90973289619295010752010-03-24T00:07:57.018+10:002010-03-24T00:07:57.018+10:00Very thought-provoking post GM....honestly speakin...Very thought-provoking post GM....honestly speaking I dont ever remember aiming for the stars and always was very laid-back but in the back of my mind I always thought with a bit of effort I cd have attained so much in life.<br />Now there is so much I want to do but am bound by constraints....but I havent given up...yet;-)<br />"Is it regressive for a woman to love her children, and take care of her family?"<br />It takes a very strong woman to accept it for what it is and be happy with what she has and find endless possibilities within her small world.<br />Echoing 2B's mommy words...very well articulated!!!!<br />[ummm....I may have rambled on;-/]Reflectionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07306120391459083770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6062566679426397319.post-39936572871179860992010-03-23T19:38:03.385+10:002010-03-23T19:38:03.385+10:00whoa!
