Kashmir Again / Film / Osho

Kashmir, again

Tanveen, from Srinagar, staying in the hostel room next to mine hears a bang. A strange look comes over her face as she asks me what it could be. When I tell her it's a fire-cracker, she is relieved and says, 'It sounded like a grenade.'

The night before she screamed in her sleep and woke up her room-mate. She says she saw gory images. "When you've been so close to violence, for so long, you are always fearful."

A loud bang:

- I, a Delhiite, know it to be a fire-cracker, part of wedding celebrations.

- A friend from Kerala wonders which temple is having a festival!

- Tanveen, well...

This morning, my room-mate had a tear in her eye while on the phone she received the news that her student, a major in the Indian army, had been shot dead by militants near the border.

Film

Films are difficult to explain because films are easy to understand. Films are easy to understand because films happen to you.

Osho:

Put everything at stake. Be a gambler!

Risk everything, because the next moment is not certain, so why bother? Why be concerned?

Live dangerously, live joyously.
Live without fear, live without guilt.
Live without any fear of hell, or any greed for heaven.

Just live.
