Now that’s a confusing place. To say it again I am talking of a confused image and not balanced one. My inspiration of writing today has been recent bollywood flick ‘Heroine’& 'Cocktail'.
Mahi Arora portrays a character which is neither way too modern not too conventional. She has a modern outlook but still believe in marriage and commitment. She is very independent but still looking to have her boyfriend’s shoulder to lean on. She is scared from deep inside but finds out a way to show guts in front of others. When finds career, she looks out for love; when she finds love, she looks out for career. She is insecure about her love, thoughts, life, fame. The film may be fiction based but it has the elements of a today’s women. A similar contrast was shown in another bollywood flick 'Cocktail'. Veronica, a character with modern outlook, who has learned to be her own at last falls into the trap of being conventional in the hope of being a good and acceptable partner like her friend 'Meera' who is a perfect housewife material.
Most of our generation women are not those conventional mothers types where we restrict ourselves to our whimes but nor are we too bold to go out and live just on our own. Where do we fall?
I see a confused image. Just like being a teenager we are no more a child nor an adult. I remember my parents making me hop around to fit in among kids when I felt a need to be an adult.
Okay, coming back to where I was, Mahi Arora was not so much an unfamiliar character, at least not for me. I have girlfriends who are way bolder than me like Veronica and few goody like Meera. My Ma Dad, for that matter have changed themselves with time unlike my Chacha (My dad’s younger brother). They are not very strict about the way of conducting life but nor too modern to let their daughter do anything at their stake. There have been situations where I have felt flat on my face thinking – to do this is sane or insane? I have gone out of the box and made decisions of turning left when people wanted me to turn right.
I was trying to clear my head on few things, whether I want them or not. Am I bold enough to take this step or shall I restrain myself being a goody girl? Again, by realising few things in life, I am slowly moving towards being a balanced person from a confused one and hoping to get some success in the long term.
With this, I leave you with your thoughts of wanting to be Mahi, Veronica or Meera!!!
