Saw the latest Hindi film "Pink" that is making waves with its powerful message of a woman's "NO meaning NO". What a powerful film with a super strong message of women's empowerment! The film shows its three leading ladies as flawed, real, erring persons, who made the grave mistake of befriending some louts who later try to act fresh with them. The girls are harassed in all ways possible and later dragged to court by these hoodlums. They manage to fight their case with the help of a maverick lawyer, and emerge victorious, though shaken after some ruthless questioning on their morals and characters. The film reflects reality both in the form of the attitude of the average man on the street and the new generation woman, who is not afraid to mix, laugh, and share a drink with strangers. The boys feel that the girls have invited trouble for themselves with their clothes and behaviour. That, unfortunately, is the general mindset of most men in India, however...

What is it like when a loved one leaves the world leaving you lonely? How incarcerating is the pain and loss? How does one cope with these feelings of being left bereft and empty? Unless you face such a situation where you have lost a parent you will never realize what it feels like. Without that umbrella on your head, how lost one feels. When there is no one to confide in, or seek advice from. But time, as they say, heals everything. If not heal, at least it blunts all scars and wounds, and clouds painful memories. You still grieve and mourn, but slowly forget that searing pain and loss. You cover up the void with other things and activities. Slowly that person's place is taken by someone else, and you learn to live without that person. Perhaps that is life. And that is what life teaches us....to flow like a river, gathering memories and replacing experiences. And prodding on no matter what.
