6 Lessons we�ve learned from Pk !
1.�Joh dar gaya who mandir gaya !�
Wow! No that�s just so true. Religion has often been used an element of fear to control one�s life.
The Pharisee attitude and rituals have given way to religion and killed the relationship aspect with the creator.
2. �Bhagwaan se baath karein ka communication system is gola ka total lull ho chukka hai /Yeh Wrong no hai.�
Yup, we�ve all being dialing some wrong no�s here and certain superstitions and rituals cut off our communication lines with God. Some of these barriers may well be residing within us- Prejudice, hatred, bitterness, unforgiveness.
3.The concept of 2 Gods !
Now this for me was probably one of the best moments of the film. Primarily as Pk doesn�t deny the existence of GOD.
Bang On ! There are 2 Gods .Yup�2 !
One that created us and the other that we�ve created with all our perceptions, ritualistic thought processes etc.
4. �Apne apne bhagwan ki raksha karna band karo � nahi toh is gola mein insaan nahi sirf jootha reh jayega�
(Stop protecting your god � or else only shoes will be left on this planet and not humans)
Isn�t this so true in the light of what we have seen recently at Peshawar?
History is full of such horrific tragedies in the name of religion or a higher calling and probably all we�re left with is blood stained memorabilia .
5.The patterns of THIS world .
Pk states in the movie that on his planet, people( if I may call them ) are aliens to the ways of this world. He says they don�t conform to the patterns of this world i.e. they don�t lie out there .
Yet, ironic at the end Pk learns one thing from Humans..to LIE ! Thought-Provoking !
6.Fashion
On A lighter note Pk taught us a little about fashion. Some new trends and pairing up options.
Be Bold and wear what you feel like , be it a Skirt and a blazer or a yellow helmet.
Don�t be too bothered about others and please don�t go ahead and try correcting someone�s fashion sense (Wink ! Wink ! )
Additional point:
I think Pk has had one of the finest music albums in 2014 . Hummable, sweet and melodious.
Amazing lyrics unlike several tracks this year. Hats off to Shantanu Moitra and Swanand Kirkire .
