Does God exists?

For much time this thought has captivated my mind so I wanted to share my views on it. I believe in the existence of a higher power above us but if GOD exists or not is a very subjective question. A theist would say ''Yes!'' while an atheist would not. 

Dividing these two is an Agnostic, who is someone who believes in GOD but does not believe in worshiping it. For me Agnosticism is the dividing line. Either you are on the theist side or the atheist side of being an Agnostic. As for myself, I'm on the atheist side. I believe in only one figure but I don't worship her.

People say absence of faith is the reason for not acknowledging GOD, I say it's due to reason and logic only that people do not. Many go as far as saying that atheist are living in denial but if you see it, it's a matter of personal choice. Either you choose to believe or you choose not to.

In the end I can only say that if it's a matter of faith and you wanna have faith in
someone or some figure, have it in yourself and everything will turn out just fine. 

As for the existence of GOD, it's still what you believe in.



Connotations about the term 'love'.


This one is about Love as it means not just romantic love which is, by the way, the first image that pops into anyone’s mind while imaging the term 'love'. So the technical definition of love states that, "Love is the emotion of strong affection and personal attachment."

But does anyone thinks about it in that way? I mean take a situation a guy, a normal guy says i love u to another male friend and he's a gay fag, he's says that to a female friend and he's in a relationship. Why? Does love always mean romance? You love your parents, don't you? Then why only this romance related image comes up in our mind? 

Over time our mentality has changed to this. If someone exclaims love, we think romantic lovers. Why not anything else like friendship? People have a lot of connotations about this term. If we are able to get out of this, we'd freely be able to express ourselves. But this does not mean shouting 'i love you' on the streets. 

When you talk with your friends and express your love towards them,  then use this term. Just don't limit it to your girlfriend/boyfriend but expand it beyond that.

13 Different types of laughter that people around you do!

Everyone enjoys a good laugh specially the advent followers of ‘Sidhuism’! But what happens when someone’s laughter is harder than the joke? Or it is so awkward that you can just stare and stare and stare them down like they have asked for your kidney in return! We all enjoy company of people who laugh with an open heart (and mouth, apparently). The mouth is sometimes so much open, you can actually fit the entire Titanic there! Some laugh so quietly, they gyrate like some old Balaj Aata Grinder!

Some people (who have a thorn stuck somewhere in their posterior, I am not willing to discuss) don’t laugh at all! But come on, who wants to be around them?!
Let’s focus on how differently people can laugh and make you wonder, “Bhai, ET ka cousin hai tu?”

 1) The simplest, the BIG FAT PUNJABI laughter!
      People don’t only eat or drink big. They laugh big too! You would think that you have seen the most audacious laughter coming from them but you’ll be in for a surprise every time someone tells a savita bhabhi joke! Wadde Wadde Mouth te Wadde Wadde Laughs. 

                         
2)      The NIRUPA ROY laughter!
No, this isn’t dark humor. Some people laugh so hard that every time they laugh, they start crying! They literally cry, like full-fledged soap opera attyachar wala cry!
                                   

3)      The SKID BRAKE/DONKEY laughter!
We all have that one friend whose laugh is like applying emergency brakes to a Maruti 800!
You must have heard that. After all you can’t miss that ‘Heein..heein..heein..heein’. It also sounds like a donkey! If you don’t have such a friend. I have bad news for you.
                                  

4)      The SUWAR Laughter!
The snorter as we call them! Their nose is their bread and butter. Their reason for existence. Their one sole motive is to constantly laugh from…no points for guessing…the nose! If you close your eyes you CAN NOT tell the difference between a snorter and a suwar.
                                 

5)      The DEREK O’BRIAN laughter!
The pleasure for this specie is driven by laughing while asking question constantly! You’ll be amazed how one pattern of asking questions and laughing can be applied to SO MANY situations. It’s always like this, “Hahah..nahi re sachchi kya hahah? Hahah..sach bol raha hai na hahah? Hahah..kitna sahi raha hoga na hahah?”
                                 
        
6)      The GENERATOR laughter!
These people laugh and they laugh like your 2 killo volt wala generator! Some have mastered the technique of vibrating with it too. Apparently it’s very fun. Generator me diesel dalta hai par inka petrol khatam hi ni Honda!
                                     
                    
7)      The MARATHON laughter!
First rule of a marathon? You start running. Second rule? There is none. Same goes for these types of ‘laughers’.  They start laughing and once they do, days start to go by, seasons outside start to change but they would still be doing so! The only way to shut them up in if you stuff something up their mouth!
                                   

8)      The Aata Grinder Laughter!
These people laugh like you have just turned on a mixer grinder! They seal tight their lips together and start gyrating big time! Producing balgam sounds while they laugh! Ever heard of ‘Mata aajaati hai?’. Bingo.
                                                   


9)      The Bachche wali laughter!
This type of laughter is probably the sweetest one that you will hear. It’s one of the most pleasant ones and it actually makes you happy too! Rare, isn’t it? Yeah, adults can keep their innocence too. *puppy dog eyes*
                                       
10)   The LELAI laughter!
They laugh so suspiciously that in the end you can only wonder if it was a true laughter or a fake one just to shrug you off. People-log hassi se lene ki koshish karte hain. And people have gotten so good with this, some idiots can’t even tell the difference. Funny, right? Cracks me up every time too.
                 

11)   The 1930’s laughter!
Just like a movie belonging to the era when cinema had just started here. Inka muh toh khulta hai, par awaaz nahi aati! They’ll open a mouth so big but they seemed to be chocking! They’ll clap their hands, jump, bump, dump but no audio sir, no audio!
                                           

12)   The EHSAAN laughter!
These people laugh like ‘ehsaan kar rahe hon’. They’ll widen their eyes and smile a little with an expression that would put Arjun Rampal to shame. Bhai, mat hi hass! 

                                          
13)   THE AAHAT laughter!
These people will laugh in a manner that will scare you! You will be taken aback by the diabolical way of laughing alone! Sure, they don’t mean any harm. Or do they?

Experiencing the cinematic drive!



Cinema has always fascinated all of us and why not! We live in a nation which patronizes this art and over all is considered as a sacred religion. The iconic dialogues of an even more iconic film, "Mere paas gaadi hai, paisa hai, bank balance hai...tumhare paas kya hai?" "Mere paas...MAA hai!" Aur humare paas CineMA hai!


To gather the experience, a crew of 7 people forayed into the wilderness to gather the footage. Our task, to create a film on disability for the college's film festival on the same topic known as 'WE CARE'. There was no limit for the film's duration but we had to wrap it up under 3 mins. Now, the first task was to see or rather foresee what we want from our film. Since the dawn of time, every film on disability has had a disable person throughout it to showcase but we wanted something different.


We moved ahead with a concept of showing a film on disability without showing any disable in it. So we came upon an idea of showcasing people's perceptions towards the disable! The next step was  finalizing the dialogues which were an integral part of it. We stormed our brains and dimaag ka dhai karne ke baad we finally decided upon 3 dialogues from the society's point of view and 1 from the disable's point of view. We picked out actors amongst the group only. And then went ahead in the studio to finalllllllly shoot it! 

We used the 'Stop-Block' technique of recording and the movie was shot in a single take. We were ELATED with happiness of shooting our first movie and that too within a single take! Ekdum Raja Babu wali feel aa rehli thi, boss

The experience was one of a kind and the feel of it was amazing. Bole toh ekdum Sanjay Leela Bhansali ka feel aa gaya! The best part about such an experience is that you take it with yourself and cherish it. You keep it at the back of your mind and learn from it. You think about your mistakes and don't repeat them. And that is why a media student should experience this. You can't fake it.

The post production of the movie yet remains and we are still to decide on a title. But as they say that Rome wasn't build in a day! We are scratching our brains for something to scratch back and say, ' Yahi hai right choice, baby!' what unfolds it yet to be seen!

Keep watching this space for more! The Sadharan Sense will be back!

PS: Stroke your brain until,
      It strikes your mind!
