References

So after a long thought process, instead of trying to make a big impact on people by giving my Bhokaal-Tantra it would be better if I just quote some references. It’s too big a pressure to make a debut: - whether it is on blog or movie or class presentation or anything. So I think I have softened this pressure by giving myself 2 posts to get used to. Well so here are some of the documentaries I would recommend people to watch. This is not just because they are good documentaries but even gives insight about our present system [system here I meant in all forms e.g. body, mind, political, social etc]. There may be some I am missing but I will add them later as I remember. So here’s the deal. I am listing out the documentaries, their posters and their imdb/wikipedia profile links. I sincerely recommend watching them.  It will open your eyes on so many aspects hitherto unknown and also will show a clear path on how to tackle all the problems. [again I meant problems in all spheres of life]

There are many more documentaries which give a deeper insight into all of the above mentioned phenomena. I will quote them when I see that stuffs are not being explained using the background o these documentaries. Some points to note down are some of these documentaries are related to America and western countries. But thinking, “Why I should look in their matters, I better see my environment” [PESTEL] (MBA gets me sometimes) will not help. This is because human beings are same all over the world. Some of the things are genetic -no doubt about that but there’s even bigger factor which influences behavior of an individual is the environment a person lives in and what value system or cultures a person holds. So it will give us a very good but not perfect platform to ponder on situations around us. As the film making in India is very materialistic in nature and very few handful of people in documentary movie making business we can’t allow ourselves to develop our rational and thought process over a revolution in this industry. Of course we will fine tune and develop a sound understanding as we get more and more information its better we start snowballing as fast as possible. So get down with your lassi and milk glasses to say CHEERS!!!
