Follow the light : From "The Croods"


Wonderful movie.. Its about the struggle of world's first family to survive. The most important lesson it teaches is of :following the light" , not being scared of anything.. Beautifully made animation film..It captures different emotions and different kind of people inside family very well! The protective father , caring mother , angry grandmother , lazy son , naughty younger daughter and brave elder daughter.
One fine day , a "guy" comes to their life and their life changes for good. The guy teaches them about following your heart , solving problems with ideas rather than power , being courageous and most importantly follow the light.. I am too impressed with the screenplay and the story

I will leave you with the opening speech of the movie 

"With every sun comes a new day. A new beginning. A hope that things will be better today than they were yesterday. But not for me. My name is Eep. And this is my family, the Croods. If you weren't clued in already by the animal skins and sloping foreheads, we're cavemen. Most days we spend in our cave, in the dark. Night after night, day after day. Yep, home sweet home. When we did go out, we struggled to find food in a harsh and hostile world. And I struggled to survive my family. We were the last ones around. There used to be neighbors. Uh, the Gorts, smashed by a mammoth. The Horks, swallowed by a sand snake. The Erfs, mosquito bite. Throgs, common cold. And the Croods, that's us. The Croods made it, because of my dad. He was strong, and he followed the rules. The ones painted on the cave walls. Anything new is bad. Curiosity is bad. Going out at night is bad. Basically, anything fun is bad. Welcome to my world! But this is a story about how all that changed in an instant. Because what we didn't know was that our world was about to come to an end. And there were no rules on our cave walls to prepare us for that."

Life : Pointless ?? Hmmm

So after a long time, I was reading a book related to Life!
The book is "Bringers of Light".. Very interesting book to read..

One of the points mentioned in the book is "Life is Pointless! "

अर्ध जग आयुष्याचा point शोधण्यात अर्ध आयुष्य घालवत ! आणि इथे तर हा लेखक म्हणतो आयुष्याला काही point च नाही !! त्याचं म्हणण अस आहे कि आयुष्याचा point शोधण्यात काहीच अर्थ नाही ! कारण आयुष्याला काही point नसतो … लेखकाच्या मते हा "point" शोधण्यापेक्षा तो बनवणे जास्त योग्य आहे !

खूप वेगळा विचार वाटला मला हा … सामान्यतः आयुष्याचा अर्थ किंवा "so called point" शोधण्यात लोक आयुष्य घालवतात आणि संयासाश्रमात तो मिळाला नाही म्हणून मुक्ती शोधतात !

जाउदे एवढ सगळं मांडण्याचा माझा आयुष्याचा काही अनुभव नाही … फक्त एवढाच कि हा एक वेगळा विचार वाटला….
