Perceptions about friendship, love, humanity and other crucial aspects of existence take root with strong conviction. My standards of friendship know that Balu and Raghu or Sankara and Madhava could dwell in this world. Although cinematic, they seem real and achievable.
Staying in and letting go of love with such depth, acceptance and power looks emanicipating. Morals and manners are put to test and they always thrive in these worlds, and in this growing up life goes on.
Balu and Sankara's principles of remaining true to their art (and their feelings) regardless of changing times are to be learnt from. (Well...one can also say that people have had a knack of being vainly pompous and hero worshipping, so from K. Vishwanath's time till now, not much has changed.)
Instead of choosing self-praise, appeasement or fame they hope for the world to see their dedication. I'm reminded of dearest van Gogh. But there are definitely more people in this category! And that's nice about the world.
Respect for art and artists takes a key place in one's worldview when they are conditioned with such visual material. These become more relevant when dialogue and discussions take place. I'm grateful to have learnt from cultures of care and respect, and hope that they remain strong.
(Please let me have the brains to write on what I learnt from Pa Ranjith's 'Natchathiram Nagargiradhu'.)
