Please correct me if i have misunderstood you. I feel more often than not, we romanticize and do not really observe and our views are heavily colored. And romanticizing is essential for making movies/writing blogs, for the simple reason that facts are boring. Art is essentially deceiving oneself and others. ;)<BR/><BR/>//Friendship is an overrated relationship anyway.//<BR/>Hahaha, not only friendship but relationship per se is overrated.

I haven't seen many movies to make this judgement, but other travel related movies that I have seen didn't have that magic, though they were good in their own way. <BR/><BR/>I think 'Pans Labyrinth' is a fairy tale like movie, with wonderful music. But the movie's not really free flowing like 'Motorcycle Diaries', though I don't know what it means. I don't watch too many movies nowadays. Actually Hindi movies are getting better by the day. 'Manorama Six feet Under', 'Johnny Gaddar' are the wonderful movies that I saw last week. Tamil movies suck by comparison. <BR/><BR/>All we have is Paruthiveeran, which I don't like one bit and movies like Mozhi where they try too hard to strike a balance. It just doesn't fit in naturally. Chennai 28 is the masterpiece of this year. I wish they made more movies like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-138116220510947194.post-68863803893792110512007-10-30T19:57:00.000+05:302007-10-30T19:57:00.000+05:30juvvicant agree more!

All i am saying is that while our awareness/observation increases due to external changes during a trip, that doesn't mean that it can be done internally. The bottom line is <B>the more you are aware, the more u feel like living. </B> That, in essence, is zen.<BR/><BR/>usha<BR/>yeh true! ;) Trips literally provide the space for understanding people and thereby relationships to grow.

I too dont differ much. I agree partly for that we observe a lot when we are taken out of routines, but its not our leisure attitude alone that contributes to more observation. Havent u observed in college that after a hectic case study/presentation work (ok lets assume it happened) u felt close with somebody...or after u had worked with somebody in a new project u feel more closer to him. <BR/><BR/>So, while turning ur head outside ur cubicle defnitely helps, it needn't be a relaxed one.

And a bit of a detail here:<BR/>//a travel can make one aware of many things about oneself which one wouldnt have realised in the usual mundane life... //<BR/><BR/>Normally, we don't try to observe things around us. And travel gives us space to do that. That said, we can do create space even otherwise.<BR/><BR/>//Also, one comes to realize the intensity of the closeness( or distance)with those travelling with you//<BR/><BR/>The more you "see" of yourself/others, the more you feel close. If you choose to close your "eyes", no amount of travel can help you. ;)<BR/><BR/>Sowmya<BR/>Thanks for the inspiration! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10819356415845133895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-138116220510947194.post-21604273791886941372007-10-26T16:32:00.000+05:302007-10-26T16:32:00.000+05:30A very good post :)## when you are in the same “cu...A very good post :)<BR/><BR/>## when you are in the same “cubicle” of your life, you tend to lose your skills to observe, which made you look at everything with wonder in your eyes when you were a child.##<BR/><BR/><BR/>## Mind you, the grayness is due to the “been there, done it all” attitude, which essentially is out of the “very predictable routine” of your life.
