PERCEPTION..............SO RELATIVE

heege maththe bareyona antha koothe....sumne heege maththomme manassinallirodanna geechona antha..... of course am being banal antha anstha ide...yen maadodu ond ondsala mind blank aagibiduththe.... mukthadalli CSP heltaralla haage..... this is again the state of a chaotic mind i guess..... neways let's cut the crap.... sumaaru dinagala kelage yeradu natakagalannu nodidde.... B.Jayashree tandada vatiyinda Chitrapata...... maththe innondu Benaka tandadinda eka vyakti prayoga Aahata by T.S.Nagabharana.
Chitrapata was such a beautiful play which made me think think and think again about a lot of things in life. Let me give u a glimpse of the play. After the whole episode of the Ramayana and when everything was going the happily lived ever after kinds... Shoorpanaki in disguise as Seetha's friend meets her and forces to tell her about the long dead Ravana... seetha denies that she had ever seen ravana... but after a lot of coaxing and forcing she admits to her friend that she indeed had seen ravana once.... her friend who being shoorpanaki in diguise now forces her to draw a sketch of ravana.....ofcourse one has to agree that ravana was a really handsome man though..... seetha draws the portrait of ravana without his eyes.... which she believes would make him alive again.... in the absence of seetha shoorpanaki draws the eyes and the potratit comes alive as ravana again.... what a radical idea that has been expressed here in this play.... amazing athyaadbhuta..... all the while when seetha is devoted to her husband Lord Rama.... she still carries that image, that persona, that picture of another handsome man, who being cruel of unjust or what ever had just become an undeleteable file on the registry of the hard drie of her mind.... goes to say that Ramanigaagi pathivrathe aagidrunoo kooda somewhere in the back of her mind she was still thinkng about RAVANA....

Aahata......

idu innondu extreme of thinking ansuththe... ee nataka baredirodu H.S.Venkateshamoorthy
here a character called Rudraachari is introduced who is a look alike of Duryodhana.. the poor soul rudraachari is just another theatre artist who wants to make it big in life.... he heads to Hastinapura in serach of his fortune... there he is abducted by the kingsmen and then he is trained to be the Duryodhana... the concept that the creator of the play has brought out is that duryodhana could be so bad that he can risk some one else' s life for his gain....

when some one sees these two plays... one can defintiely how much of thinking has gone into each one.... and how each creator has percieved the characters... one shows the darkside of the good character and the otehr shows the even darker side of a darker character.... now when i call the characters good or dark i think this is again perception rather i would disagree with it being as a common notion though... as it seems to me that perception is so relative... does ne one think how thin the line could be between the perceptions??? I guess one who lives on that thin line could be called a perfectionist..... but do u really find perectionists at all? Well again it happens very usually...very much in every one's life... sometimes we form an opinion about someone based on our perceptions..... and we assume that we are right again the assumption of us being right also seems to be a perception.... and the perception is usually so strong that one tends to get biased about his opinion , his thinking and his thought process is kind of stagnant... why dont we open ourselves to the world beyond perception.... why dont we just throw the boundaries of perceptions and assumptions .... why cant we start being perfectionists in the world where ppl dont really stand on the line.... lets live on the line ....lets become perfectionists......

jus as an add on...
earlier,it used to be "seein is believin". but with changing times n changes in thought patterns, its come to this state where "believin is seein"
we see the things not as they are, but as we are. when a new information is compatible with our preconceived knowledge structures, we accept it, otherwise it is simply discarded.
all of this is bcoz of selective perception, tht each one of us have developed over a long time. we all have different perceptions of various things accordin to wht we see n wht we want//
In this state of mind if we somehow try to live on tht 'thin line' as coined by suresh, then yes.. we r close to perfection !!! lets all give it a shot in tryin to live in tht thin line.. with very lil assertivity on our assumptions n a broader mind to imbibe the radical ideas tht can help us in unifying the different perceptions tht emerge in our minds..
"The state of your life is nothing more than a reflection of your state of mind."
