Dead Poets Society and Mohabbatein: A Comparison

I finally got around to watching Dead Poets Society (1989), a film I had wanted to see for a long time. I found that it shares quite a few similarities with Mohabbatein (2000). It’s interesting to see how one film can inspire another, and I think it's completely okay. Many films take inspiration from others and create something unique from it. Both movies start in a similar way. In Dead Poets Society, the film begins with students marching under banners that read "Tradition," "Honor," and "Discipline" at a large assembly full of new faces as a new semester is about to start. Similarly, Mohabbatein starts with a new semester at Gurukul, introducing "Parampara," "Pratishtha," and "Anushasan," which are Hindi for "Tradition," "Honor," and "Discipline." Both films use this setting to explore the clash between tradition and personal freedom. The characters in both films also have simil...

Through the Lens of Compassion: Wonder 2017

"I didn’t destroy a Death Star or anything like that, but I did just get through the fifth grade. And that’s not easy, even if you’re not me." Well, that's Auggie – August Pullman. He loves science and has a great sense of humor, enough for anyone to like and love him, butt So While scrolling through Instagram, I came across a quote: "Am I ugly, Dad? No, son, the world is ugly." Which I was familiar with because have seen many times and loved. "Wonder," released in 2017. But this time I knew have to watch this as soon as possible. Interestingly, it started as a book, which I had seen the on Instagram too a while back; I just didn't remember it when I was watching the movie. This was the starting scene of the movie, so creatively beautiful, right? You know there's another movie that has a kinda similar start, yeah? So automatically, this reminded me of the movie named "Taare Zameen Par." The only difference was that this ...

Abridged or Unabridged

What’s an Abridged Book? An abridged book is like a simplified or shortened version of the original. The core story is there, but some parts—like lengthy descriptions, side plots, or complex details—are removed. It’s easier to read and gets to the point faster. Think of it as getting the highlights without all the extra commentary. Who’s It For? ♡People who want to enjoy the story without committing too much time. ♡Those who find old or difficult language hard to follow. ♡Beginners or casual readers who are exploring a new genre or author. For example, if you want to get into something heavy like Les Misérables but don’t want to wade through pages of historical detail about France, an abridged version might suit you. What’s an Unabridged Book? Now, an unabridged book is the real deal—the full, original text, exactly as the author intended. Every detail, every subplot, every word stays intact. This version requires patience because it can be long and detailed. But if you love fully imme...
