What made me love Bahubali2?

Is it the introduction in which he shatters the doors to makes way for his mum by pulling the "Ratham" ? Is it the perfect posture of standing on an elephant and releasing the arrow ? Is it the giant powerful man bounded by a mother's affection who takes rest in his mother's lap ? Is it that loving son who takes his mother for a ride on a chariot ? Is it the swordsmanship with which he kills 3 guys with just one thrust of a sword , pulls it out of their body , twists and slashes into other set of soldiers?

Is it the support of "Pancha-Bhoothas" for waging the wars ?
1. Support of fire for waging the Kalakeya war
2. Support of lightning from sky to save Kattappa
3. Support of water to wash away Pindaris like ants in Kunthala
4. Support of Vayu(air) from Palm trees to enter the palace
5. Or breaking the land beneath Bhalla's statue, thereby seeking earth's support ?

Is it that wonderful gentleman who lets his wife walk over his shoulders to enter the boat ? Is it that great man who keeps calm and trust's his partner's capability in archery and teaches her to release 3 arrows in one shot during war? Is it that great husband who chops off the head of a Commander for trying to grope women? Is it that man of "Dharma" who never fails to stay on the side of Dharma even at the cost of opposing his mother?

Or is it the fall of a "head-greedy for throne" ending up shattered along the perennial waterfall, which the deserving character climbs?

When everyone treats a scene as a dot - This man did it differently by viewing it as a collection of 24 Frames. He created an epic by making each Frame speak for itself.

HatsOff to your thoughts and picturization Rajamouli. You have created a page for yourself by creating history.

Respect!

When I first landed in Bangalore, I was stunned by the generosity of the people. They had a such welcoming heart and they were so friendly, that one of my friends considered me as his own sister and started introducing me to his family members as his little sister. It takes a lot to accept some outsider as your family member. He gave me a family in Bangalore that I could visit anytime. The million dollar question here is .. "What did he lose by doing so?".. I'll leave it to others to think of the answer

Next, coming to the attitude of these B'lore guys, I've seen few of my friends addressing the auto drivers , watchman etc by calling them "Sir" .. When I asked them why, their answer wasn't an expected one - "These people( with low cadre jobs as we see in India) would not be respected, they will not be respected by their profession or age. So, we can be kind to them by respecting them." 

This made me ponder on these lines "What on earth will we lose by respecting our fellow human being ? Literally nothing! What is wrong in thanking the auto driver for driving us home ? Of course, he just did his job. But he drove us safely to our destination. Isn't that enough for us to thank him ?"

As days passed, I landed in UK for my first onsite. I had to spend the initial days setting up the application and one of my colleagues helped us extensively in that aspect. I had few doubts regarding the application setup and when I went to his place - I found a note which read - "Don't treat a person as a resource". This came as a slap to me because I  was one who always had the mindset that "Only toppers are eligible friends to me and only top performers are eligible colleagues to me" . The same question again "What will I lose by respecting a person?"

To be continued ...
