Attraction ........................

Attraction is one magic word which carries a splendid feeling,it is a special something which bonds one with another.It is one great feeling without which the world would be ruthless.All living species in this world uses this magic feeling to keep them moving towards living their life in full.Without attraction the world may never attain the completeness for which it was created & to evolve for the coming years.

Attraction is extremely important. Most of us limit the meaning only to the fact that attraction can be only between two human beings. And most of the times we do under value the need for it. There can be attraction of money, power, love, lust, beauty, friendship, food, family, clothes and the list goes on and on and on. we earn or work because money is the attraction. Remove the remuneration / pay checks and you will not feel attracted towards your job. In marital life too, when you lose attraction for each other your marriage life is dead. Attraction works as a fuel to keep us going. It makes our monotonous life more interesting and bright.

Dictionary meaning of attraction is something like this:
“An invisible power in a body by which it draws anything to itself; the power in nature acting mutually between bodies or ultimate particles, tending to draw them together, or to produce their cohesion or combination, and conversely resisting separation. “

And it certainly is, attraction is something that draws us in to it and it is something really really important to live a life better, happily and satisfactorily.


But getting someone or something attracted towards you is really a very challenging job and so is remaining attracted to someone or something is difficult. For instance we all dress up early in the morning to look our best and by doing so we are definitely attracting others towards us and doing this daily is a real challenge. As a team leader I have to strive very hard to make my trainings extremely interesting so that my team members are attracted towards the process, learn and work effectively.Whatever I teach them, even for a slight loss in their concentration is because / would mean they are not attached or attracted towards the subject or the way the subject is being taught by me.

Attraction is a real josh provider which is very imporatant for us to keep moving forward withour routine in this mechanical world.

Jodhaa Akbar

i was very busy at work and my weekend schedules with my game of cricket & romeo roams with my close pals kept me busy too.,I literally forgot to watch any hindi movies but hitting the theatre which i was pretty regular in then.The last time i hit the theatre for a hindi movie was hmmm.... oh my god the last movie was " Rang De Basanti "..Long time right... I have a habit of watching only good hindi movies which for sure depends on the starcast involved in it and also the reviews are most important.I love the Srk's, Aamir Khan's,Hrithik's and all top director's movies.Then i decided that the wait is over and i have to watch a good flick and guess what I got to watch the Ashutosh Gowariker's movie "Jodhaa Akbar" satrring Hrithik Roshan & Aishwarya Rai.

I wasnt sure about how Hrithik would fit in the period movie after his sauve and stylish .. totally contemporary Dhoom2. I always thought he is a good actor & dancer, so I was positive it will be decent flick. But after I watched the movie, I am in dearth of words to talk about how wonderful was his portrayal of Jalaaluddin Mohammad Akbar was. Too good. Cant imagine anyone else in the role of Akbar who would have done it better than him in this movie. I have never seen a picture of Akbar.. i dont remember nor I am not sure if there is one. When i thought of Akbar, the a very pale face of Prithviraj Kapoor in Anarkali came into my mind before. But after Jodhaa Akbar, I'd like to think Akbar was more like Hrithik ;) And, for the first time ever I actually liked Aishwarya Rai in a movie. So, thats a first ! She looked very very pretty and played the role of Jodhaa really well. Ashutosh deserves a lot of praise in conceiving the characters of Akbar and Jodha ... the way we see in the movie...the choice of actors and how he brought out the best in them for the context. The chemistry between them is great.

A R Rahman's music is pretty good. A couple of songs are awesome and a real evergreen one's. The background score is superb. Kind of reminded me of the background score of the chinese movie "Hero" but does have a uniquely indian flavor most times that makes it well suited to this movie. All songs are really good. The urdu dialogues ( i took help of my friend to understand them) were very well written and the delivery and timing by Hrithik was superb. There are many good ones in this movie.... my most favorite one being the one where he accepts her 2 conditions for marriage. .... Again the dialogues would have been incomplete orineffective without the accompanying background music..creating a sense of relief and appreciation through music and without words.. !

All the love scenes and the music accompanying them are very sweet and well executed. My favorite song is the "In lamhon ke daman mein" in sonu's lovely voice. And my most favorite sequence happens during the Mann Mohana song.. when Hrithik is at the Diwan-E-Aam and Aish starts to sing, he is just magically drawn to her, mesmerized... and lost in the melody of her voice/song.. Hrithik/Jalaal walks through the various doors in a daze.. curious and eager to see Aish/Jodhaa..And then he sees her unveiled for the very first time.. and is awestruck.. ! "Love at first sight " should I say.. Wow.. I just loved that scene.. :) The background score by AR Rehman is brilliant in this whole sequence...its like a sweet longing musical ballad ... with a classical touch.. Just thinking about it gives me goose bumps.. ! Cant explain in words anymore.. ! You must see it and feel it. The same score is used initially in the song when the bride's party travels to the venue of the marriage and she is travelling in the palanquin.

Anyway.. I am thinking of getting the original DVD. It will be something I will watch many a times in future .... I am sure. Overall its a nice movie. I donno how accurate the story it is as per the historical records.. But I really dont care at this point. Its a well-made sweet romantic movie.. and is definitely worth watching...
