Satyakaam

Watched Hrishida's Satyakaam yesterday. It has been more than 5 years when a cousin had told me that the way I am proceeding in life, I will end up like Dharmendra of Satyakaam.

I am no Satyapriya (Dharmendra) and I gave up the desire to be Satyapriya long back. However, it should not be mistaken that I deride the Satyapriyas around or think they are fools or insensible people. The plight of a Satyapriya is a constant reminder of the basic contradiction of life and the society we live in. That a Satyapriya cannot survive in our society is not to be mistaken as the failure of the satyapriya, but the failure of our society to inhabit a Satyapriya...

As I said, I gave up the desire to be a Satyapriya long back, I desire now to make a society where another individual does not have to compromise his stance to be a Satyapriya...
