Just watched this movie called Yatra. Did not feel very inspired by the movie, though I deeply felt about one aspect. There is a scene where Nana Patekar goes to RajGhat. He puts a fact across that 4000 farmers have committed suicide in recent times. Its not that I did not know of this statistic. What actually surprised me is that I continue to live as if nothing happens around me. I started to wonder if this was indeed normal. How was it that in times before independence, a person called Ambedkar actually fought for welfare of people around him (when he could lived a life of material happiness). It has become common for to change a TV channel in case we see a news item of farmer suicide. We continue to celebrate a function in home, even though thousands of people would have died in tsunami. We are evolving back to become animals, where in life goes on inspite of loss of life around. This was also a point made in the movie.
This life where we do not care for people who live around us is something I cannot explain.
