The Inspirations:

Movie : Black.

Dedicate your life to someone who needs it. This is precisely what the movie seemed to communicate.
Reminds me of some psychology lessons, where it is ego, which makes a man take a decision. A decision of life. One fine day you discover enormous amount of ego satisfaction in being present where you feel you are needed most. From a wanderer, you end up seeing your identiy crisis coming to an end. You see roles associated with your name. You feel like grown up, responsible.

"He/She needs me. I have to be there. "

And we arrive there. Keeping everything aside. And life changes.

How pleasant is the pleasure of making the difference in someones life?

Making monstrous sacrifices for the sake of the role that needs you, seems greatness from outside. But it is not. It is NOT, because, it is the want, the desire, the lust, the hunger in all humans of high self esteem to be wanted, craved for, and be a desire in themselves, that makes a human go for such greatness.
Motherhood, the purest form of love, is a depiction of that. The child needs her and she is there. Nothing satisfies a human like perhaps satisfaction of satisfying someone.

So it is the ego satisfaction that comes from being wanted, needed and craved for, that makes a person present where he is needed. People like me go on to the extent of generating such need in another human being to derive continous satisfaction of being wanted.

The greatness of the movie is, when Amitabh Bachhan, knowing fully well that he has a need to satisfy, leaves it aside, because of his decreasing capability of being of much help, and leaves his student alone.

True, a Godly act. Even God, like that character, is with us everytime we need him. And is NOT with us, when we need Him Not. It is God who like a very wise parent, Knows, when we need that arm of support, and when not. It is Him, also, who knows, when to leave us alone, so that we know how to be on our own, and independent.

Great great lesson the movie taught me.
