Untolerable vision of the Society....

Recently I finished reading one of the most famous love story's of all time "A walk to Remember".I started reading this series contemplating something that would touch my heart as I had heard a lot about the same movie but never got a chance to view it.But quite unfortunately,I felt completely letdown in the manner things proceeded in the end.

It was something like "There is a boy and a girl who didn't initially paid heed to one another, then as things starts turning around they become friends and gradually lovers,then to bring some sort of spice towards the end the writer announces that the girl suffers from a leukemia and eventually dies leaving the guy remembering her forever."

Now what kind of a crap is this...I just completely and absolutely disagree with such plot.If you want to add some kind of masala ,these writers have just one solution.Name one grave disease and the audience will be attracted towards it. After all, it emotionally connects the audience with the story. But my dear, story and reality is completely different. I was always under the impression that only Indians lack the basic knowledge in medicine but it is quite sad that the same condition is prevailing in other parts of the world too.Let me tell these writers and everyone else that sitting in a chair at your workplace,dining room or bed room and writing about such diseases and spreading negativity is very easy.Nobody is interested in finding out the reality. If you really are interested in finding out the truth ,take some pain and visit the real patients, hospitals and if you cant do this much then atleast you can surf the net on this issue and find out the reality. You will find that not only are these kind of diseases completely curable but they also lead a healthy and normal life afterwards. But the main problem is that nobody will go to facts,people are more likely to read interesting stories such as this one rather than a document showing them the actual stats.It is for this very reason that till date the awareness hasnt grown.

If you ask me its a real shame on the part of the writers who themselves lack knowledge and through their so-called "bestsellers" convey wrong message to others also.Remember,for diseases such as leukemia, cancer etc if you think that death is the ultimate destination and the road to destination is pain and suffering then you are completely out of this world .

I know I blurted out openly today, but its necessary sometimes.It is really painful to see such hopeless stories which are so hit among people.These gullible creatures never bother to broaden their parochial scope of vision.GROW UP PEOPLE!!

  1. Hi neelima.. I think its up to you what you interpret from a story. I feel its a very nice story and true in all senses.The important thing in the story is love, which surpasses all the negativity of life..the fatal disease for example. I am impressed with the positive attitude... but the story is not at all about disease..it is about love.. but again its all up to reader.

    Cheers..
