Hi Rajesh,

Good continuity to your previous post on LINCHPIN. It’s a nice summary to the movie ’3 Idiots’.

I read an earlier comment if Ranch (in 3 idiots) is a LINCHPIN. It is a good argument (I could agree with some of it). But the reason I would consider Rancho a LINCHPIN is because of making his friends realize their true passion and chase them.

Maybe you have another topic to blog about on LINCHPIN

@Raj, you are in Bangalore and let us connect offline and I will ask Kavitha to lend her copy after she finishes reading it.

@Dave, thank you so much for your kind words.

@Murali, I have watched and loved “The Dead Poet’s Society”

Thank you Rajesh and Bijith for the English translation. Now, I can really enjoy the song and feel it.

I haven’t read Lynchpin, but watched the movie. Its a wonderful movie. Hope all that watched the movie take the essence and live it not just talk about it. It will be a good test to see what all these ’3 idiots’ fans will do when Rancho appears in real life. Do they applaud? Do they appreciate? Do they embrace? or just ignore?

Whether we believe in creationism or evolution or something else, there is a reason each of us are born totally unique. Many of us trade that uniqueness for ‘social likability and acceptance’. Many people relate to 3 idiots and believe they are in fact like Rancho in many ways. That is the greatness of art medium. But in reality, being Rancho is not for everybody. Not definitely for faint hearted.

When was the last time we read a book that was not a best seller or a blog that wasn’t read by anybody else and genuinely thought it was great. When was the last time we just loved a movie that was a total flop and excited to say it. Hope, we all take the message of 3 idiots and have guts to live through it.

You may also like “The Dead Poet’s Society” if you haven’t watched. If you keep all Bollywood magic aside, I feel the same message in the movie.
