Do I need to see a psychiatrist?
Past few days, my mind has been yearning for something that others find very weird, which I personally find not even remotely weird, at least till I get out of this phase. It was all getting built up bit by bit for quite sometime now, and reached a crescendo after watching Nagesh Kukunoor’s Iqbal. Not that I am a masochist, not that I have never dreamt of driving a Ferrari out of my bungalow in Zurich, not that I abhor capitalism (though I don’t admire it either), but it’s just that I am getting this feeling for the first time and believe me, I am finding it all very romantic. That scene in Iqbal, where the mother is cooking some rukha sukha in some dilapidated earthen pots in the kitchen, or to say a thatched confinement separated from the rest of the house by a boundary of mud-stuck bricks, has become my dream. I find my well furnished flat, with marble floorings in the kitchen so very trite or if not an exaggeration, egregious. I have this itching desire to have sukhi roti in that confinement with the mud-plastered floor, wearing very ordinary clothes, if not tattered ones. I find all these so exciting that I have made it a point in my mind to experience all these some day. People might just say - had I actually been born in such a surrounding, I would have realized the difficulty of such a life. But apart from this fantasy of mine, I have begun to detest my fortunes of having all the luxuries at my side. It suffocates me at times. I don’t remember taking a plunge into the pond of the countryside for a bath. God, am I so unfortunate to spend all my life taking bath with that stupid hand shower in my bathroom? Will I continue to drive on the sick roads, or will I get the opportunity to run bare foot on the dew soaked grass of the field. Will I continue to punish myself with the useless burgers, or will I be fortunate enough to sip some freshly milked milk. Am I destined to meet only professional people or is someone as pure as Khadija (played by Shweta Prasad in Iqbal) going to intercept me. The list is endless. Am I being whacky? I guess I am not.

Nice shashi ...
really i think the movie really had some part which could touch anybody's heart .. but I am more unfortunate than your are .. i have been in village for 4 years contineously and you know one who has got the taste of something misses it more.... infact i aim to go and live in a peaceful surrounding like that forever... rest u know me.. but really well written (as usual)....

I can understand your feeling, which is very well expressed. I had my village connections with, so I have actually seen the best of both the worlds. Villages are so pure, and peaceful, that once you be there, it is very difficult to have the same enjoyment any wehere else.

I haven't seen Iqbal. Though,I can relate to what's said here. But villages are not all pure and peace...there is poverty and pain, there is crime and greed...and you will rarely see life...
So, life is not restrcited to any particular place, it exists within. Peace and purity lies within - and u can find it any where in this universe, u need to sense and feel it.
Happiness doesn't come just by driving on concrete roads or by running on green grasses, it is a state of mind, and u can achieve it anywhere - as long as u don't crave for what u don't have. The difference between the "have and don't have" is quite wide - its the way you try to gauge.
Thank the Almighty God for blessing u with all that u have...U will find Khadija in just about any corner of this world, if only u can see her...

Hmmm, 'we usually crave for what we don't have' - very true. I am impressed by your comment and would really appreciate if you could reveal your identity.
