CHILDREN

If parents shower love on their children, the grandparents do it to the max. If a wife or husband comes along to spice up our lives, children can spruce up our lives and truly bring joy and bliss to an otherwise dry and arid life. They are like the rain showers that dampen and wet us in joy and bliss. They are the light in a dark room. They are the breeze that brushes across our faces. They are the lasting aroma in the air and in our memories. They are the very space in which every worry and fear is forgotten.

Young Director Suyorukun through his short film brings us the message that "Life is strange. It takes sadness to know happiness. It takes absence to value presence." He drives the message across that you need one to know the other.

Through the lead actress in this film, he shares our regret that "I've made countless regretful mistakes in my life." But he pacifies us telling us that it is never too late to bring a change at least towards the end and in the ending. "I can't go back and change the beginning but I can start over and change the ending."


If there is nothing much we can do about our fate, we surely can try changing our destiny. All we need is some help, from some loving people and from the divine. Making friends with them shall bring the Prapanjam to shower all our asking. The Prapanjam shall as a means of payback, task us to help others in return, which we shall willingly do. We drop our individual purpose and take on a bigger purpose. We then have lived life fully.
