Review of (Audience of) 3 idiots
A typical person applauding the movie " 3 idiots ", belongs to the age group of 18-80 years, male/female, average educated, highly opinionated and overtly hypocritical.
I had my first eye opening experience with this person, I guess, at the age of 13.
I wished that would be my only eye opening experience, but, my eyes were opened hundreds of times, all through my life.
Interaction with that person goes like this:
Me as a kid and teen:
Dad : You are an intelligent kid. Why r u getting poor marks?
Me : I dont care for marks.
Dad : Shut up idiot. Live in reality.
specific friend : My mom wants to know how you got 100/100 in math (in 7th class)
me : just like that.
specific friend : because of the math guide your dad bought?
me : I didnt even open that book.
specific friend : I want that book
me : take it.
( remember this guy)
Teacher to principal : Vamsee reads degree level books and asks me questions. I am not able to handle him.
principal to me : What do you think of yourself? u think u r a knife? u think u r a thope. Idiot. live in reality. How much you got in languages?
me : 50. Just pass (giggling)
principal : idiot. no body cares how much you got in math and science. Total is important.
me : I dont care.
Dad : whats your total?
me : Not much. got max in science and math.
Dad : How can I face the society now. idiot. live in reality.
in college:
Friend : I can't be your friend anymore.
me : why?
Friend : You dont believe in god. And, your arguments make me really insecure
me : dude..why don't you go and screw yourself. Okay??
me : what you doing?
freind : reading math.
me : reading math?
friend : ya..reading math.
me : reading..... math???
friend : I will be the one in BITS pilani..and you will be the one in bits and pieces.
me : No. I study with passion to know stuff. Not for your stupid marks.
dad : so, out of all the thousands of your vignan residential college friends, you are the only one who ran out, and then you didnt get seat in ramayya and krishayya, and then you barely passed out your inter, goin to college as a tourist, became a fat fuck, watched stupid movies, didnt get a seat in yaamcet, and I wonder how once a brilliant student destroyed his life. How can i show my face to my colleagues, whose son's are studying in IIT's,pilani, Ranchis and Rookie....btw, what happend to ranchi exam..
me : I went to bharathiyudu movie.( I am done with your BS)
dad : I really wish you were not born. (gummadi drama)
mom and sis : great! awesome! Now you aaapset our great dad.(psychological dependency)
specific friend : LMAO! How come our great intelligent non-mugging vamsee failed to beat even EAMCET?
me : You came all way....after 5 years of non-contact, to say that, dont you?
specific friend : Yes..hahahhaha..
( While writing this, I kind of realised that, I somehow created jealousy among people, since 5th class to till this day. How? why? Thats surprising, considering, I haven't achieved any materialistic achievements.)
Hostel owner : Your son, he is a devil. He spoils every one here. He is the leader of these 3 idiots, and they destroyed the whole hostel last night. I don't want to call the police. Please take him away.
dad : God, when will this end?
me : Dad, god is dead.
As an adult:
me : dude..marks are not important....passion is important....living life is important...drinking is important...fighting for friendship is important.
friend : I will get seat in the best of american universities, and you...I dont know
get drunk..and live on the streets. I am predicting that.
college commitee : So, who started the fight?
me : caste,class and alcohol started it. and this committee is a farce.
cc : we can screw your life.
me : degree is not life.
friend: dude..thanks for completing my project man.
me : dont embarrass me dude....I liked the concept.
me : dude ..how can you work a passionless, monotonous 8 to 5 jobs. life is much more ..than money..
friend : I went to las vegas, hawaii, niagara falls..I enjoy my life..more than you..
me : u went there as a tourist, to take pics of yourself, so that you can convince yourself that you are enjoying..no man..tourists suck. Life is a vacation dude..
me : green card is like a voluntary jail.
friend : india is no better.
me : its not about india dude..its about freeing your mind.
friend : america is the greatest country in the world.
me : only when its trickles down! blood of others..that is.
friend : how much money u got in your bank?
me : -500 dollars.
friend : u seee??
me : what see?? whats your point?
friend : vamsee, you are the only one who remembered me, and came to my marriage, irrespective of financial and social status...
me : friendship is forever, my friend. (with dramatic air)
PRESENT
sister: you are crazy 10 years back..crazy now
me : then, why the hell r u surprised??
Dad : you are crazy then, you are crazy now
me : boooring...
Dad : you know what sharukhan said..
me : he is a loser..dont tell me about him
dad : u better than sharukhan??
me : no. But, you know why you are talking about khan? because he is an actor?? there are much better actors than shahrukhan. But, you only want to talk abt him because he is rich...stinking rich..and you talk about bill gates, not because he is a good programmer or even a nice human being, you talk about him because, he is rich.you talk greatness about america not because of its liberties or its good things, u talk abt it because it is rich..you talk about narayana murthy because he is rich..u talk about software because it has money,u eulogize in your mind about buddha and gandhi, but u never talk abt them to me..no you dont! khan can go to hell..I dont care
Dad : LIVE IN REALITY.
ME : wait. Are "YOU" talking about "MY" reality?? THE ONLY REALITY THERE IS --- IS MY HAPPINESS.
dad : Mad people are the most happiest people.
me : the only mad person is the person who wants to control other peoples lives..
dad: marriage...blah..blah..
me : you want to marry off your bad mad son and destroy a woman's life???
sister : A pig loves to live in mud..and it makes it verrrrrrry happy.
me : you got a problem with that..
sister : no..I am just concerned about scabies, ring worm and itching. thats all.
me : dermatologists are there for a reason.
friends,colleagues,acquaintances,relatives,mom,sis,dad : So, u want to start a company, good. Atleast be successful in that. You want to make a movie.good.be successful in that.and make money.
me : I dont care a damn about money and success. I want to enjoy the process. Thats what makes me happy.
friends : what about your kids, wife and responsibilities.
me : I dont think of them as "responsibilities". The best thing you can do for your kids is give love, give direction and then leave them the fuck alone.
relative : you say u dont care about money. Now, u r fighting with me for money.
me : no, I am fighting for justice.
friend : kya re..please tell me..r u taking drugs.
me : dude..the last time I smoked weed is exactly one year back
friend : u always think different re..u will suffer..this society is cruel..
friends,colleagues,acquaintances,mom,sis,dad: What do you want to do now?
me : I have only one life to live, and I wanna live it fully. I want to create great software, I want learn film making and make movies, I want to read physics and math..and all the great books, I wanna live with poor, I wanna fish with fishermen, I want to live with rich people, I want to love, I want to sleep, I want to eat great food, I want to travel by trains, I want to meet all the people, I want to write, I want to travel the world and live everywhere, I want to watch movies, I want to smoke some weed, I want to meet great souls,enjoy the music, enjoy the arts, fight for justice, watch the sky, enjoy the rain.I want to live a life. I want to be happy.
(sound of phone hanging up on the other side)
relative : Whats your plan B?
me : There is no plan A in the first place.
people : After 10 years, u will regret.
me : there is a possibility..but I dont want to miss today for that lottery.
me : We all die in the end or in the middle. Today is the only thing that is real.
follow your heart, right now. Ignore your mind.
FUTURE
majority : We told ya.
me : No. I told ya.
On death bed
friend : this is it, my friend.
me : this is it, my friend.

Now, all these people are applauding Aamir Khan's character. You know why? Because, the real human being in them wants to be like him. But they can't, because, society is like jungle..right?? and they want to live like an animal, fighting for survival, living in fears, working from pay check to pay check, dreaming a future but screwing up their present, selling their souls, screwing other people, and losing themselves. When they see a person like aamir's character in real life, oh no, they hate him.They hate his guts. They want to stop him, ridicule him, gossip about him, and finally calling him crazy...because..if they dont call him crazy..thats means they themselves are crazy.
No. I am not on a moral high ground than you. I just want to tell the truth..even if it appears to be immodest. I have to say one thing though, I am no better than anybody. Because, I understand the psychological process which made us what we are.
A family is a microcosm of the society, and all the battles start from there...and I guess, I just did a public service ;)
But, my dear society, I forgive you for calling me names. Because, I feel bad for you and forgiveness gives me peace. No enemies for me any more.No hard feelings either.
and you know what...
ALL IZ WELL.

and yes I can always claim : i've known a free man.
"dad: marriage...blah..blah..
me : you want to marry off your bad mad son and destroy a woman's life???"
ROFLed....
and, i second creative shocker...
ShockCreator, are online promises valid under international court of law? ;)
Now, I have to try very hard to live up to that, I mean if you mean it in a positive way. Then more I try to be free, more I will be struggling...
flowers not accepted here..
AS, he was lying. I am very costly.
contact me for the latest going rate to sell my soul ;)

tarun, thanks for the suggestion.
but I dont want to achieve anything to feel the disappointment..just wanna watch my fav directors directing...that is in itself is the goal...help needed in that regard.
Vamsee
Thats a great post. I still cant beleive you REALLY lived like that, if so hats off to you. And yes, what you said is 100% correct. People love persons in fantasies and hate persons in reality. A simple example is that my mother loves Abhinandana movie a lot but when I loved a girl, she couldn't accept and cried a lot. One is suffering for his own boundaries and blaming it on virtual society
This screenplay is much awesome compared to Rajkumar hirani's..............I love you dude
Woaaah!!! Awesome post.
Loved these lines:
friends : what about your kids, wife and responsibilities.
me : I dont think of them as "responsibilities". The best thing you can do for your kids is give love, give direction and then leave them the fuck alone.
me : dude..marks are not important....passion is important....living life is important...drinking is important...fighting for friendship is important.
Hats of to you man!! You sure will make one helluva film maker.
Vamsee anna,
I really cant believe you lived and living and will live like you wish. Yes, you are really living, me surviving...thanks for the post.
That, was simply brilliant.
