Dedicated to our Jumanjee

For the Bicentennial Robin Williams,
Movie Review
'The Bicentennial Influence'

"The Bicentennial Man" is a wonderful movie that depicts the emotions of a robot who desires to be human. As a unique robot, at first his curiosity drives him to be like a human and later his love for the lady inspires him to be the better half of his love. In contradiction of the usual expectation in a sci-fi movie about robotics, the robot in 'The Bicentennial Man' does not develop into villain from his technologically enhanced human desire. Instead, he desires to be mortal like that of a human. His taste of humanness grooms from his desire of being clothed, having a bank account, need for freedom, and willingness to invest in robotic research. After having all that he desired he seeks for the company of robots like him. He voyages all around the earth to find another 'Andrew' but there isn't even one like him. In this journey he encounters with a genius but financially poor robotic engineer whom he funds well enough to help in his research to change the appearance of a robot into human. Andrew gets human look (with human parts) from the help of his engineer friend and gradually he also inculcates artificial nervous system, bodily senses, capability to have appetite, quality of ageing and finally achieves mortality. The latter development in him was driven by his desire to get the love of his lady who equally loves him back. However, his main struggle in the film is to gain 'human status' from the world committee so that his marriage with his love becomes socially and legally acceptable. The movie brings tears in our eyes to finally reveal whether he gains the human status or not.

Are you abnormally normal?

Are you abnormally normal?

Well, there's no any particular reason to start this blog, to be frank, I'm not even so good at English-writing, (doesn't mean that I am good at my own native-writing), nor have I any hopes of attracting viewers (No, I'm lying) ... well, why would anyone want to know why I'm starting a blog. For a matter of fact, even I am not sure.

Now, as I have started it, how do I make it look better? Where do I fill options? Where do I post pictures? How do I make friends follow? Man, Facebook was so damn easy! 

I almost gave up after finishing my 1st  bizarre post. But, I think a second post wouldn't do much harm. 

Life, at this moment feels so incomplete. But why? Because everything is alright. I have a small family, just like every middle-class South-Asian parents they pay for my college fee and I have no complains about it,  I am single in my 20's and even if I was not I'm not allowed to reveal it in public, I have got nice set of relatives, cool cousins and friends to hang out with, I did not have rough childhood nor I have any big crisis, I have average grades and every other thing in life looks so normal. But, in this normal-ity I feel so abnormal. I feel un-happy. I wonder if that happens to others as well. Just sometimes, do you feel the same way?

In this bizarre world full of complexities, I believe writing is one of the way you can start un-complicating things.
