Bangladeshi village: the amazing beauty of such plain lands without the miuntains, forests, lakes or seabeach!
MY handsome friend @tanzil2024 posted some great pictures of his hometown!
Looking at him, I remember my youth! I was struck with admiration that he was as handsome as I was in my youth!😄
I often imagine that perhaps Hassan is my genetic brother!
A long time ago, @roleerob introduced me to Marwan, a Pakistani native, from whom I could get help and advice about cryptocurrencies and blockchain.
However, as Marwan was a businessman, it was difficult for me to understand his English and sensibility!
By the way, Hassan, from Bangladesh, probably had similar personalities to mine, so his articles were easier to understand!
Because Hassan is a scientist, I felt it was easier for me to understand his thoughts and feelings!
He seemed to have excellent knowledge and understanding of mathematics and science, which are difficult for a humanities student like me!
East Asian men like me are generally attracted to and interested in Indian civilization and culture!
So, I want to introduce Hassan to my favorite Indian movies!
By the way, I guessed that Hassan, being Bangladeshi, might be offended by the fact that I identified him with an Indian!
I hope my friend first understands that common East Asians like me understand Bangladesh and Pakistan as parts of Indian civilization!
Indian films are very popular in my world, but Bangladeshi films are unknown.
It is common for men in the world where I live to be fascinated by the sensuality of Indian beauties!😄
Haathi Mere Saathi
Haathi Mere Saathi (transl. Elephants Are My Companions) is a 1971 Indian Hindi-language drama film, directed by M. A. Thirumugam, with screenplay written by Salim–Javed and dialogues by Inder Raj Anand. The movie has a Disneyesque appeal with an Indian twist. Haathi Mere Saathi was the biggest hit of 1971 going by box office collections, and was also critically acclaimed. The film stars Rajesh Khanna and Tanuja.[1] The film at that point in time was the biggest hit ever made by a South Indian producer in Hindi.[2]
The story was written by producer Sandow M. M. A. Chinnappa Thevar who is of Tamil origin and owned Devar Films in Tamil Nadu. Thevar also played a small cameo in the film. Directed and edited by Thevar's brother M.A.Thirumugham, it had music by Laxmikant-Pyarelal and lyrics by Anand Bakshi. The film was also the first collaboration of Salim-Javed (Salim Khan and Javed Akhtar), who were officially credited as screenplay writers.[3] The film was based on Sandow M. M. A. Chinnappa Thevar's 1967 Tamil movie Deiva Cheyal. After the success of this movie, Thevar remade it in Tamil again in 1972 as Nalla Neram.[4] This film is counted among the 17 consecutive hit films of Rajesh Khanna between 1969 and 1971, by adding the two-hero films Marayada and Andaz to the 15 consecutive solo hits he gave from 1969 to 1971.[5][6]
My favorite Indian movie is Haathi Mere Saathi!
Hassan will know the meaning of Haathi Mere Saathi.
The film became very popular in India, and in the world where I live, it was imported in 1975 and became very popular!
I first saw this movie in 1989.
I first learned about Indian life and culture through the first Indian movie I saw as a child!
The lead actor, Rajesh Khanna, was very handsome and sang well!
In this film, the Hindu faith of Indians, who love and respect elephants as human beings, was very unique!
It was very interesting that the main characters in the movie were elephants, not humans!
The wonderful acting of the elephants made me laugh and cry!
The main character of the film, Raju, has been in love with Ramu since he saved his life.
After being orphaned, Raju is betrayed by friends, relatives and his wife, but is saved by the devoted love of Ramu the elephant.
However, he meets a tragic fate with the death of the elephant Ramu.
While watching the film, I felt a sense of mystery and interest in the Hindu beliefs of India, which are different from Western Christian beliefs!
Is it because I am now a Christian, but my ancestors have been accustomed to Indian Hindu and Buddhist culture for 2000 years?
While watching the movie Haathi Mere Saathi, I asked myself whether India's Hindu civilization, which is distinct from Western Christian civilization, is more familiar to East Asians in the unconscious!
I want to write more thoughts and impressions, but it is difficult due to my poor English writing skills!
So, next time I will tell my friend Hassan more complete thoughts and impressions!😃
PS: I wonder if my friend Hassan will like that movie!
