One of the better discussions we've had
This is true blue..something I kept for the record, since both of us lock horns on varied subjects. In hindsight, I believe I was so much engrossed in telling him what I felt rather than respond to him, the conversation becomes one-sided in many places.All the content is left as it is..with spelling errors, and places where smileys were used, are not transported to word files.

Neha Arora [1:38 PM]:am not gonna read about a movie

Neha Arora [1:38 PM]:i have never liked reading until i see it

Neha Arora [1:38 PM]:even a book

Neha Arora [1:38 PM]:i read The Class

Neha Arora [1:38 PM]:Eric Segal

Neha Arora [1:38 PM]:it's some 500 or more pages

Neha Arora [1:39 PM]:liked it

Biprorshee Das [1:39 PM]:Segal usually writes short novels and good ones

Neha Arora [1:39 PM]:this one's a mammoth read

Biprorshee Das [1:40 PM]:Segal got contorted, mutanted, brain dead and Danielle Steele was born

Neha Arora [1:41 PM]:i think three or four novels of sheldon could come out of The Class

Biprorshee Das [1:41 PM]:you like Steele?

Neha Arora [1:42 PM]:nope, no idea about the stuff she writes (i presume it's a she, since i have read it or heard about it from someone)

Neha Arora [1:42 PM]:somehting thriller

Biprorshee Das [1:42 PM]:she is the mother of soap operas

Neha Arora [1:43 PM]:sheldon's novels could be traced to segal

Neha Arora [1:43 PM]:esp The Class

Neha Arora [1:44 PM]:there is a multitude of characters

Neha Arora [1:44 PM]:spinning in and out

Biprorshee Das [1:44 PM]:yes, that is very characteristic of Sheldon. Too many characters

Neha Arora [1:44 PM]:not just that

Neha Arora [1:44 PM]:those typical heart breakign blows in between a smooth happy story

Neha Arora [1:45 PM]:like the couple is smiling,,and has a long run of stability..then a divorce..and towards the end, with separate partners, and happy again

Neha Arora [1:45 PM]:so much so

Biprorshee Das [1:45 PM]::

Biprorshee Das [1:45 PM]:

Biprorshee Das [1:45 PM]:Requiem is well analysed on Wiki. I'd suggest a read once you've watched it

Neha Arora [1:45 PM]:sheldon lives off it

Neha Arora [1:46 PM]:practically on such things

Neha Arora [1:46 PM]:fame, ambition

Neha Arora [1:46 PM]:these things are dealt with such passion n rigour

Biprorshee Das [1:46 PM]:true

Neha Arora [1:47 PM]:it's a state of unhappiness, perpetual toss n turn

Neha Arora [1:47 PM]:they feed it

Biprorshee Das [1:47 PM]:hmm

Neha Arora [1:47 PM]:am sorry, u must think am carried away

Biprorshee Das [1:48 PM]:of course not. i'm glad you have such deep perspectives.

Biprorshee Das [1:48 PM]:i usually do, about something i like or don't passionately

Neha Arora [1:48 PM]:ownership of perspective lies with the author

Neha Arora [1:49 PM]:it's what he t ried in his novel

Neha Arora [1:49 PM]:feed

Biprorshee Das [1:49 PM]:i'd beg to differ there.

Biprorshee Das [1:50 PM]:i'd say as soon as an artist has made his creation public, he has lost his ownership. he has thrown it open to his audience to accepting his creation in the way they are most comfortable. A piece of art, according to me, has no definite route to take but a skeleton key that opens every door it is used for

Neha Arora [1:52 PM]:i don t think so

Neha Arora [1:52 PM]:when i create soemthing

Neha Arora [1:52 PM]:i know why i did it

Neha Arora [1:52 PM]:i knw why i made it the way it is

Neha Arora [1:52 PM]:yes it's open to interpretation

Neha Arora [1:53 PM]:do it

Neha Arora [1:53 PM]:but it's not cognitive

Neha Arora [1:53 PM]:cognizance is mine, if i dare say, u may or may not 'relate'

Biprorshee Das [1:53 PM]:

Biprorshee Das [1:53 PM]:you're right too

Biprorshee Das [1:53 PM]:which again proves my point as well

Biprorshee Das [1:53 PM]:that there is no thing as a wrong notion in art

Neha Arora [1:54 PM]:if i wish to kill my character with the help of her husband

Neha Arora [1:54 PM]:i have made it that way

Neha Arora [1:54 PM]:u may call it page 3 representation, i may have done it thinking something else

Neha Arora [1:54 PM]:someone rich and famous

Neha Arora [1:55 PM]:ownership of perspective lies with the artist

Biprorshee Das [1:55 PM]:i'm not a big advocate of artist's copyrights because i don't think they deserve it. A piece of art shouldn't be anybody's exclusive property because the instinct of creation is natural and hence the end product should be dedicated to the natural cycle of existence as well.

Neha Arora [1:55 PM]:u may fill me up with ur reasons as to why u think the story i wrote was blhab lha blha

Biprorshee Das [1:55 PM]:

Neha Arora [1:56 PM]:but u r a READER

Neha Arora [1:56 PM]:i am the WRITER

Neha Arora [1:56 PM]:i am establishing a heirarchy

Biprorshee Das [1:56 PM]:of course. and being an audience to your creation, i'm giving it worth. and i have a say.

Neha Arora [1:56 PM]:bcz i think the natural instinct to give my thoughts a FORM

Neha Arora [1:56 PM]:A RECOGNIZABLE FORM

Neha Arora [1:57 PM]:is my talent

Biprorshee Das [1:57 PM]:i so hope Plath was alive to see how her poems are being analysed in Literature classes. Maybe she didn't even mean it that way, which I very strongly believe is the case

Neha Arora [1:58 PM]:i will never step over an artist's creation saying The Class is this or that, i may link it to sheldon, but i say sheldon copied segal,,who knows, maybe sheldon didnt'..that's the fun

Neha Arora [1:58 PM]:in fact, in the novel

Neha Arora [1:58 PM]:a famous Odyssessy

Neha Arora [1:58 PM]:Odyssesy

Neha Arora [1:59 PM]:is created by a pianist and a poet

Biprorshee Das [1:59 PM]:of course it's your talent and YOURS alone. You are more talented. You create something and that is your place in the sun. No one can dare take it away from you but talent is your reward to love and nurture further. Your creation according to me, as soon as it leaves your womb is the world's citizen

Neha Arora [1:59 PM]:the critics n audience

Neha Arora [1:59 PM]:audience thrash it

Neha Arora [1:59 PM]:the poet goes insane

Neha Arora [1:59 PM]:and teh pianist is under special insistence of his producer

Biprorshee Das [2:00 PM]:anybody saying, "a piece of art is this or that..." is being arrogant and foolish, I think. What I mean and how I would want to comment is "The way I see it...."

Neha Arora [2:00 PM]:forced to give into a young pianist's creation to "make changes"

Neha Arora [2:00 PM]:and TIME loves it

Neha Arora [2:00 PM]:they r showered with awards

Neha Arora [2:00 PM]:"because it's the public who can relate it to something else they love it

Neha Arora [2:01 PM]:they couldn't like or appreciate

Neha Arora [2:01 PM]:it in the pure form

Biprorshee Das [2:01 PM]:the pianist as a genuine creator will never give into his audience and create what his audience would unanimously love. He will continue to create and abandon his works in the world

Neha Arora [2:01 PM]:he is deemed arrogant

Neha Arora [2:01 PM]:and also

Neha Arora [2:01 PM]:the young pianist claims he is overrated as said in the classroom

Neha Arora [2:02 PM]:where he learnt music

Neha Arora [2:02 PM]: so this pianist of ours, the creater

Biprorshee Das [2:02 PM]:according to me, that is the true creator who loves his talent to create more than his product's acceptance

Neha Arora [2:02 PM]:lives under that, but eventually the awards make him feel great

Biprorshee Das [2:02 PM]:this is a very serious and one of the better discussions we've had

All things bright and Biprorshee
