Mumbai, Sep 16 (IANS) Filmmaker Shekhar Kapur, who is known for films like ‘Bandit Queen’, ‘Elizabeth’, ‘Masoom’, is contemplating on the concept of consciousness and what it entails.
On Monday, the filmmaker took to his Instagram, and shared a note, talking to “wisdom”, and wondering what plane the consciousness operates on, and what are its limits.
He wrote, “What is consciousness? I asked Wisdom. ‘It’s a word that a poet can suggest but does not exist. It’s a note that a symphony can imply but not play”.
By the end of his conversation with wisdom, the director understood that consciousness is as vast as the eternity, and is not completely fathomable to the human mind.
“It’s question that your ego conjures up, but has no answer. Like a drop in an ocean, Shekhar, you’re asking what the ocean of eternity is?”, he added.
Earlier, Shekhar showed his concerns about the growing pollution levels in the national capital. On Wednesday, the filmmaker took to his Instagram, and shared a hazy picture of Delhi’s cityscape blanketed in the smog. He penned a long note in the caption talking about how much times have changed.
He wrote, “Yes, it’s polluted. Yes ,it is not what Delhi was 50 years ago when I lay on the terrace of our house at night and stared at the night sky and could often see the Milky Way. The wondering about the night sky when I asked my mother ‘How far does space go?’ ‘Forever .. my son .. forever’, Those Words. Yes, the terrace of our house in unpolluted Delhi that created the desire, no, not desire but need to tell stories”.
He further mentioned, “For there is no definition, nothing in physics, nothing in our imagination .. that can define ‘forever’ except by telling a story. And so as a kid, overwhelmed by the ‘forevereverness’ of space I said those magic words to myself: ‘Once upon a time’, and have been repeating those words to myself ever since again and again for story telling is our survival kit. It all started lying on my Charpai on the terrace in Delhi. How could I ever forget Delhi? And so this picture of Delhi from the window of my hotel room”.
