So what's this movie all about, that makes me blog about??? There's this portrayal of a condition known as Multiple Personality Disorder , a.k.a MPD..... Yes, u are right, the same condition which is mentioned in Sidney Sheldon's "Tell me your dreams" ,which is a brilliant book...
In case u haven't see this movie, here's the brief outline.....
The movie's about a meek person by name "Ambi", who can't stand the carelessness of people and feels bad that he can't make any difference to the society. Without his knowledge, he transforms into "Anniyan", who punishes the people, who are careless... The story is all about the protogoanist's brush with the law machinery and the movie ends brilliantly, one of the best I've seen....
After seeing this movie umpteen times, it just occurred to me, that this condition is prevalent among every person... Interesting .. ain't it?? First thing, people will vehemontly deny this...Let me prove that this exists.... Just read on!!!
There are many personalities within a single person, a humorous personality, an angry soul (something like our very own angry young man ;-) ), a romantic personality and many others... It can be seen that every person has his/her own mood changes... Now isn't that something like a personality change .... People do have fantasies .. isn't that wanting to turn into some other personality, which they are unable to.....
Let me take a test subject....
As usual, our friendly neighbourhood Software Engineer... somehow, I just can't do without dragging in Software Engineers :-P.. Before u jump to conclusions, Let me re-iterate that I'm also a Software Engineer :D.....
Early morning, this guy is lazy as a sloth .... During the day, he's a professional, talking and behaving like a well-groomed individual.. Catch him with a close friend, he is as humorous as Drew Carrey.... When he's speaking with his parents or someone from his family, he as quiet as a mouse... When with his girl-friend or wife, he is as romantic as Romeo.. When drunk, he's more unpredictable than a monkey.....
Wow!!! isn't this a multiple personality????
I can quote many examples like this... When friends go out on a road trip, where a lot of booze flows and they do get drunk and go crazy.... When the same people go out with their folks the very same evening,they seem like some body else..... Isn't this strange??? The only difference between MPD and this syndrome is that, people are very much aware of changes in their personality ...... Is this voluntary or involuntary??
So what's your personality today???
