Samsara

Samsara means the universe or the world. It also refers to the cycle of reincarnation and rebirth. The movie is kind of inspired by Herman Hesse's Siddhartha. I had some difficulty in understanding the meaning or the essence of the film. Two days after I watched the movie, the meaning slowly sunk into me. The path you take in your life is always determined by some external forces. As it is said in the movie - Do you want to satisfy one thousand desires or do you want to conquer one? You are like the small twing in a river and you are always moving forward.

It is just the direction that matters not the place or events that occur around you. The destination is decided and you just have to reach it.

The movie is worth watching for the scenic beauty of Ladakh and the philosophical overtones.
