Bicentennial man

"I always wanted to make sense out of things..to make a meaning out of what my existence means.. what i represent.. more importantly to be acknowledged"

the movie Directed by Chris Columbus, an old saga of the robot, An android who endeavors to become human as he gradually acquires emotions and further understands key elements of humanity. a beautiful movie indeed which intrigued my thoughts... a robot who learns ... realizes the most important thing as he grows up... "freedom"... on achievement of the sweet pleasure of freedom. he realizes his lifes meaning is nothing as it ends if he is not acknowledged.

I guess his war in life is nothing different from mine.. or maybe many of us. We got life, we learnt as we grew, most times we dont think beyond it. for some we struggle for some sort of independence or freedom, at times merely a financial freedom, emotional freedom, creative freedom, free thinking. many never succeed even at this stage for many it does. some free thinkers go beyond... they realize their life has no meaning unless they stand for some thing. their existence is nulled, unless they are acknowledged for they are born. it does not mean fame or approval but merely acknowledgment of their existence.

I look at my life as i ponder on this thought, i was born, i learnt, i am fighting for my several independence. but i realize even as i fight for my independence of these several sections, i need acknowledgement in this world. for people to remember there lived a man named nidhish, there lived a man who had something to say regarding something. there lived a man who represented something, who fought his life to achieve something.

i am nothing but a bicentennial man, a robot unless i achieve my freedom and get acknowledged !!
