The stories having the same theme and plots are boring to read. Likewise scripts of leela, drama and cinema having the same theme of mother in law and sister in law being engaged in squabbles have become outdated. Films should attempt to inculcate in the minds of young men to nurture sacrificial spirit and also to work for the cause of a better society. Writers as they write fictions should see to it that characters in the stories compete in carrying out good deeds. If they find solace in creating plots and suspense where brothers of same blood lock in duel there is nothing wrong in creating scene where brothers compete in showing love to each other. After all, the entire story is their own creation. Brothers love very much these days extending help to each other when one is in need of other. In real life no brother disowns brother. Yet brothers fight in cinema, leela and drama. The story instead of focussing on family, could centre on the ailments that have afflicted the society. In real life too many families have landed in trouble when one of the youngsters has been way laid. A family had to sell away homestead land to pay compensation to a married man when one of the brothers in a poor family eloped with the former wife. The jilted husband demanded Rs five lakhs as compensation for the damage done to him. Later after negotiation the amount was fixed at Rs 60,000 but the poor family could not afford the demand so the homestead land had to be sold away. Such story will not only be entertaining but also educate the masses on what one should do or not. Instead of writing about family feud such incident could be picked up as the theme of the story. Likewise sisters in law can compete in showing love to their mother in law. That will be entertaining. Old men when they are asked which film evoke amusement they say we want to be entertained. On Sundays and holidays elderly people and office goers desire to rest and they want the morning to begin with entertaining stories. This is one area, which requires attention of all concerned. Manipur desperately needs entertainment. Troubled mind cannot be tormented with fictitious sad stories of well to do elder brother disowning younger brothers and poor parents. Such stories are fed up to hear. Do not write such story again. They are not only boring to read but also create anxiety and rob peace of mind from the innocent men and women. Instead of pointing out the wrongs done by brother why not focus on the wrongs done by the higher ups. In attempting to correct the wrongs done by higher ups a message will be sent that will be like holy water of holy river Ganga. Like the water flowing towards the low lying areas the wrongs done by the higher up penetrate in the minds of the innocent people that spoil the society. Spare family, focus on other aspects of life.
