OB LEARNING MOTIVATION LEADERSHIP PERSONALITY STRESS
MOTIVATION Motivation is nothing but setting a trend which our successors follow . In the present movie Kalyani and Narayan make a new trend of breaking the restrictions of the traditions of those times. Narayan motivates Kalyani to become free from the bondage of old customs and tradition and inspires her to get married to him.
LEADERSHIP The character of Madhumati reflect on the negative side of leadership whereas the character of narayan represent positive side and good quality of leadership. From this examples of leaders we understand that whenever we get an opportunity to lead we should influence others in a positive way so that one could get the right path of success and not a wrong like Kalyani. It also reflect that one should not do injustice with others if one cannot make others life.
PERSONALITY The personality of Narayan reflects on a well- balance personality and honest person. His behaviour is that of a gentlemen and he is emotionally balanced person. He is a good motivator and a very four-sided person and co-operation in nature. This character of Narayan helps us to develop good personality traits.
STRESS This movie is based on odd situation or unhappy situation of life and hence throughout the movie we find or we experience stressful situation. Widows are expected to lead a monotonous life until there dying day. Kalyani was frustated by her life as she was forced to prostitute.
CONCLUSION While mehtas film is certainly more than a polemic against religious system, its nonetheless too easy to process. The penultimate finale may draw tears, but the massage drowns in a moralistic well of cheap emotion considering the continuing oppression of modern widows, water should offer something more than a digestible sermon.
