Every one must be his own scavenger.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Crisp, skillfully crafted, soul stirring and shaming the foundations of neo-liberal establishments, "Cutting off a Lifeline", a film by Saraswati Kavula explains how we have destroyed the lifeline of Hyderabad, by destroying the Musi River.
The screenplay and script of the movie prods us to question our fundamentals and the mad rush we are chasing in our day to day lives.
It showcases the lopsided vision of our leaders and 'lets make a quick buck' corporation.
It slams the present day silo-ed approach to solving problems.
It slams the present day silo-ed approach to solving problems.
The fate of Musi River is similar to the fate of most of the Rivers in other mega-cities of our country.
We have still not learnt our lessons. We in our cities are living off the resources from surrounding villages. It is bad debt model of growth.
Do watch this film, if you are re-thinking for long to change the very nature of living.
Do watch it, if you are looking to solve a fairly large problem through technology and people at its core.
The film essentially is a waking call to re-look, re-think and unlearn some of our daily habits in favor of building a better future not just for ourselves but also for everyone who is a part of this fabric called Earth.

Mahatma Gandhi keeps coming back to teach his lessons time and again.
