Key Lessons from Suvarillatha Sithirangal

I have not analyzed old Tamil movies. Last night ended up watching a poignant tale that highlights poverty + unemployment + love + prostitution.

Some key lessons

• Marring a wrong partner and ending up jobless with kids
• For a living, the mother ends up in prostitution. When you are unskilled, flesh trade becomes one of the means of living. Education and living on your own are key. 
• Women can be easily exploited if they are not clear about the environment and people they connect with
• Before you propose a girl you should be financially stable
• Very negative portrayal but agreed with the ending. They committed suicide than getting back to prostitution. Focus on efforts, change of place, migrate and find jobs should have been attempted
• Life can be negative as you think or positive as you wish. Everything is born and ends in mind
• One particular scene where between Sudhakar and his fiancee says I don't have anything to share except my body. For the rich, it's a pleasure. In a way, it gave very raw emotions of limits of poverty
• Poverty is a curse. Education is the cure for poverty. All the caste/race/religion that preserves this setup and exploitation needs to be systemically cut through with proper antibiotics called education and affirmative actions
• Everyone who tries to help is portrayed as jobless. This is very unfortunate
• Overall it sums up gender equality = race equality = educational equality. Without these three it's not going to be inclusive growth
• For the rich going to a prostitute is a pleasure. Poor people end up doing prostitution for earning. Not getting proper education can easily end career choices and end up in a pathetic situation
• We cannot justify anything that is immoral. As the old saying lust, land, wealth will take the greed till death
• Life has different perspectives and it takes a moment to slip. You need to think, analyze, plan and live
• Help to achieve quality education, be a source of optimism, faith, and hope. Understand everyone we meet is fighting a hard battle in their life.

Keep thinking!!!
