Group Dynamics 101
This weekend I had a very involved discussion with Rishi about the movie Rang De Basanti. Cool movie and all that, but I really liked what he had to say about the movie. And the biggest thing that we agreed upon was the brilliant group dynamics between the five main characters of the movie. And that got me thinking, what really is the main constituent of such brilliant, life changing and life-long lasting friendship circles???
Rishi did bring it to my notice that the kind of relationship those guys in the movie shared was indeed very similar to what Kunal, Bhushan, Vidya and Rishi shared during their undergrad years. Since then, I have been trying to find that little connection that he was so passionately talking about. I wondered what made both of these groups of friends so special. Comparing the two groups and my current group of friends, I realized what the most important constituent of brilliant group dynamics is. Its a VERY SWEET GIRL.
Vidya is no doubt the "very sweet girl" in Rishi's group and the character played by Soha Ali Khan was the same in Rang De Basanti's group of people. And the lack of a group feeling in my current group is explained by the absence of any such "very sweet girl". (Please don't get me wrong on this. What I say is supposed to be a very subjective opinion, and the subject is "my thinking". It may not be the truth, and is most definitely not the whole complete picture.) I am not very sure how to define a phenomenon like "a very sweet girl". But looking at the people I have met in life, the people whom I recognize as "very sweet girls" have always built a strong bond of friendship within their groups. Sandhya Rao is one such person. I remember how she dominated the attention of all her friends in my sister's group and really held it together. Nithya from Junior college was also another such person, very vibrant, spontaneous, and full of life. Each of these persons has convinced me to believe that to have a great friends' circle, you need to find the right girl to start off with. Thats what determines the winning combination.
