What you don’t see…

By Rajesh Setty on Mon 05 May 2008, 10:25 PM - 1 Comment

What you see is typically a very small part when compared to what you don’t see.

Let me take an example of a Kannada song – Jothe Jotheyali (means Together)

(Since most of you may not understand the language, please only look at the first minute of the song in both the clips below)

Here is the clip from the movie

The above is what you see in the foreground.

Now, let us turn to the background. I will take just the “music” part of the movie. Here is the same song in a studio with the complete music gang in the background

As I said earlier, this is only the music part. You can add the camera crew, costume designers, director, assistant directors, make-up artists and so on..

Life is the same way. There is only so much visible in the foreground. So much more is in the background. Unless you have the maturity to “see the background” without actually seeing it, you may have missed a large part of what is in front of you.

What you don’t see is equally or more important than what you see sometimes.

Can’t agree with you more. Life is 90% in “background” and 10% in “foreground”. Like the cliche’, “never judge the book by the cover”, i have learnt with difficulty not to judge the whole by the foreground….esp ppl’s way of presenting/communicating any subject,

That song from “Geetha” is an everlasting love song. Any kannadiga would vouch for it. Good example!
