    Humankind has a habit of misusing the word ‘can’t’ once they feel unsatisfied with their lives, but it’s up to them to improve their circumstances. For example, one of the main character, Vladimir, says, “We can’t… We’re waiting for Godot” (Beckett 8). Everything in life is about priorities. Because we can’t have all the things we desire in life, we must make sacrifices. All of the choices we make reflect what we care about most.

    In the film Dil Se we can see a psychotic persona, Amar, who is crazed in love. He falls in love with a girl named Meghna in the first sight.
