MPD = Perfect Man

As many might have found out that media (especially movies) have a great impact on me and I have written quite a few blogs as evidence to the same. This blog is no exception. Yesterday, I watched a wonderful tamil movie called Anniyan. This movie is about MPD (Multiple Personality Disorder). In this movie the protagonist is a meek lawyer who is obsessed with following the rules and despises anybody who does not abide by them. But given his helplessness to do anything against these wrongdoers creates an alter ego in Anniyan who punishes these sinners. In the meantime he also gets another romantic personality to try to woo the love of his life who has rejected his love when he is a meek lawyer.
Ok the next question in your mind is am I giving a movie review. Well I belive if you have this thought then you will be disappointed. But, I must say that I was very impressed by the movie though some of you may like to disagree. Anyways, coming back to the point. There are 2 points I would like to bring to the forefront. First, what in my opinion is MPD and secondly, what I think in my view is a perfect man.
MPD - Everyone of us have different faces. For example, when we pray we take on the face of a pious individual, when we work we take on the face of an intellectual, when we party we take on the face of a party animal and the list goes on. So in effect, we transform to suit the situations. MPD is also pretty much same, but the difference being that the transformation is all of a sudden whereas our transformations are more gradual and that an identity is associated with a face. In MPD, the various personalities may be aware of the other personalities or they may not.
In other words, Orchestration of one of our various faces into an identity is MPD.
MPD = Perfect Man - How does this equation solve? Well, for that as a start you probably need to see the movie. The various characters are
1. A well learned, intelligent, wanting to change the world for better
2. A person changing the world for better, fearless, strong, fighting for the right causes
3. A romantic person who can entertain his love
In my opinion, a mixture of all the 3 identities constitutes a perfect man. Well may be the 3 identity is not that very important (as of now) but the other 2 identities are very important, atleast for me.
May I too be blessed with this kind of MPD.

P.S. - Ishwar, definitely expecting a comment, probably on the contrary (especially on the last point)

not a comment per se ...
this perfect-man-blog reminded me of a joke ...
Once upon a time, a perfect man and a perfect woman met. After a
perfect courtship, they had a perfect wedding. Once while they were driving they noticed santa claus by the road. They took him into the car. Just when they were about to go a huge truck hit the car.Only one of them survived the accident. Who ???
perfect man - cos santa claus is imaginary and so is a perfect woman. :))

Quoting Sundar:
"While we are at it, let me tell you that the Ambi character in "Anniyan" seems to have been inspired by Venix ;)"

Venix = Vivek Venugopal.
