Philosophy
Philosophy is the study of the general and fundamental nature of reality, existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. The Ancient Greek word φιλοσοφία (philosophia) was probably coined by Pythagoras and literally means "love of wisdom" or "friend of wisdom". Philosophy has been divided into many sub-fields. It has been divided chronologically (e.g., ancient and modern); by topic (the major topics being epistemology, logic, metaphysics, ethics, and aesthetics); and by style (e.g., analytic philosophy).
As a method, philosophy is often distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its questioning, critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument. As a noun, the term "philosophy" can refer to any body of knowledge. Historically, these bodies of knowledge were commonly divided into natural philosophy, moral philosophy, and metaphysical philosophy. In casual speech, the term can refer to any of "the most basic beliefs, concepts, and attitudes of an individual or group," (e.g., "Dr. Smith's philosophy of parenting").

Kash (film)
Kash (meaning:Puff) is a 2014 indie feature film directed by Souman Bose with Subholina Sen and Souman Bose playing the lead roles.
Plot
Kashi Mehrothra, a youth in his early twenties is heavily influenced by Ram Sen, A "proletariat" who used to make a living by selling biris (small Indian cigarettes) and within a span of few years evolved into a huge capitalist. Ram Sen preached: "বিড়ি উন্নতির শিরি !" (meaning: "Indian cigar is the staircase to success!") Kashi Mehrothra, was heavily influenced by his philosophy as an adolescent. He thought, if a man devoid of any formal education could do so much,he could do all this and more with a more sophisticated intoxicant-per say, a cigarette. Hence, his fantasies of being the "Cigarette King" of India started taking over. He got so much into cigarettes, his friends started calling him Kash, which means a puff or a drag of smoke. Motherless Kash, despite being born into an affluent business family relates more to the Proletarian philosophies. He goes on a journey trying to make his bizarre ambition of opening a cigarette factory. Meanwhile, other forces are at work. And Kashi Mehrothra's melancholic life transforms into a topsy turvy journey, where his life is threatened by creatures from the super natural realm, viz. Jack Ketch. Kash is a story of that journey. A political satire. A horror tale. And all the drama behind a little puff of smoke.
