Status Updates From Siddhartha

The scene where, Siddhartha requests his father for his permission to join the Samanas is cathartic. His determination to go away and realise his objective and, meanwhile not to defy his father is blended well. His father boosts him with confidence. He asks him to inform his mother about this decision, and begin his journey. If, Siddharta doesn't succeed in his endeavour, he suggests him to join him in his rituals.
