zindagi na milegi dobara....

....Indeed! How often do we realize this and let the thought just pass over? Think about it - just one life, one life time. You never know what's in tomorrow. We aren't quite living life that ways - at the edge, enjoying, realizing, breathing every moment. I once mentioned, breathing has become a habit for for us. You don't even realize now that you are breathing every moment and the importance of each breadth. It's only when you fall short of breadth do you realize how much it means! We humans generally do that and pretty good at it - treat the most important things in our lives with the least priority, especially when you get it for free and unasked for - be it the breadth or a loved one (well these days it also pays to get love and loved ones.. but generally talking!).

'Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' was a movie after eons where I was smiling throughout - literally! The entire 2.5 hours and it didn't hurt either with my lips that ways for so long. It was indeed a 'low-calorie' movie. It had everything a typical bollywood movie has/should have- all emotions, drama, but nothing was stretched too much. It was kept just right, so tasted yum. It's like you don't realize the taste of salt until it's either less or too much! And when it's just right, you don't have to complain, because it's prefect - you just enjoy it!

Be it Farhan's poetry in the back drop, the lump in his throat when he confronts his father, or Hrithik singing, or the climax copy from "Hitch" - it was all simply fun. (Kehte hain tabhi - "nakal ke liye bhi akal chahiye"!). I sat till THE END and didn't mind sitting for the next show too. But they weren't generous enough;).

A few other things I realized (again) - men are indeed from Mars and women from Venus! We are all together different species and it is indeed very difficult to understand the other. I still don't know why, with the power of communication in us - but it seems difficult, very difficult.

Second of all - life is about living in the moment. You do not know what future holds in for you. Today is all it is. Live as if you are going to die tomorrow. Make someones day, make someone smile - that is how contagious your happiness should be! How many times do we say this to ourselves and then just forget it!

Life is about moving on. If you are stuck, life won't stop for you. You are ruining it for yourself. If nothing works - get a Fastrack - and Move On! :)

No point earning all those dollars if you don't have time to spend it, or people to spend it with. No point if all you do with that hard earned money is spend it on your shrink.

Everything happens for a reason and a good one. The 'good' part often follows very late, but it does. The realization might be very late too, but it does delve in some point if time. And the day it dons, start afresh right then. It's never TOO late.

It is hard to 'let go', but not something that cannot be achieved. We humans are capable of much more than we even realize. It's all in the human mind. Try experimenting. (Dunno how many of us have seen 'The Break Up')

I received a text message a few days ago - it seemed funny, but couldn't be any truer..

Why relationships don't work, or why there are differences/clashes -

Women watch love stories all the time and that's how they expect life to be (all rosy rosy, lovey-dovey).

Men watch porn all the time and that's how they expect life to be (just ohh's and ahh's) :). Who's to blame? No one!

There was another very good bollywood movie I had watched - 'Saathiya'. It was about growing up in love and how things indeed change/have to change for the good. And why just in love, that's all life is about! But who loves change?? Anyone??!!
