Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara

I don't know why I hadn't watched this movie so long. I kind of had an idea about the message the movie might convey, but for some reason avoided watching it. It was last Saturday (3rd August) that I eventually watched it.

Oh boy, I think it was my destiny to not have watched this movie so long and finally to watch now. It had profound effect on me, given my situation and mental state. I think there could not have been better timing. For sure it is going to have some change in my life (however small it may be)

I think most people can relate to many characters in this movie or have been through those situations. What stumped me are the dialogs, the movie has excellent, punching dialogs. Somewhere it felt like the script writer has stolen few dialogs from my life!! I would like to mention one here.

Sieze the day my friend.... pehle is din ko poori tarah jeyo, phir chalis ke bare mein sochna - Laila
So true, isn't it? Sometimes we miss living today worrying about future. So my version of this is - "Sieze the day, because you never know if you are going to wake up tomorrow"

So go ahead, do the things that you are always postponing - strum those strings that you always wanted to on that guitar, play those keys on the keyboard, sing from your heart, dance like you are crazy, write those lines.... don't let someone else spoil the day, because it is your day, you have to make best of it.

There was a plan of bicycle ride with my buddies Sridhar and Karthik on Sunday. The movie elevated my spirits for this ride. And it was friendship day too... what more could I ask for, it was one of the best days of my life. I hope this new found spirit will be part of me until my end.

My friend Satya said, "Shashi, the purpose of our existence is to express, not for survival". This too had great impact on me. May be it deserves another post.

Until then, Yay, life! Express yourself, it is your life, you have to live it.
