Apna time aayega.. :-)


Watched "Gully Boy" and I have to say it's one of the best movies I have seen in a while.. It's the story of the struggles of a guy who tries to break the shackles and against all odds makes a name for himself as a rap sensation.. This movie had everything that your average bollywood movie has.. Good looking actors/actresses, romance, comedy, songs, drama, and most importantly - an inspiring message..

We all like the real life stories of how the successful men and women never had it easy but succeeded despite all odds.. We try to draw inspiration from these 'success stories'.. For me this film was inspiring on so many levels.. It was inspiring to see how the protagonist turned his pain into beauty through his lyrics and rap.. Despite not having much support the protagonist grabbed the rare opportunities that came his way and tried to make an impact.. The most scene or the 'climax' for me was when the guy's father tells him that he is poor.. That's the reality.. And so his 'dreams' should 'match' his reality.. Then when the protagonist shows him his videos online and the feedback and tells him, that he has influenced people around..and that he has an identity.. He matters.. And he will work towards changing his 'reality' so that his dreams of making it big, match with his 'reality'..

That scene was very inspiring.. Because so many times I have let other people's opinion about me lose faith in myself.. I now realise that it's okay for other people to have an opinion about me or my life.. But I shouldn't let it get in the way of my work or my living my life on my terms.. I have a friend who constantly tells me that if I don't love myself, no one else will.. So the trick is to love yourself think you're the best and take it from there.. And to all those who feel hopeless or negative at times, remember that "You exist, therefore you matter".. Also you are the best there is.. Let no one tell you otherwise.. Be the light in the world and don't let anyone dull your shine.. And always believe in yourself.. Kyunki apna time aayega!!

Happy Birthday Mummy :-)

Today would've been Mummy's 64th birthday had she been here with us.. However like she said, it's always the best people that get called to heaven early on.. So she's celebrating her birthday in heaven along with my brother..  My Mummy was a wonderful woman who enjoyed the simple pleasures of life.. a homecooked meal, reading books, stitching, embroidery, knitting and she loved tea and had endless cups of tea in a day..  She was an excellent cook and enjoyed cooking for her family.. Even when she made normal stuff like maggi it tasted just out of this world..  So I inherited none of her homely' hobbies, but I inherited her love for books.. She was a well read woman and had an excellent memory.. And she was an excellent teacher and was well respected and loved by all her students.. She was strict with me and my brother.. More so with me.. She had high expectations of me and growing up I had very little margin for error.. I used to resent it that she was so strict and...

Types of friends we all have.. (A friendship day special post)

First of all, a very happy Friendship day to all of you.. I think you have read enough quotes and seen enough reels depicting the importance of friends/friendship in our lives so I won't give you any more 'gyan' on the subject.. But the occasion calls for a customary blog post so I decided to pen down a few thoughts.. I've come a long way from being that naive girl who believed that 'Friendship is forever'.. "Friends forever" is something I scoff at now.. that's probably the cynic in me speaking.. But I've also come to realise that people come into your life at the exact point in time when you need them.. These people turn into friends and then long after they're gone still stay in your life albeit just as memories, but not without leaving a lasting impression on you..   Today I take this opportunity to thank all these different types of friends (some of who are still in my life and some who are not) who decided to adopt me as their friend ...

RAAZ PICHLE JANAM KA

A popular channel is telecasting a prog wherein a person is helped, to find out the reason for his/her problems by going into his/her past life through hypnosis. i was told about the concept of the programme by a colleague. even though i hadnt watched the programme just the description of the programme sent shivers down my spine.. although when i actually watched the programme i was bitterly disappointed. the programme was exactly how she described.. the person being taken back into his past to try and locate that particular instant in his life that left a lasting impact on the person.. The plot till here is ok.. but i just dont seem to understand how an incident can have a lasting impact so deep that it penetrates through the future births of the person too.. a little over the top i should say.. The concept of re birth has been debated over the years.. a lot of research too has gone into this field.. and a whole lot of people can vouch for the fact that sucha thing does exist.. i resp...
