People come into your life for ....

Image
Disclaimer: This is not my writing, One of my friends had mailed this to me. I am posting this here, since it touched me deeply. People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then,something happens, the relationship comes to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes you are forced to make some hard decisions. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has com...

The Downward Trend Continues...

Image
Its been one of those weeks. Where nothing seems to go right in your life. Be it work. Your personal life. Your health. The World's Financial Situation. Everything just goes one way. DOWN. No matter how hard you try, No matter what you do, Things just go the opposite way. It seems that fate/destiny (which I dont believe in) is on a mission to screw you. Why do I say this. The week started off with a continuation from the left over stresses of last week. I was emotionally bugged and fed up with my life. So as always I was day dreaming. And this time, dreaming while riding. And the next thing I know, I hear a big crash and am flying above the road like a superman and landed around 10 feet away from where I started flying. Both my palms GONE. Both my knees GONE. One elbow GONE. One foot GONE. I dont wanna bore you anymore with my bodily ailments. So to summarize. I am hobbling on one leg and typing with one hand :) Looking forward to some crappy times ahead... THIS IS ...

The Dev D Syndrome

Image
SPOILER ALERT I normally don't watch Hindi movies. Its just once in a while that a movie comes along which impresses me to watch it over and over again. After getting my new connection I decided to download the hip-new age version of our very own (very old) DevDas in its modern, anglicized version and now being called DevD . I was sure that I would not be disappointed with this, after all this was a Abhay Deol movie, who is the contemporary Shahrukh Khan, Ambitabh Bachhan of the Weird newage Multiplex cinema. Now i will try and not make this into a review of the movie. What I want to talk about is, why does the youth liked DevD and not Devdas. Almost everyone knows of this story in India, some due to the original book Mr. Sharat Chandra Chattopadhyay. Some due to the 1955 film by Mr. Bimal Roy, or if you are someone from the 80's 90's due to the Aishwarya and Madhuri tandem dance in the new Devdas of year 2002 by Mr. Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Depending upon your year of birth...

Why should Life Move on ?

Image
Just like I have, I am sure you would have also heard this phrase at least once in your life. When things go wrong. When life screws you. When you are unhappy. When you loose something most precious to you. Everyone has this age old adage to add. “ Don’t worry Life Moves on ”. Everyone expects you to forget things, forget your wishes, forget your fantasies, your goals, and your aim. They expect you to stop dreaming and get down to reality. Face the hard facts that you have lost. You couldn’t achieve what you had set out for. That you are a loser. That FATE dealt you a bad hand. That it was written in your destiny. It was not meant to be. They expect you to deal with it and move on. I disagree with such people. Why SHOULD life move on? Why should people be content with what they have? Why not strive endlessly for something they could not achieve at the present moment. Of course I agree that it would lead them to pain and misery for a short time during the pursuit. But when the goal is a...
