ALL IZZ WELL

I have watched Three Idiots. What a movie. After watching RDB, I thought RDB has set up a bench mark which is very very high to reach. But after watching 3 Idiots, I think I should now revise my statement. I don’t want to call it a movie, but I don’t have an exact word in my limited vocabulary, to give it a name. It’s for sure way ahead of being called as a movie. But for now and only till I find the best suited word, let’s call it a movie.

The Movie has touched the hearts and minds of all the 7 people group of ours, who went to the movie together. I am sure it would have stroked the chords with all the people in the theatre. Such a beautiful picture it was. In the first 15 minutes, Aamir (Ranchore Das), as a part of his role says ye jo dil hain na use bewakoof banake rakho, hamesha bolo ki “AALL IZZ WELL”. This may be a good joke, but the phrase has a very deeper and very wise meaning hidden in it. It essentially says don’t let pressure touch your heart, because a lot of things work out fine even without me taking the pressure on my heart. Just be calm and composed.

Aamir looked 5 years younger than how he looked in RDB. My Father says, Aamir just looks like he was in Papa Kehte hain song and the only difference he notices is, that he has was a little thin then (is it my dad getting old or Aamir not getting old? I am confused). Ranchore Das is the person who loves to learn. And the movie shows the difference between “to learn” and “being trained”. The character for a moment makes me feel, learning science is an art too.

The movie is about doing what I like to do and what I like to learn rather than what has been imposed on me.

The song “Give me some sunshine” is just the life of me is what I felt. I was surprised to know that, all others in our group saying same thing to me. I thought it’s just made for me. They thought it’s made for them. This is to be called brilliance. Nothing else qualifies. The song has a very simple way of saying, live your life.

This movie should be watched twice for sure. If you are a movie lover then twice is the lower limit. I am a fan of Aamir, so I will watch it as many times as I can afford to. By the way please visit a theatre near you. Help stop Piracy.

Bye for now and whenever you think you are in deep shit do not let your heart know that. Tell your heart “AALL IZZ WELL”

Post-Mortem

My friend passed away last night
house filled with mourners & dim light.
Not of cancer, not of flu,
the reason? there's no clue!!

Was in the Army, served in the front
got a lot of medals, and was'nt a runt.
you might not agree with me, lucky was he,
his soul was around, to look at the funeral of his body!!

He was proud and happy of his social life,
but failed to care for his parents and wife.
all he was is Polo, Squash, friends and wine
his Mom and wife, longed for his presence at the dine

Today, mom weeps losing her son,
he wants to hold her and say i love you mom
he sees his wife fainted of shock
how he wished, his death was just a mock

polo mates didn't cry, nor did the mates of squash
buddies didn't turn up, who were at the last weekend bash
he realizes the mistake, when his coffin is decorated with silk,
its just a post-mortem, crying over spilled milk.

He got to see his last journey, which no one got
Was he really lucky, or was he not?
For him its a permanant good night,
because, as i told you, my friend passed away last night.


Every one loves their parents and wife. Many fail to express it. This is a humble request to all, to express how much you love your loved ones, how much you care for them and how important they are in your life and how vital they are in what you are today. Because only love is forever.

Why

Its not because money, not because dine
Not because girls, not because wine,
its about passion, its about life's way
its about something, without which i cant stay.

My dad says go son, mom says why son
friends say have fun, god says, you are none
How do i say, how do i tell,
That i want it, i am ready to yell.

God, please listen to me
Make me, what i want to be
I promise i wont let you down
I would be best in the town

Show me the way, show me the path
help me out, be my northe
i want that piece of pride
let my soul glide.

Palm Readers

I was at the garden, roaming with Pals,
My phone was switched off, so had no calls
having a good time, having no thought
arrived then the palm reader, whome i caught.


Pious mark on the forehead,
turban rolled, in red
Closed in a cage, he had a parrot
He is a palm reader, but carries tarrot

I wished he was god, i had a question to ask him
why wouldnt i get it?, still stay so grim
when would i be what i want to be?
seldom do i realize, i am being lazy.

With my eyes going wet,
I realize, i am not there yet
Its not very far block,
i will have to slog.

God please help me get what i want. I just cant live without it. I request you. I would be a good boy. I wont bother my mom, i would help the needy. God please help me in this.

Today

Today, nothing different from routine. I was still sleeping like a log, when some one started hiting me on my face. God, its the most undesirable way of getting up. I was still closing my eyes, and my blood pressure has touched its peak, i open eyes in a very very angry mood, but the moment i saw who woke me up, all the anger went back, dont know where. It was my cute little niece Vaishnavi, who woke me up. Wow, kids have a magic spell on most of us. I woke up with my eyes still blur, and i see her cute smile and then i could not stop having a broooaaaad smile.

A few Lines

How I wish, life was a little more beautiful
How I wish, my acts were a little more fruitful
Life is full of acts, acts are filled with life
How I wish, our words were are a little more thoughtful

Rakhi Ka Swaymwar. (What happened to us)

Rakhi Sawant, the very sound of that name, brings the imagination of a item girl to my mind. I always feel happy when i look at people like Rakhi. She chose to be an item girl and i can say she is number one in that segment. I like and respect people who reach the top in their respective fields. For example, a solider is considered a very low rank in the army. However, the same solider when he reaches the level lof a subedhar major, there is a lot of respect for him. There is so much respect for him that the army gives him the rank of a honaroury captain.



Lekin, swayamwar on TV. Shaadi ko ek show banaadenna is a little over the limits, I would have respected Rakhi more if she would have not thought of telecasting over the national television. Above that, the television owners, man these people are the true mean machines. I can never imagine anyone who is more business minded that these television producers.



A woman getting married, in a swayamwar, telecasting over the TV. Mad people like me watching and getting mad behind it. Increased TRP's. More money to the producers and more fame to Rakhi and her dulha(s). I wonder what would have encouraged that 22 year lad to get married to a woman who is more than 30 years. If it is not for money and fame, i dont see a genuine reason behind it. Man you are just 22. You just came out of adoloscence. Get that ass back to school.

IF you can keep your head when all about you

Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,

Or being hated, don't give way to hating,

And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;

If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools;

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To serve your turn long after they are gone,

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

Except the Will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,

Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,

if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,

Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it

And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Reading :) Books, I completed reading recently

Freedom at Midnight: Dominique Lapierre and Larry Collins












An insight into India's freedom movement, from an English point of view. Lot of new things to be learnt from the book. One such thing is, once the nation was granted freedom, the then leaders, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Patel etc, didn't know what to do and requested Lord Mountbatten, to stay back and assist them in administration.





Wings of Fire:

An autobiography of Dr. Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam, the 11 President of Republic India. Dr. Kalam holds various titles to his name which includes, Padma Bhushan (1981), Padma Vibushan (1990) and the highest civilian award Bharat Ratna (1997). Narrated by Dr. Kalam, and written by Arun Tiwari, this book provides us with a detailed insight into various stages of Dr. Kalam's life. Dr. Kalam was responsible for the development and operationalisation of AGNI and PRITHVI.

This single line motivated me a lot: Dr. Kalam had to taste failure for 5 consecutive times, before he had the first successful missile launch.

Special Forces: By Anthony Kemp

This book provides us with a brief understanding of the origin and development of Special Forces. Helps us understand how these units work and their capabilities. It also provided intriguing stories behind these elite forces. Although, the book refers to most of the Special Force units across the globe, it is more focused on the Special Air Service Regiment (SAS), which is a Special Forces unit of the British.

The initial SAS troops were asked to rob their own units in order to form a SAS unit. Some men even robbed a Piano from the officers mess.
