In My Life..

Been 21 years into this worlds. I laughed, cried, wondered, was worried,was scared,was elated…… So many moments passed by, lost in space and time, in the corners of my heart and mind. Few memories I remember but many forgotten. A million people I’ve seen, they came and went. Longed for few, some sailed towards, while others drifted away and few still are. One day I will be gone too. Gone will be, all the ideas and images, the maps of the heart erased..I leave just the way i came to this world…

When i try to look at it all, I think the ‘I’ is not bigger any bigger than any love or friendship. All things we cherish are either the idea of someone or something. The number of hearts we touch and number of smiles we share mean more than all the achievements. The element of Godliness lies so much in us that we fail to see it in any of it. With so many thing come and go.. None can afford to burden ourselves with things unsaid and undone. Wanna say a thing just tell it, wanna do something just do it, love somebody just go ahead. Our lives must definitely mean much more than indifference and hostility.

And to end this, A musical tribute to all the people and places involved in the times of my life.
I just want to say “I Love You All“

Taare Zameen Par…

Just watched Taare Zameen Par. Its not the stars, but tears which rolled on the floor. I am usually a bad sob act to movies, but this movie didn’t waste a moment to make me shed a bucket and a half of tears. I personally could relate to myself, of what I saw in the movie. The cast, direction, music all were tuned to perfection. The best part of the movie was that it wasn’t as cliched as I expected it to be. However there were a couple of irritating over insensitive characters like the teachers and not to forget the father. The director failed to eliminate the Bolly Masala element to movie, a dramatic entry for Aamir before the interval proves the point. The teachers characters also were text book Bollywood style characters. The music though was excellent and expressive, the narration relied too much on it. The vocal interludes looks completely engineered to evoke tears and manipulate the emotions of the audience. Although the movie gets a bit preachy at times, it just about manages to get away it.

The movie had scuttled all the potential to be a truly international film, only if it had not been for few deliberate and unnecessary characters along with typical bollywoodisms. It could have done well to be an international classic. But nonetheless a good two hour worth spending.

It would be a 10/10 for a bollywood regular and a 7/10 for an international reviewer.
