If only

If only...
I contemplate a lot on these two words whenever I sit back with a cup of tea and mom's matri(Home made maida item) in my room with music on.
My present life, my past, how things would have been, had something else happened.
I crib a lot about my present, the kind of life I am leading and I am sure there would be thousands more who would do the same thing..cribbing!
I think a lot about my future, the kind of life I wanna lead and what am I doing to get that kind of life..probably nothing much!
And the best part is that I love to reminisce on my yesteryears and about all the desires that never got materialized.
'If only' is all about those things that never happened. Reason- Destiny was not in favor of them.
It is all in the hands of those vicissitudes. Believe it or not, the life defining moments that come in our lives, are more or less depends on the circumstances, our fate, our choices.
If only my father had not got transferred to a bigger city,
If only, I had taken up Architecture in NIT Bhopal, If only, I had taken up a course in Fashion Technology.
If only, I had got into a good B-school just after my graduation.
If only, I had not got Chennai as my posting after getting done with my training.

And there are many more such 'If only' in our life but answer for all is the same. Every single variation in our lives has something special in it. Had it happened, life would have certainly been different but life is still beautiful for we have other things associated with it which are considered to be 'Life Defining moments'.
Good or bad, it always comes up with something positive, coz if it is good, we feel elated and confident and if not, then also it makes us strong headed and more courageous to face other adverse situations in future.
We may not remember day-to-day accounts of our lives, but we certainly remember those special moments which make us smile. That is what matters and life is all about those things that matters the most to us.

The sweetness of those little memories is much more satisfying then the saltiness of unfulfilled desires.
Cherish that sweetness.

Wake up.....

He has just finished writing up his last exam of the last semester of the college.He thinks that he is the king of this world. No work but party hard is his mantra of life. He has a group of friends on which he can lean upon anytime, anywhere. He is not-so-spoiled son of a rich-dad!He is amazingly charming and handsome.He prefers playing video games and downloading car wallpapers in his age of early 20s when all other guys of his age prefer watching .....!!!But there is a problem. And the problem is He is clueless, aimless with no aspirations and dreams or rather he has never a given thought on what vocation he should choose after the graduation.And so here it is, ours truly- Siddharth Mehra a.k.a Sid. Like every Abhishek or Abhilasha in this country is Abhi, Aishwarya is Aish, Sandeep is Sandy, our Siddharth is Sid.

You must be wondering, this is yet another review, by yet another random blogger, of the movie.But let me make myself clear.I am not going to write a detailed review of the movie for the movie reviews have already topped the chart. I am here to tell what and how I felt after watching it

Wake up Sid! directed by the debutante Ayan Mukerji is one such refreshing story which would take us to the riveting journey of our yesteryears. We see a glimpse of ourselves in this movie. Every single person can relate with one or the other character of this movie. Some could relate to Sid, some to Aiysha, some to Rishi, some to Tanya. Our mothers could relate themselves to Sid's mother, father to Sid's father, neighbors to Aiysha's neighbor and like. It has everything in it. It has portrayed all the relationships, be it Father-son, mother-son, with neighbors, with friends, with employer, with children, and most importantly our relationship with our own life,so beautifully and clearly that one would wonder at times,isn't it our life. It has covered everything.

Such a simple script yet so refreshing. I loved each and every part of it.
It is one such movie which leaves you dumbstruck, when you come out of the theater and you don't utter a single word. To be very frank, I revisited the memories of RDB and Taare Zameen Par. I am not saying the movie is on the lines of the above mentioned movies but the feeling was in line with them.

Totally amazing and a must watch for our generation.
Go for it!
