Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara..

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara… (For those who do not understand hindi… Zindagi na milegi dobaara implies – You wouldn’t get your life again)

Watched it dobara… No no … don’t worry… not that I didn’t understand it in one Go…. I know I am Dumb….. I have already made this public announcement in this blog last year… No no I am not lying… c’mon once a year I do tell the truth…. Look at the link below ;)

Ssooo now you know I am frank …. Oops shameless ;)… yeah that’s the word ;) …

Questions… Questions… and more questions came popping into my little head… again all unanswered questions…

Movie has a beautiful message for this generation Marathon runner’s… I always used to wonder…

Why are everybody running…some after money… some after name… same after fame… in this running generation does anyone have time to halt… time to stop… time to sit down… and simply smile… time to stare…

Why is it that we give more importance to professional deadlines than personal ones?

Like, we quite comfortably postpone ‘talks/meetings with friends/children/spouse/parents/siblings because we are under ‘tremendous work pressure’. Why don’t we ever do the same with meetings with bosses and clients (unless of course it is a medical emergency at home)?

Why are we busy trying to give each other (at times even friends) a look of revenge… words which say “I will give you dose of your own medicine”… than thinking of giving some tight hugs instead…

Why are we ace at maintaining “Cost-Benefit” ratio… but fail to maintain “Work-Life” ratio… As far as I remember my teacher did tell me back in school that “Health is Wealth”

Why do some movies make us cry but we give a deaf ear to the helpless cry of a child on the street…

Why a stranger classmate back in school could become our best friend but we just cant think of our colleague as our best friend… just because somewhere deep down you think of them as your competitor…

Why cant you just be happy when your friend at work gets a promotion… when you know he/she deserves one…

Why are all living lives in a “Closed Box” when we are supposed to be in a closed box only when we are dead…

Why are all striving so hard to be better than others financially… when we all should be striving to be better human being’s

Why are all thinking that “Buying a house” is an attempt towards their future security… when we do not have a clue whats lined up for us the very next moment…

So many questions in store… Answers to which is something known to all… bt we love to abide and live in this Hippocratic world… as following our heart is foolishness to the world… right… ;)

Love the dialogue from the movie… where Katrina asks Hrithik… “Does money make you happy” and he replies saying “Yes”… and to that she says “Then why did u weep after the underwater diving”… he said “ because for the first time he felt he was alive”…. She then replied saying “ did u ever weep after seeing ur month end salary… no… then you need to cease the moment my friend… life is now…not tomorrow...when your 40... and do you even know if you are gonna be alive till then ;) “

Love the Javed Akhtar poetries in the movie…

Zinda Ho Tum (The poem comes in the climax)

Dilon mein tum apni betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho, toh zinda ho tum
Nazar mein khwaabon ki bijliyan leke chal rahe ho, toh zinda ho tum
Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise aazad rehna seekho
Tum ek dariya ke jaise lehron mein behna seekho
Har ek lamhe se tum milo khole apni baahein
Har ek pal ek naya samaa dekhiye
Jo apni aankhon mein hayraniyan leke chal rahe ho, toh zinda ho tum

Dilon mein tum apni betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho, toh zinda ho tum
