"REEL" Life vs "REAL" Life!!!

Watching those mushy, romantic movies, I always start fabricating my life the same way…I start day dreaming…thinking of my life going the same way…the Shangri- La way…in perfect bliss…


But is it true in real life??? A question crops up after the euphoria of the movies evaporates…well…”reel” life turns “real” only for few lucky ones…or I must say…very few…I have never seen such happy life images in my memory…in typical hindi movie romance…the guy is poor n the gal rich…and both have societal barriers…there’s no other combination existent…but in real life…everything is possible…in English flicks…there’s everything in a fairy-tale mode…a beautiful romance…2 wonderful humans deeply in love…either having the best of lives or the worst…


Movies show us only some aspects of the originality…and originality for that matter is…much diverse and quite practical…”reel” life displays fiction…is it really possible just 2 move around with your gf/bf and still make living???…in “real” life it’s not…the romance phase persists for just few months and then comes the reality of actually not being able to give time to your other half coz the responsibilities surface above the dream world… also many a things actually occur in their lives in “reel”…in “real” life there are happenings…only they are meager…and actually empirical…


Apart from them, there are narrower and longer “reels” extant…the daily soaps…here the number of many things happening in movies feels to be minimal…just when a big tragedy ends…starts another…the smaller “reel” moves faster…also they for sure don’t relate the “real” life…and still Ekta had named her series as “Kahani Ghar Ghar Ki…”pure paradox…


But again…I believe it’s not practically doable to stay away from the “reel” world…coz that is the one source which makes us forget the “real” world…at least for sometime…and helps us realize that “real” is not so bad…it aids to our entertainment…a much needed change for stressed souls… and importantly…a topic of discussion for innumerable people who don’t have anything else to do in life except survive…


“REEL” world and “REAL” world…are two different entities…but still linking many…and so…the “reel” world begins with…

“All the characters in this are purely fictitious…and they don’t bear any resemblance to the REAL”

To the Dreams, To the Eternity, To the HIMALAYAS!!

The World is full of adventure and fun. Every new turn we take get ahead as a new challenge. And yes I was talking about life; though even the rikshawallas may come up that way. As the famous saying goes, “Life’s once, enjoy while you can” . So make sure we have our own share of adventure. The message beeped “ What is your crazy dream?” Giving thought for a while, I responded “To go out unperturbed, no bothering, no works and no thoughts on the roads to the Himalayas” “That wasn’t crazy till you mentioned the Himalayas. If you remember you stay in the centre of India and without being disturbed how can like go off for a long long time.” “Wish I could just go.” “In your dreams…” “Yeah! In my dreams…” was the last I could write at 2 am. The next morning, the alarm kept ticking and my eyes felt heavy to be opened. But then there is life, there’s work. I got into the showers and then into the closet and then out in the cab, rushing away to the hospital. Today

Smittened by LOVE!! :)

Usually surrounded by individuals of all kinds… There is this one kind in them that’s special… As they say ‘Someone, somewhere is made for you.’… That special category… I don’t know how many of us have experienced it; The LOVE, is indeed a special feeling… Unknowingly, unseeingly he came into life… equations matched and things sparkled… At the start it was nothing but friendship … Day by day facts remolded… Shorts “hellos” turned into Long talks… every bit of communication enclosed a meaning… simple meanings swiveled to become essence for life… Staying away from the chats became difficult… Meeting him became ‘most important’ in the to-do list… May be that’s just coz I connect to him… or may be that’s because I  like him… but the most beautiful may be is coz I am driven towards him for the special fondness I have for him… I currently stay in this dwindled phase of life where I am unable to reply any ‘WH’ question related… All I know is that there is some force which is impelling the

Love Thy Parents!!!

Plagiarized from a friend’s status on Facebook…”Certain things are best when choreographed naturally”…so true n so genuine…and the best example for this…relation with parents… The day I was born, by default I got my parents…there was no option kept by the Almighty…as in choose between the people…but I guess He knows better who can be comfortable n taken care of by whom…and so this beautiful alliance is a gift to us at birth I guess… MOM n DAD…two best humans on this earth…most lovable n most adorable…every kid has a special place in their heart for these Angels of Solace…and I am no exception to this Golden Rule… They are the inspiration…the way they manage the home and the workplace both together and in sync is something to be looked upon at… They are the motivators…it’s for their sheer support n love that both of us…me n my Bro have been able to be on the road to our dreams… They are the instillers…putting up all good values into us…they have made us able to rise up in lif
