CHOICES.

When you  are a kid there are as many dreams in your eyes as are stars in the sky, and as growing up happens, each stage presents new dreams ,new adventures but once you plan to settle down, especially in an Indian set up  choices constrict and dreams vanish and all you are left with is pleasing your family; and playing that socially right kind of role… and if you deny it and start living life on own terms …suddenly your image becomes black and tarnished, you change and so people around criticize you in tons and poke noses at u and point fingers…  this is the one.
Well do I sound pessimistic, hmmm… it can be a point of view but that’s what I have observed , it’s not about you being negative or positive it’s just an observation which can’t be totally neutral.
Thus, come choices, while you are  a kid choices are about food ,studies, roaming out with friends, they confuse you at that time but when you grow up they really define your life…like after 12th if you plan for a Btech and then an MBA  you are done for life ….as they say ‘career set ho gaya’…and then like a donkey just  keep drudging on for your goal whether you understand it or not whether your emotions feel for it or not you are safe in the race of this highly populated country, tomorrow you will settle down and maybe move abroad too so your choice whether was heartfelt or not, made your life easy economically and socially…no challenges but a comfortable life.
And if the horses of imagination run too deep , then believe me though it’s going to be interesting , amazing , boring sometimes even unstable, frightening and fruitless but you will be happy . It doesn’t stop here you are in for a lot of adventure…coz when u take the unconventional path …Though its different, yes you followed  your heart but its hard still to realize that dream …not if you are just focused on work n want to achieve…
Let emotions enter and there go the dreams …they vanish and you face the real trouble…ha ha no I am not scaring you it’s all about choices either choose your life and dreams or people around you and their expectations and if you  choose the latter welcome to the group of us commoners and the real challenges start because everyday you live the life thinking of your dreams but fulfilling others…looking for your image and creating others and thinking about yourself but pleasing others….so it’s all about choices these unpredictable choices…

    Dreams are goals sought to be achieved.
    I think that in life we must have dreams and goals.

LA LA LAND

 Stories are immortal, they are meant to stay in our heart forever. This one will stay eternally, the exuberant frames, the beautiful use of lights...which takes us for a flight of stars and back to reality; from a company of two to solitary lands.  The love story of 'to be or not,to be'. The sense of self journey, the love of couple moments and the sudden halt to reality and eternity of our chosen paths; the time together might not last forever but love does, and so does ,what it does to us...becomes us. Seb and Mia bring in the connotations from 'Rebel Without a Cause' not in the story but in the context of characterisation. Mia stands for what Seb believes in and Seb believes in what's inside Mia...consequently Mia reminds Seb of what's his capability...the art of bringing evolutionary joy to his audiences. A love story which is a dedication to our dreams , no matter how unreal they are.. A tribute to Paris, which really is 'The city of love'...not in

QUESTIONS...

Since the time we are born,we are meant to survive and be optimistic else its impossible to stay…as says Charles Darwin ,’survival for the fittest’.Thus begins our journey to live to fight and not to ask questions to that Almighty. Throughout   this journey called life ,when we move through different stages, its always about survival,feeding, desires, expectations and frustations emerging out of that,happiness becomes relative… And questions you should not ask… People say you should be an honest, hardworking and   god fearing man…first two adjectives are alright but the third one …is god so shallow that in his kingdom we have to be fearful citizens… THERE is this movie –BRUCE ALMIGHTY…very very impressive and inspiring,even so many books and spiritual teachers to explain the bigger things in life and forget about the smaller personal issues…but till the self is not satisfied and resolved how to look with kindness towards others . So many questions and only one answer –look within…but a
