Movie Character I Want to Play #TadkaTuesday

We are all in some way or the other fascinated by the stories that are created on the celluloid, knowing fully well that they are imaginative and ingenious to say the least with an exemption of some being inspired from true events.

We have all lived vicariously the journey of the characters while watching a movie with some even carrying the feeling home. Who doesn’t want to be in a dreamland living a life “king-size”? With living in huge mansions, traveling in private jets, so on and so forth. With everything at your command, life being at ease with things around and with there being always a happy ending. Who wouldn’t want such a life and I being no exception. But then there are so many movies and numerous characters that have transported me to a utopian world, if I may use that here.

But then when I was asked this question there is one character that stood tall amongst scores of others that have made me identify with them. The biggest reason amongst others was that it would be every aspiring man’s dream life. It is that of Kabir Thapar aka Bunny in the movie Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.

Kabir at one hand has a dream job of traveling around the world and covering the best that the universe offers so also gets to experience the finer things in life first hand. But then on the other hand he has shown that to achieve you got to dream first - “care to dream & dare to achieve” is brought out clearly by him and I would love to live by that cliché. He has shown a strong desire to go for his dreams and was ready to make whatever sacrifices that were needed. That is another aspect that inspired me and made identify with him.

Also Kabir brings to the board another very important aspect that we lack in our society, is that of agreeing to disagree. Kabir has been brutally honest throughout the movie, which is what I am too. He is a very social person but managed to keep his personal life separate. That brings me another facet of his personality and which I dearly adore in my life is that having you close group of people, for whom  you would always want to go that extra mile.

So to wrap it up I would just not want to play the character but imbibe and reproduce all of his aesthetics in everyday life.

Life is like a long dark tunnel. It’s very pleasant, cool and pleasing inside. But somehow, the brightness of the scorching hot sun at the end of it feels all the more comforting ~KS~

Stuff I Learnt Today ~ 5 August 2014

Life is an ongoing endeavor. The one who claims to know Life is fooling his own self. One can learn, follow, imitate, challenge, contest or fight but can never fully know or understand the phenomenon called Life ~KS~

Love & Happiness

Thirteenth day of this year’s National Poetry Writing Month. Today’s (optional) prompt is a “replacement” poem. Pick a common noun for a physical thing, for example, “desk” or “hat” or “bear,” and then pick one for something intangible, like “love” or “memories” or “aspiration.” Then Google your tangible noun, and find some sentences using it. Now, replace that tangible noun in those sentences with your intangible noun, and use those sentences to create (or inspire) a poem.

Don't Whine

Celebration

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 33; the thirty-third edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton. The theme for the month is 'Celebrations'

It was Diwali and we had assembled at our farm house for the Annual Family Get-together. Ours was a very big family. My father had four brothers and two sisters. My dad was the eldest of all. Each one had two children's and we were all a power pack bunch.

This was big fat party and everyone was having a gala of a time. The uncles were having their drinks and game of billiards. The aunties were on a high with their society and kitty party gossips. We cousins were having our share of fun. The smaller kids were on the dance floor while some lazy ones of us had resigned to the couch.

There was static silence as my dad was wheel chaired inside the house. None of them could believe their eyes. The big man of the family was down to this. He was a father figure to everyone present there. It was only now that everyone was informed that he was diagnosed with Cancer a few months back and currently undergoing chemo cycles.

The sense of oneness, the fact that we all were connected through blood was very evident. Each one felt his pain as though we were experiencing it ourself.

My heart wrenched seeing him like this. We had always seen him as one of the most joyful, spirited and always on the go, and fun loving person. One who always was shoulder to shoulder with all the kids in all the mischief’s and pranks. He always defied his age. Our family patriarch was losing his shine. Was this going to be his last Diwali with us, my heart questioned with moist eyes. I was startled at this thought. Will the Celebrations ever be same again without him being around. I was fumbling and lost for words and it was the mood around.

He being our mentor and guiding light all through our lives could sense it well. He called all of us to the hall. He raised a toast to all of us and got up braving the pain and difficulty. He then went on to say something which completely changed our outlook towards life:

I see all of you are sad and have grown sympathetic towards me. This is not what I warrant and have never felt so helpless ever before. I have lived my life on my terms and never surrendered to any the challenges life has thrown to me, I have taken them on the chin always and will continue to do so.

                    “Some of us will get cancer,

                the coronary disease will hit some,

                Sudden accidents will happen,

                also the deadly disease will come.

                

                Some may fall to an epidemic,

                few may be victim of error,

                Some may still survive,

                try and revive.

                We may grudge,

                but it is a fact,

                We cannot nudge.

                It will keep dripping,

                boundaries of our lives,

                telling us how unsure,

                everything is.

                Eventually it will get,

                to each one of us

                Its only certain,

                why then it,

                still haunts us.”

I don’t need an Occasion

I celebrate life,

Life to me is a journey,

Where I am on Bon Voyage

Where everyday is a Celebration!!!
