Udaan..

After almost 4 years and watching this movie for the 8-9th time, I realized that my blog is incomplete if it doesn't  have anything on my all-time favorite movie. Bit late I Know, but as they say better late than never.

Udaan really makes you think. Without being spectacular, Udaan sends across its message. It’s not your movie where you have stand out scenes, but one which slowly but surely brings out some ideas. A movie which grows on you as time goes by.

We’ve all had dreams in life. We’ve all had passions in life. But how many of us have chosen to pursue our passion in life? How many of us have had the courage to build our lives around our passion? When I join that consulting firm paying me an eight digit figure, is that what makes me happy? Or rather, am I happy doing that job? Is there a spice in my life apart from the job? Why did I not pursue something I wanted to? Does one have to compromise with such choices in life?

These and many more questions run through your mind after watching this movie. Writing is just an example. The crucial aspect is being passionate about the thing you love. About pursuing your passion. And Movie brings about this aspect in a way which no other movie in recent memory has done. Movie goes a long way in showing how listless a passionless life can become. Ah… The actors. They were all brilliantly effective. The music and the lyrics are still In my ear, like a magical elf.

Some of My favoutire lines from the songs

Aazaadiyan

Subah Ki Kirno Ko Rokein Jo Salaakhein Hai Kahan

Jo Khayalon Pe Pehre Daale Woh Aankhein Hai Kahan

Par Khulne Ki Deri Hai Parinde Udh Ke Jhoomenge

Aasman Aasman Aasman

Geet

Dhool Jami Thi Aankhon Mein

Khwab Khile Ab Lakhon Mein

Naya Kuch Naya To Zaroor Hai

Dard Ki Baatien Kal Ki Hain

Aaj Mein Khushiyan Chalki Hain

Naya Kuch Naya To Zaroor Hai

Jebon Mein Hum Raatein Liye Ghuma Kare

Fursat Ke Yeh Mauke Sabhi Jhuma Kare

Haan Yeh Umango Se Poora Hua Seena Hai (Seena Hai ..)

Lamha Yeh Maanga Nahi, Isse Humne Cheena Hai (Cheena Hai ..)

Yunhi Jeena Hai

Naav

Rakh Dega Jhakjhor Ke Tujhe

Tufano Ka Ghor Hai Dera Ghor Hai Dera

Bhanwar Se Dar Jo Haar Maan Le

Kaheka Phir Jor Hai Tera Jor Hai Tera

Hai Dil Mei Roshni Tere

Tu Cheer Daal Sab Ghere

Lehron Ki Gardan Kas Ke

Daal Phande Re

Ki Dariyan Bole Waaha Re Panthi

Saar Ankhon Pe Naav Hai Teri Naav Hai Teri

Udaan

Nadi Mein Talab Hai

Kahin Jo Agar, Samandar Kahan Door Hai

Damakti Garaz Hai, Sone Mein Agar

To Jalna Bhi Manzoor Hai

Ik Udaan Kab Talak Yun Kaid Rahegi

Roko Na Chod Do Isse

Ik Udaan Hi Sapno Ko Zindagi Degi

Sapno Se Jod Do Isse

Movie is more than close to my heart. It depict something have always fantasized, sitting along the railway track/ beside the river bed with notebook and pen, observing the surroundings and writing exquisitely conceived sentences with words, immaculately strung together, I don’t think anything else in this world can give me equivalent bliss. Even the thought of this makes me smile.

Crux: So, are you ready to pursue your passion in life? Are you ready to rediscover the spice in your life? Or do you even care about it? Think about it.

Kahani Khatam Hai Ya Shuruwaat Hone Ke Hai

Subha Nayi Hai Yeh Ya Phir Raat Hone Ko Hai

Aane Wala Waqt Dega Panha Hai

Ya Phir Se Milenge woh Raahein

Khabar Kya, Kya Pataa

Glass half-full.

I am not sure if it's a good thing or a bad one, but the (for sure) baffling deal about life is that it can always get worse. No matter how much of a pickle you are in, life is mockingly creative enough to slam in another one at you. It's true to the extent of being funny, really, and the worst part of it all is that it comes with the realization that, 'Oh Dear God, I was so much better off before.'

I would so want to be the person, who sees the glass half full, who finds happiness in unfavorable times, all rosy and peachy, but sadly I am not. I am also not saying that all the misfortunes of the wide world have been thrust upon my feeble shoulders, no! But there are times in my life (and the frequency now seems to be increasing bloody freakishly) where just about the time I try to reason my way out, telling myself, it can only get better from here, life is sadist enough to prove otherwise.

I am at a place in my life where I have no clue where I am, where I am heading to, and whats driving me... this is one of those times, where you feel a million voices rambling inside your head, so much so that it eventually becomes a constant droning buzz of absolute nothing.

I want to be a spectator and watch my life over again, there is a good chance I might be able to figure out where I left that behind and more importantly… what it was!!

I am feeling like this because in anticipation of big things and big events in life, I am ignoring the little grains of delight that are all around me. Sometimes they are really insignificant to notice, or I am too preoccupied to acknowledge, sometimes I am just too burnt out to give it a thought, but  i guess they are the things which matter the most.

Have to start seeing the glass as half full!!
