(HECK I know I am giving infinite publicity to the movie.. WHO CARES :P)So I FINALLY saw it today...after some 3 consecutive futile attempts at seeing Taare Zameen Par.. we finally did manage to see it courtsey Riddhima today.. and WOW.. all I can say is that it was completely worth the wait!Needless to say.. most of us girls were in tears :P :P.. god.. I am SO pathetic, I cry at the parts where like uhmm absolutely NO ONE sheds a tear...!?!? I mean uhm hello.. I was crying in Ta Ra Rum Pum, just coz Saif Ali Khan was driving his cocker spaniel out of his house and I started missing Mocha.. yes... the story did not touch me one wee bit.. but the dog just had to do it..!!And today.. I was ok for most of the 1st half... and then that song starts.. that one about mothers... and WOAH....my faucet of tears just REFUSES to stop, it was like this whole thing about Oh-my-god-i-so-love-my-mom-but-dont-appreciate-her-enough instances just flashing before me eyes..I might tend to dramatise things a BIT :P ;).. but seriously, there are somethings that just do make you introspect so much.. some pictures of my childhood, my first day of kindergarten with my standing right next to me, mum and dad beaming proudly when i won some award uhmmm In class I(hah..THOSE were the days :P )..and the lyrics of that song was just amazing.. if you ask me(ok,I know noone is...but what the heck..MY BLOG remember ;))songs like these are like masterpieces.. so few, but yet so wonderful.. like that song "Lukachippi" from RDB.. The lyrics just sears right through the heart.. anyways.. gettting back to Taare..=)...That kid was just AMAZING.. seriously.. I could totally identify with that whole lower lip trembling and the bawling beginning part..(uhmm wait.. most whiny kids would :P)...the range of emotions in the movie was just fantastic.. just about everytime the kids or Aamirs eyes starting shining with tears, rest assured your eyes are going to be welling with some of em too :P ..from the kids stubborness, retaliations,depression and finally his triumphs.. we all could relate to it so strangely well..the situations, the parental pressure and expectations,the impatient teachers,the inevitable evil bullying(woah... I remember facing a LOT of THAT when I was small.. some kids I remember, could give hard core criminals and blackmailers a run for their money...! I can never forget the trauma of having to do the homework of a kid EVERYSINGLE day,just coz that Idiot was the tiffin monitor.. and I was uhmmm lets just say. a PICKY EATER :P)... Most intresting it was to see Varun.. though he might unconvincingly claimed he wasnt crying..it was just too touching when he said he was going to make sure his dad saw the movie.. since he had always been skeptical about the whole dyslexia thing with him.. but,it wasnt just the story of a dyslexic child, it was the story of a childhood most of could relate to having faced at some point or the other..sure, their were those slight gliches in the movies.. some of those too good to be true parts.. however the way the movie dealt with dyslexia was just amazing.. but what I found most touching was the way they spoke about the parents,teachers who are constantly, ceaselessly driving their children to excel in their studies, irrespective of the child's indidvidual talents, capabilities or even limitations.Let alone the difficulties for a dyslexic child, the world has become so fiercely competitive...not just the parents, we oursleves too.. admittedly... one of the main things that drives us to do better IS competition.. but to what extent?Study, excel in academics and THEN WHAT?What about the talents I might have? The hobbies I want to pursue..?Sure, I'm a little frazzle brained now, so I do know that there are a LOT of loopholes in what I am saying. But more importantly, what I am trying to point out is that there must be such a vast, huge expanse of talent there that all of us are wasting.. just because when we prioritise, it is understandably studies that take the forefront in comparison to anything and everything else..(uh apart from good ol fun that is ;) ) ...but even around me..I see so many people... Bhavna with her amazing artistic skills, Kavya with her writing, Karishma with her singing.. so many of us, who refuse to make the most of the gifts Gods bestows on us.. because of maybe low self esteem, that casual almost lazy attitude we tend to adopt towards our talents and mostly because of those endless strereotypes that insist notwithstanding any talent we might, how much ever evident and extraordinary, we do our best , our very best in academics..even if it means eventually taking a road we do not enjoy travelling on.. doing something we dont really have our heart in..I might seem naive, almost silly.. but yet, I am still nagged by this thought.. how much could it reallly hurt... to try your hand.. and I dont mean joining some summer classes just coz your parents forced you to.. but really seriously take up something you truly ENJOY doing and taking up the courage to really give it your all...hmmm just a passing thought.. that I cant seem to put adequately enough in words..
Oh well.. I simply CANNOT make this entry without mentioning Red's absolutely DELICIOUS cake...Oh my god.. the minute I put it into my mouth, I was sure I had died and gone to chocolate heaven or something.. Woah..I mean hello.. rich,sinful chocolate mousse with LOTS of raisins and a base of chocolate cake.. which sane person WOULDNT be transported to the heights of ecstacy :P :P
2 days to New Years, and I STILL am not sure about what I am doing for new years.. god... I am so pathetic :P have I mentioned that before?
Anyways, better end it right here,right now (woaahh..CORNYYYYYYY!) before my dad kills me for his much favoured for online bridge..(search me :P)
Just being me..
*Nikho* =)
