Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na ...

Today I went for "Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na" with my colleagues ... It was the second time that I watched it. And I still love it !!!
I just love Jai and Aditi and their friendz - Bomms (or is it bombs ?) and Rotlu, Jiggy and Mala. Don't know if I remember the names correctly, but what does it matter? The entire movie was a joy ride and it spicened up my senses like a fresh shower... I feel wonderful. Wonderful ... to know that there are people like me out there who love their friendz and life ! I am not Aditi but I see similarities between her and me. The beginning of the movie itself reminded me of that. One might think that Aditi was crying for a dead relative or friend,but it is for her cat that Aditi cries inconsolably. I did the same when my dog died but I didn't have my friends cry with me. It's not that Aditi or I are mad, but that our pets are special too.
When Rotlu starts singing to his new found love Bomms and then everyone discloses their love song .... nice ... you need not be a good singer to express your feelings.
That's why I love music and people who sing ... Papa sings when he is happy ... Maybe that's why I always wanted to get a hubby who sings.. And yes, Roy does sing :)
but then who doesn't ??

Nice subject for a movie... when I heard it first, I thought it would be copy of a Malayalam movie which I had seen many years ago, but I was so pleasantly surprised that it was not so. Friendship turning into Love. Can it be ?? It can. It need not -at the same time. Jai and Aditi are friends with characters some so opposite from each other like day and night and some very similar. Jai Rathore a peace loving guy with such a sincere smile .... and Aditi so bubbly and vivacious, she wouldn't mind kicking a guy. Her curls are different from mine,but I like them better. Both share a goodness, their parents couldn't be happier to have such kids as their own. Friends who are there for each other... Though I doubt if all 'friends' hug each each other and get so intimate. Also, whenever one of their parents suggested that theirs was more than friendship, both ridiculed it as if it was the stupidest thing to say... I wonder, did Jai and Aditi never think about this ? Instead, Jiggy suggests they find themselves a boy/girl friend to find out the truth.
And then yes, Jai finds his lady love... you could say it was love at first sight. But then only at sight I guess. Aditi also tries her luck, but with a guy who doesn't mind a long list of 'special' ex-girlfriends for him but not the same for Aditi.
Strangely, it is her brother who has to tell her that it is not this hunk but Jai who is meant for her. I just love the way he explains it. "Of course I hate him !..." But then what makes both realize that they love each other ?? Jealousy as always.Strange again. But that is life I guess. Someone has to enter your life for you to find out whether this is the one for you or whether it is the person who has seen so much of you and vice versa.
I'm happy for Jai and Aditi coz they found each other ... I know it's just a movie but there'll be certainly a few Jais and Aditis out there ....

Not all friendships end in Love, but some Love ends in Friendship.

I said that I see similarities between Aditi and me. I don't mean the looks or the nature, coz perhaps we couldn't be more different. There is a deeper connection to it, something that cannot be explained in words perhaps.

Great are SMALL Things

"Great are SMALL things ..." these were the words that struck me in sunday's church service. "Great are small things. Great are small people. Big things come out of small things." Deacon Tony was speaking about a parable in the Book of Mathew, chapter 13 and ended with these lines. When I look around I see that everyone is trying to be great only. It's a gadget mania everywhere. The latest i-Phone, laptop ,digi-cam etc ... Same with our attitude. We want to rise the success ladder as quick as possible ... We want to be great.

Friday blues

Another friday ... Another day in office. So much activity, so much work, but if I was to think about how much of it has made me happy, I have to admit not much. I wonder if I am the only one ... My friend says "Start a hobby, and then you won't feel so bad." Hmmm .... A hobby. Come to think about it, there are so many things that I'd want to do ... playing games, painting, joining a dance school .... and even "serious" stuff like learning to cook more delicious stuff. (Just joking.. I am not an anti-cook :))
If I start imagining, I can see every day of my life like a rainbow. I mean every hour of it would be filled with doing colourful things that would only make me happy.
But, well it's not a rainbow now. Will it ever become ? My inner voice says "Yes, if you really want it!" And I wonder "How do I start??" Should I start with my job? It's the place where I (literally) spend most of my life. Hmmm... I have been glued to it for too long a time. In this time I have seen many come and go. Are they happier now ?
A colleague of mine has been thinking alike, and he's done something about his misery. He (being a fitness freak)is planning to open a fitness gym. He's a certified aerobic instructor. Nice. If you can make your hobby your profession.

Well,... as long as I have my rainbow dreams, there is still hope for me !
