Wake Up Sid

We saw the movie "Wake Up Sid" last weekend. It was a 9:15pm show and we reached around 8:20pm thinking of grabbing some good seats. But here was a long line ahead of us; as expected for a long awaited Karan Johar movie. As people were waiting for the entry, I could hear everyone speculating about the movie's story and content. The most heard comment was - "Its Karan Johar's version of Lakshya and Dil Chahta hai". It was 9pm and the entry started. Bollywood movie trailers aren't very readily shown in English movie theaters, so its one of those things people look forward to can't afford to miss. Like every other in the theater, we enjoyed the theatrical trailers. And then our movie started.

A smooth and simple movie! It best portrayed those small cherished moments which make up life. Every single audience was thrilled to see Ranbir making a cake out of bread slices and fruit jam for Konkana. No new story, but reminded of those special tiny moments which made our day and gave us hope and great strength. It was amazing to see people recalling and discussing some old beautiful forgotten moments during and after the movie. Probably, this is what a true movie maker wants.

In the hustle and bustle of life, targets and achievements, we forget to relive the small, fun filled times of life. I want to dedicate this post to those forgotten treasured points of time…..

Scared while riding our first bicycle with dad and found he is standing way behind and we riding independently….still brings smile on our face; Totally unprepared for class test and suddenly a news breaks out…the teacher is absent so test is cancelled…didn’t we lived a thousand lives in that small jiff; The anxiety and uncertainty of results, even after you knew how you did in exams ….recall the switching levels of adrenalin in those snaps J ; Careful while proposing a great solution for the first time to our boss ……

An endless list that dissolves into our lives. I believe, these moments are the key to happiness. Whenever, you are dull and feel the punch is lacking, sit for few minutes and recall the past small beautiful moments; refresh the lost memories and life is back in action.
