The Beauty of Life

Uh….. I love the smell of water on dry mud. It’s so beautiful. The smell is not pleasant like that of flowers but there is something about it that puts a smile on my face. It’s very calming and soothing, a very happy fragrance. I can’t help but smile. I can still smell it from my garden. Hmmmmm…….. I feel so happy. I was so grouchy the whole day. And to think that one small and simple thing like a fragrance could make it all better.

It always turns out like that, doesn’t it? When you feel like nothing in the world can make you feel better either because you are so mad, or just having a bad day then something very trivial, like a sound or a face or just anything very unexpected could make you forget everything and just feel very happy. And for no reason too, like you’re drugged or something (not that I know what taking drugs feels like). Your mind feels so peaceful and clear, all your worries are put away and you just want to look around you and take in everything. ‘You just want to Live for the Moment’. Like right now I can see dusk approaching outside my window and it’s so beautiful. I don’t think I have ever watched the sunset in Bangalore. It never occurred to me. We always go to hill stations or beaches to see such things. I’m sure the sunset here will be just as good as anywhere else.

Right now I just want a glass of hot tea and sit on my terrace and sip it while I watch all the birds fly towards their nest until it becomes completely dark and the mosquitoes start biting.

I love this world. It’s filled with so many beautiful and absolutely fabulous creations. Its things like these that make me feel glad I’m still alive.

The Irony of Life

Life is such a weird thing. We have it but still that in it self is not enough to want to make us live it. We are always searching for meaning, something that will motivate us to live, to go on. It’s like an addiction. In the beginning just a little will do but then as we grow up we need more from life until you reach a state when no matter what you’re not satisfied. So you keep working and motivating yourself, until one day you stop and look back and see that everything you ever did was a waste. Everything was meaningless and you’ve let life slip through your fingers doing things that never made you happy.

I’ve always believed that the only way to live is by being happy, anything else is just not worth it. Yes we need financial stability (actually if you think about it we really wouldn’t need that too if people hadn’t given it so much importance), we need a roof over our heads and food to eat. But does this mean we succumb to materialism and forget to ‘Live’. After all isn’t this what drives people today. Everyone wants the best of everything no matter how unhappy they become in the process of achieving it. Everywhere all around us people live such monotonous lives, void of substance, just lives that reflect the other.

You know what the funny thing is, man evolved through the years to better himself from the animal. But in the end it’s us who ended up being miserable whereas they still continue living life being content with what they have.

A Big Mess

Oh my God. You would think that with all the publicity this film got it would be this really great contemporary movie. What was the writier thinking when he designed that end. It was more like he was out of ideas and for the sake of ending it just came up with something. Don't get me wrong the whole film was not one big mess, there were some really great moments in the movie. The way in which the whole idea of patriotism was potrayed was really good. But the ending really destroyed it for me. It neither made any sense nor was it feasible. I truly believe that people really need to ponder on this one fact when attempting to create something. The movie just gives you false hopes, it builds up on the theme of patriotism and at the end comes out looking like this big plan which went kaput.
