Rewatching Zindagi na Milegi Dobara movie after a decade!

-
Src: Rotten Tomatoes

Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (ZNMD) is a movie about friendship, exploring thyself, and vanquishing the worst fears. When I first watched this movie during my college time, my heart filled with ecstasy and avidity. I wanted to see the world, wanted to have a splendid and heart-filling bachelorette with my best friends, and meet new people along the way. These were the dreams ZNMD had filled in my eyes and overwhelmed my heart every time I watched the movie. Living my life after college made me forget these dreams and the movie.

It was pleasant to see my teenage nieces watch this movie with all the fervor a few days back. No doubt movie has the charisma to keep the youngs engaged. The timed dialogues, unbreakable friendship, breath-taking cinematography, beautiful direction, melodious music, and poetry keep the audience on a joyride.

It struck me while watching the movie that I have lost the thrill of the movie. It does not belong with me anymore for the reasons I used to watch it a decade back. I attributed my thoughts to the change of perspective. Instead of enjoying the humorous plot and dramatic adventures, I enjoyed the emotions, lifelong friendship, and connections, and finding ourselves in the process while combating our worst fears. This made the movie mundane to me. I could watch better movies that portray the same message.  A decade back I would have said the movie is adventurous and riveting and inspires me to travel. After a decade, I say the mundane emotions are wrapped inside a shining packaging.

Princess- A saga of Euphoria

Whenever I watch a Disney Princess Movie, my mood gets uplifted and my whole body fills with ecstasy, courage and tranquility.  There is something to them , something more than their aura,beauty and thoughtfulness. Something which makes them so popular and idiosyncratic. So, what makes them so unique? Is it luxury and status they are bestowed upon with since their birth? Is it the beauty they are gifted by Gods?  There is more which outdo their unconventional beauty and unshivering reputation. Some time back, I came across a game which in its result tells which princess you are? We feel quite merry when the outcome of the game matches with our favorite princess. The popularity of the game is the affirmation of our likeness towards the momentary sensation of a real princess. On closely observing the Disney princesses, I am assured that they all share some similarities in their character. Most important to me is that they stand for themselves even in the bleakest...

The present is theirs; the future, for which I really worked, is mine. ~Nikola Tesla If you want to know the drive of passion, then this is the book for you. Mr. Nikola Tesla neither cared about his powerful foes or meek friends. He did not care about the betrayal. He did not care about the negative media marketing for his inventions. All he cared about was his passion.  The author beautifully explains the '10,000 hours' rules given by Swedish psychologist Dr. K Andrews.  A total engrossed and a practicing mind is required for the activity you want to excel in. That can only come from true love and passion for the activity . The perfect blend of opportunities and practice gives the perfect taste of success.  This book gives a measured glimpse of Tesla's life. The waves of fame and defamation could not suppress his thrill of innovation.  His fervent ways to see the world differently through his powerful imagination. Sooner or later, when a person becomes famous, he ge...

Some time back, I brought Horlicks for my son, and with it came a free pack of "Avengers Infinity Wars- Super Hero cards'. I and my son loved playing the cards game. The cards looked like this: (Src: https://www.reddit.com/r/marvelstudios/comments/b6ijhm/my_infinity_war_not_so_limited_edition_trading/ ) Each playing card has certain characteristics. They are (in order): Height, Intelligence, Strength, Speed, Super-Power. A number was assigned in front of each attribute on each card.  Let us take a close look at one of the cards: This card game made my lockdown life a little easier as I could keep my child engaged for about an hour in a day. Thank you,  Horlicks  for rolling out these cards as without even watching any movie my child became an Avengers fan. Although this game is fun to play with,  it has made my child believe that Thanos is unbeatable . Here is the card: This is how  mind tricks  are played on the public by successful advertisers. The method...
