Life as a movie
What if my life was a movie? A few months ago, I would have scoffed at the idea, but these days I have become very filmy. I don’t believe I am quite the drama queen, but these days I think life is not short of a big time masala movie. Reading a few of my recent posts, one would wonder why in the world I like making life seem so complicated and drama-filled. So lets do this experiment…..What if life was a movie? What if i could bring this reel of life to a screeching halt and modify it and write a script for my own life?
Hmmmmm…….lets get kiddish here………what if I was the female version of Ritchie Rich?
1) There would definitely be at least three dogs at home (in reality there are none). One Alsatian to guard us, one retriever to love us unconditionally, and one mongrel who would keep doing crazy stunts.
2) We would live in a brick house next to the sea.
3) My prince charming would not come on a horse, he would come in a CRV
4) One floor for the doggies, one for family, one for grannies and grandpas.
5) There would be lots of woods around the house where me and my friends could go camping and exploring( I have read too many famous five books, still do..)
6) There would be a library on the top floor, and a kitchen, so I could read my favourite books while munching on fried chicken or pizza.
7)There would be no villains.
8 ) Father would never go to work, mother would never cook or clean.
9) There would be a 24 hour mechanics workshop for nisheed, a 24 hour laughter channel on TV for hari, a room full of gaming portals for adhi.
10) Attend college from home. Have online videos of lectures, perform pracs on your own.
Wow what a life…
But then it wouldn’t be me. I would get bored with no scope for growth. I would perhaps be more unhappy. Whatever the state of things, at least I have the satisfaction of having lived my life my way.
Life can be cruel, it could be unfair, sad, euphoric and funny at the same time. You can complain all you like, but bottom line is you would never want to change it. Like my friend maverick says in his blog,
If given a chance, I’d do somethings differently than what I had
done. But then I wouldn’t be the same person. Life’z like that.
I said a rude thing to my best friend today, I felt bad about it later, but there are some things that you just cant change. I face troubles of my own that seem like mountains today, but maybe I will look back at them in the future and laugh at it all. But this is what makes me who I am!
However much I might hate it right now, maybe further in life, I will actually want to go back to where I am today, and stay like this forever.
Thanks maverick for that great one liner, and thanks to fate for giving me this life.
PS: Please dont watch U Me Aur Hum, it is terrible.

Dat was a nice post….n some new thots.
make dat a stone house for me.
Hey, u told me dat ‘U me hum’ movie is good?
I like the way you write about stuff… simple but very important!
life is about what you do… about the “choices” you make… that is what defines you.
(P.S. since i am a movie freak… now i will watch u me aur hum… just to know why not to watch it!!!
)
thanks moonie :), I dont remember telling u anything of that sort!
Thanks ithink! And no problem! Go ahead and watch it! Actually the idea is nice, but there are too many loooonng dialogues, and when a mother who almost drowned her baby one moment starts dancing to woo her husband the next moment, you really wonder why you are still watching the movie!
Thanks for quoting me on your blog
, I have come back to my original blog at wordpress.com why? i can make a blog post abt it. so I beg u to edit ur blogroll again :)( I promise this is the last time u’ve to do it)
If my Life was a movie, I would ask nothing to change except for a week vacation every three months, those vacations i could take in any part of the world i want.. be it safaris in south africa, admist the wild on the amazon basin or tasting brownies in amsterdam. well not a really big wish is it
n thx for the PS, I wish I had seen this before I had seen the movie
