That sweet innocent smile...

It was a drizzly evening and i was heading back home after the office hours.As usual i was in hurry to rush home and this habit had grown stronger by time since the days i was a school lad.In those days too i used to drift out of the school on my bicycle before anyone could take his step out of the gate and that was kind of proud incident to be boast about in school grapevine next day.But now it's not a thing to brag about anymore but that habit of fleeing out of the gate before anyone else still persists impulsively.


So under the influence of this instinctive habit i was the first one to be out of my office and was driving back home.I was at the lights and a girl,9-10 yrs old, halted near to the left bumper of my car on her bicycle. The bicycle looked like a junkyard residual. The body of the cycle was multicolored...black carrier,red corroded chassis,old worn out tyres,rusty rims... overall the bicycle was flaunting a sturdy look. The girl on it had two thin roughly prepared ponytails and was wearing a sloppy white suit with small flowers printed all over it.

By the time i was observing her, the lights went green.I and that girl,both had to turn left and the girl had to take a right again just at the next lights which were 40-50 meters away. So when i was taking to the left the girl tried to paddle the bicycle from my left front to the right so that she could get beside the divider and could easily take the next right turn which was few meters away. Her speed was obviously slow and i was as usual in hurry and when she was trying to cross my car from the front i honked twice(pressure horns installed in my car are so loud and scary that they can bring your soul and body apart leaving both looking at each other for a second) and she was kind of frightened and tried to slip aside from front of my car as hastily she could.It was sure that her heart might have been pounding at that rate of trillion beats a minute at that time.


Now she was at my right and i was overtaking her and looking at her face to see if she was really scared which i didn't intend to.I was looking into her eyes but she wasn't looking at me.Her head was straight and she just tilted her eyes my side to get a sneak peak of me but without making eye contact,she was just trying to find if i was looking at her or not. May be she was scared of me and was expecting that my stern look would be waiting for her and may be i was going to squall at her.I could clearly see the fear in that little kid's eyes. Her recently red turned pale face was clearly depicting that i scared hell out of her. Though i was ferocious before but her little innocent daunted face expressions made me regret my deed. As her panic-stricken eyes were moving up slowly and gathering guts to look into my eyes.I put a smile on my face realizing that i don't have any right to scare such a sweet kid.
As she looked at my face my smile made all her worries go volatile and disappear into the air.She gave me very cute smile which i had never sensed before on any face.Her glory was on cloud 9 as she had just realized that she was not guilty and no one is going to scream at her. The little heart might have been beating again at the normal speed with all felicity inside.
Eventually i too was feeling happy somewhere in the core as i'd put a smile on someone's face instead of yelling something wrong and hurting a sweet little heart.That day was worth a countable day of my life and i can never forget that moment and that impeccant smile ever....

Special.

Happy Thursday friends.
I know you must be cogitating what is so happy and special about this Thursday. Well before this Thursday i've met 3 other,so called happy days that were named : Happy Rose day,Happy Propose day n Happy Chocolate day etc.I don't think there was something special about these days even 'coz i can do all the things on this Thursday what people did in these special days . So why treating these days special ?? I can propose someone, i can gift a chocolate(better eat it myself) or i can give rose to anyone i want even today.

Actually it's a human psychology to start something with an excuse, like":Okay today is Rose day,so i today is the time to present a rose to him/her." W.T.Efff... Why do you need some special day for everything.

People resolute to do something good or to meliorate themselve on this New Year. But Why New Year only ?? Why don't they think that, like new year , the very next minute is a new too. Why not start all this from next new minute.

Whatever the time God has indued us with, is solely ours. Then why we wait for specific days to do something special. Start right now whatever special you've planned to do.Be spontaneous.Every moment is special,waiting for some special day will upshot in wasting time only.
Cheers !!

'Dhobi Ghat' : An inference....

I hadn't seen a single movie in last one month. One of my friend, who was back in the city after a long, called me up to ask about watching 'Dhobi Ghat'. I said 'Yes' without giving a second thought 'coz i too was planning to watch this movie.So finally we landed up in the theater and got the tickets just half hour before the show.
         I had heard about the movie that it's completely art movie and had mixed reviews from all around. I wanted to watch the movie to see what exactly the movie was all about indeed.What's the hype factor,was it the story or was it only 'The Aamir Khan'.
        Before movie began,we were regularly tortured for 10 minutes by a Verbal Note "There is no interval in the movie,kindly carry your snacks/drinks before the beginning". Screw it man,everyone heard it the very first time, now shut the f*#k up.
        Finally the movie started,it had a very artistic touch since it's beginning.The camera positions,the flow,the direction.One thing i found in the movie was it wasn't carrying exaggerated glamor or say not even equal to normal which is the Numero-uno ingredient of the movies these days. As the script moved ahead, i was looking for a meaty story in the movie.Actually i was unable to figure out the object of the story, it was an aimless script for me for the first half hour.I was rendering a new kinda story at every significant turn of the script.I virtually woven tens of climaxes for the story before it finished.But in the end all those climaxes of my parallel mind were thrashed.
        This story comprised of 4 character Arun,Munna,Shai and Yasmin.The script was tightly woven around the issue of 'Sorrows and Felicity in Life due to Relations'.All the 4 characters were interrelated to each other in the same sense. All of them were seeking a special person,a special relation and hence the Happiness in their Life.
        Arun was a painter and a divorced man,means,for certain not happy with the relation with her wife.He found a perfect woman in Yasmin according to his intellect. So he portrays her in his mind as her true companion and carves it on the canvas as the best Art of his life.Hence induces a Virtual relation with her and achieves happiness.
       Shai, who was seeking a simple,though rarefied , relationship with Arun . But she finally realized that someone else(Munna) was loving him from the core of his heart and it's not Arun,who casually ignores any kind of relationship with her.Hence she understood the real meaning of a relationship in the form of Munna and she finally ignores Arun by tearing apart the address of him which she was recently seeking.
Hence understanding of relationship and happiness is achieved by her.
       Munna was topping around Shai, and was seeking a sensual relationship with her.But in the End he realized that Shai really likes Arun and she has no place for him in that part of her heart.He accepts this truth and achieves a state of mind that accepts Shai only as a friend and nothing else.Hence he evades unnecessary brainstorming and achieves peace of mind and Happiness.
      Yasmin, the Virtual Character in the movie was a newly married girl shifted to mumbai recently,who seeks a true,responsive and loyal relationship from her husband,is actually deceived by him.She captures her each and every feeling in Video tapes and wanted to share them with her brother.But she never/couldn't delivered to him.Suddenly one day she came to know that her husband was keeping her in the dark and he had relation with some other woman.She felt ditched in the relationship.She committed suicide and embraces death.She felt honored to die respectfully rather living such a miserable and disgusted life with no relationship.
      So finally i found this movie an epitome of sweet and bitter tastes of relationship issues and their affects on us.It's about how relations affect our Life.And how the better understanding about the relations can make our life worth living and happy. The ability of Perception is the prime apparatus of our personality to judge people and their feelings about us.Somewhere a part of Congnitive Psychology.

       This was the inference of the movie according to my Notion.
       Well i would say Hats off to 'Kiran Rao' who wrote such an awesome script and then Directed the whole script in such a beautiful and abstract way. 'Aamir Khan' was always my favourite now 'Kiran Rao' is in the list too.
