Pursuit Of Happiness…

August 20, 2008 7:14 pm

Her: I think the point of life is to run after what is important and not give up until you have it.
Me: But how do you know what is important.
Her: Happiness, of course. Everybody deep down wants to be happy.
Me: But not everybody is happy all the time, are they?
Her: I don’t know.

Beauty…

August 14, 2008 11:13 pm
I guess I could be pretty pissed off about what happened to me… but it’s hard to stay mad, when there’s so much beauty in the world. Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once, and it’s too much, my heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst… And then I remember to relax, and stop trying to hold on to it, and then it flows through me like rain and I can’t feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life… You have no idea what I’m talking about, I’m sure. But don’t worry… you will someday.

- Finishing Lines… American Beauty

When I first watched American Beauty it was on a television movie channel. I had heard so much about it and wanted to know what it was about. What impressed me then the most was the ending of the film… that line(above quote) struck a chord with me… Far away from understanding the movie, back then I thought it was an above average movie. Blame it mostly on the overly censored movie channels (it was the clipping of what was considered ‘bad language’ that bothered me more than the nudity) and the ad breaks that just ruined the flow of the movie.

Beaches have this amazing ability to soothe me… When I am next to the sea, my thoughts are always clear and worries seem to just dissolve away… Words just seem to flow…

The waves have a way of making you feel like a giant and dwarf at the same time… I have rarely stood at the beach and have not been humbled by the sea.

Ps: The only regret this time was that the sky was cloudy and I could not see any stars… That would have made the moment perfect.

We are a spark from the great fire that was ignited many billions of years ago

- Quote from Sophie’s World

That has to be the most beautiful way to describe the relationship you, me and everyone on this planet has with the the Big Bang :)

What Would You Wish For?

July 23, 2008 2:26 pm

Her: What is the one thing you want most in the world?
Me: What?
Her: Lets say a genie pops up in front of you and is ready to grant you a wish what would you wish for?
Me: What is all this about?
Her: Ok, forget the genie… Lets just say that can wish for one thing right now, what would you wish for?

Lies within me…

Sach toh yeh hai kasoor apana hain
Chaand ko chuune ki tamanna ki
Aasamaan ko jamin par maanga
Phool chaaha ki paththaron pe khilein
Kaanton mein ki talaash khoshboo ki
Aarjoo ki ke aag thandak de
Barf mein dhundate rahein garmi
Khwaab jo dekha chaaha sach ho jaaye
Isaki humko saja toh milani hi thi
Sach toh yeh hai kasoor apana hain
-Javed Akhtar (Main Jahaan Rahoon[mehfil mix] - Namastey London)
