What if????!!!!

I am all of a sudden reminded of this Tamil movie 12B. It was actually speaking a movie with a different script but didn’t click well with the audience. It captures two ‘lives’ of the hero. One where he misses a bus and one where he actually gets into the bus. Yes the question there again is ‘what if?’ It is amusing to think how it would have been if things were otherwise.(Guess this surprise break from routine is really making me ‘Think’ lol)

Life does not always give you a choice. It seems at times that this life too short or rather too small for the word ‘hate’. I have discovered that when you are left with no choice you kind of disconnect yourself from what you truly want and all that is left is compromise. That is when you tend to pose this question to yourself. ‘What if things were otherwise?’ Like someone rightly said, “When you have to make a choice and you don’t make it, that is in itself a choice.” Some times you cant’ have what you are longing for even if you sacrifice everything else for it.

Some situations in life make you wish to go back to how it was before. To bring back those memories and moments. To walk through the same ways yet again and to dream those dreams once again. I am just wishing for something like the rewind button in a music player. Don’t feel the need of the ‘shift delete’ button anymore. If you could actually get there and change or correct things which led you to where you are this moment. Quite a realistic wish I see :)

Hariharan sir has always amazed me with his soul stirring voice. ‘kaash’ remains an all time favourite. This particular song did not get noticed when compared to the title track of the album. Mesmerizing is what I can call this track ‘Jhoom le’ from the album ‘Kaash”.

This one song for all those memories that I want to bring back ..those moments and those smiles…those smiles and tears..those hopes and dreams dreamt. Life indeed takes twists and turns. Sometimes you long to get back right there and might not really be able to do that. Doing so you kind of end up living these two rather strange ‘lives’ simultaneously and to end up in a state of bewilderment. But yes the truth is there is only this moment..there is only this..or else life is yours that you will miss..so make the most of it.. walk in the rain.. feel the breeze.. dream of dreaming yet again..

“Where ‘you’ used to be..there is a void in my world.. I see myself constantly walking around that during day time and falling in at night.. And I am glad then I didn’t know it all would end the way it all would go.. Am afraid you don’t want me to say anything. These words may stay forever in my heart locked inside..may be there are words locked inside you too.. May be I will never know.. what if???!!!”

sangee... somewhr this feel of negativity is settling in.. never let it.. ur post is not nostalgic.. it could have been.. bt the negative energy is more specific here. never do that

with 12B .. i am not commenting on that.. u must watch the original version of it... Blind Chance by kieslowski... (one of my fav directors). he has given 3 options in the film.. grabbing the train, missing it, missing it but going in a flight.. and there is a story of O.Henry.. where the protagonist reaches a cross roads and is presented with 4 roads.. but at the end.. he dies in all th 4 cases... the incidents in between changes!!!

thats life.. whatever possibilities opened up to you.. its your capability to make it the best! for every dark nights.. they ll b day breaks.. try enjoyin both!!

you have people around you to love you and take care of you at present. never be worried abt th past.. stay in present and remain blessed and haapy!!!

one of the reasons why people hold on to memories so tight is because, memories are the only things that never change when everything else does..!!

Quite true...but never cling on to certain memories. They will never bring happiness to ur present and future..move on..rock on...IN LIFE.

god bless.

Now this is intense. There are times we all wish that we could go in past and make a choice or not make one or just do something differently than what we did. But then we would end somewhere else in present, not quite what we are now and that would mean we would miss a lesson or the realization that we have today; that need to change the past.
