Beyond the horizon...!!!!

Was watching this Malayalam movie 'Sukrutham' after long and it kinda shook my senses off very badly... sometimes hard realities of life uproot us totally and you try to find a base to your existence.. The movie talks about Ravi Shanker who miraculously escapes from the deadly arms of cancer with his dedication and perseverance .. gets back to life and realises that even though he has come back.. everyone else has moved on.. the movie ends on a negative note where he crushes his new life.. and puts an end to his terrifying loneliness... it really moved me..made me realise the shallowness of life without someone around you... the void which will form in the absence of a dream in our lives...

We all cherish and nurture some dream or the other at each phase of life. Some of us leave everything and everyone behind chasing that dream of ours.. and in the end get back to where we belong realising that what we were looking for all this while was actually within us... 'Sapnon se bhare naina' from the fab movie ' Luck by chance' amazingly captures this reality through its mesmerizing tune and the so close to life lyrics. This one song is one of the million reasons I have immense respect and admiration for Shanker Mahadevan, the musical maestro! Javed Akthar saab belongs to a divine league altogether..

'Sapnon se bhare naina' depicts the chase in all of our lives.. the chase that at times leaves us in a huge void but some other time takes us beyond the horizon of our make believe world..Even though the movie didn't do that well as expected this one song am sure got all the desired and deserved attention..one toast to all the aspiring talents in the wonder industry of movies. Someone rightly said once..."Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not. We must remember that what you now have was once among the things that you only wished for.."The journey continues forever..we still go on thinking our destination has not been reached and forget to 'live' the life that we have been gifted with..it is by all means the journey that matters not the destination.

We have to always know that what is not started today is never finished tomorrow...Wordsworth once said "As high as we have mounted in delight..In our dejection do we sink as low.."Let's not let this happen... we should maintain the rhythm of life during highs and lows..and its true that what we dream of will be ours..Sometimes we know the path..but dont know where it will lead..not knowing where we will end up should inspire us to trod the less chosen path..There is no better time to be happy and content than now..so make happiness a journey life life and not a destination..Let our dream be like the sun..as we tred towards it... let it cast the shadow of our burden behind..

"Only as high as I can reach can I grow, only as far I seek can I go, only as deep as I look can I see, only as much as I dream can I be..Now, bring me that horizon!!!"
