Entangled

You are sitting in front of your laptop and suddenly the urge rises in your mind, to listen to a song. The desperation surprises yourself, but before you could understand the intensity of that urge, you find yourself searching the headphones. You think for the moment that for all these times, these were laying in front of me then what was in the fraction of that moment which changed everything and now you put them on hurriedly. You start the song and plug them in. Before you could respond to the melodious voices and rhythmic music, you see the wires of headphone are all entangled. You want to enjoy the song but your mind tells you to clean up the wire mess. You pick up the intertwined dump of wires and try to clean up the knots. For the first minute, you try feverishly, in the back of your mind you realize that the song is going on and you are missing all the beautiful pieces of music. Still you concentrate hard on the knots. Suddenly you realize your temples are wet. Am I sweating? You ask yourself startled. You know that you are tensed, but you can not grasp the notion that few knots are making you tense. Then you realize that its not the wire knots, its all about your life. You think your life has many such aspects which you need to work on. The more you try to work out things, more complex they become. A simple, trivial thing suddenly takes shape of giant trouble. The entangled knots seems to clench your throat invisibly and you struggle for the breathe. The more you force, more tightens the grip.

All you need is to take a deep breathe and search for the endpoints of the headphones. Same applies to life. Rather than smashing here and there, you need to get to the root of the problem and improvise your decisions. If you work out things one by one, there comes time when you achieve a skill, at that time, how much ever may the wires be entangled, you will never fail to open it. Eventually, we need to understand one thing, life is full of opportunities, rather than feeling sorry for the lost opportunities if you take care of oncoming ones, you will find yourself humming to melodious music of optimism. After all, if you miss the song, you can always play it back. 

Redemption

I have done many bad things in my life knowingly or unknowingly. I may have hurt many people without intentions. But as Gita said, there is always chance for redemption. I felt the urge to punish myself to understand the pain of others. I remembered the way mentioned in the ancient christian organization called Opus Dei. The believers used to crucify their body with the knifes or other lethal instruments in order to clean up their sins and ask for forgiveness to the almighty. But I choose the most dangerous and perilous punishment for me, I decided to watch Ra.One.

Within first 10 minutes, I almost fainted. My roommate misunderstood it thinking I may have slept, but I reached deep levels of unconsciousness. Next day I again started from the point where I left. But I guess my body and mind was not strong enough to sustain the pain. Finally on 3rd day I completed the movie. The movie starts with some lame actress explaining the impossible technology in very crude way using jargon words like waves, virtualization etc. What made ShahRukh khan to create the South Indian character with curly hairs. It was a total mismatch. His lame repetitive jokes with ayyo as prefix or postfix were pathetic. Shah rukh giving lip-sing to Akon's voice was a perfect mismatch. Out of nowhere, the lights on mainframe servers starts blinking when everybody is enjoying in the party. 'Something evil is taking shape meanwhile when nobody has any clue', is typical bollywood script writing. Ra.One taking Takashi's form and that Chinese guy walking through the public with devil eyes are perfect cinematographical copies from movies like Matrix, Resident Evil. The train chase sequence ended with the copies from Speed and Spiderman. Whole CST station showed to be collapsed for no good reason. And the pathetic ending where a 12 years boy reincarnates the G.one using high end technology with home desktop. Ohh..I forgot Arjun Rampal was also there in the movie na?? He may have thought the whole shooting as some modelling competition as he could flex muscules all over his body but could not move a single muscule on face to give some expression. I thank the script writers of Ra.one to end movie when G.one reborns, because the Marriage of Kareena with Shahrukh would have reached the digestive limits of even typical bollywood watchers and rather than normal people, zombies would have come out of cinema halls.

There were movies like Tashan and Chandni Chowk to China, but no one can ever replace Ra.one. This movie will also have special place in my heart (called crap) and my hard disk (called non-recoverable permanently deleted data)
