It's about life!

I was logging out of yahoo and saw an article saying ‘celebrities who conquered cancer’, it was a must read. I read about Lisa Ray, Barbara Moori, and Lance Armstrong, while I was reading Lance’s article it stated that he has written a book as well about his recovery from the disease. I became more fascinated so I just googled it and read the review and that was enough to log on to flipkart.
Its not about the bike’ its a story of an athlete’s struggle on the peak of his career at the age of 25 from the disease called cancer. The word itself is devastating. How shattered one would feel when he goes for a check up and hears ‘ you have cancer’ and that was it for Lance Armstrong. World’s number one cyclist and 7 times champion of Tour de France. He tells everything right from his distorted childhood, his love for the bike and his various achievements and struggle that Lance and his mother did. It was so quick he writes, form hearing the words you have cancer, then getting the X-ray reports of the lungs where he was detected of tumours that were malignant to finally the brain surgery. It was the cancer of stage three and he had 3 percent survival chance, disclosed in the later chapters, the doctors didn’t tell him though. He fought like he never did, never in his cycling career. The chapters on chemotherapy that broke down a iron like athlete’s body is something you cannot miss out thinking all the time after you’ve read the book. I just lived through the book, all the chapters I could see him suffering and then recovering and winning the battle of life. The book cannot be rated high on literature stuff and writing but on humane aspect it’s a master piece ‘ a hope’ for the bearers of cancer and for the ones who have survived it. His wife kik too is a lady to watch I mean the patience she had and the way she supported Lance after his treatment to get back to his career is something we all should learn a lesson from. All she did was believe in him and in his potential to ride again and win.
A patient of cancer who had only 3% chances of survival, hits back and gets on track is what ‘its not about the bike’ narrates. After horrifying sessions of chemotherapy and his recovery in about an year, his phase of depression where nobody believed he could get back to professional cycling , all the odds that he faced but fought through is very stirring. Not only did he rode back but won the ‘Tour de france’ best of cycling on earth, a 21 days challenging and nerve racking race. He defeated the disease as well.
Live strong is the name of the foundation that he started,it tells you everything about the disease, right from diagnosis to the treatment and after care. Follow the link http://www.livestrong.org/

Saat khoon maaf, my review!

It teaches a very good lesson to the guys who are getting married or think of marrying ever;-), `dude do have a look!
You’ll definitely get the answer of what kind of husband you should not be seriously! otherwise there is a chance of you being killed, there’s susanna in every girl, keep that in mind;)
Susanna, the kind of psyche she has could be described as a darker shade of a normal woman, but normally when there is a quest between good and evil (your soul) the good one takes over, unlike susanna. She wants to love and be loved whole heartedly , gives a second chance too but doesn’t cope beyond that .There is no ‘happily ever after’ for her actually . Like 7 sins if there were 6 kind of people you shouldn’ t marry, Naseeruddin Shah, Irrfan Khan, John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Anu Kapoor, Alexansdr Dyachenko, portray each one of them.
Each frame of the movie is a delight to watch, what you call a visual treat, Saat khoon maaf surely is. The cinematography is like you reading a beautiful novel, gets imprinted in you. There’s a sense of freshness a different angle to common situations and scenes, be it lighting, the corners, props, objects,colours or actors, gets penetrated in you. Priyanka chopra is lucky to get a chance of portraying such role and she has done justice to it. Vivan shah is a surprise package, very natural. Overall it was like reading a novel, chapter after chapter pretty engaging though.

Being unemployed!

As embarrassing as it may seem..but that is the scene now..we hear that unemployment is one of the biggest problem India is facing...and I am now a part of it..like a old boring straight black and white picture in the lot of vivacious page three celebs..not feeling proud though, its hard to explain actually..we get up in the morning `aimless’, brush our teeth, freshen up and go to college everyday. That is it! It is like everyday same cd is played to you and you are bound to watch it, rather perform it in my case..sounds so seal like doesn’t it? >>Seal, a diverse group of semi-aquatic marine mammals that are filthy, fatty and lazy..laying beside the big sea..ships passing by other sea animals busy hunting and moving along but we the seal type we just relax, back rested, mouth open..we comment on the passer bys, make fun of them though we know where we stand,..nah! we understand where we `lay’ to be precise..we are like the load on India’s bend shoulders, like another bunch of losers who just increase the traffic and swarm in public places..members of a long queue...the extras of the lot who board the metro at last and increase suffocation.. like ‘Z’ its the one who knows the feeling of being last ...being the last of 26 alphabets..not many words are made up with it even..it must be afraid all the time of its dignity whether the child reciting A B C D would make it till z ? will it be left ? will the child remember it?
God its so embarrassing..but you know we actually are relaxing..just making the best of the time we’ve got ..end of MBA it is...sooner or later we’ll get there..where we want to see ourselves, till then we are enjoying ‘being unemployed’!

Light!

Moments of despair,
and things beyond repair
possibilities lies nowhere
and the future says beware..

I strive for that one ray of hope:
as the misfortunes are beyond my cope;
there says almighty-"

what you are going through is life!
Wounds and despair shall make you strong..
& this utter strength shall make the future bright
don't worry dear son for I shall be your LIGHT!

Big thought!

I don’t know if anybody has seen this movie ‘’ BIG FISH’’ but it is worth writing a post..its an old movie release of 2003 starring unknown actors n actresses but trust me guys it is a master piece..I could instantly relate this word to it..
Its an unimaginable thought of writer where a father used to tell stories to his son..describing real life situations to him..the son could never relate them and began to hate his father..its towards the end where the story unfolds itself to a beautiful beginning..
That story left me pondering ,about people who can have such thoughts! Such emotions! Such a thought process and such a way of dealing with life where each and everybody has its own way of settling scores with it or taking it as it comes..the character had the unique way of dealing with life..he made it beautiful! Interesting! And worth living!..nobody was able to understand his way.. he was acting God, making things , characters and stories..our life is also a story..everbody’s life is..but we only perform it and he used to direct it..
I know its unreal but one thing that can be learned from him is that,if things are not working your way..make your way worth waiting..:-) create your own legacy!

The everlasting fear..!

5th may 2010 was the starting of my summer internship in Bhilai steel plant..though I dint join it on the same day..i was supposed to..today is 7th july and I am still here sitting at home..internship over..whatever time I've spent here, whatever moments I've had ,that comfort, relaxation and belongingness would never return in my life again..I'll miss my parent's scolding, watching television together..fighting for the t.v remote..Stupid discussions of shows as if they were part of our lives..
Though i am living in hostel from past one year but this time it's a different feeling..my MBA would end in june2011..i'll start working, so would never get time to live as family again..tutu is now married..she has to start a new life, in her own way..like she always wanted..I'll miss being a kid..being dependent on mummy, papa and tutu..he he!! i am the youngest..and being the youngest my friend has many.. too many advantages:-)i have had taken care of all of them..
I just pray to god to give me peace and stability and healthy being of my parents and sister. Last year, I don't like thinking about it at all the time..it seems as if it were a bad dream, some other life, some other me and some other's mother..the pain she had suffered is there in my heart ,intact! I wish it shouldn’t have happened but it all did happen and has passed away..I thank god for that!
I wish people around me to change and some changes in me too..I want to become wiser and soft spoken but how can I be that? How long could a man pretend? I cannot!..see..the confusions..it has always been like that..I cannot decide these things..they happen..so its better that people should change, become wiser, less trouble creators so that a healthy and sound mind does its work properly..STOP disturbing me!people!
I’ve become superstitious, idiotic and sometimes behave like a maniac..that all comes out of frustration..of not being with family..of every mistake I’ve done in my life due to carelessness and due to whatever happened last year..I know that particular thing has changed me a lot, my scattered and divided attention towards various things has concentrated and is there inside me in the form of everlasting fear, tension and breakdown, because of whatever mummy had gone through last year..that fear would always remain with me..my head sometimes bangs and I can never guess what worries me..but somewhere in my heart it is because of that..
People close to me know that I was not like what I am know..something has made me that way and that particular emotion is fear..the fear that I would lose someone dearest as my life..BUT all that is over now..i am relieved..
I wish aaall izz well in the times to come..!
