Imitation

Imitation, is an art. Yes it is. Whether it is in the form of mimicry or imitating a jewelery design or a painting of a master. All these require great skills ranging from observation to more observation and some more observation!

Not everyone can copy! It is important to get all the aspects of the object right.
From the voice to the stance
The swagger to the dance,
It ain't nothing
But the deep observation and not just a glance.
It requires paying utmost attention to the details, the minutest of details.
So how can it not be an art?

"Just Friends"

Public Display of Affection (Or PDA as it is commonly known) is, well, as is self evident - a public display of affection. There was a time when this phrase was more commonly used for lovers! (And not for the "Just Friends" category of people). However, with time, even its connotations have greatly changed, keeping into account the changing trends! A publicly given hug or public holding of hands or publicly keeping one's hand on the other's shoulder etc were forms of PDA. In cases of "Just Friends", there was no PDA. No holding hands, no hugs, no resting heads on shoulders etc etc. There was always a distance (both physical and emotional!). But today's friendships are very Close. Everyone seems to be claiming - "Ooooh, she/he is a very close friend of mine!" (These "Close Friends" are generally, almost always, of the opposite sex and NO they are not the Bf/Gf of the person so claiming, Mind it!) The number of close friends has increas...

I FEAR

Poet - Anonymous I feared being alone until I learned to like myself ... I feared failure until I realized that I only fail when I don't try ... I feared success until I realized that I had to try in order to be happy with myself ... I feared people's opinions until I learned that people would have opinions about me anyway ... I feared rejection until I learned to have faith in myself ... I feared pain until I learned that it's necessary for growth ... I feared the truth until I saw the ugliness in lies ... I feared life until I experienced it's beauty ... I feared my destiny until I realized that I had the power to change my life ... I feared hate until I saw that it was nothing more than ignorance ... I feared ridicule until I learned how to laugh at myself ... I feared growing old until I realized that I gained wisdom everyday ... I feared the future until I realized that life just kept getting better ... I feared the past until I realized that it could no longer hur...

It's all about loving your parents..

Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham was all about loving your parents, or so Karan Johar wanted us to believe. Though that is a moot point, I am not concerned with it. Irrespective of what it was, K3G is and will remain (I hope for sometime more!) one of my favourite movie. Even though the storyline did not exactly justify the tagline (as per all the people who exert influence on my thought process :D), yet, the tagline did and always does make me think. So does the dialogue by SRK to kid brother Hrithik - "ज़िन्दगी में कुछ बनना हो, कुछ हासिल करना हो, कुछ जीतना हो, तो हमेशा अपने दिल की सुनो, और अगर दिल से भी कोई जवाब ना आये तो अपनी आँखें बंद करके अपने माँ और बाबा का नाम लो, फिर देखना तुम हर मंजिल पा सकोगे, हर मुश्किल आसान हो जाएगी, जीत तुम्हारी होगी, सिर्फ तुम्हारी." Filmy as it is, the strength of it can be tested in real life. It works :) I remember my mom telling me something similar (when I was fretting for an impending exam!) much before it became popular by K3G, though ofcourse no...
