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 not in such filmy words!

Everyone loves their parents but realize the extent of love when they go to the hostel :D I have realized it too, in good time :) I think it is only my parents who patiently listen to all the details of my otherwise routine life, irrespective of how busy they are and irrespective also of how irrelevant those details might be to anyone in general. Yet, they listen and show interest too!
With friends, they would listen only to an extent and then move on to topics of common interest or would want you to listen to them instead!
Thus, I whole-heartedly should thank KJo for making me realize that life is all about loving your parents :)
P.S. - A special thanks to the makers of Baghban as well. (One of my other favourites - soppy, soapy etc as it might be :D)
