Life's LKG Lesson

It was a bright sunny morning outside. But,as usual his room hasn't still got out of the dark dusky coldness yet. Credits to the 18° air conditioner and the curtained windows.

Life is not moving the way he wished. No job. No money. Dependency on family. Age 25. No respect among peers, relatives, neighbours. Fear of experiencing one more failure. Loneliness. Social anxiety. All these haunts were loudly screaming inside his mind one by one.

His mind choked. He was questioning himself, Why all these pain and problems only for me. But there was no response.

A sudden cut off to his running thoughts. His ears started paying attention to a 3 year old kid crying loudly outside. He went out to see why, improptu in a hassle way. The little one was crying as it doesn't want to go to school. His parents were busy preparing him for school without paying much attention to him crying. He went near the boy. Laughed at him and asked him not to cry. Said, you are not the only one going to school. Everyone of your age is undergoing this. only if you undergo this, your future will be good. That 3 year old kid was paying deaf ears to his speech and was busy concentrating to cry. In fact it has increased its voice after his speech. The time clocked 9, The little one's mom gave a 5 rupees chocolate to the boy and stared. The kid closed its mouth. stopped crying and started to school not taking eyes off from that colourful chocolate wafer.

The child's attitude has hit his mind. He came inside his darky room. It was too cold inside. He lied on his bed. The outside scenario was flashing through his mind. Without his knowledge, his mind started to connect this to his present situation. Something provoked inside him. He started to think. "I was crying before in this room. The little one was also crying outside. I thought I am the only one getting all this pain. Even the little one was crying vigorously akin to that". Now, his mind was urging him to relate what he told to that kid.

His mind started to bridge the connecting dots. He re collected the words uttered to that kid.
"You are not the only one going to school. Everyone of your age is undergoing this. only if you undergo this, your future will be good". There was a sigh of relief which his mind was experiencing at that point.

Sometimes in our life we cry and feel bad thinking about the current problems and pain in our life just like that kid. GOD will be calmly watching all these not paying much attention to our problems, just like the parents. But just when the clock ringed 9, when the right time comes, GOD also throws a 5 rupees chocolate wafer( self realisation and oppurtunities) to everyone of us. And All we need to do is to make use of it instead of worrying and keep passing our present in the memories of the past.

There was an exuberant amount of unknown happiness filled inside him. His mind was constantly uttering the words.

"You are not the only one going to school.
Everyone of your age is undergoing this.
Only if you undergo this, your future will be good".

Not able to control the cold, he removed the window curtains and covered all around him. At last, there was a feel of warmth inside him. And at last, there was a ray of brightness flashing through the room. :)

96 Movie

As obviously difficult it is, for an employed, to leave the office early on a weekday, after much chaos started from office. Adding to this existing tussles, rain tortured me till the theatre. Finally got into the theatre minutes before the show, with my totally drenched laptop bag.

Straight into the title card credits, there flashed a thanks note to the Nature. My mind was slowly forgetting the hiccups running inside and started clocking the big screen on what #96 is to offer.

Everyone here wishes to be problem free and  happy but no one really is(Atleast whomever I know). To my surprise, there is one such  called Ram enjoying his life happily(Atleast in movies) following his passion, eating whatever he likes and especially not thinking too much. Just when my mind started to believe that he is that hypothetical man without any problems, the letters he writes in the seashore hinted something. Camera slowly started taking off, out focussing the letters he wrote. May be out focussing his problems as well.

We are thrown into the humongous world of Deja-vu reliving the nostalgic memories which everyone is sure to be packed with. This is not the type of movie where you go expecting a high in the interval and climax .Rather there is always an high (eye) on the reality check.

There are so much of sentiments, the movie carries inside. There are so many types of emotions handled. There are so much of pain shown inside. But the biggest credit is none of these will soak you in tears. Rather it will make you strong and throws a different perception to the way we look at what life is all about.

This film is one such which has not taken the liberty of being just a movie and ending the proceedings but rather imprints in everyone's soul a day's life of Ram and Jaanu.

Done with the movie. I was not able to say anything on it. Beginning Title credits flashed a thanks note to the Nature. And the ending title card also flashed a credit to the Nature. Yes... It is for the nature of Ram, inside my heart.

Came out of the theatre. Again it was raining heavily. The same rain which was pouring when I went inside. But it was not the same me who went inside.

Reached home and news was going that the Weather department withdrawn the Red alert issued. My heart smiled and murmured, "This Red alert can never be withdrawn❤".
