My Little Stories

If you know me from Twitter, then you probably know that I am a movie buff. I don’t watch every movie released, but I watch some movies many times to understand what the director wants to tell you. I am not talking about Hollywood’s “world is going to end soon and how Americans are going to save the world” nonsense. I am not talking about Tollywood mainstream hero’s unrealistic, physics defying adventure movies either.

It’s already 8.50am. I got stuck in the traffic, and I doubt I would be on time for the meeting by 9.30am. Somehow, I managed to reach the office by 9.35am, and it looks like the meeting is not yet started. Oh, I didn’t tell you why I am so excited for this meeting, right. It’s actually a workshop, and it’s going to be conducted by Mr Vinod. THE AWESOME VINOD.

Usually, on Sundays we get breakfast and dinner from outside instead of preparing at home. We know a nice place from where we usually get the breakfast, but yesterday we wanted to try some new place. After searching around for 30 minutes we finally found a new tiffin center. I went to the shop and asked the person sitting at cash counter what I want, and she repeated my order loudly to the people preparing the food.

I have been waiting for the movie “Ranga Maarthaanda” ever since it was announced because I am very interested in films, film making process, how the actors lives are, etc. Yesterday the “Ranga Maarthaanda” movie got released, and it is about the life of a very talented and popular stage actor. I have watched the film and since then so many thoughts are going through my mind continuously. Somehow I feel I am doing the same mistakes as the lead character in the movie did, who ended up having a miserable life at the end of his life.

We want better. We always want to get better things in life..better job, better house, better living standards etc. In the process of getting better we pursue new career options, make new life choices. And, we hope with our new choices our life will get better. But, most of the time we forget one thing. Every choice we make might bring some positive things into our life and also bring some new challenges.
