My take on 3 idiots…..

January 17th 2010…12.13 am

Just watched 3 idiots…second time…to be frank this movie is going in my all time collection list. It’s simply awesome….every thing that we face in real life perhaps no other movie has able to capture it as beautifully as this movie did.

No, I didn’t help someone deliver a baby in my final year of engineering ( I still struggle with Power Electronics I studied in my BE, inspite of working on it for last three years and also teaching it for one year) , neither did I pee at the director’s house… but yes I did some thing similar gutsy and thank my professors for ignoring that mistake…..

Well yes some of you may say…this is not true. Life does not go like this, my answer is… Yes, this is true! Life can go like this, we don’t accept that we can change life according to what we want. The protagonist ….Rancho alias Phunsuk actually makes life go on his terms and I agree to that way. I remember in my college days in one of the lecture we managed to take wada pav inside, gave numerous proxy’s, bunked lectured “officially” did every thing which perhaps normal guy was not doing… we challenged system in our own way no I am not comparing myslf with Rancho….rather over the years I found myself more like Raju.

What I wanted to say is from kind of rebel we became followers. Why this change … why could I not challenge the system now, it is because when you grow and come into the “real world” you adapt a baby…it is called as ‘FEAR’ !!!!

Fear gripped more and more and I found myself facing odd issues and troubles which I thought would never occur in my life, why, b’cos rather than the journey I was always going behind targets. Something what the character Raju was also facing.

Well one decade has passed…ten years since I passed out of engineering and if I wish to analyze what I achieved in life, then perhaps I could definitely say that I had the potential to do much better, however some where I lost track because I was focusing too much ……..

Life / success, make them live on your terms rather you living on their terms, since few weeks I am experimenting some things with my personality. I am slowly releasing grip over fear, I am slowly not focusing on targets, neither am I comparing the speed of my train with others. To be frank this is easily said than done. I read a status line of one of my friends…she had written “ We are not creatures of circumstance rather we are creators of circumstance”… how true.

You are surrounded by people who will keep comparing you with others, that is your real test, leave them aside, think for a moment you are stuck alone in island …what would you do ? you would do every thing to survive …but only initially, once you realized that your stuck you will make that place your habitat, enhance your skills, and one fine day like Tom Hanks in “Cast Away” set off on your own and reach civilization …….. life goes on with or without us… do everything that you feel is right…..and then see the world will also feel the same as you do !!!!! ……3 Cheers to Rancho …… !!!
