K3G!

Watching K3G from the beginning is an "experience" in itself! I had literally nothing to do in this isolation and my mind started wandering off through the list of movies on Netflix when this movie suddenly came to my mind out of nowhere.  I like it when such things 'come' to me! on their own. I can't put a tag on this occurrence but I find it magical! 

So, it immediately took me down the memory lane when the titles started. I had these emotions and feelings bubbling inside me and I could only look at few of them if not all. One of them was this- I think this was the first movie that I had watched in theatres with my friends , I was in Year 8. THAT was a big thing for me. oh yes. Having a 'group' of friends to go watch movies was a big thing for me. Because it rarely happened and I used to yearn for such events to happen and somehow it used to get jinxed and it never really worked out. It started making me so upset about the fact that 'none of my plans with friends ever actually work out'. I didn't know it then, but it started making me anxious. I could only see that feeling coming up again and then knew I have faced this before. 

Coming back to the movie, yes it was totally cliched, it had heaps of examples of patriarchy which I always fought all my life, it was unapologetically cheesy, boldly stereotypical. I was not like any of the characters in the movie, I definitely wasn't the vivacious Anjali, neither was I oh-so-hot Poo. I liked the movie for the fact that it paints a picture in front of you and makes you desire that world. I wasn't those characters, but maybe I secretly wanted to be like them. That's the beauty and irony of these bollywood movies. People like it because they know its not real, but they'd wish it to be real. 

Those were the days when I got angry when Amitabh Bachhan slapped Hrithik (like I knew them!) Watching my old time crush SRK and the newest crush at that time, Hrithik on big screen, wearing gorgeous clothes and gushing over their smiles, laughing our hearts out while watching Kajol turn into this beautiful, affable Anjali and rehearsing her dialogues, Hrithik and Kareena saying those overtly dramatic dialogues, hating (and loving) Kareena for her overacting, this was all like a treat! Because it transcends me into a time I enjoyed and will cherish all my life. 

There have been thousands of memes on K3G, I have laughed at it too but it still is a classic. And I think I'd always watch it. This is one of the movies I'd want my kids to watch it, they'd probably wont get the references, but I am sure I'll make them watch it (just like the HP series, this would be non-negotiable!)

वो भी क्या दिन थे ! जब ज़िन्दगी काफी आसान थी. 

मुश्किलें कम थी और हँसी खुशी ज़्यादा थी. 

जब २ दोस्त एकही ईरफ़ोन एक एक कान में लगाके गाने सुनते थे. 

प्लेलिस्ट  नहीं होती थी, "इसके बाद मेरा वाला  " इतना काफी था

खूप आनंद होत आहे मराठीत लिहिताना!!!! 'लंबी जुदाई' ऐकत होते... इमरान हाशमीच्या ' जन्नत ' मधलं नव्हे... 'हीरो' मधलं....काही आठवणी जोडल्या गेल्या आहेत ह्या गाण्याशी.... दोन वर्षांपूर्वी पहिल्यांदा हे गाणं आपलं वाटलं होतं.....त्यावेळच्या काही घटनांशी त्याचा संबंध होता..... किती रडले होते मी तेव्हा... कालही डोळे पाणावले.... आणि हसूदेखील आलं! .... आता खूप बालिश वाटतात त्या गोष्टी.... पण तेव्हा तेच माझं जग होतं...निदान मला तरी तसं वाटायचं....लोकांना फार फालतू वाटतं हे गाणं...मला लोकांचा राग येतो..माझ्या वैयक्तिक आवडींविषयी मत व्यक्त करण्याचा अधिकार त्यांना कोणी दिला... इथे मला एक प्रश्न पडतो. इतरांच्या आवडी-निवडींविषयी मी कधीच मत व्यक्त करत नाही. जरी मला त्या गोष्टी आवडत नसतील तरीही....प्रत्येकाच्या स्वतंत्र आवडीनिवडी असतात....आणि इतरांनी त्यांचा आदर करावा...मला जर हे समजू शकतं तर बाकीच्यांना का नाही?? मला अशा माणसांचा फार राग येतो.... त्यांची सोबत नकोशी वाटते....माझ्या काही मैत्रिणी वागतात अशा....नाही पटत मला ते.....

Sahaj suchlela!

जुनी गाणी ऐकणं माझा सर्वात आवडता उद्योग! कधी कधी तर वाटतं काही चुकतंय कि काय आपलं ? वेगळे आहोत का आपण माझ्या वयाच्या बाकीच्या लोकांपेक्षा ? पण मला माहिती आहे, असं  नाहीये, कारण माझ्यासारखे बरेच आहेत खरं  म्हणजे. खूप आठवणी निगडित आहेत ह्या गाण्यांशी, त्या वेळच्या भावना, मनातले विचार, हे सगळं डोळ्यापुढे उभं राहता अगदी! त्यातल्या बऱ्याचश्या भावनांना सद्य परिस्थितीत काही अर्थ नसतो, बऱ्याचदा हसूच येतं ते सगळं आठवून , कि आपण कसे बालिश होतो. पण तरीही ते सगळं, ते  दिवस, तेव्हाचे आपण .. छान असतं त्यात रमणं. शान्त आणि सुखद! लहानपणी झोपताना रोज रात्री आईकडे हट्ट  असायचा,"गोष्ट सांग ", "गाणं म्हण"  आईजवळ झोपणं आणि तिच्याकडून गाणं ऐकणं हे तेव्हा ही स्वर्गसुख होतं आणि आत्ताही! आईचा आवाज खूप गोड होता आणि अजूनही आहे. फार कौतुक वाटतं मला ह्या बाबतीत आईचं, गाणं शिकली होती ती , आवड आणि  प्रतिभा दोन्ही होतं , मनात आणलं असतं तर ह्या क्षेत्रात काहीतरी करण्याची पूर्ण क्षमता होती, पण परिस्थितीच्या ओघात नोकरी जास्त महत्वाची होती आणि मग गाणं मागे पडलं . मला आज ह्या गोष्टीचं थोडसं ...

Loneliness...This is one of those things i  am most scared of..Does one feel lonely because of other's behaviour? Or is it self-inflicted? I am trying to find out actually..I think its just a situation created by our own..It can lead someone to take a drastic step such as suicide..But one has to understand that ending your life will change nothing , except you will lose a chance to make this life beautiful .It is only you who would suffer and guess what ..You would not even know that! R u getting me??         I would really want to disuade people from doing so. No problem or situation in the world is such that you need to end something as precious as a LIFE! Your Life!!
