All about Second Chances!

-

 



Hey Folks,

This is an impromptu write up on a beautiful movie I watched recently. It's not specifically about what is good about this but a topic we all might at least once wish for; If I could only get one chance.

I was browsing through for a good watch amidst my pending workload. I wanted something simple that I could just go by, so I searched for a cheesy rom-com movie. In the array of posters, my eye naturally fell on the one with Rachel McAdams. I have impending love for her from the time I watched "The Notebook". She is a wonderful actress who could light up the whole screen space with just a smile. I had no given clue about any of the other given actors (my trivia around Hollywood is pretty lame).

The movie started with Tim (Domhnall Gleeson) who was a flushed out teenager looking out for his one true love. At first glance itself, I wrote it off as the usual genre. As the movie goes, Tim at 21 years, is getting to know from his father that every man in his family can do time travel. This central theme carries forward the picture. Throughout the movie, Tim uses his ability of time travel to rectify his mistakes and turn the situation in his favour. Quite fondly, he was successful in all of that. 

My idea was struck with second chances. I immediately wanted to be Tim. I just wondered what if it was this easy to identify and recreate our beginnings. Every stupid decision one has made in different phases of life can be cleared, and one can start the life afresh. But going forward into the movie I understood that it might not be that easy to relive and correct those exact precise moments.

For me, this movie is a masterpiece. Trust me, I have no clue about the idea of movie-making. But this movie could have gone wrong in many ways. But the central theme of time travel was threaded along easily without the viewer's analogies being compromised. The universe is a sync of many moments, it's entirely impossible to tweak a tiny fragment of it to fish out the exact moment one loves.  And no matter how successful you are in it, some people and moments are bound to be with us.

As we have no way for second chances, let us make most of the only ones.

Tata-uh!

Regards,

A.

A "Healthy" Read

Hey Folks, I know for a fact that most of you will be social media freaks, if not, at least one or the other way socially connected. After the reel feature aired in Instagram, I got tired of the background music “And it went like”. Phew, it was so irritating to see one transformation after another . Okay guys, I get it, you have lost weight , cleared your pimples etc etc. Great work.  Even when all this was kinda okay...(not really) it was the captions that gave me chills …. It was bucket loads of nonsense of how they lost the weight( not everyone but I saw quiet a few of them). These might have worked for them but I wonder how people sustain in it for a long period of time. Now now, I am no expert in this area but yeah after devouring up Rujuta Diwekar’s Don’t Lose Your Mind, Lose Your Weight,  even the not so qualified layman will be able to identify what is crap and what is not. This book was a gift from my dear friend Anu. She probably gifted the same because of my relentless and b

  Hey Folks, Happy Diwali, peeps! Sorry a little late on that, chaotic lifestyle is the agenda these days. Days just fly by and I have no memory of living through it. Anyway, when life becomes a non-breather, that is when we look out for escapades, right? So, being at the forefront on that note I had a quick getaway to Vagamon last month. The whole trip has been contemplating in my mind from the time I reached back from Qatar. As for everyone, Corona had different plans of screwing us again (sorry for the language, but it is what it is!!) Coming to my rendezvous journey to the hills, was extra special because it was on top priority to travel with my new ride, Meteor 350 (hubby comes after..). As my main motive was a peaceful stay, the choice of place for stay also had to be different. Hotels and resorts were too overrated for me so I kept on searching for a stand out. The search went on and on, that is when my friend randomly suggested this place. I was elated, it was exactly the kind

The Bounce Back

  Hey Folks, It's been a long time. Since the last time I wrote, a lot has happened which kind of put me off track from writing these snippets and my all-time favorite activity "reading". But, as the saying goes "better late than never", right? A small sneak-peek on the wearing off, I came in a fair good contact with a chaotic but happy working system. I landed a job with an awesome human being and a great mentor. And not to mention, my wonderful teammates. I know what you guys are thinking, come on, work and happiness, who are you kidding? But, trust me it is the passion project I always wanted to do. So, in the process of getting into the grind, I had far less time to dedicate to this. Anyway, I'm planning to continue and make time for this and hope this to be there for the long haul. Coming onto the book that I read recently, it was nothing but a light-hearted one which I apparently ordered half asleep. The order got placed and I knew about it when I got
