words of wisdom

These days the most common thing you hear everywhere is obesity and weightloss plans and 30 day weight loss makeovers and so on. When you switch on the television from morning shows to talk shows to commercials everythgin is about weight loss plan! There are so many centers like Jenny Craig and LA weightloss all helping out people to shed some pounds and be healthy. And you also see a new trend that celebrities also involve in advertising how they lost their weight and living a healthy lifestyle.

But I have the total opposite problem that is that I am way too thin! No matter where I go what I do whoever I talk to the first thign they say is man you look too thin. They also say I dont look 19! Yesterday my mum was calling her friends in Sri Lanka and when the person inquired about me she asked “Has he gained atleast some weight yet!” and then when my mum said he looks the same size from the time he left Sri Lanka she said ” I cant believe hes thin eating Canadian food while my son is fat by eating Sri Lankan food!”. Who ever tooks at my pictures or visit me always comment on my weight and it has become so routine that I feel weird if people dont say that! Even in my class I am like one of the thinnest people in class and my class mates make fun of me being so thin and they have even called me a midget! Hehe

But to be honest I eat! Eat alot! Sometimes even more than some people. But I tend to be in the same size sometiems I noticed myself becoming even thinner. People suggested trying the gym too eventhough I couldnt go regularly I still found myself staying the same or just going thin. Why is that? Why am I being so thin without dieting or doing anythign that makes me thin? So I am pleading for help..any suggestions anybody? It would help me alot!

Premier Night
I really wanted to go for the premier of Guru from the time they announced that it was being held right in Toronto. But the ticket prices were way out of my budget that I just thought Ill forget about it and just go and watch the stars arrive for the premier. So finishing my labs at 5 pm on Thursday I straight away went to Elgin Theatre. I never expected to such a large crowd standing outside of the theatre to witness the stars arrive. It was huge! So much media all aorund interviewing various people and it was exciting! The people were literally screaming on top of their voices everytime a car parked infront of the Theatre and asked every vehicle to honk their horns supporting the movie! The premier was suppose to start at 6pm but it was 6.30pm and there was no sign of anythgin taking place. And it was cold as well. But suddenly out of no where this guy appeared in the crowd with a walkie talkie and was announcing that since there wasnt enough people to fill up the theatre they are slashing the ticket prices very low and to buy it from him! I didnt beleive him at first but then I thought this was a chance of a lifetime and quickly bought the tickets! How crazy! Then immediately I was guided to go into the theatre and man Elgin Theatre is just spectacular! It was just a pleasure being in there. Felt so proud. People were crowded all over the place chearing the stars names on and off! But then came the long waiting. Until 9 pm the stars didnt arrive since their plane got delayed from England. I was so irritated until that point! I was literally mad. It was 3 hours waiting! and everybody was complaining about it and was nto sure what was going to take place next. Finally they arrived! The people were going nuts! Like Ive never seen before!Screamign so did I! Aishwarya looked gorgeous, man shes pretty! Wayy too pretty!Stunning! Like an angel walking by waving at everybody. They all were introduced by the Mayor David Miller on to the stage and I saw him! my Guru! A R RAHMAN!. He was so calm and simple and was always smilign at the people. I was screamign so hard that my voice didnt come out after a while. Then finally the movie started!

Movie Experience
I think this is the best movie that came from the Indian movie industry after Rang De Basanti. I dont know if it is a biopic or not but it was made in a way that it felt so real and felt so inspiring. It made you think Dreaming big isnt a bad thing afterall! You will find many failures many forces trying to run you down makign you feel you are doing something wrong. But if you are believing in what you are doing it will become a success so matter what. Its nto a new cocnept. Everybody says believe in your self, have hope work hard. But the way the movie presented it self had a major impact on me than just hearing the work hard chant again and again.

I was never a fan of Abhishek until this movie. He was Fantastic! Hats off to him. Such natural acting talent. Mani Ratnam has coached him well that nothign feels fake. Hes the master of this movie. All the actors are supporting him and theyve done their respective jobs wonderfully! Aishwarya looks charmign in her village looks. Mithun, Madhavan, Vidya have all exceleld in their performance.
Cinematography I dont need to say anythgin about it. It was handled by Rajeev Menon and the village scenes were captured so naturally and appealingly. Last but not least the backbone of this whole movie: Rahman! Ive alreayd done the songs review but the background score was mind blowing. The new song by Sowmya Rao was honey to the ears. It was like the theme of Vidya Balan. Such a great tune. None of the score looked out of place. I just wanted to hear more and more of the music!
On the whole this movie is truly inspiring and regenerates your thoughts and says yes I want to Dream big. Not Big! But BIIGGGGEEER! Keep working hard, hope for the best and youll reach your destiny oen day or another. Well it sort of happened to me too! I always wanted to see my idols oneday..And I got to see them! sicne I never gave hope of nto seeing them! So dream big people! It will happen to you one day without you even knowing!

Seriously I am debating with myself and everybody else in the world, Is it right to love someone? I dont mean just romantically but any form of love that can possibly exists. For me when someone says he loves someone that means it can be defined in three different ways. One, love towards a girl/ guy who has the potential to become a life partner, love towards your friends that doesnt involve the romantic and sexual aspect, and finally the love towards your parents. Lets ignore the love towards God for this argument.

You love someone when that person has made a huge impact in your life or their personality simply intrigues you and you want to learn more from them and be part of their life for the rest of your life. When it comes to parents its all about the unconditional love they provide to you no matter what sacrifices they made in their life and its the respect and gratitude that you show towards them. Most of the time love towards your parents comes without forced, so does love towards others but in the sense of parents its more natural.

But my argument is loving someone the right thing to do? Think about it, how do you feel when someone you love so unconditionally just says to you “this is the END”? How does it feel when someone you love to death just doesnt even have the time to say goodbye as they have to answer the call of nature and be burned to ashes or be rotten with the soil? How does it feel when you have to say good bye to your loved one and just move on to a new place where everythign is simply new? How does it feel when you love somone just forgetting who you are but at the end that person loves some one else? Sometimes how does it feel when you love and pour love onto someone but they dont realise it nor do they have the gratitude towards you but just walks away without even a gesture and totally forget you? The simply answer is its a PAIN.

This pain is nothing like breaking a bone, or burning your skin, or cutting your finger. This is the pain that just kills you day by day. The more you think about it the more you cry, you feel lonely, lost and feel the void in your life. It just hurts! Anybody who witnessed a parent die how do you feel? It must feel cursed! Anybody who saw a friend you loved move away how do you feel? So lonely and miserable!

Then why love? I think Ive witnessed it ALOT in my life, and I think so does a majority of people that the more you love someone the more they leave you! The more you care about someone the more they hurt you. Then why the hell do you need to provide all these comfort? Why do you need to love someone? care about someone ? just sacrifice youself for the sake of someone? They are going to leave someday arent they? Then why? Give me an answer people I really want to know! Is loving someone the right thing to do? Or just ignore everything around you and live as a monk and be as selfish as possible and not need to provide love, or care the best thing to do? Well you wont get hurt or feel betrayed would you? Answer me people plz!
