...Dil Chahta Hai :)

...its 5 am in the morning and i have just finished watching Dil Chahta Hai again....... after the yesterdays night out...
I don't know whats so special about this movie; its the story, the stars, the theme or whatever but whenever I watch this a feel of nostalgia creeps in... the desire to meet friends and to share those moments of laughter, to relive the past grows so strong that it feels like just to break all these bonds and free myself from these responsibilities... I want to relive those bygone days... those days when WE was stronger and mightier than I... those days when it hardly mattered what I want... when ambitions never came in between living the present the best way... those best days of life...

I dont know why but somehow my heart realigns with the line of Akshay(Sid)... " har saal Goa aana to door hum shayad dus saal main ek baar bhi nahi mil paayenge... Najane humari zindigi hume kahan leke jaayegi... Shayad humare raaste alag alag hon..."
But then I console my self with Aamir's line "Nahi yaar hum dost hain aur rahenge aur har saal isi tarah milenge..."

But can we actually meet.. will we be able to meet... Kya zindigi ke ye alag alag raaste hume alag nahi kar paayenge... don't know... don't want to know...

Yahan akele baithkar ye mehsoos karna zada mushkil nahi hota ki Akshay ki linon main kitne sachchai thi... lekin as always that larger than life picture of Aamir overtakes the maturity and the very truth of life in Akshay's character... well why we watch movies not have a look at the realities of life; we are always expecting the Happys Ending(Om Shanti Om Style) aur jab tak happy ending nahi aaye to samajh lo ki Picture abhi baaki hai mere dost...

Well may be whatever we desire may not happen... may be we won't have every one we love around us but we cant afford to leave that belief that some day we shall be together... someday we will have whatever we desire... i think this is somewhere related to being optimistic... May be or may be not...

Whatever but I enjoyed this favorite movie of mine yet another time; I guess this was the 5th time I was watching this movie... but this is so close to heart and you can relate yourself with it so much that it never feels like that again you are watching the same moving its a real good time watching DCH.... i simply love it....

And the last words to all my friends... I love you all... Missing you all like hell...

What makes USA "a Dream Destination for us"?

What makes USA "a Dream Destination for us"?
First up is USA really a dream destination... this is a debatable question and i don't think at this point i m in a position to answer this question completely, but certainly i would like to share some of my view points.
Yes certainly points there are where USA makes itself really a dream destination:
Young professionals like us have a real good exposure to whats new and whats hot here (which may be we are denied of in India; not sure everybody thinks he same way but i feel this is the case with me at least) and a feel of what really Innovation and Out of box thinking means.
As a matter of fact we India are largely focussed on service based solution; in simpler terms we are just drawing business by customizing selling the products made by these people; in turn growing there existing business...
they in the meanwhile are focusing on newer technology and apprehending what more the new user would like. In such a situation while sitting in one of those Service oriented company's in India our creativity is more or less focused on designing newer and more effective ways of drawing business for these US majors.(thereby reducing the vision we should have) We are not given a chance to explore out new areas. Areas where we can be pioneers and the world follows us.
Sitting here in US and working in firm like Microsoft gives an altogether a new paradigm to our approach; our perspectives and targets acquire new directions.
And if its possible for us to carry this new line of thought back to India. May be we can contribute in a much better way; where in, we can be PIONEERS.
And
Excellence is achieved by paving our own path not following the footsteps...
Well may be i have diverted from what was supposed to be discussed, but i think we really need to come out here and have a feel of whats this Innovation really means, whats this out of box thinking means in practical terms. :)
