Love as misunderstood by me.....

Few days back (I don't exactly remember when) I was watching DDLJ. The ideal filmi love story where the guy meets the girl, initially there are those I-don't-like-you fights, then they fall in love but by that time the girls marriage is already fixed so then guy tries to win over her family especially her angry dad and at the end her father agrees and everything is just perfectly fine.

So I remember that when this movie was released I was quite young and was in school and this was and is quite popular romantic movie among people especially girls because it portray the concept of there is a prince charming somewhere for every girl who will one day come and sweep her off her feet. So if I talk with respect to hindi films there is a Raj somewhere for every girl. 

Now this post is not about those girls rather this is my take on what is there in it for guys. There are three instances in the movie which I would have love to live (ironically I cannot live the first two but I think I will experience the third one for the same girl). The first instance is when Simran asks Raj what kind of girl he wants. He just answers "Someone like you ". 

Second when they are standing on the bridge and he his playing the infamous " Tujhe dekha to ye jaana sanam" tune and he tells her looking into her eyes that " I love you" and when she is about to believe him he just says I was kidding.  So envious of him that he could do that.


And third which is the only one I will get to experience is when they are parting at the station and she asks him "Tum Meri Shaadi pe aaoge na?" and he just says "NO".

Dad turn sixty

My dad turns sixty today. I feel like asking him Has he achieved what all he wanted to by this time ? Like we nowadays think that after 10 years I should be here or at 30 I should have done this so in the same way he too must had some dreams. I want to ask him all those so if not already  fulfilled, may be I can help him in doing those. 

But may be like they say that a son is more close to his mom then father I also feel that a father n son have that kind of apprehensions in talking with each other. There conversations are mainly short and have subject. 

I still remember when I started going to office three years back I used to come back everyday and tell my mom everything that happened that day , both personal and professional, while standing in kitchen without even taking my shoes off, which I still do. So my dad complained to my sister that I only talk to mom and don't talk with him. I was so surprised to know that. After that I made sure to strike conversation with him after I am back from office. 

But dad is always DAD. He is still the same guy hearing whose jeep's noise I used to leave everything and run for my books. On result days in order to save myself from his scoldings I used to hide in toilets or underneath the bed. 

Ever since I am using a cell phone he calls me on phone when I am late from college or now from office. At those times I find in his voice not that authority of a father but instead its sounds more that of a friendly father. When I am late at night,hanging out with friends, he always used to call asking Are you going to come today? When I was in college this question was more sarcastic but nowadays its more to know if the front door should be kept unlocked. Sometimes he doesn't call, may be thinking that I have grown up now and should be given some freedom but I miss his calls a lot at those times. 

I know he has struggled a lot in his life and he is still struggling. 

One thing I feel bad about him is that he doesn't have any close friend and that scares me a lot. The same with my mom and may be with both of me and my sister. May be Jana's don't have that.  :)


I really want to fulfil all his dreams like Anupam kher says to Sharukh in DDLJ that if you think you are done with enjoying your life then go and enjoy mine. Its just that its the other way around here. I want to tell him that tell me what you want I will do that for you. What all you dreamt as a youngster as a grown up, I will help you fulfil those. Its not that late. 

One thing  I know for sure that he wants to own a luxury car and me and my sister are going to present him one soon. May be we missed the sixtieth birthday deadline but its better late then never. 

May god bless him with the best of health, happiness and everything.
