Rock On – Zindagi Millegi Na Doobara!

I booked tickets after a lot of thought and persuasion from my brother. As the day neared, I felt a guilty twinge inside me. I was going to watch a movie with my brother, leaving my darling daughter, who is all of eleven months back at home, with hubby dearest. What if she throws a tantrum, what if she doesn’t fall asleep, what if she’s hungry and my hubby doesn’t know it and lot of other ‘what ifs’ haunted me. However with my husband putting his foot down on my taking a time-off, I relented and went along with bro.

The movie we saw was Rock on…and boy, it sure rocked! The movie was essentially about four guys, who used to be a rock band but fall apart due to some reasons (hey, I have to be vague else why would u watch the movie) and how they get back together. It has some stunning performance from Farhan Akhtar. In fact all the four guys in the band have acted brilliantly. But the real star of the movie is the music…its just awesome. My personal favorites are ‘Pichele Saat dino’, ‘Socha hai’ and ‘Tum ho tho’. It’s a must watch for anyone who enjoys a good script, excellent acting and rocking music.

The tagline of the movie went Live your Dream. It urged viewers to think about what they really wanted to do, what their real passion was and pursue that without loosing faith. Like the protagonist, many of us live the seemingly perfect life, but deep inside we know that its not so. Sometimes we forget that our dreams and desire is what completes us and ignites the spark within.

I know we also have to live a practical life. I get it that only if I earn good money with a decent job will I even be able to afford say a guitar class or cameras for photography. But unfortunately we loose ourselves in our dreary life that our dreams and aspirations are all bundled away. Of course, there is also the question of time. As it is we juggle with so many different things in a day. I can hear someone ask, “Where is the time to do one more thing”? Well, only you should answer that…to yourself. As for me, I know that for me to be able to do something, for just myself, like say a dance class or tennis lessons, I have to not only afford the classes but also a good baby-sitter! :)

Anyways, after a thoroughly enjoyable break, I got back home to my sleeping daughter. As I tucked her in, I silently vowed to myself that I won’t be engulfed by the repetitive, dull living, I owe it to myself, owe it to her as well.
