I love the movies!

Its been a wonderful weekend. A bonanaza as far as movies are concerned.I managed to see three wonderful movies after a month long haitus.
The first of the three was George Clooney's 'Goodnight and Goodluck' about the emergence of Television as powerful medium in the 50's. In black and white, the movie was crisp,with wonderful performances and and hardhitting dialogues.
The movie I saw next was 'Being Cyrus'. I quite liked it because its completely different from any of the English Indian movies I've ever seen. No over the top emotions, no melodrama, it is a movie that showcases the talent of Dimple, Naseer and Boman Irani beautifully.The cottage in Panchgani where the film was set, took my breath away.Maybe i'll live in a place like that some day.
The movie I saw today was 'Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind'. I don't know if I have the words to describe what the movie did to me. It is by far one of the best movies I've ever seen. Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet pull you into their lives and swirling emotions so effortlessly. Its a love story that engulfed me and makes me aware that all of us are a bundle of energy and emotions ,our lives centred around people we love and hate.
I plan to see this movie again if I can, to savor its nuances and to lose myself in it once again

I love the ocean

There is nothing in the world that can compare to a glorious sunset on the beach. I love sitting on the cooling sands and watching the orange hues melt into streaks of pink and liac, streaking the waves with their brilliant colours.The rhythmic murmur of the ocean and the cool,cool sand between my toes,the tangy sea breeze,they all come together to create the perfect backdrop for a beautiful masterpiece.
Sometimes a choppy grey, and sometimes a seductive green or a serene baby blue, the constantly changing ocean has been a source of comfort to me. Whenever I was troubled or needed to think, I'd sit on the beach watching the waves and their changing hues. I find the rhythm of the ocean very comforting. I love the ocean in all its moods. It is a blend of beauty, harmony and savagery all rolled into one. Every thing comes and goes like the waves in the ocean. Lets enjoy every moment while it lasts.

Let the music flow!

The tress are swaying ,I hear the rhythimic sound of the waves,the brook is singing her way through the pebbles and I am swaying to the music. Sometimes the tunes are joyous and it sets my feet a tapping,sometimes I hear haunting melody that has the ability to touch my heart. As the music flows I move in rhythm with the universe, celebrating life!

Taking some time out from my hectic schedule has been wonderful .I have been basking in the warmth of 'me time', cherishing every moment,re-charging myself with all the things that I like to do.
I love those quiet moments that I spend with myself. I am completely at peace and I wish that I could maintain that inner peace forever.
This quest for happiness is a little lopsided as the mind keeps moving constantly, hoping that the next thing it latches on to, will bring it lasting happiness. Change is the only permanance and the only constant is the spirit of awareness that travels with us through this journey.This quest for inner calm should move inward.
The trick is to go with the flow and not be swept away.The good and the bad, darkness and light are an integral part of our lives. To expect to be happy all the time is foolish, but I can ensure that I maintain my inner calm,specially when I'm confronting thunderclouds of negativity.After all it is these clouds that bring welcome rain.

Had a terrific time on my birthday,last week.Its the nicest feeling in the world to know how much one is loved. I am one of those who believes that love is meant to go around.People shy away from both accepting and giving. What this crazy, fast paced world of ours needs is caring, an ability to connect with one another. Love makes you vulnerable but also empowers you. What is the point in chasing after money and power if you have no one to share it with.It's upto each one of us to break down the barriers we have errected around us. These barries not only shut out love but also make one a prisoner within. Love opens you up. If one is afraid of being vulnerable then we'll never know the warmth, the joy and the freedom that love brings. Lets us live each day to the brim, with our hearts open to every experience and move to the inner music that can be heard when we tune in to love.
Cheers!
