Life TAMASHA

I just loved Tamasha and that’s because the film speaks for each one of us as per our understanding.I think the movie is the best film I have seen in a while, I have been thinking about it for a bit and I have downloaded all our songs, especially “ Safarnama” which is so freakin meaningful. It gave me goosebumps.

  We are all “ LIVING “ our lives but not really .

Today my thoughts while I am at home, at work, driving, running or even taking a shower are broadly around how I should complete my monthly sales numbers, how I should fund my next holiday which I want to be in Barcelona, How I should purchase my next car or watch, how I should get Kabir ( my son) admitted in the fanciest school in the world and while the variables might change for different people, the fact that our needs are pretty materialistic and mundane and give us happiness only momentarily.

And how is that really different from what I was doing last year or even five years back or ten years back !!!! ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………BAM,  it is not.

Life really is a race and each one of us is really judgmental about what they have, and it is more materialistic than what could ever be, sometimes even competing with my colleagues and friends can give me a temporary feeling of self fulfillment and achievement but can that really last and last a lifetime ??

Real life is !!!!! well Real life and we have to pay our bills unless we are born with a silver spoon and have an option to explore yourself properly.

 Just think about it, life is really a painting competition in which we have a blank sheet of paper and we can draw/ paint or sketch all that we want, the problem though is that I am sitting in a room full of people who are doing the same thing,  drawing something that looks good and they are vigorously drawing it, So we panic and start drawing what they are drawing, as they seem to know what they really want, and we try and copy them and maybe make it better than what they are doing. We could have drawn a sketch, but end up attempting an shabby oil painting.

Imagination is dead really, for most of us that is, we are in the rat race and although we make good money have a good laugh, but we don’t have a great life, as this is so monotonous and is not self fulfilling at all  but for the temporary sense of happiness.

Think about it once again, we remember so many details of our childhood and even our college( Speaking for most of us) , we don’t remember last year of our lives as well as we remember maybe the 15^th year of our life or even the 10^th year of your life or your college.

How do we get back our life ???? Or can we even get it. The fact is we cant, but can get close and lets try hard to.
