Lessons learnt from " JAB WE MET "

Honestly speaking, JAB WE MET is one of the awesome movies I have watched in recent times. The story was spot on, the location was spot on , everything about the movie was just too good.

I watched in two parts. The first part was when it was shown on a popular television channel. I was watching the movie, when my cousin turned up, to invite my family to his house warming ceremony. I had already fallen in love with the movie, but this time could not help. I had to switch off the Television, but I dont regret it.

Then the coming week, I went to Dharwad to my cousin's marriage. Now too I could not watch the second part, the thought of which was really haunting me. Finally one fine weekend, I managed to watch the second part of the movie, and mark my words, it was worth the wait.

I ve learnt some lessons from the movie. Last time, I had put up a post about lessons learnt from Dil Chahta Hai. But it was an extract instead. But this time, its my learning curve. So here it goes. (Not many though)

1. Do things which make you happy and the things which you love the most.

Recollect, Aditya (Shahid) was fond of music, but finding no time due to his schedule. But after he met Geet(Kareena) , he re-realised his interest in music. btw what an awesome song, sung by....... I assume its by the Lead Singer of Silk Route. Correct me if I am wrong.

2. Balance personal as well as professional life.

I think its very mandatory to strike a chord between the two. Else you will forget to enjoy life while you chase your dreams and aspirations or you will forget your professional aspirations.

Recollect how Shahid performs @ his peak, after he returns from Manali.

3. To speak your heart out, listen to others' worries , speak about your worries.

Recollect, how Shahid feels when he flushes out the pic of his ex-girlfriend who married someone else. Well its really important to speak out to someone, tell your concerns, and at the same time listen to others worries as well.

4. To take a break, from work and travel.

After I watched the movie, I just felt the importance of taking a break from work. You can travel or do something creative.

5. To completely own your decisions.

This is one of the most awesome things which I came across watching the movie.

Recollect what Kareena tells when they are planning to make an elope from her house. To take decisions that your heart tells, and to own them completely and later, not to blame anyone for the decision.

Well, I want to re-iterate about #1.

1. Do things which make you happy and the things which you love the most.

The thing which I love to do the most, is to crack Jokes. The jokes which I utter is completely spontaneous and has nothing to do with any sorts of preparation. Above all, I do it most, when I meet cousins. But the saddest part is my brother absolutely hates it. He once said " Do you even remember that you are a Software Engineer, and work _ _ _ _ _ ". Well dont know what to make out of it. One thing's for sure, There's no stopping me when it comes to jokes, esp POOR JOKES !!!

Cheers, bye for now !!!
