In those days, before my marriage.. !

I am in that epic period. On the brink of getting married. The period which is going to be referred in my life as "those days before marriage" with a fond, knowing smile. Its a history being created, in my life :)

I am in that golden period, where everything appear to happen in slow motion while actually it's speeding by. 

I am in that period where am singled out and labelled 'BRIDE and given all the possible luxury ever available to any living person. Being a bride is special and once in a lifetime after all :)

I am in that period where everything in colors seem even more beautiful. Blue red white black. And I learn to differentiate between light pink, baby pink, dark pink, rose, panju mittai pink, baby rose, lite rose and thousand other shades. 

I am in that period where I spend money and nobody asks me why or tell me not to spend. When they actually ask why I am not spending and if am feeling okay if I don't spend buying new things :) 

It's that period of time where any wedding scene or song come across as the best thing I have ever seen or heard.

That period where the entire world including my mom teases me about THAT guy and make me go red in face!

It's that period where everything I do is associated with the guy, who, poor guy, has no clue as to what's happening.

It's that period where I get to steamroll the guy into accepting that yellow is indeed better than red ;) 

It's that period when our entire family wishes us luck when we say we are going out to dinner :) 

It's that period where I seem to have second thoughts about google. The only time I can assure. When I browsed  a yellow with blue saree, it didn't throw up great results :( 

It's that period where my friends come home and the first thing we do is a high energy hifi and talk at the top of our voices.

That period where even if am on shower, my mom brings the phone to the bathroom telling me that the call is from the 'maaplai'. Earlier it used to be a nice telling off that I never put my phone down.

In that period where my tired face was construed to be due to a result of some fight with my guy.

Where the entire family shows so much confidence in me that I am dazzled. Sample:

When I forget to turn off gas stove and let the milk over boil, my Perima goes like, she is now dreaming, wedding ku aprom paaru, she will be brilliant! 

Feeling incredibly blessed :) 

God

Earlier, I had written a post about the ultimate Director - GOD, here. When I told this friend of mine that my next blog post topic is GOD, this is what he had in mind. He was kind enough to send it across to me. I was surprised to see how very different his post was from what ever I had in mind. Thank you K, for the generous post. Anyway, here it is..

Directors say directing tough and acting varathu actors are tough. Producers say budgeting for a film and financing a movie is more risky and tough. Music directors say creating BGM and making tunes for songs forms the toughest part in making a movie. Likewise every technician has their own view point, they either say their work is the tough or gives credit to the other technician.

Awards are given to best directors, producers, screen play writers, actors, music directors and so on and there are different awards. Different bodies around the globe give different awards. We hero worship actors, movie makers and applaud and hail them high for their contribution to the film society.

Most of the movies or serials or sitcoms are not shot live. So there is chance to correct errors. Imagine a live movie shot with trillions of people, each person has a unique character and is different from each other and the responsibility of the person making the movie has to be the director, the producer, the camera man, the producer, the script writer to the clap boy. This person responsible has to create different genres such as action, suspense, thrill, crime, love, romance, sex, sympathy, tragedy at a time in different places simultaneously.

The only person who can compete with this person is our very own “Tamzihaganthin thanmana singham” Vijay TR and guys I’m not talking about him.

This live movie is shot in a place called Earth and the person responsible in creating this amazing live action, drama, comedy, crime, sex, sympathy, tragedy, romance is called “GOD”. He scripts the journey of our lives from birth till death, our happiness, our relationship, joy and our learning. When we come from the movie we always thank the directors and script writers for the excellent movie (if it’s good) but when we take a step back and question ourselves , have we ever thanked “God “ for scripting our lives , scripting our relationship that we want, scripting success. I personally say I don’t thank him. When there is a tragedy or failure or sorrow I blame him but I don’t thank him during happiness and also don't thank him when there is a  learning from a failure.

The idea behind this post was to thank Lord God for creating such a stage for us to act and making us a star every day and not to comment on any profession.   I respect every profession and I love movies and I’m a big movie buff and folks at home call me “ THE IMDB”.

Folks, who happen to bump on this post, please take a moment to thank God  – the director, the producer, the script writer, the music director, the cameraman, and the innovator immediately , kyon ki kya patha Kal ho Naa Ho...

Just imagine for a second, what would you do if you were asked to write a script involving trillion characters and it is all for a live show. And… there should be no goof ups.

Let me explain. Say for example, you have to create that scene where a guy is waiting at a signal. He should turn right. When he turns right, he should be in the path of a car that has been waiting at the signal. Like Sun Tv serials you cannot simply have a car waiting there. Remember? It’s a live show. So the car should have come there precisely at that time to be ready to hit the guy when he turns right. So there should be a separate story for the guy in the car and the story should so require that the car is at that signal at that point of time. Let us assume that this car guy had to cut across another guy in cycle and now because of one minute spent in slowing the car to get back on track, he is stuck.  He keeps cursing the cycle guy because if he had not cut across him, he would not have been caught in the signal now. Remember, you are the director. You should have a story ready for the cycle guy with a good enough reason for cutting across the car guy.

'Whew' -if this is the word in your mind right now, read on.

God is busy creating these scenes. Every day he has to manipulate, screenplay, direct and orchestrate the Trillion characters he has created in over enthusiasm when Eve bit Adam, er sorry, when Eve bit the forbidden apple. So yeah! People, Grow up!! God has enough on his plate without you yelling at him for a range of things from ‘Oh-God-he stamped my foot’ to ‘Oh-God-let-my-boss-forget-to-ask- me-about-that-project-I-didn’t-do-yet’ stuff. (Of course: God does take these into consideration and honors these requests if it is from his favorite characters. Like ME of course!) Keep in mind, God has Trillion characters to direct and more importantly, he has to fathom the mysterious girls’ and of course, the guys mind and create scenes so atleast a majority of the characters can be happy.

Trust me and God, making you sad is not his objective. Okay. Imagine having to watch a Sun-Tv soap which only makes you sob, how long will you watch it? Yeah. God is into this show for centuries so surely he will not be able to stand the show he is creating, if it is always sad. Its just that it might take him sometime to create a scene of happiness to a particular character.  Sometimes even a lifetime.

Just imagine yourself writing this thousand page novel and nobody seem to recognize it or even tell that you have done a nice job. What would you feel like doing? Killing every character left right and center?

That’s how God must be feeling when none of us thank him for his awesome creation, thats us. The simple fact that you (we) are still walking, talking and laughing or even crying for that matter, is a proof that God has different plans for you. Its not yet your turn to turn right at the signal. Not yet! So you have to keep going. And oh yeah, God will work out your part better than you. Not just because he is God, but because he is the director and ONLY the director knows what happens to other characters.

Haso, Jiyo, Muskurao, who knows, Kal Ho Na Ho!

PS: I wanted to write about this particular Kal Ho Na Ho line. Hence the entire post! Phuuleeese bear with me!!

Another 55F post!

Hope

She was sitting in the canteen scanning the crowd mindlessly. Her mind was racing ahead, imagining her reaction when he proposes. She should feel relieved of all the tension that has been plaguing her for the past 6 months. She saw him coming and her mind went blank. He looked so serious and stunningly handsome.

Love

No matter how many ever times he practiced, he was unable to work up his courage to propose her. He finally went to her, looked her in the eye and said “I promise to love you even when you have wrinkles, will you be mine?” He stood there waiting for her to respond, silently praying.

Life

She watched as he proposed in his croaky voice. She saw him silently praying and closed her eyes. She heard the girl in front of him look up and smile. She saw him take her hand and she turned away to go home to get married to the guy her parents had found for her.
