What is your Bucket List?

I did not know what was kicking the bucket until i met some friends who often used this word. Well , it means leaving this world . And then i came across this term Bucket List in one of my official meeting where in my director was giving a brief to relate to what she exactly wants out of the creative we were doing etc .One fine day, i was browsing the channels and ended up watching some parts of this movie -Bucket List.Awesome thinking ..the guys in the movie knew they have only a few days to live but decides to do the wild and most desired things they have always wanted before they died .

How nice -is it nt ? I wonder how much more we can add to our very own bucket list when we are alive and kicking .

Actually, none of us know when we are gonna bid good bye to this wonderful world.Let's face it ..Death is a reality ..it is going to happen one day or the other .And for some , it comes so soon .Hence i am very sure that i will have my bucket list ready soon and i will make sure i cross out at least 50% of the things in my list. And some of the things that i really want to do before i die .

1. Tell Sujay " i love you" a 1000 times in one day
2. Make a trip to Disney Land with Vihaan and Sujay
3. See Ireland Shires
4. Watch all the original episodes of Friends
5. Take a flight with my mom
6. Go for a movie with appa ( Just me and him)
7. Try bungee jumping
8. Go on a catamaran ride with Keerthi
9. Watch a hatrick movie -3 in a row
10.Stand on top of the Eiffel Tower and tell sujay how much he means to me !!!

So , what is your bucket list buddy? Get one soon and enjoy life to the fullest!!

Behind Enemy Lines



I was catching up on "Behind enemy lines" movie two days back and regretted
for missing the first one hour. That movie was so good that it kept me glued to
the tv even though it was so late at night.Portrayal of a fighting spirit of a soldier and the captain's spirit on saving that one life left at the enemy's place was truly awesome. And top of it , some scenes were truly touchy and simple to relate with your heart. One among them was a scene where they show kids skipping the trap wires so carefully -which are planted bombs to kill anyone who would cross that .Imagine , if children are exposed to this way of life, what will they turn out to be when they are adults.No wonder terrorism is breeding in leaps and bounds in this world .

Another scene shows Owen Wilson taking a lift from a group of young guys and his interactions with them reveal they are so cool like any other young men wanting to listen to rap music and hip hop stuff. But the war zone makes them hang around with guns and run for their life every day.

The climax scene is too heroic and makes you want to clap actually - i was all smiles and looking at my husband proudly when watching the scene as if i were the one recovering the CD that had all the evidence of proving these guys guilty of the genocide . Fighting spirit is what you learn from movies like these .And in that note , i cannot forget the scene from Gladiator -i love that movie and fall in love with Russel crowe every time i see him as Maximus.One fight where he gets together all the salves on his side and fights against the tiger is truly a treat to the eye.

I start to think why we do have people fighting over states, places, rivers,religion and power .Really , life is so beautiful and it is worth living every moment of it smiling and being happy. How i wish i can change the world - rather heal the world and make it a better place for you and for me and for the future of our children !!!

May there be only peace in this world please !!!
