Recently I watched a Hindi movie "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara". It has come from the Akhtar clan, hence I had gone to the theater with a perspective of the movie being 'something different'. I would not go and write a review from critics point of view but I would surely like to make some comments and put my view about this whole 'larger than life, youthful' genre of movies.
While name of the movie itself suggested that it would be about life's precious moments to be cherished and not be a part of the rat race which doesn't leave a person to think about anything apart from money, job, tensions etc; we must not forget one thing that even after watching such movies that make you think about your own life full of struggle and stress, you wouldn't change it for nothing!
As the movie progressed it reminded me of 'Dil Chahta Hai'. The theme was quiet similar(I know people would like to beg to differ). Take three childhood/school/college buddies, create tension between two of them (which will be definitely sorted out at the end) and the third one will be mediator, love angle, exotic place, some adventures and TaDa!! movie ready!!
If someone had to ask me why I liked the movie, I would say 'Spain'. Its really beautiful. Most of the time I was just looking at the scenic views and not the actors!
Now talking about the movie theme and its practicality. They show in the movies that there are best buddies and they go places, have fun, enjoy the life to the fullest. After watching movie people regret not doing the stuff those actors did onscreen, how they wish their life was that simple and perfect, no worries, lot of money for vacation and perfect lover!! Whoaa....but dude lifes not all that perfect. Even if you have buddies who are best in the world, you cant get away from the rat race and the day to day tensions which you have to have in order to live. When in school tension about exams, then college admissions, job, marriage, kids....and its on going, so on and so forth!!
Yes but in between these tensions one can always take a small break and get rejuvenated. You ask me how? Okay so I have this list of course not tried and tested,but indeed quiet a practical one:

Yes but in between these tensions one can always take a small break and get rejuvenated. You ask me how? Okay so I have this list of course not tried and tested,but indeed quiet a practical one:
- Sleep to the fullest. One friend of mine once said 'Sleep is heaven'! and yeah go to sleep while listening to your favorite music so that your sleep is really blissful and sans any tension of tomorrow
- Talk to your best buddy for hours(on phone if meeting personally is not possible) updating about everything that has happened even trivial things and then talk about the funny moments you both shared
- Go for a walk alone or with your loved one, observe nature, listen to birds if they are chirping and follow some insect on sidewalk (not a dangerous one) and think if you crush it, its gone but then it doesn't have that tension else it wouldn't have been there right? ( Thankfully we don't have that kind of harm from any other specie but ours)
- If you have a pet play with it, probably its longing for your attention.
- Get spa treatment, get rejuvenated!
- Indulge in your favorite sweet dish or your favorite cuisine (Just forget about calories for a day)
- Watch your favorite movie again at home with popcorn, coke,pizza, along with your loved one(s)
- If possible spend a night under open sky (make sure there are no insects in the lawn) fall asleep watching stars and moon
- Learn to play an instrument and then play it for yourself make a video and upload :)
So people enjoy your life the way you can without going on expensive vacations or spending a fortune. Obviously if you have that much money then go ahead and do whatever.
My point is be happy with what you have, to enjoy the life and live each moment to the fullest you don't have to spend $$$$$.
Cheers!!!
