TA RA RUM PUM PUM

TA RA RUM PUM was just what I expected… a lesson in boredom… lousy music, bad screenplay and horrid styling…
However, it was heartening to see the couple stand by each other regardless of the bad times. For once, there were no dramatic outbursts and fights.

Also, what I want all you guys out there reading this to know is that the movie inspires us to fight for what we want in life. To take risks.

It tells a story about this racer who is a winner all the way and suddenly finds himself out of work thanks to a freak accident on the tracks. His fear of failing gets the better of him and he soon finds himself out of work and living in the dumps with his wife and two kids.
But what brings him back his lost glory is when he realizes he could lose his loved one and he decides to fight his fears and win because there is no other option left but to win.

That set me thinking. Life could be a winning game for us all if we gave ourselves no options.

Every person on earth has a gift, in some, the gift manifests itself spontaneously; others have to work to discover what it is.

There are moments when you have to take a risk, to do crazy things. Sure there are sufferings and defeats ..we cant avoid them. But its better to lose some of the battles in the struggle for your dreams than to be defeated without ever even knowing what you’re fighting for...

And the one thing that gives us the courage to fight for our dreams, take risks, is… love.

It makes us grow, slowly transforming us, helping us to have faith in god, in ourselves, in our dreams…
But we need to look for it courageously, and soon enough we begin to attract love of many kinds in ways unimaginable. Yes, love does conquer all but only when all oor inner battles have been fought and won.

To fear, is the easiest …but I have never believed or wanted the easy way out in life because ease brings with it a lack of hope, a dull acceptance and a laid back, selfish attitude that only teaches you to live for yourself, to love only yourself .

I’ve often wondered at the age of 17, where I had the energy and the drive to pursue so many things?
At a time when a financial crisis had hit the family, with ailing parents and a directionless life… what made me try harder… with each fall being harder, each attempt bringing with it more loss, rejection and humiliation?
All I had with me were my dreams, - a dream of making it big, a dream of giving my parents all that they deserved, a dream of having a loving home, of nurturing all the strays that my heart went out to…
Of being able to reach out to the millions who needed love…

Of making a difference…

… and all this when I had no idea where and how to begin… I had no guidance but just a strong desire ... to live life passionately and fully…
I recall, when it seemed that the darkness would never end, I only had to retreat into my land of dreams… of the life I so badly wanted for myself and my loved ones.. of never wanting to settle for anything but the best….

I wanted to be happy, curious, joyous, living every moment intensely, drinking the water of life thirstily.

‘Dreams mean work’ said a writer once.
Work at loving passionately, love yourself, love life, love your work, and allow it to give you the courage to work at your dreams!
