Different types of Friendship

Back after a holiday, it feels real good.

Here is something I found and I wanted to share it with you!

Are you a Reason, a season or a lifetime?

Pay attention to what you read.

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a life time.When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person.

When someone is in your life for a Reason. . .
It is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like godsend, and they are! They are there for the reason you need them to be.


Then, without any wrong doing on your part, or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end.
Some times they die,
Sometimes they walk away,
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.


What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. Then prayer you sent up has been answered. And now it is time to move on.

When people come into your life for a Season. . .
Because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace, or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it! It is real ! but, only for season.


Lifetime relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things must build upon order to have solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use on all other relationships and areas of your life.

Is this making your friendships easier to understand or making it more complicated? Do let me know!

Two great movies that made my weekend

Deewar

Saw Deewar after a long time. Along with the famous dialogues which have made it a classic, Amitabh is superb.Even when you know what dialogues are next, this is one movie which is not boring. Three decades from its release it is still an enjoyable film. What made Amitabh tick I felt was the look in his eyes! Sad ,Brooding & very rarely (in fact did he?) Smiling. He had an ability to cover his lack of conventional good looks by the expressions. God! what screen presence.
No Overacting he sure has a lot the current crop can pick up from.It is a movie relevant even today as the power of money finally is overshadowed by right values.
The classic " Mere paas maa hai!" is wonderfully picturised & the prelude to this dialogue is superb!

If you haven't watched this film, you have missed a classic. Watch it!

Kanda Naal mudal

A clean family entertainer which was beautifully shot. The story is not anything new but the treatment is what is worth appreciating.Prasanna is an actor with a long innings and is here to stay. What I liked about the film are:

The climax where Prasanna declares his love for Laila & the way the whole scene is conceived.

Laila's clothes which are so wearable & so everyday which give it a great appeal.

Karthik was good for his short role.

The acceptance of the mother that her daughter eloped and got married because she was pregnant.

The younger sister given a nice baby shower inspite of the elder one not married.

Normal everyday language.

Factors which are not normally shown in movies but were well brought out in this film.

Overall true to its tagline , it sure is like a good cup of coffee in the morning!
You can relish every frame!!!

Grooming problems!?

Life has always its measure of surprises. The 'grooming' in the title is about how we groom our kids.

An usual night to me means ,a story for my 6 & 9 year old sons & then with lights off we discuss what was interesting that day. These are moments I enjoy the most.Innocent questions & imaginative answers, it's the best part of a parent child relationship. But the other night, my 9 year old stumped me & made me think twice on how I'm grooming him!

As usual the conversation was about his school & suddenly he asked me, "Amma what if I become will you be proud of me?" Wanting to be an open minded parent I replied,"Anything that you want to do or like to do I would be happy!"
He insisted" No, tell me ,like what?"

A little thought & I said, "Maybe a newsreporter, a newsreader, a cameraman, a journalist, a photographer, an actor,a RJ,DJ,VJ etc..."I thought i had given him enough choices. But then he wanted more. I said ," Ok then a doctor, an engineer, a lawyer,a teacher, a banker & listed out the conventional professions.

At that point, he told me," No amma, I know what I want to become." "Ok what?" i asked. " My GK teacher told me today that our president Dr.A.P.J.Abdul Kalam was not a politician before he became the president of India, but a scientist. I want to be a scientist & become the President of India." His reply shocked me.

Not for anything else but then, as a parent I had not even given him politics as a career option.I do complain like the rest of us that our leaders are not good . But then how many of us actually groom our kids to be leaders of our country. We do not even consider politics as a serious career option.

Does the fault lay with us then?
