what does it take?

thanks to rajesh..finally i saw the movie chakde..the movie did live up to the hype, very well made and i could connect to it emotionally..what got me thinking is how many of us have got what it takes to survive the time kabhir khan spent on his own and the courage to come back..

we ( all "we" to be replaced with "I"..still not comfy using I!) crib on every possible opportunity about the poor state of affairs around us, we blame the government, the unruly public and even sometime the peaceful cow munching grass in the middle of the road!..how many of us have got it in us to stand up and fight against any of this..because we do realise that the comfort we enjoy today might all fly away when we take up a challenge of this sort...

we do confess at times, that our lives lacks purpose and meaning ( mostly over a drink or when you are sitting bored in a airport..)..and we promise ourselves that in the next few days to start something that is meaningful and purposeful...but that is were it ends most of the time, because once the hangover is through the realization of the difficulty pops in..and then who wants to put in all that effort.

the next time i even think of cribbing or complaining i need to first look at myself and question what have i done about it ...

it takes a lot of courage to put all the efforts behind a purpose..most of the times it looks very simple from outside and we have brilliant solutions, but to actually dirty the hands and take up a thankless job takes courage and character..i wish i could pen down something someday that i had done that made a difference...

how else can i end..chakde!
