Bridge Across Forever...

About Richard Bach's writing style:
His creations are philosophical and he relates his philosophy with his experiences. This very aspect gives a magical touch to his novels. Readers are transported to another world where they see their mirror images and thereby take stock of their own life.

"Bridge Across Forever - BAF" is one such novel. Although the details about the flying planes which signifies writer's passion for the same might sound boring, but the novel still manages to leave a lasting impression on the readers in the form of learnings which are not preachings in any way.

Here I am reproducing the quotes from the novel BAF, which are gonna live in my memory not as mere quotes but as experiences from life to look back to..

Without the power of Love, we are boats becalmed on the seas of boredom...

To bring anything into your life imagine that it's already there...

Love is an empty word left after meaning has been battered away...

There is no sensitive way to deal with insensitive people...

Wall don't protect, they isolate you...

A soulmate is someone who has locks thats fits our keys and keys to fit our locks...

That's what learning is, after all. Not whether we lose the game but how we lose and how we have changed because of it and what we take away from it, that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way, is winning...


- Thank You Richard Bach

Journey Like Never Before!

Neither in black,
Nor in white,
LIFE is, rather, in the grey areas..

Days never come with a guarantee. Each morning we wake up to face a brand new day, oblivious of what it has in store for us.

So don’t just live, but, make beautiful memories.

Live as if you are celebrating. Celebrate not only the occasions, but celebrate life, celebrate each and every day. That is how we can make beautiful memories and can boastfully recall our bygone days. Just the way we do recall our school days. Because those were the days when we were actually living.

But now, we are not living; We are busy in competing, hating, loving, complaining, cribbing, agreeing, disagreeing and what not. We do everything; But Live.

I exhort all my readers, to start living as if there is no tomorrow. I dedicate this review to the Spirit Of Living.

Why this discourse on Spirit of Living?

Because the character Geet(Kareena Kapoor) exhibits this and much more on the screen. And this movie is all about Geet. The above things are not my preachings but a perspective of life which Geet has in the first half of the movie but somehow loses it in the second half.

Her garrulity, her innocence, her crazyness, her boldness, her brashness is captivating. Geet will leave a deep impact on u. Geet will make you fall in love with life despite the adversaties. Geet’s memories will not leave you after leaving the theatres; it will linger on you.

Her outlandish ideas like:
- tumne bachpan try kiya hai na, maza aaya tha na, ab ye try karo
- bohot maza aa raha hai na… haan kyunki zindagi mera fav game hai.. tumhara kya hai.. let me guess racing..

Her crazy one-liners like:
- mujhe bachpan se hi shaadi karne ka bohot shauk hai, my god!!
- mein apni favorite hoon!!
- agar ek rupaya kuch nahi hota to chori kyu kar rahe ho!!
- Tenu ki pharak painda hai!!

Her quality of being a hopeless romantic:

“Mere jaise laakho mile honge tujhko piya
Mujhe to mila tuuuu hi
Tu hi mere hontho ki khilti hui si hansi
Gila bhi piya tuuuu hi
Dekho na dekho mujhe kya hua hai tujhe sapno mein laake
Pucho na pucho mujhe kya hua hai teri baaton mein aakar
Yes ishq hai baithe bithaye jannat dikhaye haan”
- “Sung by Shreya Ghoshal”

Geet expresses her feelings for Anshuman (Tarun Arora). Her happiness, her anticipation of meeting him. A fairy-tale kind of recitation, doll-like dancing with innocent-looks makes it an enticing number.

Her sadness:

“Sapno ka jahan
Hoga khila khila
Barsega saawan, barsega saawan
Jhoom jhoom ke
Do dil aise milenge
Aaoge Jab Tum Saajna
Angana phool khilege”
- “Sung by Ustad Rashid Khan”

Happy lyrics with sad music & in sad situation. Happiness is explaining the sad story of Geet. How her dreams shattered.

Why she becomes desolate? Watch the movie and find out.

JWM is also about loving someone but not wanting him

JWM is a beautiful love-story which gives us a completely new definition of LOVE.

"Loving Someone is a trip to Heaven..
Wanting Someone is a trip to Hell.. "

We have seen characters turning desolate after realizing they are not being loved by the person they love. But have you seen a character getting all the more successful in his career after saying goodbye to the person he actually loves?

Yes I am talking about none other than Aditya Kashyap (Shaahid Kapoor). Aditya falls in love with Geet and expresses it to her (not explicitly, but by his demeanour). Despite the fact that Geet loves Anshuman, Aditya never stop loving her.

“Baithe baithe aise kaise koi rasta naya sa mile
Tu bhi chale mein bhi chalu honge kam ye tabhi faasle
Aao tera mera na ho kisi se waasta
Aao mile chale jaana kahan na ho pata”
- “Sung by Shaan & Ustad Sultan Khan”

There could not have been a better song to describe feelings of Aditya. It beautifully expresses the feeling of falling in love and most importantly wanting to be in love forever and keep cherishing it, without bothering about the fact that the person whom you love can never be yours.

Its hard to live alone, its harder to choose someone to love but the hardest part of Love is to admit that you have fallen in love with someone who can never be yours!

Does Anshuman also loves Geet? Yes he does. They studied in same college and fell in L-O-V-E.

“Na hai yeh pana
Na Khona hi hai
Tera Na hona jane
Kyun hona hi hai

Mein kahin bhi jata hoon
Tumse hi mil jata hoon
Tumse hi tumse hi“
- “Sung by Mohit Chauhan”

Aditya misses Geet without getting upset about it. Infact, cherishing it. He didn’t miss her at all because he felt her presence everywhere. He was in love and was rejoicing in it. He was basking in the sunshine of love.
This song and Aditya’s love for Geet gave us a new definition of “missing someone” or “not-missing someone.”

What else?
What happens with Aditya, Geet and Anshuman’s life is for you to find out. But I can tell you what more can be expected out of this movie.

- Punjabi tadka
- Melodious songs
- Tactics to get over a heart-break
- Comedy like never before
- Situanal songs with lyrics so aptly written
- Each & every scene in the movie is enthralling.
- Every song is mesmerizing.

Two dance numbers from the movie:
- Nagada Nagada (Sonu Nigam, Javed Ali)
- Mauja hi Mauja (Mika Singh)

Conclusion:
This movie is for all those who have loved and lost. Also, for all those who have been cheated. For those who are in love; And for all the singles out there, this one is for you too. Infact, it is for those as well who does not believe in Love.

Geet says -
“Don’t let the bitterness of yesterday and the fear of tomorrow take away the sweetness of today”

Aditya says -
“Don’t fall in love, but rise in Love”

Nidhi says -
“Love is a funny feeling; never take it seriously”

Mera review complete ho gaya hai… abb to scroll karma chodd do… mein itna bhi achcha nahi likhti…

Filmography of SRK

He is cute,
He is sweet,
Without him,
Bollywood is incomplete!!

This is a story about a Delhi guy who started his ordeal as a FAUJI. As a fauji, he adored his ARMY very much & was very adroit in dealing with the KING UNCLE - the gangmaster of the TRIMURTI mafia.

Once he happened to meet the ENGLISH BABU DESI MEM couple & their beautiful daughter. He fell in love with her & went to PARDES to get the CHAAHAT of her life. From a BAAZIGAR, he became a DEEWANA. He was having this in his mind that his friend RAJU, BAN GAYA GENTLEMAN after he fell in love. He was expecting the same CHAMATKAR to happen with him. He knew that DIL AASHNA HAI & so tried to woo her in all possible ways. He told her once that,''Whenever I see u KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI''. At this, she got furious and slapped him. Then, she went off with her boyfriend GUDDU.

He got very depressed & went to a pub with three of his friends - KARAN ARJUN & ASHOKA. They tried to console him in all possible ways. They told him that,''Stop being a DEVDAS. Lets go back to India. In India, you'll find many such MOHOBATTEIN. You are full of JOSH & there is no dearth of girls in our India. Stop thinking DIL Se & use ur brains. CHALTE-CHALTE you'll find many.'' He was listening to all this but at the same time he was thinking too. After a pause, he replied,''Do u all think that I've DARR in my heart of not getting any girl in my life? Hey! Its not so. I know I'm the BADSHAH & can easily make any girl dance to my tune. But this girl - she is too sweet to forget. U know, DIL TO PAGAL HAI!! Moreover, KABHI HAAN KABHI NA happens in every love-story. RAMJAANE what my ANJAAM will be. But, I am declaring it tody - DILWAALE DULHANIYA LE JAAYENGE.''

Next morning, he went to the girl & told her,''This world is a KOYLA. In life, there is KABHI KHUSHI KABHI GHAM. I am the only one who can share all that with u forever. I can become DUSHMAN DUNIYA KA for u. ZAMANA DEEWANA cannot understand my love for u. PHIR BHI DIL HAI HINDUSTANI & an Indian heart falls in love only once. OH DARLING YE HAI INDIA ka munda & he is all urs. YES BOSS, I love u. Just be mine.''

The girl became very emotional on hearing these mushy dialogues. She hugged him & they lived happily everafter.
