যখন 'সুখ' শব্দের অর্থ এক থালা চকচকে সাদা ভাত...! 💔

01/09/2023

Never think that any request you have is too much for ALLAH.
"His command is, only when He intends a thing that He says to it, 'Be'. And it is."
- Surah Yasin (36:82). Al Quran.

If you tell me to describe 'Rockstar', I don't need to write down a whole essay. The movie can be described by just one track 'Kun faya Kun'. This track gets inside your soul, it connects you to the Almighty himself. It takes you to a holy world in your imagination for 8 minutes.

"Jab Kahin Pe Kuch Nahi Bhi Nahi Tha,
Wahi Tha, Wahi Tha...
Woh Joh Mujh Mein Saamaya,
Woh Joh Tujh Mein Samaya...
Maula Wahi Wahi Mayaa...
Kun Faya Kun faya Kun
Sadq Allahu Ali Ul Azeem..."

Words work like magic. Give you goosebumps right away. 'Rockstar' was a musical 'Milestone'. Bollywood had never seen anything more touchy like this album.

May be it's true that you need to get your heart broken to become creative. May be it helps you to find out how vast your boundaries really are. May be it helps you to know your inner self. May be not. May be it's true what Joker said, "As you know, madness, is like gravity. All it takes is a little push." May be that little push turned Jonardhan into Jordan.
May be it's not true at all...!

First they break you into pieces every day. They hurt you, break you, kill you every moment. When you stand up, collect all your broken pieces and make yourself unbreakable, they call you 'crazy', 'monster', 'unfit' for the society. They never confess that, they are the ones who created the monster in the first place!

When Mohit Chauhan starts singing, 'O Nadaan Parindey...!' it inserts like a sharp knife through the hearts of the people who live in countries far away from their homes, families. It makes them cry, makes them want to leave everything behind and go back to their loved ones at once.

"Kaaga Re Kaaga Re Mori Itni Araj Tose
Chun Chun Khaaiyo Maans,
Arajiya Re Rakhiyo Na Tu Naina More,
Khaaiyon Na Tu Naina Mohe-
Piya Ki Milaan Ki Aas..!"

It made me cry during my abroad days every time I listened to it. Every single time!

'Jordan' is basically 'You'. The 'You' who discovered how to deal with struggles and sadness. The one who knows how to raise above hell. Jordan sang for you, for your soul. He represented you.

'Tum Ho', 'Jo Bhi Main', 'Sadda Haq', 'Phir Se Udd Chaala' - these are some golds which will remain the same after 100 years with their depth and meanings.

Stand up, know how to survive, show the middle finger to this fake world. Be yourself, be true.
You're unstoppable.

I don't know what I am doing right now. I am supposed to write about 'Titanic'. I mean really!? How could you describe such a big thing in words? The movie itself is an epic. And I am literally nobody to judge or write about it. I just have to give it a try.

We, The Bangladeshi kids didn't know the real names of Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet for a long time. We knew them as Jack and Rose. We certainly believed that Jack and Rose were their real names. The chemistry between these two were so real, we wished so much that they were married in real life as well.

You know there are some movies you watch again and again and you lose track how many time you've watched them. 'Titanic' is the king of those movies. Doesn't matter how many times you watch it, whenever you listen to that flute of 'My Heart Will Go On', you forget everything and sit down in front of the television.

If you ask a 'normal person' to name a hollywood movie, it's quite sure that he/she will say 'Titanic'. I believe it's the most watched movie all around the world. There are thousands of reasons why I say so.

Is there any lover in this world who never imagined themselves in the front corner of titanic in that "I'm flying" scene with their loved one?? I believe not. The scenes of this movie are so powerful that you can start writing an essay about every single of them. How can you ever forget the- "You jump, I jump... right??" scene!? Jack tells Rose to leave, to save her life. Rose starts screaming in the life boat while it was going down to sail with all those people. She jumps into the ship again and comes back to Jack and kisses him. We all cried watching that moment. Not because of sadness. May be we cried because of happiness. We cried thinking that how mysteriously beautiful love could be!

This movie taught us everything happens for a reason. Jack winning that bet and getting the chance to be on that cruise was his destiny. Meeting Rose was written in his fate. Nothing could stop that. When Jack first saw Rose on the deck, the Irish guy named Tom sitting next to him forbade Jack even to think about her. She was way out his league. But it was destiny that brought them together. Every time you watch that dancing scene, you watch Rose throwing her shoes away to dance along with jack, you watch Rose going crazy; you want to forget everything, who you're, where you belong... You just want to be in the arms of the person you love so bad. The right person can take you to the stars from anywhere, any moment...!

"Promise me you'll survive, that you won't give up. No matter what happens. No matter how hopeless." It was like an epic described in numbered words. Makes you feel so lost somewhere!

Tell me, don't your eyes get wet, don't your hearts get heavy when Rose revisits the 'Titanic' and she imagines everyone is welcoming her with smiling faces and Jack standing there waiting for her? Jack walks forward, gives his hand towards Rose and pulls her close to him and kisses her. Man, what a scene it was!

I don't know how many people in the world bought that 'Heart of The Ocean' stone for their loved one. People went crazy about it. One more thing, if you ever wonder which is the best romantic song that is ever created?
Go around the world and ask people. They'll answer, "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion.

Trust me, that song doesn't even require words. That tune of the flute is enough to make you fall in love instantly!

Hey 90's kids! I know the song started playing inside your brain already as soon as you saw the picture.
Yes, I'm talking about Falguni Pathak. The legendary Falguni pathak. The singer who made our childhood beautiful single handedly.

All the 90's girls grew up listening to her songs. There was no home without a music disc of Falguni Pathak. We all had that album with video. And we memorized the songs and the videos from the beginning to the end!

All of us were confused whether she was a lady or a guy, and why she used to dress like a man!?
Falguni's voice was so sweet and heart touching. All her songs had marvelous lyrics and touchy tunes. Specially the music videos were superb. All the videos had cute stories in them. They were like fairy tales for us. Watching those videos seemed like reading some story books.

Is there any song of Falguni which wasn't a hit?? I don't think so. Each and every one of them were solid hits. 'Main Ne Payal Hai Chankai', 'Meri Chunad Udd Udd Jaye', "Saawan Mein', 'Yaad PiyaKi Aane Lagi', 'O Piya', 'Pal Pal Teri Yaad', 'Yeh Kisne Jadu Kiya', 'Ayo Rama', 'Indhana Winva'.... You name them...!
I bet most of you also remember the stories of the videos as well!

I have a story with the song 'Main ne Payal Hai Chankai'. I spent my childhood in village. It was hard to get those albums in the village back then. There was this store which used to sell music albums on the way to my school. One morning they were playing this song while I was going to school. I don't know why I liked this song so much, I stood there to listen to the whole song. Then I stood right there for hours hoping that after finishing the whole album they'll play the song back. yes, they did. I missed school that day just to listen to this song once again. Damn my beautiful childhood!

There is no 90's kid who didn't listen to Falguni Pathak's songs in their childhood. 90's was about to come to an end, a new millennium was waiting for us. Falguni was our favorite jam back then as kids.

Sweet childhood days of us are long gone. As well as Falguni and her songs. Life became complicated in every possible ways. Sometimes I wish if life were simple like the songs of Falguni!

This is a tribute to the Artist who made our childhood surprisingly memorable with her songs. Thank you Falguni Pathak. Your songs will remain with us forever. We'll search them on Youtube whenever we feel down. They'll keep making us happy, they'll keep reminding us of our childhood days. We're grateful

Imagine the time of our teenage. We were in the middle of the high school. There was this magician called Emraan Hashmi. He was coming up with one after another classic songs from his movies. We used to listen to those songs on our elder brother or sisters Nokia or Sony Ericson java phones. Each and every single movie of his had a super hit song that we still remember today. But there was something missing. None trusted him as an artist, as an actor. None believed in his skills.

Then he delivered 'Awarapan'. Which crushed all of our hearts, emotions. We were naive high school kids. Some of us found our first love, some got a crush on someone's smile. Some fell in love with a person from different religion. There were thousands of different stories. Shivam of 'Awarapan' taught us loving unconditionally whatever the outcome was. he made us keep loving the person with all our heart even the person is not there anymore. He is the one who taught, "Those who can't fulfill their own dreams, they fulfill others' dreams."

We can't forget the scene of Shivam trying to dig Aaliyah's grave just to see her face one more time. The words he said about her, "Ek awaaz hai joh mere kaano mein goonjti hai... Ek chehra hai joh meri aankhon ke samne baar baar aa jaati hai... Mere dil ka sukoon thi woh!"

Shivam lost Aaliyah, the love of his life. But he gave his life away to free someone else's. Doesn't matter how many IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes highly rated movies we watched, how good of a movie critic we became later, we all cried watching Shivam die. We all felt that pain inside us where he prayed to God even being an atheist just to keep him alive for a few more moments so that he could free Reema.

12 years have been passed. Hearts been broken, sadness was there all along the journey. But 'To Phir Aao' served us in our dark times. Voice of Mustafa Zahid has a magical cure for sadness. It knows how to fill your soul somehow!

Admit, if you have to make a playlist of your lifetime, will you ever be able to miss 'To Phir Aao' from that list??
No, you can't.
The movie 'Awarapan', its music will always give us goosebumps.They will always be close to our hearts and souls.

They're so 'Pawfect'.
Let's support the cause. Let's save innocent lives ❤️

Pawfect সৃষ্টির উদ্দেশ্য কি?

এই প্রশ্নটা সবার মনে আসার কথা।

আমরা কিছু স্বল্প কথায় এই প্রশ্নের উত্তর দেয়ার চেষ্টা করবো। দেশের আনাচে-কানাচে অনেকেই Stray Dog-Cat দের খাওয়ান, চিকিৎসা করেন, ভ্যাকসিন দেন এবং রেসকিউ করেন।
কিন্তু পুরো ব্যাপারটা একেবারেই ছড়ানো ছিটানো... আমরা যখনই আমাদের আশেপাশে কোন কুকুর বা বিড়ালকে চিকিৎসা বা রেসকিউ করতে চাই, তখন আমাদের নানান জায়গায় পোস্ট করে খোঁজ লাগাতে হয়... আশেপাশে এমন কে আছে, যে দ্রুত এসে হেল্প করতে পারে।

আমরা এই ব্যাপারটাকে অর্গানাইজ করতে চাই।

জেলা বা ওয়ার্ড পর্যায়ে আপনার পরিচিতদের নিয়ে আপনি একটা টিম বানান... সেই টিমের তথ্য এবং যোগাযোগ এর ডিটেইল আমাদের দিয়ে রাখুন। আমরা যেকোন প্রয়োজন এলে আপনাদের সাথে সাহায্যপ্রার্থীর যোগাযোগ করিয়ে দিবো দ্রুততম সময়ের মধ্যে।

নিজ নিজ এলাকায় নিজের টিমকে নিয়ে বেল্ট পরানো, ভ্যাকসিনেশান বা ফিডিং এর কাজ করুন... এওয়ার্নেস তৈরি করুন। ব্যাপারটা খুব জরুরি। বাংলাদেশের মানুষ কুকুর-বিড়ালকে পিটিয়ে এক ধরণের বিকৃত মজা পায়, এটা বন্ধ হওয়া দরকার।

ভ্যাক্সিনেশন হলে কলার পরিয়ে দিন... যেন তারা সেইফ মার্কড থাকে। আপনার প্রিয় বন্ধুটাকে যেন মিউনিসিপ্যাল কর্পোরেশন রাতের আঁধারে তুলে নিয়ে না যায়। পরদিন দেখা করতে এসে যেন খালি রাস্তা দেখে আপনার মন না ভেঙ্গে যায়!

একটা রিসেন্ট এক্সপেরিয়েন্স শেয়ার করি।
আমি এবং আমার স্ত্রী চট্টগ্রামের কাতালগঞ্জে একটা কুকুরের ট্রিটমেন্ট করছিলাম... কেউ একজন ধারালো কিছু দিয়ে ওকে আঘাত করেছিলো। ওর একটা কান মাথা থেকে প্রায় আলাদা হয়ে গিয়েছিলো। নিরীহ গোবেচারা টাইপ কুকুর। হয়তো কোন দোকানের সামনে খাবারের জন্য ঘুরঘুর করছিলো৷ এই অপরাধে তাকে মারা হয়েছে।

আমরা এক সপ্তাহ ধরে ওর এন্টবায়োটিক কোর্স চালালাম। সে প্রায় সুস্থ হয়ে উঠছিলো.... এমন সময় সোসাইটির হোমড়াচোমরা কারো নির্দেশে তাকে মেরে ফেলা হয়।

এই শকটা আমার কোনদিন যাবে না। This incident made me create this. And I'll fight this battle until each and every single of then are safe on the streets.

মানুষ যখন কোন খাবার ফেলে দেয়, তার খাবারের উচ্ছিষ্টাংশ কোন প্রাণী খেলে, সেটা মানুষটার জন্য সাদকায়ে জারিয়া হিসেবে সওয়াব লেখা হয়... মানুষ না জেনে ওদের মাধ্যমে সওয়াব পেতে থাকে।
আর সেই মানুষ'ই ওদেরকে পিটিয়ে মারে।

ওরা তো কারো খাবার কেড়ে নেয় না... প্রচন্ড খিদায় আপনার দিকে মায়া মায়া চোখে তাকিয়ে থাকে। যদি দয়া করে একটা টুকরো ছুড়ে দেন!

এই সামান্য দয়া কি মানুষ দেখাতে পারে না??

মানুষ মানুষকে সারাজীবন 'পশু' বলে গালি দিয়ে এসেছে।
আসলে পশু কারা??

Looking at the image, you can already tell the name of the movie. This scene is so iconic, so much heart breaking that it doesn't need any introduction or any description.

Movies make you laugh, they make you cry. But very few movies are influential. 'Tere Naam' is one of them. The character 'Radhe' became so famous that people took it as a mission or goal to become like Radhe.

Thing you call 'Cosplay' nowadays, people tried it back in 2003. Looking like Radhe, walking Radhe, talking like radhe, smoking like Radhe, riding bike like Radhe became the fashion overnight. People started wearing short leather jackets with ripped jeans watching Salman on screen.

The barbers became busy like never before. People waited hours after hours to get serial at barber shops to get a haircut like 'Radhe Bhaia'. Every single one can relate this thing. You must've seen someone close to you getting this haircut back then.

You guys are talking about 'Kabir Singh' today. Remember, Kabir Singh is temporary, Radhe Bhaaia is permanent. Radhe was a angry young man, but had an open heart. 'Tere Naam' showed us what love can transform a person into. Radhe loved Nirjaara too much that he didn't care about anything else in this world.

The last 20 minutes of 'Tere Naam' is unbearably tragic. It's so well directed and acted that you keep watching like you're hypnotized. Tear drops fall down continuously, and you still keep watching it. To tolerate this kind of tragedy, you need to have a heart made of steel.

The guy who ran away from the mental asylum after all the struggles finds Nirjaara; the love of his life is dead. Radhe sitting and crying next to Nirjaara's body.. Tell me, could you stop yourself from crying along with Radhe? Could you ever stop yourself??

The other scene where Nirjaara was reciting a poem she wrote on the college function. Everyone left out of boredom. Radhe sat still. Him clapping after the poem was finished with his eyes full of tears. Man, what was that!

One thing I have to talk about separately. The music album of the movie. It's just gold. This kind of album comes once in a decade. Can you believe Himesh Reshamiya was one of the music directors of 'Tere Naam'!? Before he became a singer himself he used to produce these kind of gold. The title track, 'Odni', 'Tumse Milna', 'Kyun Kissi Ko'... you name it! Each and every song was a hit. Udit Narayan made everyone cry with 'Kyun Kissi Ko'. And he still does. I don't know why, even when I listen to 'Tum Se Milna' I feel something sad is inside that song as well.

Salman had to show the world what he was capable of. People who used to say Salman can't act, 'Tere Naam' was the answer to them. Even the people who hate Salman, 'Tere Naam' is in their favorite list as well. The scene where he was lying down on the floor of the temple spreading his hand and saying, "Bahut dard ho raha hai Bhagban!" What can beat that kind of acting!?

The guy who did everything for his love, couldn't have his loved one by his side just for a day. How do you bear such thing!? "Tere ishq ne saathiya.. Tera haal kya kaar diya" the words came true. 'Radhe' is not just a name or a character. It's an emotion attached to millions of hearts.

'Tere Naam' was released 16 years ago. 16 years is a long time. A lot can happen in 16 years. Memories fade, things change every other day. But Radhe walking back towards to prison van of the mental asylum while Aslam trying to stop him, the crazy woman pulling his dress and begging him not to go didn't change a bit. That scene still kills me inside.

Bollywood changed. In a wrong way I'd say. People only talk about the earning of the movies of the superstars, no one cares about the content inside. People who watched 'Tere Naam' once, didn't go back to the theatre again cause they couldn't bear the shock. Even many die hard Salman fans didn't watch it twice. 'Tere Naam' became a semi hit then. Not even a 'Hit'.

Does it matter?? No it doesn't. 'Tere Naam' is an all time blockbuster inside our hearts.

“Ek Ladki thi deewani si Ek ladke pe woh maarti thi... Chori chori chupke chupke chiththiya likha karti thi... Kuch kehna tha saayad usko, jaane kisse se darti thi...!
Jab bhi milti thi mujhse yeh hi pucha kaarti thi-
Yeh pyaar kaise hota hai...??
Yeh pyaar kaise hota hai...??

Aur mai sirf yehi kahe pata tha-"

Then the tune starts itself in your mind.

For some people those are just few words, for some those are just a dialogue from another movie but for some people those words are 'Mohabbatein'.
It won’t be hard at all to find a good number of people whose first love letter was written with these lines.
This October 'Mohobbatein' will complete it's 23 years anniversary. But it seems like it's been few years only. Can you imagine the young boy who was memorizing dialogues from 'Mohabatein' to impress his soul mate is in his late 30s?

Shah Rukh with the pink cardigan around his shoulder and Aishwarya in pink chiffon saree with Lata Mangeshkar singing-
"Hum aakele kho na jaaye,
Dur tum se ho na jaaye,
Paas aao gaalein se laga lo...!"

For most of us kids and teenagers, love was simply ''Mohabbatein' and it's songs back then.

'Mohabbatein' was the first movie to bring Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan together. The strong personality of Amitabh Bachchan and on the other side Shah Rukh Khan's emotions took this movie in to another level. The music from Jatin-Lalit pandits was heavenly and this heavenly music became tears on millions eyes with Lata Ji and Udit Narayan's magical voices.

Aditya Chopra wrote the script as a complete handbook for lovers. Each and every dialogues left you speechless and made echos inside your heart.

"Duniya mein kitni hai nafratein ... phir bhi dilon mein hai chahatein ... mar bhi jaaye pyar waale ... mitt bhi jaaye yaar waale ... zinda rehti unki mohabbatein".

You may have changed a lot; you might lost her before you even realized or you both have tried hard but life didn’t give you any chances, remember the love you felt at the very first moment will stay alive forever. People get old, people die, change, even forget but love never gets old, dies or changes it colors.

Love and relationship are two different sides of a coin. To be in a relationship both persons need to love each other, however in love you don’t wait to get back love in return. You just love to give her everything you have and when you can do it, love wins. Remember -
"Mohabbat mein shartein nahi hoti ... toh afsoos bhi nahi hona chahiye".

Gurukul was just a hypothetical scenario, in real life there are so many problems which will force you to leave your love aside but as Shahrukh Khan said-
"Mohabbat bhi zindagi ki tarah hoti hai ... har mod aasaan nahi hota, har mod par khushi nahi hoti ... par jab hum zindagi ka saath nahi chhodte ... phir mohabbat ka saath kyun chhodein".
Stay with your love, listen to your heart. People lie but heart never lies.

We have the power to accept or reject someone's love but we don’t have power to hold ourselves to whom we will fall in love with. So old souls, don’t get upset if you didn’t get her in your life, don’t feel down if you still miss her, don’t feel weak if you’ve tears in your eyes.
Just remember this-

"Mohabbat baahot khoobsurat hoti hai ... toh kya hua agar woh apne saath thoda sa dard laati hai..!?"

2001, seems like yesterday to many of us. The girls who used to listen to 'Zara Zara Behekta Hai' in the cassette/CD player of their bedroom thinking of someone all night long 18 years ago, got married long time ago. May be right now they are busy preparing the lessons and tiffin for their kids for school tomorrow. May be they got the love of their life as their life partner, may be they didn't. They walked through a hard path of hurdles during this long span of time. May be the love is fading away from life day by day. But I bet, the moment they listen to that magical track, they instantly go back to their golden days. If RHTDM is on the tv even today, they'll sit in front of the tv set for sure forgetting everything. No exception, mark my word.

RHTDM was a classic, is a classic even today. It's like a romantic melody you can't let go of your lips. As they say, love happens when you least expect it to. When we're young, it's pretty easy to fall in love, right? Just the sight of someone can sometimes warm the cockles of our heart. But as we grow older, we realize that there's a difference between loving someone and actually being in love.
We understood that when we first watched 'Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein'. We weren't just infatuated, we were in love. Or rather, we wanted to be in love with someone so badly.

Maddy wasn't the most honest person. Faked his identity to Reena. He knew she was going to get engaged but he couldn't have just given up without as much as trying to impress her. Everything he did, he did for his love. Maddy fell in love with Reena at the very first sight. So did we. Oh! that pretty, innocent face of Diya Mirza took all our breathe away. What an absolute beauty she was!

We watched Maddy go from an arrogant, ignorant brat to someone would go to any lengths to win the love of his life, it made us believe that there has to be someone who's worth it. Worthy for all kinds of craziness!

Sam, sacrificed the most precious thing of his life for the guy whom he hated most. Sam's love for Reena was true. But he still gave Reena's hand to Maddy cause when he looked into the eyes of Reena, he found the eternal love for maddy which had no bound. The kinda love he had for Reena. Sam was a gentleman from his heart.

22 years have been passed. Is there any one who never sent 'Zara Zara Behekta Hai' to his/her lover? Is there anyone who never listened to 'Sach Keh Raha Hai Dewaana' after a heart break?? Is there anyone who plays guitar but never played the chords of 'Dil Ko Tumse Pyar Hua' for their loved one??

Is there anyone who never dreamt of a romantic encounter with their lover on a cold night listening to the words, "Saardi ki Raaton Mein, Hum Soye Rahe Ek Chadaar Mein, Hum Dono Tanha Ho, Na Koi Bhi Raahe Iss Ghar Mein...!"

RHTDM just can't grow old, the rain theme can't grow old. As long as the word 'Love' exists, whenever a boy will fall in love, he will be humming 'Dil Ko Tum Se Pyar Hua, Pehli Baar Hua, Tum Se Pyar Hua!"
You can't change that at all.

"Real love doesn't meet you at your best, it meets you at your mess." I read that quote somewhere. I don't know who wrote it, but the words were so powerful that I had to remember them.

'Jab We Met' is like that one book that you had around you for quite a long time. The cover never amazed you, that's why you didn't care to open and read it. But one day you start reading it and realize how wrong you were about it! From that day on, it becomes one of your favorites!

It's a movie that makes you feel good, even you don't know how. The interesting fact about this movie is that nobody expected anything from this movie. Imtiaz Ali was a flop director, Shahid and Kareena were 'Flop King & Flop Queen' who gave many disastrous flops together. But this movie made them emerge from the ashes. Till today, the fashion and dialogues of this movie are followed with pride.

Geet! yes, Geet. That annoying girl, who made you fall for her childishness. None can fall in love with you if you don't love yourself. Girls out there, is there anyone of you who didn't use these words, "Main apni favorite hoon!" ever in your life? Don't lie. Geet was the very first girl who said it without any inhibition. Half of the problems of life would change if you start loving yourself the way Geet loves herself. Don't you think?

Many will argue, The movie is not a classic. It's okay. This is kinda movie that doesn't have to be a classic to be remembered. It has so many treats inside it for one to relate to his/real life. It might not be classic, but it's a special movie. This movie said some powerful things with such ease that none could ever thought. "Jab koi pyar mein hota hai... Toh koi sahi galat nehi hota!" Who expected that from Geet!?

The music was so fresh for that time, that we reserved them forever inside our heart. When you read the words, "Na hai yeh paana, Na khona hi hai" tell me, isn't Mohit Chauhan singing inside your head with his soulful voice? Another track, 'Aaoge Jab Tum' sang by Rashid Khan, is a masterpiece of it's own kind. All of us searched that song and listened to from Youtube at some point of our lives.

"What happens in the future is something that we don't have control over. So, i just do what my heart tells me. In the future, I don't want to blame anybody and say that my life got ruined because of you. No matter what my life becomes, I will know that it's because of me, and I'll be happy." Dialogues like these make you feel better about the choices you made in life. Gives you strength when you're broken inside. Doesn't matter if someone comes to your life makes you smile every moment and suddenly leaves you with nothing. Don't worry, it's not the end of the world, Stand up, follow your heart. It will always lead you to the happiness you deserve.

It's been 16 years, Aditya and Geet were dancing in the rain. Feeling old already?
With that magical flute tune in the background of 'Tum Se Hi' doesn't matter how many time we watch it, the scene makes us wish to fell in love with someone or to love more, whom we already have in your lives.

Hi Old Souls Inc. Fam!

You must have noticed, this picture is a different version of the actual scene from the movie.
While creating this art piece, our designer asked me a question. He asked, do you know why Katrina is not in this picture?

I couldn’t figure out. He said, "Only her character Laila had a clear vision about her life. She knew what she was going to do about her life all along. This picture is about the people who were wandering in the air like a kite. Looking for their purposes, looking for their happinesses."

That's actually sums up the whole thing.

There are some films, after you finish watching them... They leave a deep feeling inside you. They make you think about your life and about your surroundings.

Some films make feel so good that you tell yourself, "Damn it's good to be alive in this beautiful world...!"

If you're alive today, appreciate every little things. Appreciate every smile, appreciate every moment of happiness, every line of poetry, every single rain drop, every sunrise and every sunset you get to see!

Say hello to life, celebrate it, embrace it with a happy face. Don't leave anything for tomorrow. It's now, this very moment. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Never get detached from your friends. They are the people you have to make you smile when you're sad, make you even happier when you're happy.

Cause you know-

"Yaroon, dosti... Badi hi haseen hai,
Yeh na ho to kay phir-
Bolo yeh zindegi hai...!?"

'Zindegi Na Milegi Dobara' is all about those little details of your life you've been missing for a long time without even noticing them.
Tomorrow is a mystery. We don't know what tomorrow holds for us. But if we don't celebrate today, we'll miss a gift. A true gift that will never comeback again...!

Don't regret, don't hesitate. Let it be. Let the wind blow. Take a deep breathe and follow your dreams... You'll be happy. Even on your deathbed, you'll be able to tell yourself, "I tried, I lived... I was a happy soul...!"

Always follow what Imran wrote-

"Jab jab dard ka baadal chaya,
Jab gham ka saaya lehraya,
Jab aasoon palkon tak aya,
Jab yeh tanha dil ghabraya...
Humne dil ko yeh samjhaya-
Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai...!?

Duniya mein yunhi hota hai.
Yeh joh gehre sannate hai,
Waqt ne sabko hi baante hai...
Thoda gham hai sabka qissa,
Thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa...
Aankh teri bekaar hi namm hai,
Har pal ek naya mausam hai...
Kyun tu aise pal khota hai,
Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai."

So, tell your heart to stop being sad. Tell it to cheer up. Make it understand- "Haanso, Jiyo, Muskuraao... Kya paata, Kal Ho Na Ho...!"

Yes.. It's 'Zindegi Na Milegi Dobara'... You won't get this gift called life once again. As I told you before, there are some movie. You don't need to describe them in words. Just remember the feeling it left with you.
The feeling is priceless! ❤
