DJ da promise!

Watching "Rang De Basanti" again, what an amazing feeling, took me to a different world, far away from all this nonsense which is happening around me. For few minutes, i completely forgot that i am not one of them, that freedom, that humor, that innocence, that sincerity, that honesty, that Yaarana, who wouldn't die for these things, at least i would. One of the things got imprinted on my mind is when one of my friend asked me whether i will stand up for my friends even though i would have family behind me, i took few seconds to respond, not because i was confused, but because i was thinking am i supposed to think about it, is that a trick question? The answer was a bold "YES", of course i would i said with a surprise in my eyes realizing it was actually not a trick question and a scene from RDB flashed before my eyes when DJ stood up in front his group for Aslam being called a Pakistani, that flare in his eyes, that protective expression. I know life is not a movie, and i am not Aamir Khan for sure but what fun it is if we always look at life from a practical lens, it's short is what i know. It's short to enjoy, to love, to travel, and to laugh. Leaving Sci-fi apart, consider living in a matrix where everything happening around is a staged performance and when we need to look beyond it, the little things we are missing everyday, for me, smiling with my family and friends. Of course i can't do it either, i am a human, i also can't get things off my mind which i know might not matter in the longer span of time, but then looking that far off is practical again. So i am scared, concerned but try to smile just so that i don't miss out this day completely.

When i am off of these problems someday, i will still be the same friend. DJ da Promise!
