Taare Zameen Par :-)

Jhum : You remember once I sent you a forward about stars

Vivek : You have sent me so many forwards, which one you talking about?

Jhum : I don't remember exactly but it was something like reaching for a star, u know u can't reach it but u keep trying coz.. may be 1 day that star just might fall for you...

Vivek : Ya I kind of remember...not exactly though..

Jhum : We had a long discussion on this topic.. how can u forget.. stupid!!!

Vivek : Oops!! I've become old u see ;-)

Jhum : You bet

Vivek : So what about that forward

Jhum : Nothing about it .. just that you were putting all that crap about getting stars or rather excuses for not getting the stars in your g-talk status msgs...

Vivek : Oh ok.. but they were just for timepass... Was listening to the respective songs, liked the lines and hence it was there..

Jhum : I know.. Actually you said one very interesting thing in that day's discussion when I sent you that forward

Vivek : I really don't remember.. I keep giving fundae and keep forgetting them :)

Jhum : Chaman ho tum!!

Vivek : Thanks for the compliment.. Anyways wat did I say that day...

Jhum: You said you will not wait for the star to fall for you, you'll rather make plans to reach for it and you were sure that you will each there

Vivek : Did I say that? :-)

Jhum : So.. that was all bull-shit is it?

Vivek : He He He... I dunno..

Jhum : Then

Vivek : Then wat??

Jhum : Did your plans succeed... did you reach your star?

Vivek : Scientifically speaking it is impossible to reach to a star J

Jhum : So that means you waiting for it to fall for you J

Vivek : Achanak se yeh sab questions kaha se aa gaye ???

Jhum : Batao Na!!!

Vivek : I don’t care for the stars anymore…!!!

Jhum : You don’t care ya you have given up on your dreams

Vivek : Let’s not talk about all that

Jhum : Why??

Vivek : Coz I don’t want to discuss about realizing dreams and all that bakwaas

Jhum : bakwaas!!! I think you were the one who at one time was so desperate about fulfilling all your dreams

Vivek : I don’t have any dream to be fulfilled now

Jhum : What!! Matlab tumhare zindagi mein koi lakshya nahi hai!!!

Vivek : Nahi… mere zindagi mein bus preity zinta hai … J Stop being filmy… that’s completely my territory J

Jhum : Bina lakshya ke zindagi bekaar hai Vivek

Vivek : Lakshya ke saath bhi zindagi bekaar hai.. When something you really want to achieve and for some reason you were not able to achieve then it hurts a lot.

Jhum : So you don’t want to fight because you are scared of losing?

Vivek : I didn’t say that…

Jhum : But u meant that…

Vivek : Nopes.. Pata nahi yar… even I’m confused… But What I feel, it is the journey that matters and not the destination.. I enjoy the efforts I put in something to achieve it more than when I actually achieve that thing(though I rarerly achieve those things J ). When you achieve something it loses its value.. Gold is precious because its availability is less. The day it is as abundant as sand it will lose its value…

Jhum : Fir se funde chalu J So wat’s the funda for today

Vivek : He he he.. how can I miss that… Funda for today is simple and copied ;-)

KARMANYE WADHIKARASYE MA PHALESHU KADACHAN

Do things as you want to do it and do it with full passion. Result is immaterial if you are satisfied with your efforts. Its just that even if you fail at the end of the day you should not feel that you did not give your 100%...And if you have given your best then it doesn’t matter if you reach the stars or not… the thing that matters is that atleast you tried and not like people who just keep dreaming about reaching stars

Jhum : Bus bus.. bahut ho gaya.. bas ek chance milna chahiye aur funde chalu J

Vivek : Aur kya..

Jhum : So wat’s your star…

Vivek : You.. you’re my star!!! J

Jhum : Hum na sudhre the… hum na sudhrenge!!!!

Vivek : J Why do u ask such questions when you yourself know the answer

Jhum : I’m going to sleep now.. Goodnight!!

Vivek : Hum na sudhre the… hum na sudhrenge!!!!

Diffrentiating Life!!!

d/dx {LIFE}

When the derivative of a function at a point becomes zero, there exists a local maxima or a minima....We were taught this in higher secondary and the explaination given was that at every local maxima or minima the slope changes its sign, and that's why the slope becomes zero at that point and hence the derivative is zero।

I know it sounds stupid but in my school days I was really amazed by this maxima and minima funda। I used to think whoever has discovered this must be a genius. As I grew up, and become more mature (They say I still have a long way to go ;-)) I realised that there is nothing great about this discovery. We see this funda every day in our life. We have our highs and then thing start to fall apart. We have our lows and then things start to get better.Though not in a perfect sinusoidal way but life does go up and down every now and then.

Talking about sinusoidal stuff, I remember calculating Root Mean Square for different function to get some kind of average। We never used to deal with the peak value. It was always about averages, and mostly root mean square. Root mean square made sure that you get positive values at the end, because we always were concerned about the magnitude and never about the sign. So how is our life different from all those RMS calculations in current electricity. The problem with us is that we are always considered about the Peaks!!! We always talk about the happiest day and the saddest day of our lives.We take out only positives from the happiest day and only negatives from the saddest day. We don't realise that life is all about averages, it all evens out they say!!! .

We don't realise that the peaks are less, the most common is an ordinary day, when nothing great happens, when there is nothing special to talk about ( A friend of mine for last one year has always given one same answer to this question every single day॥ Wassup ? and the answer is nothing special) But we are always considered about the peak days when we were happiest and when we were really sad।

Just few examples। Few months back I had one hell of a day from morning to late night a thing that has to go wrong went wrong and things that I expected will never go wrong also went wrong. At the end of the day when I reached home I was in a terrible shape, it was so easy for me to cry that day (considering the fact that I'm very emotional॥ ;- ) ) but I did not. Infact i was smiling. I don't know why but I found the whole day very funny. It was like one nightmare where all dreams where shattered, all planning went for a toss, and things that you really valued for and loved were in a bad shape.

Similarly about an year back I had a happiest day of my life।Everything that has to go right was going right. It was like a beautiful dream painted with colours of reality. I think even if I had asked for a moon that day I would have got it. At the end of day I really felt like crying , to be frank it was tough to believe what had actually happened.

Taking the maxima minima part first, things did get better than what had happened on that nightmarish day। The next day everything started falling in place(well almost) and as the say life goes on, it went on...

And things did start to fall apart after that dream day, infact it fell apart so much that I for once thought that the happiest day shouldn't have come!!!


Now Root mean square teaches us about how life is not about only peaks। It is about average of what happens everyday। It is about the small happiness we get everyday and small teachings we learn everytime we fail। And no matter how deep ur trough is, or how high your crest is, what comes out after doing a root mean square is a postive value hence proving what SRK said...



Hamari filmo ki tarah, asal zindagi mein bhi anth mein sab thik thak ho hi jata hai aur agar nahi hua to Picture Abhi Baaki Hai Doston!!!

P.S. - May be I am not able to convey what I actually want to write, but whenever you are not feeling good and think that God has been unkind to you, just sit back and relax.. Try connecting the dots and believe me when you see the bigger picture, you'll realise its not that bad :-)
