Udaan

It was a normal day at the office on Friday. I finished my work and came home. Got myself fresh and prepared a cup of tea and laid down on my bed watching TV. That day I got a movie from my friend and planned to watch at night. In 2010 there were very few movies in Hindi I personally watched some of them were horrible to bear while some were a good time pass. But the one movie that impressed me a lot which I was supposed to watch that night was “Udaan”. I didn’t heard of that movie or saw any promo Ads on TV or posters but came to know from word of mouth. I then checked its rating first on Rediff and I was surprised. Usually for such normal budget movie you won’t find good ratings, not sure if those get money to provide good reviews. I then checked IMDB (Internet Movie DataBase – www.imdb.com) and made myself sure that this movie has something to offer. I was prepared to saw that movie and it was pitch dark in my room and the only light I could see is of my laptop and the movie. I didn’t got up from my place or you say that the movie didn’t allow me to go anywhere and I was carefully watching the movie. For those who have seen the movie and are of the category like me will first of all appreciate the people and the way they have played their characters. The movie was not only about a relationship of a father son, or the emptiness in the life of people or following your dreams. It’s much more to understand that for each one it’s important to know what they are capable of and what they can do. I don’t say that in order to follow your dreams you always go beyond because in a country like India we as a kid always taught to become something in life. What I mean something is studying hard, become an Engineer or doctor and earn thousands of rupees/dollars and earn a comfy life. But there are hardly people who actually follow their dreams and in the movie its shown very beautifully. A kid who want to become a writer, want to learn literature was forced to join engineering college and the result as expected was a mess in his life. But he eventually learn that what he was doing is right and went on against his father to pursue his dreams. Also in bits it was shown that doing that its also important to enjoy life in bits and pieces and never just indulge yourself completely because those small happiness in the path of your goal will always motivate you to approach faster. Also at the end of the day if you taste failure atleast you will have those moments to cherish and will lift you up and make you confident for the second attempt. We say movies and TV spoil people but not always correct, it’s the person’s view what he takes from that and the movies like these will definitely inspires the young generation to do something worth with their life. It’s a change world today wherein your parents understands the importance of individual excellence and gives them freedom to achieve what they want. Sometimes there are various factors that might restrict your progress the dominant being money but if you are worth of your passion then for sure nothing can stop you.

A lesson to all the young is to follow your dreams some day so that when you lay on your death bed one day atleast you will be happy of atleast one moment of living your life your own way. And if you are able to do it consistently then you feel yourself lucky enough to born in this world. To all the great parents, its time not to pose your dreams onto your children’s as they already have one which they want to achieve. Instead be a supporter rather than restrictor. If your kid want to follow your dreams and it’s the same as you want then you are lucky if not then also you are lucky. The important things are to know what they want and make sure they have a dream, a goal and a passion to achieve that. In the end I just want to say, fly like you have wings because the air is never gonna end and no one can take your wings away…
