Rocky Balboa–The Series

Never felt so inspired by a movie until now. The movie series by Sylvester Stallion surely puts forward a basic yet a very wonderful example of how a certain under-dog waiting for a break finally proves his worth in all ways to the world- bimagey speaking about the rags to riches American Dream story of Rocky Balboa. That being said, there are things about the movie that makes the viewers not only think but realise that its not just about the Fighting but a life behind it. The movie shows the ups and downs of a single man who tries not only to stick to his dreams but also makes them happen and loses his self in the process to stop believing in himself after he possesses the great title of the Worlds. It also brings me to an halt here when i say this, asking myself the same question i have been asking myself all the time – Am i somewhere in the stage where in i have lost the ‘Eye’ for Life and the stuff i want to do in my life. This is a question i would rather you all ask yourself and determine what is needed in life. It does not matter what age you are and what kind of work one does, but it surely matters if you can get up after getting lost in life – be it once, twice, thrice or more than that. What matters is you are true to yourself and make the life that you choose to live and not go with the flow –there are a lot of things to go in flow with –Life isn’t one of it!!!!

Having said that, the Series also shows what it takes to get over a place on top; and surely it aint simply just hard work. Its determination, dedication,devotion and last but not the least – “Eye of the Tiger”

Life in a Black Out Situation

Many (and not most people) don really realize the fact that a Blackout can cause a lot of introspection and not just reminiscence of a lot of memories.

Bangalore has had its few moments of treating me with those black out.

A so called metro wherein, you get to see everything along with load shedding; Things don’t really get messy as much as you would imagine them to be, if you were in Mumbai otherwise; people hate the heat in Mumbai but love the place and the brand tag that comes along with that.

Coming back to Bengaluru, a lot of things make it worth a boon to have a black out once in a while. You realize what you have missed talking to the people and gets the main and important thing true. Togetherness in a lonesome environment when there is no Edison even to light you up. ;)

Having said this, I should not forget that the moments are even enlightened when you got a beer and a smoke in your hand and the light gives way halfway thru the mehfil. You realize that there is a life beyond just IT. I always felt people were seldom known only by their nature when in need of help of crisis. Today, I must admit, its not just a friend in need that is a friend indeed. There are things that you come to know when there is simply nothing that u can see or perceive and yet you know that you are not alone; and that you can actually have a smoke and yet know that there is someone else who is sitting next to you and having a nice dope as well alongside the beers/whisky and yet finds it a level of comfort to talk and make you feel lesser of a ghost.

Not wanting to waste the moment anymore, I wish to go back to my beer and continue my chat with my roomie and enjoy the taste of 90s and 80s which almost never fail to rejuvenate and kick me high.

Cheerio.
