 Key quotes from my 7 favourite movies 

1) Robocop - 

Serve the public trust, protect the innocent, uphold the law.

2) Forrest Gump 


“Life is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you’re gonna get.”

3) Th Pursuit of happyness


“Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you you can’t do it. You want something, go get it. Period.”

4) Interstellar 

"Murphy’s Law Doesn’t Mean That Something Bad Will Happen. It Means That Whatever Can Happen Will Happen."

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light - Thomas Dylan

5) Terminator 


“I’ll Be Back” 

6) Terminal 



“- Amelia Warren: Are you coming or going?
- Viktor Navorski: I don't know. Both.”

7) Matrix 


“The Matrix is everywhere. It is all around us. It is the world that has been pulled over your eyes to blind you from the truth. A prison for your mind.” – Morpheus

The rope trick!

Life is akin to a 100-meter sprint; it's brief, so let's make it sweet. When you think about it, what's so serious about life? Whether it's the seven ages of man or our Hindu philosophy of ashramas, the journey is swift and decisive. Life has its own design, with the beginning and the end being remarkably similar, like two ends of a rope. You are born a child and die almost as one. You arrive with nothing and leave with nothing for your final destination. Yet, everyone must play their part in this rope trick—let life ascend to its highest level. It's not about money or fame. It's about being a good son, daughter, father, mother, friend, brother, sister... What's more pleasurable than being with your loved ones, sharing joy, laughter, sorrows, and even money and fame? Home is where the heart is, and my heart is with those I love. What use is money and fame if it can't be shared with them? This rope is uneven, filled with knots that must be untied together...

Utopian thoughts !

For nearly a decade, I resided in what one might call a Utopian realm, if such a place truly exists... where people cherished virtue, where perfection was the norm, where speaking the truth was a sign of strength, where candor was celebrated, where honesty earned rewards, where humility was honored, where kindness was expected, where humanity was the only faith, where integrity was esteemed, where ethics ran deep in our veins, where life was about generosity, where friendship meant sharing, where love was abundant and free, where every citizen was kin, where words like war, enemy, and hatred were absent from our vocabulary... This is where I lived for nine years... until I awoke to a world that taught me survival of the fittest... and so, I emerged from my slumber.

7 ages of a man !

Years have passed, yet I cannot forget the poem I read in my 7th grade. Back then, it held only academic significance, aimed at affecting my grades. Subconsciously, it deeply touched my mind, body, and soul. Now, with a 3-year-old child and having lost my father at 62, its relevance has dawned on me. As my father lay on his deathbed, my child's visits sparked a twinkle in his eyes, an innocence matching that in my child's gaze, both unaware of life's impermanence. In his final days, my father became as frail and vulnerable as an infant, signalling the last of man's seven ages. I, too, am traversing these stages, anticipating the transitions that complete life's full circle.
