Life mein kabhi kabhi...

Sounds like a movie title!! Well, life is a movie.... a thriller, comdey, romantic, family drama, PLUS a reality show!! How interesting is that!! Imagine looking at your own life as you would watch a movie..... it is fun I do that sometimes. Let's see if we can do that again.... just sit quietly, visualise, a huge screen, events unlimited, but you have to choose one..... then... shhh listen, do you see yourself, see how you spoke or reacted - a question being asked, an answer being demanded or just plain statements, see how the others are reacting, then next frames - the different consequences of first frame and so on and on and on till you have no more time or you are tired of it (I never get tired of this game!!) .
Yeah in non-Aditi world they call this retrospection, I hate the name.. sounds very technical!!
This movie thing helps a lot, you eventually will start critiqing like you critique any commercial movies that you watch like - yeh story aisi hoti to jyada achcha hota, yaa yeh end thik nahi tha or yeh to kitna illogical tha yaa iss event ki jaroorat hi nahi thi, etc. And... this my dear friend is what you need in life - honest self-criticism. (of course that is if you think you are not perfect but you can be someday)
I have had tons of REALIZATIONS, since these movies started happening to me. Some made me happy, some made me sad but always proved to be LESSONS to learn!!
Tum bhi try karo aur dekho life mein kabhi kabhi.....

Good that you have found your way to do 'retrospection'. Sorry that word is just perfect!!!
Feeling the need to retrospect is the first step towards improvement.....and finding that way is a major breakthrough!!!

Hey aditi,
First of, well-expressed entry! Hats off!!!

Now, i have to agree with chips. Everyone finds a way to retrospect and am glad you found yours. I guess techie terms are just a matter of choice. Call it by any name, but learning from the lessons of your life is critical.

I am sure it will help you reach the peaks! Abhi kaunsa picture dekhenge ???

Sudhu :)

hey DDT! this is all so true...
mhanje sometimes we are so scared to look back at the mistakes that we purposely avoid seeing this movie..

Definately !realization of mistakes is the first step towards improvisation!But arnt mistakes subjective? :) For me, you would be wrong or might have reacted to a situation in an unpleasant manner, but you would not count the same as a mistake...So how do u realise the right mistake?

@ Vrushali, yeah true everything in life is subjective. But for me, I have never considered anything in life to be right or wrong based on others' opinions.
Ofcourse others can influence it but to take their opinion or not is my choice!!
So my Monali mami always says, 'there is nothing right and nothing wrong, people and situtations decide what is right or wrong for the moment.' I agree.
