The Dark Knight Rises!!

Yes me and superhero movie!! Since Avengers I am watching every superhero movie. I loved Christian Bell in the movie. He is superb!! Mr Bruce Wayne. The movie is a true perfection. As I have not seen any other Batman movie I don't have anything to compare.

I liked Batman and his character, the city of Gotham, the prison , most importantly the message "Determination".

It is the Determination Blake has that one day all the cops will be out.
It is the Bruce's Determination to get out of the prison.To do the impossible.
Alfred's hope to see Bruce in Italy.
The commissioner's determination to save the city.
The trapped policemen's hope that they will be out sometime.  

It's a beautiful movie and every single detail is taken care of. The gadgets, costumes, dialogues everything!! Here are some dialogues I really really liked.

"Be careful what you wish for."

It doesn't matter who we are...what matters is our plan. No one cared who I was till I put on the mask.

A hero can be anyone, even a man doing something as simple and reassuring as putting a coat around a young boy's shoulders to let him know the world hasn't ended.

While watching the movie I remembered the text from Seven Spiritual Laws of Superheros by Deepak Chopra/Gotham Chopra. Now I can relate to that book. Do read it. It's a good read.

As a man thinketh!!

                                This is a true classic!! I believe this is the base of all the modern self help/belief/new thought genre.. The author James Allen published this book in the year of 1902.This book has got everything a person might need to live his life completely!! Hats off to Mr Allen. What a book!! I am just going to write some of the phrases from this book. Do read this classic.



Only by much searching and mining are gold an diamonds obtained, and man can find every truth connected
with his being if he will dig deep into the mine of his soul.

Circumstance does not make the man; it reveals him to himself.

You cannot travel within and stand still without.



You will be what you will to be;
Let failure find its false content
In that poor word, "environment,"
But spirit scorns it, and is free.

It masters time, it conquers space;
It cows that boastful trickster, Chance,
And bids the tyrant Circumstance
Uncrown, and fill a servant's place.

The human Will, that force unseen,
The offspring of a deathless Soul,
Can hew a way to any goal,
Though walls of granite intervene.

Be not impatient in delay,
But wait as one who understands;
When spirit rises and commands,
The gods are ready to obey.


There can be no progress, no achievement without sacrifice, and a man's worldly success will be in the measure that he sacrifices his confused animal thoughts, and fixes his mind on the development of his plans, and the strengthening of his resolution and self reliance.

Journey



आज मी खूप साधी गोष्ट लिहिणार आहे..
जी मी अनुभवली आहे..या आठवड्यात मी नवीन फोन घेतला..Finally!! २ वर्ष ज्या गोष्टीसाठी थांबले होते ती झाली..
सुरुवातीला जेव्हा इथे आले तेव्हा लगेच चांगला फोन नाही घेतला आणि मग कंपनीच्या पॉलिसी प्रमाणे २१ महिन्यांनी मला नवीन फोन मिळाला..

मी हे २१ महिने संपण्याची अगदी मनापसून वाट बघत होते..जेव्हा मी हा फोन घेतला तेव्हा मला समजलं
It is not about your destination, it is about the journey!!

I know a lot has been said/written about this Journey..But trust me, one won't understand the journey unless
one experiences it..हे मिळालं कि माझ्या आयुष्यात "stability" येईल..या गोष्टी झाल्या कि मी आनंदी असेन..
मी कित्येक वेळा म्हणायचे, नवीन फोन मिळाला कि मी असं करेन आणि हे APP वापरेन..पण नवीन फोन मिळेपर्यंत चा काळ,
हे २१ महिने..त्याचं काय ? आज कळतंय कि ते ही तेवढेच महत्वाचे होते..ते ही मी तेवढेच आनंदाने काढले..
खरच नवीन फोन मिळाला म्हणून काही आयुष्य बदलत नाही,व्यक्ती म्हणून मी बदलत नाही , तसंच आहे बाकी सगळ्या गोष्टींचं सुद्धा..
ध्येय पूर्ण झालं म्हणजेच आनंद मिळेल असं नाहीये..तुम्हाला सगळ्यांना या गोष्टी कदाचित माहित असतील
पण मी मात्र अनुभवातून शिकणाऱ्यापैकी  एक आहे..जर मी आज आनंदी नसेन तर मी अमुक एक गोष्ट पूर्ण झाल्यावर
आनंदी असेनच अशी guarantee आहे का ?


जास्त नाही लिहिणार फक्त एवढाच म्हणायचं आहे
It is not the destination!! It is the journey!!

अंधाराची गंमत



एवढ्यात मी एका ठिकाणी हे ऐकलं अंधाराबद्दल आणि त्यावरून जे सुचलं ते लिहित आहे..

भरून आलेलं आभाळ..मिट्ट काळोख..
भरलेले डोळे आणि त्याहूनही जास्त मन..

या अंधारात सावली देणारं झाड काळ
आणि त्या पडलेल्या सावल्याही काळ्याच..

मनातल्या पडद्यावरची स्वप्नं सुद्धा काळी
आणि त्यावर पडणारा पडदा सुद्धा काळाच

अंधारलेल्या या क्षणी स्वच्छ काही काही दिसत नाही
काळ्या कुट्ट अंधारात आरसा सुद्धा खरं बोलत नाही..

ओथंबून वाहणाऱ्या भावना सुद्धा गडद व्हायला लागतात..
आणि कदाचित त्यासोबत वाहत जाणारा सुद्धा..
