Currently I'm busy(seriously) with my mid semester exams which will probably continue for a week and henceforth I would accelerate the preparations for the impending "placements".In between papers I got two day's holiday,much to dismay as I always wished it to by "unnoticed".It was declared a public holiday because this day coincided with the Birthday of Biju Patnaik ,whom you can call a pioneer of today's Orrisa .The other day due to "Mahashivratri" ,one of the prominent hindu festivals.Sometimes I wonder if there were no hindus in India surely students would have been deprived of such holidays.Anyhow no need to freak out .We welcome such breaks with open arms.Perhaps this time the timing for the holidays wasn't apposite because it needlessly extended the duration over which exams were supposed to be held.This irks me more as I quickly wanted to get over these exams and continue with my preparations for the placements .Well I took off time to relax( as always) and decided to procrastinate it.Actually I was too happy to see India win the CB series finals thrashing the mighty Australians . In fact the whole of India was rejoicing .Thanks to Sachin for such a masterful knock in both the finals .Sometimes I wonder how is he able to cope with the pressure of over one billion population.And he has been delivering that since his debut at such aa ripe age.But then soon I realize that he is Sachin ,a legend of Indian cricket in fact of world cricket .And those who don't like them or those who criticize them should go to hell.
So today I watched a movie titled "Peaceful Warrior" .I should call it a gem and seriously advice people to surely watch this one.Caution:This movie is full of philosophy and those who are weak at it (I mean allergy) should refrain themselves from watching such stuffs.I seriously beg to those people too who think at they know loads of "that" kind of stuff also should move away .I will not entertain any accusations later on.Anyhow I have a great affinity for anything which inspires me or anything which can bring about changes in me only to improve me as an individual.This hollywood flick is based on a novel with the same name and the protagonist "Dan millman " is it's author.I don't know whether it's based on a true life incident and i don't wan't to.So now i am on the hunt for the book itself after enjoying the flick.This movie is about Dan millman who is a gymnast and his struggles with "himself".His inner self ,his soul.Though he is quite happy with events happening in his life but is not able to get restful sleep in nights. Then he actually realizes that he isn't happy at all. There is something which time and again makes him sad ,makes him to fear. He fears that what would happen if he would not be able to qualify for the Olympics .Why is he constantly thinking about his competitors or about the gold medal which is his ultimate goal. During the trainings his mind is full of such useless thoughts which he is unable to part with .He is not at "PEACE" with himself.Then he meets with an elderly gentleman ,his own self actually, which unites him with peace .In the process he learns a lot about life while he was recuperating from an accident and finally he went on to realize all his dreams.Seriously this movie is loaded with beautiful quotations which are needed to be jotted down .Journey is what that makes happy ,not the destination.Get rid of your pride and your possessions.Got a taste of that stuff.Taking a cue from Millamn's life.....
