I don't know what this corporate sector does to you but weekend seems awfully lazy!!
I am a guilty victim of this phenomenon!
Well the best act of being lazy is to watch a movie while munching on high-on-carbohydrate snack!
And so the movie for the day was The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Well when about a year and a half back it had won the Oscar, I had had a tough time remembering its title.
So all this while being a couch-potato (which kinda suits my weight now) I caught hold of the effective dialogues from the movie.
It happens all the time when you see a movie, one or two line more-often-than-never by a protagonist gets clicked by your mind. And it remains in there forever; only to be used at the appropriate time.
And this movie sure as hell had such lines:
One very effective one liner by the protagonist Benjamin Button was:
"Your life is defined by its opportunities... even the ones you miss!"
And of course the most enduring was when Benjamin narrates in his own way "how exactly" Daisy was hit by the taxi; and explaining this very simple thing in the deepest and the most complex way possible:
"But life being what it is - a series of intersecting lives and incidents, out of any one's control!"
And at the end of the movie I have just this one thought:
Whatever we may talk about on this earth each and every thing from our lives to this movie has a starting point and ending. These two things can not be altered but everything in between can be!
So signing off for the day with another dialogue from the movie that touched me the most:
(This is what Benjamin growing younger and nearer to death wrote for her daughter on her 13th b'day)
"...for what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again..."
