Some films offer a new perspective to life, giving a food for thought. Dear Zindagi is one such film- a breeze of fresh air, giving a new outlook to life!
No matter how ‘cool’ this generation may look, but sometimes somewhere we are totally ‘screwed!’, we want to say ‘Just go to hell’, we are stuck in a maze and can’t find a way out! And then finally we need that ‘dimag ka doctor’ to decode the puzzle. Here are a few lessons from the DD:

1. Patience: It is something that this instant ‘2 minute’ generation desperately requires! No matter how fast your smart phone is, life cannot always run on 4G!

2. The easier path: ‘Easy is difficult’ for the Gen Ys. We have been taught ‘to achieve something worthy we need to resort to a tough route’. Is it always necessary and worthy? Are we prepared? Preliminary preparation is mandatory before embarking on a tough journey. Time to sit back and rethink! 

3. Facing fears: Rather than running away from fears all through life, it’s wise to face it for once and get over them. Some gutty thing yeah? Don’t let your past blackmail your present to ruin your future!

4. “Who are those people?”: We don’t know how many lives have been altered, affected and people have ceased to express or do what they love, for this one thought- ‘What will people say?’. This question has been bogging us down from the time we gained our senses and we have been expected to behave in a particular manner by the society. Really who are these faceless people behind our lives? Do they matter so much that we sacrifice our lives and happiness over them?

5. Expecting the unusual to happen: Those grown on comics and fairy tales have their ever-lasting impact on them. We are programmed so much by the happenings around us and a very strong belief system. We expect miracles to happen, often without extra efforts or with insufficient efforts. But as the great scientist Albert Einstein rightly said, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different result". So it’s time to do something different or things differently for magic to happen!

6. Genius is about knowing where to stop: This is a tricky one. Once you know something is becoming a habit, you are getting dependent on someone/ something, it’s time to stop and think!

Let’s have a rendezvous with Life! Embrace it and say, ‘Love You Zindagi’….

“Dear Zindagi, I know we haven’t been in touch for long. Just wanted to say ‘Hi!’”
