nightmares and dreams

How a person is supposed to react when he realizes that all his worst nightmares but very few of dreams have always come true.Life is preparing him for always the next battle...Should he feel happy to be chosen one OR go depressed..
But no matter how he feels,he definitely has no choice since his fate is sealed. But he is at positive side since he knows that he has battles to be fought and won all through his life so he can not rest or take things for granted..So he must not be depressed..But can he be happy ?? Not sure about this though.

Why do we compare ourselves with others ?? i think we should never because each one has own destiny and own calamities and happiness.Everyone of us is so different yet so same.

Sometimes i wonder that we lose a lot as we grow up in life though we might grow materialistcally.

All these thoughts are weird and were disturbing me since last few days.

astitva !!

This post comes from Redmond,my current location.

Few days back, I happen to watch a movie "Astitva".

"Astitiva" is the story of Aditi (Tabu), a housewife and a mother to grown-up Son.
She is married to self-centered business man Shrikant Pandit(Sachin Khandekar) for almost 3 decades now.Her life revolves around making meals,reading newspaper, doing normal domestic chores with no other interest in the outer world and she is happy this way.
Well, the movie starts when Aditi receives a huge will from her Music Guru ,Malhar Kamat,with whom she did not have contact for more than two decades. Her husband ,who is in habit of writing dairy,gets curious and does investigation by reading his dairies.He has questions that concerns Tabu's fidelity and he rightly confronts her. She honestly tells him the truth and reasons of infidelity.He could not understand her at all and insults her in front of his friends. So far so good.
A man has spend more than 25 years of his life with woman and the way he disgraces her is totally unfair.He could never ever understand his own wife and her viewpoint.
Aditi explains that starts of the marriage was shaky for both of them with Shri being busy in his work always and on his tours most of the times. She was at home alone and feeling lonely. She asks him if they could get child Or may be she could work to pass her time. He overrules both of the options and throws an option of learning music. Tabu makes relationship with his music teacher who had sensed her lonilness.She begets son from him. Now,he is died after naming her as heir. Still ,Shrikant fails to understand the situation and worried for reaction of whole world.

I liked end of the movie where Aditi answers all the questions of Shrikant , it is totally brillant.

Watch it some time for good quality and no-nonsense movie.

in redmond,seattle

writing this post from archstone redmond hill,redmond near seattle.
My husband wanted to make this part of the world our home for few years and here we are. We put our hyderabad apartment on rent,i left my job,sold our car and many such stuff to make a new life together in Redmond. I was filled with lots of fears and some happiness at that time also and now it has not subsided. Still trying to figure out the future course of action as in things to do to keep me busy throughout the day before my work permit comes !! alien feeling is not leaving me.
Its been only one week that i came here but it feels eternal. Already thinking of back trip :-)
