How often does it happen when somebody
glance through the list of movies released in a particular year(date wise) in Wikipedia
starting from January to December just to recollect, get connected and relive
the olden days. It is learnt that odour, songs, movies, typical weather phenomena or weather pattern
are few of the things which are very strong reminders of things which had
happened in the past. Going though the same experience, like coming across a
particular song or movie takes us back to that time when it had actually happened.
After a tight March target coming to an end and Govt of Odisha declaring it as
a morning office, there is not much to look forward to other than watching IPL.
Off late, for last 1 month or so, I m learning driving which I should ideally
have done at least a decade back but never the less my driver is kind enough to
take all pain to teach me and I m happy that its working. Apart from this
driving training which is keeping me occupied, there isn’t much to do in Bolangir in this hot summer where
temperature is touching 45 degrees. During the last 15 days, I am going to
Collector Res on and off to play badminton.I should better be regular at it. We
have been told in academy to learn at least one racquet game well which would
be a saviour in field posting. Taking a que from that I had given badminton as
my ECM in academy. But as I was not good at it and looking at people playing
like pro restricted me to visit badminton court only during mandatory ECM
sessions just to avoid feeling inadequate. Feeling inadequate is a trap. The
more you try to avoid it, nature will throw more situations to feel you the
same and more it get reinforced. Nothing
comes easy in life. Hope I would be able to better off my badminton skills
here.
Coming
back to the topic with which I started this blog with- movies. It all started
today while I was watching Mumbai Indians Vs. Gujrat Lions match where Mumbai
performed a patchy show and having a little soft corner towards MI coz of the
fact that Sachin is associated with it, I started browsing hindi movie channel
and eventually came across ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’ in one of the HD channels. I
still remember watching this movie in a shoddy theatre near Rourkela Railway station
during my college days. I searched the movie name in Wikipedia to know the date
of release just to recollect the time and the things happening in my life during
that time. It was a mid August release of 2006. I would probably had just got
placed in TCS in campus interview. I
remember, we were forced to sit in plastic chairs at the back of theatre. I
started searching list of hindi movies released in 2007, 2008, 2009 etc. I
could recollect during my ILP days in Coimbatore where I bought a new cell
phone ( some model of sony ericsson ) where I used to listen to music from ‘Awarapan’
which was a big hit then. Those trips to Ooty and Kovalam beach I could
recollect which was the first time I got to see world with a wider view in a
true sense. ‘Bhool Bhulaiya’ was my first movie in Delhi which I watched at PVR
Priya with one of my school friends who was studying MBA in Jaipur then and had
come to meet me in Delhi. I had bought a brown winter jacket at a nearby shop
in PVR Priya campus and I have one photograph wearing it available in internet
coz that photograph I had given to Coaching institutes during my preparation
days. Going back to memory line through this movie thing is good. It reminds us
the life we once lead and people who were associated with us then.
