I wanna be Forrest

The other day I was reading a blog titled "Run Forrest Run", this made me remember Forrest Gump, my favourite movie. Considering my situation right now, being in a continuous state of confusion, I began analyzing Forrest Gump in a way I have never done before [ Mind you, I have analysed him a lot ]. Seeing Forrest do amazingly funny things and seeing him achieve stardom in what ever he was doing was really funny. For me, he was an innocent guy who went about doing what ever he liked, who got really lucky and who was also one who did not even realize that he got lucky.

Forrest had a beautiful girl friend who told him to run, I don't have one nor do I intend to have one anytime soon. But I want my life to tell me to run, Run Chaithu Run!!! When Forrest decided to run, he began running with out giving a care to the world around him, He did not even realize that he had become a cult figure and that he was tracked by one n all. Even I wanna do things with out thinking about what other person thinks.

Forrest was awarded for bravery in war, he became a world champion in Table Tennis, he became a business tycoon and he remained that same old innocent "boy". How can some one just think, like I did, that he was just lucky? He was not and he cannot. He followed his heart and earnestly followed it with out questioning [With out wasting his time; take it as a case study of productivity, productivity of life ]. Now I wanna succeed in my life, for a change I wanna acknowledge my success too.


Ok, Where did Forrest get it right and where did, I and I am sure many people like me, got it wrong [I still have time to get it right though]


Maybe as I grew, I in my attempt to learn anything n everything, I learned so much about things around me that I inevitably polluted my mind. May be I should not think that "For every action there is an equal & opposite reaction", May be I should not have learnt it because from the time I learnt it, I have been inevitably thinking of the Opposite reaction rather than concentrating on action but is it correct to stop someone from leaning Newton's Laws of motion. As a science lover, I will say No.

Considering the fact that we can never have as pure a brain as Forrest had, the only the road ahead is to improve, to have a constant urge to improve, to never sit on laurels. Finally, Please don't judge ur improvement through others eyes. If Forrest had seen world through others eyes, there would not have been a Forrest Gump and I would not have even written this post.

Finally I could see myself sitting on a bench near the bus stop and keep telling something or other about my thoughts to everyone thru my blog until I catch my bus. The chances r u will get bored.

PS:- For People Who Don't know about Forrest Gump, You can see him in a movie titled Forrest Gump. You can get his DVD/CD from any good movie retailer. After watching the movie, try reading this post again, U may get something from it [ WARNING: TRYING TO GET LOGIC FROM MY POSTS IS AS DIFFICULT AS IT GETS ]

Having Fun

Off late, I have been having lot of fun.

First & foremost, I got Fifa07 installed in my roomies PC and spent one full day and one or two evenings trying to get a hold of it. I was a die-hard FIFA player until fifa 2004, after that slowing PC & Work kept me away from it for a long time. I guess my passion for it has still not gone. The game is great though; it's much more realistic and much more challenging.

But things have not been great even here; Playing FIFA07 made me realise that I am no longer playing it as well as I used to; I guess I played for only one day though. Of course my joy stick keeps giving me problems and my roomies PC though adequate is not a perfect machine to play. I think I should buy a lethal laptop (Not only for games, it will be useful as a personal computer:) ) and probably an XBOX joystick to go with it. I have never been a fan of Game stations aka XBOX, PS3. May be its time for them. The only thing that's stopping me right now from going full throttle is my career. Once I get it on track, one will see more of me in games.

I have been playing Cricket 2007 also, it's a pretty easy game though. It's good for fun and I guess I had enough of cricket especially after seeing India's performance in World Cup.

Have not seen many movies recently; I did see spiderman-3 and two ridiculous Telugu movies. Spiderman-3 was boring, it was either a slow drama or a Super fast game, there was very little enjoyment in it, the second half comedy involving Tobey Maguire is funny though; Of course I told every one that I loved it as I could not imagine my roomie, who is a big batman fan, having a laugh at me. I have many to-see movies in my list: Metro, Pirates, Shrek, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom & finally Harry Potter. Now did any one say that they have not seen many movies recently? Well, I dont know.

From being some one who didn't notice girls around me, now I am seeing lot of girls ( purely seeing ). I guess "inspiring friends" around me in my office have inspired me enough to change my habits. I guess India is a beautiful country and there are many many girls around us who are beautiful and Beauty is something that should be appreciated and enjoyed and understood as a creation of God.

Finally I think having fun is funny as long as it's not affecting ur goals and ur efforts. Enjoy!!!
