As you might have guessed reading the title it is definitely related to the movie. But this is not a review but i might say, may be it inspired me to think about it and write this one ...
I saw the movie only a month ago (ya of course its such a big blunder i hadn't seen it before)and it moved me to tears. Truly it is one of the best movies i have ever seen. I loved the movie because they did not tell exactly what was that made one happy but they just showed you everything about life and let one draw their own interpretations. It raised some fundamental questions in my mind. If you are in pursuit of something you must know what it is that you are looking for exactly!! and why are you searching that ... did you lose it? did you ever have it to lose it??
Happiness is merely a state of mind, i am sure all of us know this, but how do you define it? What exactly are the characteristics of it? what are you supposed to do to get all of it? Is it a thing by itself or is it just an absence of nothing that worries you? One may be tempted to answer NO to that last question but think again.
Try to remember one moment in your life when you thought you were really happy. Just for a common example let me take a birthday party i had with my friends(the only one i ever had and so it was really special). So if i try to recreate that moment with all the elements that made it special and just add one tiny negative aspect to it... suppose on that day my mom or dad was sick or they had an argument so severe that i was really upset (i am delebrately adding a thing that isn't affecting me directly), so obviously i wouldn't have been able to enjoy much. So despite all the positive things which were present on that day which made me happy, i think it may be the absence of the negative things that actually mattered most!
So what is this pursuit leading us to?? Without even knowing what really makes us happy how are we going to succeed?? .......

PS :- I may be wrong to conclude like this. But i have reason to believe this is definitely true atleast with the way things are going on in my life right now!!
LOST ..
Grazing through the sea of faces
my eyes don't stop the search
until they rest upon yours.
Drowning in your dark pupils
blissful warmth surrounds
for the split second that our eyes meet.
Tingling sensations in every part
as i sway with the breeze
that ruffles through your hair.
Oh! my dearest love ...
I am wandering about aimlessly
looking out for myself
'cause i am lost .. lost in you !!
my eyes don't stop the search
until they rest upon yours.
Drowning in your dark pupils
blissful warmth surrounds
for the split second that our eyes meet.
Tingling sensations in every part
as i sway with the breeze
that ruffles through your hair.
Oh! my dearest love ...
I am wandering about aimlessly
looking out for myself
'cause i am lost .. lost in you !!
Full stop.

Through life we meet so many people, see many places, go through so many different situations, and each of this leaves some mark on us. These experiences teach us so many new things and we keep evolving as we grow. You must be thinking that is how it is for everyone, and so what is new when i am saying it now!!??
Though like all of you i knew it too.. but i just paused to think about it and i was overwhelmed really. All of us learn from these so called experiences of our life... so many things about life like positive thinking, being in control of your emotions, looking at things in different perspective... but how many of us actually do it?? we really want to do it and we might be thinking we are doing it till realty hits us and we fall apart. But life has to move on and so you sit back and think!! But not to brood over mishaps in life, but to learn not to do them again. But this never seems to work out in my life.. i end up doing the same thing all over again, making wrong decisions all the time and regretting it later. It is high time i put a BIG full stop to all this and move on. I thought this is not some conscious thing that one can do. You just can't change yourself overnight but that's actually not true.
Truly if with all your heart you desire and believe the change it takes just a second actually to do it. But of course a lifetime for implementing it. And through that time you keep making improvements to it as your bag of experiences grow larger!!
But it shouldn't be a heavy baggage to carry around.. it must be something you enjoy taking it with you as it is there to help you in times of trouble.
Everything is just a thought away!!
