Revisiting '3-idiots': all is WELL

As of now, many of us have seen the most awaited movie of the year 2009: '3- Idiots'. And certainly as with other movies of Aamir, we all liked this movie. But this time, the movie has broken all the records of Bollywood movies mustering the highest ever revenue of Rs.2400 bn. in just a span of first 10 days since its release. Our famous 'Aamir Khan' would be more 'Aamir' and his parents would be more than happy with the success of their reluctant and out-of-the-box thinking son. Being the only actor in whole of Bombay's film industry to be specific about his work scripts and release dates of the movie he works in, Aamir stands aloft among the top actors of contemporary Indian Cinema.
Since December 25, 2007 when stars were first seen on the ground with the release of 'Taare Zameen Par', through the wonderful journey of Hira Nandani, avenging Kalpana's murder in Ghazini, Aamir has once again proved himself as the best of all the Idiots being printed on celluloid.
If given a thought, what makes his movies extravagantly famous? He works in the same industry in which other actors work. 3-idiot is the third film of Rajkumar Hirani after Munna Bhai sequals. But what is different in the acting of Aamir that attracts the multitude of Indian cinema lovers to make the movie a big hit?
The answer to the above questions is quite simple:
"Working according to your inner interests, chase Excellence and Success will follow"
It was the main theme of ‘Taare Zameen Par’ and this time as well the gist of the story-line is same, working on that only gives Aamir this much success. But to be somewhat specific, chasing excellence doesn't means that you ask a person (with innate photography skills) to be an engineer from premier institute of the country. This will only hamper the growth within the person and make him bereft of even his own innate skills. Chasing excellence means the pursuit of your interests, avocations and bailiwick, no matter how less their recognition in this world is. Also, once you start working on the things you are interested in, your journey will not only gives you happiness and bliss but your excellence in that field will make it known to others marking you as 'Successful' both in your as well as others' ways. Your pursuit will become the real 'Pursuit of Happiness'. Once you will reach at your own goals with this excellence, you will realize the real benefits of thinking and working differently out of the crab culture as per your own inner choices and your will hear your heart saying 'ALL IS WELL'. For a crab in a well, the sky is only of the size of the cross section of the well. But once it comes out of the well, it realized the real unfathomable vast firmament.
So the need of the hour is to get yourself out of the WELL, staying away from the crab culture and be the AAMIR among your own IDIOTS not only three but many of your whole world.
And once you are excellent.....TO BOLO ALL IS WELL.. :-)

The Midnight

It's one of the midnights when stars are scores
It's such a midnight when darkness sores
It was a midnight i savored you as a rose..
That Moon is still there but lights no more
Never thought of this midnight, i'll be so alone
Today It's the midnight when you are far away
but my heart is so close..my heart is so close..

The same night is here which u see,
But we are part,as two shores of a sea..
U hv good dreams, all worries set free
This agony to feel and Nightmares are for me..
It was a midnight whn i found u gone
Yes it is the midnight my life had never shown...
Today It's the midnight when you are far away
but my heart is so close..my heart is so close..

Hw good is this midnight? As dark as a coal..
Why we revere love in the end If separation is its goal...
I wonder if I am still immured or a prisoner on parole
No one is to love here, no one is to console
What I am left with are these poems and prose
Today It's the midnight when you are far away
but my heart is so close..my heart is so close..

A hope in my heart, since the time we depart
This night would be ended, a new day will start
A new joy of love, as the ecstasy in art
Still waiting for the day, that life to restart
New will be that midnight when clock would be slow,
A new wave of reverence and affection will flow
When you will smile n ur face will glow..
Soon would be that midnight when the sky will bow
Soon would be the midnight when you won't far away
and my I'll be so close..my heart will be so close..
that wud be a midnight when we will be close, when we will be close...
