It was a bright sunny Sunday morning, I was semiconsciously lying on my easychair reading some dailies. Suddenly, an article which said ‘DVD of the week’ caught my attention because the title of the movie discussed was quite familiar to me. As soon as, I saw ‘Into the Wild’ I knew that I do had a copy of that movie from longtime somewhere stored in my old-buggy (computer). After a thorough search performed on my computer for that movie, I eventually found it. Thank god to those who kept this little search option in there.
The movie was about a guy ‘Chris’ who is not so happy with his present. He has been a bright student and recently graduated. He had decent numbers to show up as savings in his bank account and moreover he had great supporting parents. He is a guy with different mind-set and unique ideas altogether. He believes that money is not indispensable enough to live and to live happily. Out-of-the-blue, one day, he wakes up, writes a goodbye note to his parents and a cheque donating all his money to the charity and starts his journey of lifetime all alone. He disappears into the wild in search of true happiness which according to him was beyond worldly concerns. During his expedition he goes through beautiful locations, encounters difficult situations and meets with emotionally varied people. After spending over two years in isolation, in mountains and forests, he finally comes to the conclusion. He then realizes that the true happiness of one’s life cannot be achieved, captured and cherished living lonely but together. The best of many best scenes from this movie was, when he scribbles:

“HAPPINESS IS ONLY REAL WHEN SHARED ” in his diary just before he knew that he is going to die and not going to make it back home. Not going much into details let me continue my blog. Better get this DVD to know more, if interested.
Well, watching that movie was some treat on a these-days-boring Sunday.
That movie made an positive impact on me. It made me to think about that something without which I might not be truly happy. Since then, I have been making some thinking, whenever I get some time, about my own life a little. After having done that, it took quite some time to rediscover myself back. When I did, I realized that there is indeed something really big, something really important and something really special has been missing in my life through these many years. Alas! that “something” is still a stranger to me. I guess, I need to do a lot more thinking to be clear on that. Until then, few things that were atleast clear were as follows:

Alas! that “something” is still a stranger to me. I guess, I need to do a lot more thinking to be clear on that. Until then, few things that were atleast clear were as follows:
At first, I thought that it has to be the “love” factor that is missing from my colorful life.
Then something LEISURELY and SADLY responded: Ofcourse not!
Second, I thought about “friends” factor.
Then something INSTANTLY and HAPPILY responded: Ofcourse not!
Are not you wondering why was it different expression for LOVE and different for FRIEND? Well! In my first case, that something which responded was 'my mind' whereas it was 'my heart' in the latter. I know, for most of you too the answers would be the same but that something vice-versa. And if you ask me, why do I think so? Then, I must say, I think I don't know!
Therefore, Dear Comrades!
You may now think that I am confused but I am not trying to be confused to confuse you but really I am. Probably, the quest to zero in that stranger something lacking in my life is making me to think about my thinkings and that could be the reason I am sounding confused. Confused now?
Whatever! Happy thinking!! Come again!!!
