21

I saw the movie today! I liked it...a lot I think. Not only because off course it’s got good acting, and an awesome story line, but because it’s a movie with a message. I mean look at the guy, he spent his life trying too hard to spend the rest of it a certain way. He does this till he’s driven to a point of no return. Yes, he will go to any extent to earn money for Harvard med school. I know it’s unlikely that you or I go to Vegas and start gambling to achieve a ‘means to an end’. But we could also get sucked into doing something we never wanted to do. And at the cost of what? A normal life!
I’d urge all of you youngsters out there, to push yourself while you can, but enjoy the ride because it won’t come back. You don’t want to miss out in life, do you? So if life throws lemons at you, really now...couldn’t we all do with some nimbu paani? Besides, being 21 is a blessing, one that will never return. So your allowed to be messed up, your life will sort itself out. Like I always say...if you’re 21 and you’re sorted, either you’re lying to me...or to yourself!
While you freak out and start making mental calculations of the year you should marry by and the year you should do your MBA, the year you should have kids and the year you should finish studying, I’d urge you to ‘always account for variable change’.
