Rock on

Yesterday I saw the movie "Rock On!". I liked the movie very much. It is like a remake of Dil Chahta Hai. A story about four friends who are part of a rock band. Then two of them have misunderstanding and the band breaks up. Then each one goes his own way and after 10 years, they all come together and revive the band.

The music is awesome. There are all kinds of songs in the album with a heavy emphasis on Rock genre. I think this film will appeal to any cinegoer irrespective of whether he/she likes Rock music. My intention in writing this blog entry was not just to give my review of the movie. On the movie poster, they had a quote by Mark Twain which is as follows

"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by ones you did do."- Mark Twain

I completely agree with the above statement. Today I always have this wish to relive my childhood as I feel there are lot of things that I did not do. If a genie asks me for a wish I would always ask for another chance to live my childhood.

I know that probably everyone would do the same because childhood is so good, no worries, no responsibilities etc. But my wish is not related to any of these things. My wish is deep rooted to the fact that I feel I did not enjoy a lot of things in my childhood. I used to be a very reserved person and always liked to be alone. I never played with anyone but myself and later on with my brother. I never did any of those naughty and childish things all children do.

Now I am a different person than what I was as a child. So now when others tell me that they did this, they did that in their childhood, I always feel bad about a lot of things that I missed out on in my childhood. And time flies very fast. Before I knew, my childhood was gone, my bachelor days are gone and soon I will be in my thirties, then forties and will retire. Scary when I think about it.

So the lesson to be learned is to live life in the present. Do everything you can and want to NOW. Don't wait for tomorrow, for tomorrow you may be forced to do something else. Live all your dreams today so that you do not have any regrets later on in your life.
