The day we saw 'English-Vinglish'

Wow, what a day it has been, especially the evening!!! The three of us had dinner together - Anju, Khyati and I - the first time since Khyati moved in with us way back in June!. But, glad that we spent some classy time together and that too watching English-Vinglish. :) A good movie - something i would recommend, definitely..

I am not  a movie critic and don't intend to make this post a critique either; but i certainly wish to jot some points down here, words of wisdom as always ;) - because I love them really!!

Well, there is one lesson in the movie that really struck me hard. When you chose your better half, it is imperative that you are both of the same level, no disparity exists. For if it does, it will lead to differences, to one person treating the other as a lesser being; which is a fool-proof recipe for things falling apart..relationships getting sour...So avoid disparities at all costs!

It also says that, even when you chose someone of the same standing as yourself, to start with, there may come a stage when one of you fares better than the other and differences creep in as an obvious consequence. If such a situation does arise, it is worthy to continue treating each other with respect and dignity. But the most important lesson that comes here is, the lesser individual has to take it in his own hands. He/she has to resolve the differences, but must do it ON HIS/HER OWN. They should not expect any outside help or support. The responsibility and the onus to catch-up rests with the lesser individual. He/She alone can help her/his situation. You've got to strive to catch up if you happen to be one!!

Thus, the gist of it all is, When it comes to uplifting yourself, only you can do it in the best possible way. The onus is entirely on you, the individual Stand up, get going fight hard and achieve it!!!
