Now I am damn sure that the next time I get tensed, “Aal izz well” will come to my rescue.
After I came out of Keshari talkies at 9pm I just thanked almighty that the pain He caused to my legs from 6am to 10am in the morning while standing in the queue for booking my tickets proved its worth, every bit of it. My friend Avinash aka Pit also posed for a shot with his tickets in hand and the film hoarding in the background like it was a late victory for him. Ok jokes apart, the 2hrs and 50min of rolling kept my senses glued to it.
After reaching home, I started roaming from one room to another aimlessly. Something was striking me, “What is the core message hidden in the film and whether it will influence me?” Just then, my dad called me and gave me a scrap sheet with something written on it in red ink. Yup, it was a question and it was almost analogous to that ‘something-striking-me’. Below is the exact content of the scrap sheet.
Q:- What did you learn from the film “3 idiots” & what is your opinion (be frank) for the society as a whole?
A:- What I learnt from the movie
Simply, try to be ‘capable’ instead of running after success. When I feel like running after success, I prefer taking short-cuts and any possible means, e.g. ‘mugging up my semester course just few days prior to exam.’ From now on I shall try to prove my capability by giving my best, not just get the chapters by heart and keep up good points in my academic profile.
Opinion for the society
Always try to take the path which can create innovativeness (something unique, something different) within you. In the long run, I assure you that you will be really satisfied when you see the work to which you are up-to is really influencing others in some or the other way.
Well I answered to that question immediately without pondering much and gave it back to my dad. Then I saw that my lil bro was also scribbling something on a scrap. To my amazement, he was also given the same job that I had just finished.
After my dad read my “job-sheet” I sensed that he was happy and satisfied that he had got his answers. Well next day I was shown my bro’s sheet and I found the answer of a 15 year old very pursuing than that of mine. Sorry guys, his sheet is copyrighted and can’t be published here.
Aah, this was my bit of story that immediately followed the evening show of 3idiots. I can really bet that all of you who are reading this must have had an immediate experience in their real lives after the reel story ended. And all of you must have been really motivated and a deep urge must be rising inside you to start doing your bit towards “Excellence”.
I witnessed the same thing. That night I was talking with my bro while on my bed. My bro is in 9th std and he has got 3 more years that will put him on the track. For the first time, I enquired about his performance in academics. At that time I came to know that he prefers mugging-up those stuffs that are out of his perceived boundaries. Before that “chamatkar” would have metamorphosed to “balatkaar”, I strictly told him to discuss those stuffs with me the next day. As said, I helped him with chemistry stuffs in the morning. I tried to ensure that he doesn’t remember the structure and shapes of symbols in the formulas and location of units and multipliers. Rather he should accept that every formula is just a relation between physical quantities and they are inter-connected. So that when he faces a problem he just tries to remember the concept (simply definition) and use it. I was sure that if he does this, then boring stuffs can actually become interesting.
That night I had another experience and that really owes to the slogan, “Aal izz well”. I had a bad quarrel with a nice friend and due to unavoidable events I told my friend to avoid me for the best so that I would never show up in future. After that I was very tensed, feeling bad and guilty till that night. Then I decided to apologize to my friend and I did that while chanting “aal izz well… sab thik thak”. And it really worked..!!
I think I have started doing my bit and I hope you guys also must have started doing the same. To those who have not yet started thinking over it, I would like you to ‘get another chance so u can grow up once again’.
Now you must be thinking, “Why this idiot described so much to deliver so less?”
Then to that I can escape with an excuse “koi bhi baat ko simple karke samjhao toh who baat badi ho jaati hai.”

real interesting insight dude....at times all of us do hanker after success compromising on excellence
@Don Anjan: Thanx for the support.
Feels nice to know, that yours is the only dad who thinks there's a lot to learn from movies. Else all others look at the negative side.
