A Movie With A Moral - Ferrari Ki Sawari



 Oh!! It had literally been years having seen a movie with a meaning...certainly not after 3 Idiots. 
Yesterday, a 9'o clock show was worth paying for ! Having nothing to do, we all planned  (though the plan was so sudden!) to go for a movie that my cousins had liked.
But I certainly didn't expect myself to like it so much.



This movie mainly raised two questions

a)     Is “dreaming big” a crime? - Kayo,an innocent boy born to a middle class family, was excellent in cricket. He was considered as a champion in his cricket club. He always dreamt of playing for his nation. His father who was a RTO clerk did all his best to nurture his son’s ambitions.  He kept motivating his son to strive harder and never lose hope. But as we all know, Indian middle class though constitute a major part of the society , yet have to face numerous struggles. Even though Kayo got selected for a LORD’s camp in London, it was herculean task to finally get through. The manager of this camp was a childhood rival of Kayo’s grandpa and initially refused to let Kayo go for the prestigious camp. But Kayo’s father’s poignant statements defeat the manager’s evil intentions.
b)     Can you go against destiny? – Well, if we can’t go against destiny we can certainly change our destiny. The father ( Rustam alias sharman joshi) collects every penny of his savings in the piggy bank to buy his son a bat for his match. He tries to give him maximum attention which eventually reaps outstanding results. Rustam plays the role of a father as well as a mother for Kayo and an obedient son for Kayo’s grandpa (alias Boman Irani). He very well knew that life without a parent would be tough but the father’s never-say-quit attitude is highly inspiring.

A film that compels you to think and take back a lesson as you exit the hall. In this dog-eat-dog world, there is cut-throat competition in every field.The Ferrari here is more than a car… it is a metaphorical image of the dreams and ambitions of middle class people. Their aspirations may be larger-than-life but they are certainly not unachievable. If our goal is clear then path is carved out by God. This is proved by the tapestry of “Ferrari Ki Sawari.”The movie touches the soul and strikes a chord with the common man.
For all the youngsters, it is a wakeup call to respect their parents for all sacrifices they have made for us. For all the adults, it is a poignant account of a father-son bond which goes beyond just a blood relation. And yes a line I just can't forget is "lets look at the brighter side of everything" .....and the story goes on and on ...

  2. Along with dreaming big, we must constantly appreciate the efforts of our near and dears who help us realise our dream.

An exam, after all!

It is an exam, she had been told! Some meticulous planning, scheduling and studying Nothing she hadn't aced before School and college work had been rewarding It is yet another exam, after all! Like always, there shall be no stone unturned Read and write for long stretches Stretches and walks in short breaks Selective study as per the marks it fetches Just an exam, after all! More sweat in training meant less blood in battle Day and night wasn't as per the position of sun anymore Portions of syllabus covered decided its end Notes and questions more important than any chore Exam wont wait for her, it wont! This was the time to make things happen Revise and re-revise till facts form a chain A lot was left to summarise and memorise Till each detail has a GPS pin in the brain Exam was coming close, it was! Questions became black holes with no limits to depth Oh wait, not just the recollection and memory She also had to brush her writing skills How is today's politics affected ...

A girl like you

A frantic nudge on the back was enough to wake me up and disturb my deep peaceful slumber time. Before I realised, it was my sister who had seen a bad dream and wanted me to help her go back to sleep. I hugged her closer to myself and mumbled to her that tomorrow morning will be better than today. Within a few minutes, she was asleep on my arm and I kept looking at her 10-year old face for a long time. I wished, then, that she always remain this close to me as she was at that moment. Till now, my wish has unfolded into an eventful journey.  If I was gentle and all nice, she was all about sass, jazz and spice; If I was reserved and introverted, she was social and ‘Noddy’–incarnated;  If I liked uni-colour cloth patches, she carried shiny dresses with unmatched panache; If I found peace in nature and solitude, she preferred blaring music and lots of DJ dance; If I savoured plain idli and chutney, she gormandized on mysore masala dosa and spicy sambar. The two o...

Jo, you there?

Jo sat down on her table, the one beside the window. She could see her mother nourish the plants in the garden with water, just the way she had nurtured her daughters to be the women they are now. Grateful for the blessings, she turned to pen the thoughts welling up in her mind. Today, it was about ‘LOVE’ to her 50 year old self. ------ Dear oldie Jo, Hope you have your perfectly brewed coffee by your side! Love to you was an unknown notion-something that wasn’t much heard of during dinner table conversations or talked about in school or college. Like the rest, you did hear your pals and peers talk about it and experience it based on their instinct. While you understood the mindspace they came from, you didn’t feel the need to experiment. In the early years of adulthood, love seemed too superfluous to you. And in some proportions, you considered it as a distraction that would take you away from yourself and your family. Without judging others, you still felt very sure...
