Rancholization -- Process of Living Lives

The talk of the town is 3 Idiots. How on earth can an idiotic film amass such revenues that such a big Bollywood archive of films were unable to reach.

Rancchoddas "Rancho" Shyamaldas Chanchad, the engineer who happens to live life simple before it even thinks to make it complex. His thinking was straightforward : to enjoy the moment. If you just happen to listen to this song carefully --- the "Behtee Hawa Sa Tha Woh" one, one could easily relate to the breeze in the song. If you really want to enjoy the song to the fullest and make your brains do some arithmetic and geometric calculations then in the song, wherever we have "Woh", replace the word with the picturization of ourselves (still on the laps of our Dad and Mom). Think as to how we used to marvel at the small things that used to slide in front of our eyes and how we used to feel the real meaning of "E-N-J-O-Y".

The one other USP about this Rancho was his way of making heart a fool by always making it understand, despite the dire situations inherent, that "ALL IZZ WELL". That, in turn, does makes things work less direly than expected. It was a very good gesture followed or in fact, to-be-followed to make things seem less complexualized.

A worth watch if we can capitalize on what Phunsukh Wangdu wants to convey to us.

Good post rajiv.Fanstastic movie that so beautifully narrates the story of how one "idiot" had changed the lives around him with his thoughts and life. Life will be worth living if as shown in the movie we all celebrate today instead of losing our sleep over whats going to happen tomorrow...pursuing excellence, instead of chasing success, we understand instead of mugging what we learn...and most importantly when we are down and out ...and "jab life ho out of control, toh hoton ko karke gol, citi bajake bol ALL IZZ WELL" :-)
