DOLLAR DREAMS!!!!!
I watched it when I was in college and that was almost 8 years back. Young enough that I didnt even know or realize what it was all about.
Having watched this movie again, my perception of DOLLAR DREAMS has truly changed and how different it is when compared to the first time I watched it. So what has changed now and then????
- I realized what a parent would feel for his/her child.
- I realized how important it is to understand them and what they go through at this old age.
- I realized what they would need or expect from their own children.
- I realized that they are not my parents anymore, but they are my own children.
Now how I realized this all of a sudden. There wasnt any eye opening incident at once, but this was something I realized over a period of time. Now I believe I completely realized what I ought to realize.
I have had my chances of settling down on the land of dreams or it is so called. Only destiny didnt let me take that option and now I look back at that and completely understand why I have to call it destiny.
This is in no way an attempt to hurt the feelings of all the people around who are not with their parents. They choose their destiny and I did mine. This is purely an attempt to put down a few of my thoughts. Being a FATHER to a FATHER and a SON at the same time is not something every one can be capable of being or fortunate enough to be in this busy world.
Now any share of happiness wouldnt come without its share of troubles. Would it?? They both are like two sides of the coin and one will have to live with the both. How fortunate I am that I got someone in my life who supports me all along despite loosing her share of happiness. Even she has her own dreams about her parents too. Unfortunately our INDIAN SYSTEM of family life has defined its set of rules. I only wish to get over that one day and let her have to play her role of being a MOTHER to her parents.
We as children on whom GOD has bestowed HIS blessings in the form of parents are realizing what we are running away from???
Or we do realize it and still run away from it??
