So, after watching the latest Bollywood awards, I was all infused again with the Barfi fever, and so decided, while I was on a roll, to watch the Making of Barfi. Aside from the hilarious affectations of the adorable Ranbir, there were a few lines which caused my mental writing head to raise a few times. One in particular is why I'm writing right now, although, as always when I write without fully thinking through the thought, I don't know where this insight is going to lead.
Priyanka Chopra, aka Jhilmil, says during the Making of Barfi, that the movie is about two people who have nothing in life, and that's how it... blah blah (I forgot the words verbatim here that came before what I do remember) blah comes down to...
"To be happy in life, you don't need anything...just a good heart and a sense of humour."
Now, you can tell right there why and how this totally appealed to me. Those two things are like my own personal foundation to everything I believe in.
itti si hansi..itti si khushi..itta sa tukda chand ka..khwab ke tinkon se..chal banayen aashiyaan..
