Some days ago when I watched the movie again, basically just for fun and the fact that I have been really nostalgic off-late after coming back from India where I had a fantabulous time with some of my friends and loved ones, ‘bang’ came the words again and its been 2 weeks since that day and there are still ringing back and forth in my mind, conscious, sub-conscious and unconscious. Watching the movie did solve the purpose I just mentioned, but it did much more than that. The words now make sense to me, or to be logically correct, they don’t make any sense at all.
To give you guys some background, I am 23 now, on the verge of completion a Master’s in Computer Engineering shit, which implies I am going through the not-so-envious phases of one’s college life: Job-Hunting, although to me it seems more like Job-Begging. So, coming back to the words, and why they make no sense. According to me let alone “who the hell”, the most important people who care where we land up are we ourselves. And then there are other people who matter a lot in your life like your parents, brother / sister, rest of the family, friends who in my case are there sitting thousands of miles away, who care about me, who have worked, loved, taught, spent so much for the sole reason, that I land up somewhere nice and have a great life. The selflessness of their purpose kills the statement. Sorry Aamir Khan, or whosoever wrote the dialogues.
However, out of all this, the most important thing is for one to know and decide where on earth, and not hell, he wants to land up, an issue which has marred the purpose of so many lives. People not being sure what to do in their lives, is the biggest problem affecting literate people on earth. In my case, I am pretty sure what I want to do, but I am not sure if this is the way I want to do it or not. Somebody had once said, “The whole world is moving towards just two divisions, Employees and Employers, the faster you move towards the latter one, the better it is”. This is something I believe in. I am not so sure of the fact if I’ll be able to be an employee, i.e. work for somebody for the rest of my life. So, that is the uncertainty as far as I am concerned. But, for starters, I am ready to do a ‘Job’, assuming that being just 23 and God had granted a decently enough long life to me, I have a lot of time on my hands to things I really want to do in my life and thus leave the fewest possible stones unturned. ‘Things I really want to do in my life’ rings many bells in my mind and something tells me my next blog may be just that.
Coming back, at this time, en-route my flight to Boston, for yet another interview, Dil Chahta Hai, again comes back to my mind and reminds of the words just before “Who the hell cares where we land up”, “Naukri milne ke 100 tarike (100 ways to get a job)”. I think now that if Aamir Khan would’ve seriously sung that song, would it have been any easier for me to get a job?? And then I wonder, that may be he, or for that matter nobody, knows the formula to that, and hence he never actually sang that song.
