This afternoon was just as boring as any other, and for lack of anything better to do, I decided to watch a movie while having lunch. I looked through my movies folder and was contemplating which movie to watch. I had seen most of them over 10 times , but there was one movie which I had completely ignored, on purpose.
I had seen it once many many years ago and even at that young age I felt this movie was special. I had never had the time to watch it again. And so I decided that this afternoon , almost 10 years after I had seen the movie, was the right one after all…
~ FORREST GUMP ~
There’s just something about the movie, that grows on you… I don’t know what it was… Its not very romantic, its not very funny, its not very sensitive… But there that honesty which strikes you right at your GUT.. Its amazing how this guy with a BELOW average IQ, goes on to live this extraordinary life…
When I finished watching the movie I had this BIG lump in my throat… I mean, what do we not have in life. I have a decent IQ, I landed my first job, I do reasonably well in class… but amidst all this, we have all lost the ability to think simple and appreciate life … The unassuming nature of FORREST is unnerving…
Maybe having a high IQ is after all not a measure of smartness…
Maybe not being ‘SMART’ is not such a bad thing after all…
Life becomes so much easier when you believe no one is out there to get you…
When you have nothing to prove…
No expectation of reward or acclaim…
Just do what is right…
And what the voice of your heart, which was long silenced by your various aspirations, tells you to do…
Maybe I’d rather NOT be SMART after all…

maybe you dont have to wish not to be smart ..
maybe you should just follow your heart and not your mind, all the time ..
Take time off .. do what you want ..
coz in the end, you will never regret the moments you didnt spend working, but those you wanted to make you happy ..
heyy .. thats exactly what i thot after watching the movie !!
everyone is unique in his own way.. that guy lacked intelligence.. yet proved to be better than the other SANE people... !!
do what u r good at... and dnt give a damn to what others say.. there's a nice marathi song..
"me tharvavi disha vahtya panyachi,
yeil tya latevar jane naa manjur"
there's no such thing as smart... some people are good at one thing, some others are good at something else...
