Live it Up!!!

" Live life every day to it’s fullest, and keep breathing to see what arrives tomorrow on your doorstep "
-This is the message I got after watching my all time fav movie CAST AWAY. What I thought was a boring Friday evening with no plans din't afterall turn out to be so much boring..I made my dinner and sat down to watch some movie and to my luck, they were playing Cast Away today and there u go, my evening was fixed : a quiet dinner followed by a movie, a bit of blogging and an amazing night hearing to soft music along with a bit of reading and last but not least, a sound sleep.

Since Chuck(Tom Hanks's character in the movie) is one of the characters that I admire a lot, I thought I would dedicate today's blog for Chuck and Wilson. Now, for those who are wondering who Wilson is, I would get back to him in a minute. Let me tell what I like about Chuck. The character of Chuck can be divided into 3 parts: Chuck, in his normal life as FedEx employee, Chuck on the island, and Chuck returning home safe and sound. The first and the third are so common to everyone of us. But the second one, which is to survive in a deserted island for four or more years is something we don't get to see everyday or get to do frequently. I think this is the best part of the movie. Long story cut short, Chuck is a manager in FEDEX who delivers packages and is in charge of the company. On one such mail delivery made by plane, a storm hits and makes the plane crash, killing the pilots, and Chuck's friends, leaving him as the only survivor. He is somehow able to escape the crash into the ocean and swims to an island that is uninhabited. He is left all alone in the world on this island, with no electric devices no communication with the outside world, and nobody to talk to. The heart of the movie centers around this one man's plight aboard this deserted island and how he is able to survive for many years there. He is able to keep track of time through a system of markings and uses parts of the plane that have been washed up onto the island to survive. He buries the body of his fallen friend and pilot that has been washed up onto the island and mourns his death.

Interestingly there are three things I have experienced that Chuck has showcased in the movie. Firstly, being intense at work. Secondly, tenacity when presented with an unanticipated situation where I’m required to make the toughest decision. Last but not least, being self-reliant. I have always been proud to have the ability to grab my own life’s wheel and steer through it if not like Chuck during his 4 years away from humanity.

The other important character in this movie is Wilson, a volleyball named after its manufacturer. Chuck finds this in a package washed away from the crash. It serves as his only companion during the four years. When Chuck tries to make a fire, he cuts his hand and angrily palms the volleyball and throws it. This leaves a hand-shaped blood mark on the ball. He then bandages his hands and wipes away some of the blood, making the volleyball's "face". Though initially Chucks sees it as a ball, in due course he begins to see Wilson as an actual being, and not an inanimate object. He gets so close to Wilson that there is one scene in the movie, which anyone would get moved watching. It is the scene where Chuck loses Wilson after the volleyball washes off his raft and drifts too far out to sea for Chuck to be able to retrieve it. Chuck cries a lot after failing to save Wilson and throws away his oars, seemingly losing the will to live after losing his friend. A wonderful scene indeed!!!

Every day is so precious to live and enjoy. I have learnt it through experiences plus my dear friends remind me this every time I ever forgot..To end I can just think of a quote SRK made in one of his movie..Enjoy ur life! U never know if there is a tomorrow.

Aaj...

Aaj Ek Hasi Aur Bant Lo..
Aaj Ek Dua Aur Mang Lo..
Aaj Ek Aansoon Aur Pee Lo..
Aaj Ek Zindigi Aur Jee Lo..
Aaj Ek Sapna Aur Dekh Lo...

Aaj....
