she's in my dreams errr..desktop :)

"When you look in her eyes, and she is looking back in yours, everything feels not quite normal, because you feel stronger, and weaker at the same time. You feel excited and at the same time, terrified. The truth is you don't know what you feel, except you know what kind of man you wanna be. It's as if you've reached the unreachable, and you weren't ready for it.."
- Peter to MJ in Spiderman 1

This excatly what came to my mind when I saw this photo of Nicole. I spent no time and she is on my Desktop :) (you can click on the image and can see a bigger picture)

And when I was listening this very melodious song, I was wondering how well suited it was. Sonu Nigam is superb, music direction and lyrics too, are great. If you have not listened to this song, you should. It is available streaming here, or beg/borrow/steal Gayab's songs and listen. You will thank me for letting you know the beautiful song.

तनहा....

दिल की ज़मीनपे इक हसीन चेहरा
सांसोके पास है ज़िंदगी के जैसा
दिल की ज़मीनपे इक हसीन चेहरा
सांसोके पास है ज़िंदगी के जैसा
आखोंके तले दियासा जले
अकेले गुजारा किया जाए ना
तनहा, अब ना रहा जाए, तनहा
तनहा, अब ना रहा जाए, तनहा

उजली सी रातोंमे बातोंकी खुशबू होगी
गाएगी फिर सारी खामोशियां
झिलमिलसी रिमझिमसी चुपकेसे तू आएगी
मिट जाएंगी इक दिन ये दुरियां
जीना है सझा अब तेरे सिवा
अकेले गुजारा किया जाए ना
तनहा, अब ना रहा जाए, तनहा
तनहा, अब ना रहा जाए, तनहा

आंखो ही आंखोसे देखा है छू कर तुमको
रेशम से भी ज्यादा नर्म हो तुम
बूंदोके जैसे तुम इस दिल पे बरसी हो तुम
होटोंपे आयी जो प्यास हो तुम
सीने से लगे और तू भी कहे
अकेले गुजारा किया जाए ना
तनहा, अब ना रहा जाए, तनहा
तनहा, अब ना रहा जाए, तनहा

Not everyone is meant to make the difference

yeah... I know, after "oslo experience part 1" there is supposed to be "oslo experience part 2" and further sequels. But taking advantage of the infinite liberty and privilege I have given myself, I have decided to insert this snippet here. Please don't mind!

okay so I was thinking about some inspirational quotes from the movies. Then was thinking about Spiderman 1 and 2. The films based on the fictitious character Peter Parker who, apart from his normal life as a physics student and a part time photographer, has to play another, a more important role as "The Spiderman". The movies were really exciting and I was moved and inspired after watching them. I saw them again and again. As it always happens, if I like something, I become kind of obsessed with that and it leaves a deep and lasting impression on my philosophy, behavior and the way I think. More recently it happened with the movies "Spiderman 1 & 2"

What is so appealing about the characters and the story?

first, unlike any other superhero, spiderman has not come from the planets/galaxies far away. He's just a normal person. Like anyone of us. The uprising from a ordinary man to a courageous, self-sacrificing person, to "a hero" is what appeals me most.

second, it's not just about stunts, climbing walls, flying around or fighting bad guys. No doubt these things are present and appreciated by many (or most) of the viewers, but what is more significant is the internal psychological or mental fight between Peter Parker and Spiderman, the fight between the way they are supposed to think, the fight between their *wishes* and *interests*.


there are many more aspects of it I would like to write about. May be in the subsequent posts.

Another and more important reason for my special interest in the Spiderman is (the text is removed from here for some unexplainable reasons)

Not everyone is meant to make a difference. But for me, the choice to lead an ordinary life is no longer an option
