Wonder

How many number of times a day do we look ourselves in the mirror??
And most of every such time we are posing just one question "Do I look alright??" expecting a confirmation from the reflection part of us that  "You look perfect" or "You look pretty alright" or "Not bad"
We have been doing this day in and day out so much that its almost like an unnoticeable self centered routine part of us, among others things

This evening I watched the trailer of a movie called "Wonder", which revolved around a kid called Auggie having a disfigured face due to multiple surgeries

The trailer was indeed moving
After watching the trailer I was forced to think as to "How many times do people having a disfigured face or people having marks on their faces look themselves in the mirror??
If they do even once a day or a week, do they expect a confirmation from the mirror as to how they look??
I'm not really sure, what reality is....

But I'm pretty much sure of one thing
For them we (people with normal faces) are the mirrors
And our reactions to them is the reflection in which they find the answers
Which reminds me of a quote from the movie because I just finished watching this movie a few hours back along with my buddy

Quotes from the movie
"When given the choice between being right or being kind, choose kind"

"Be kinder than necessary because it's not enough to be kind. One should be kinder than needed"

A fantastic quote which I missed while watching the movie
"Courage. Kindness, Friendship. Character. These are the qualities that define us as human beings and propel us, on occasion, to greatness"

The things that I liked about the movie:
1. It's filled with some great take away quotes
2. After being pushed around and hurt, Auggie ends up making friends and there's this song on friendship thats playing in the background while Auggie is having tears
3. Auggie in humorous mode, where he brags about his good look( I loved all the parts where humor was conveyed through his character)

To end with I would say the greatest endeavour of our existence is as simple as being human and treat everyone, as you would like to be treated by others.

Few Years Later

This is few years after parting away Im seeing her again Standing across a distance accompanied by a stranger Putting on a beautiful smile I have wilfully dreamt of this dreadful moment for many a times Dreadful because of the varied outcome it entails One of the most dreadful outcome was in answering to myself, Will she recognise me??If not Such lack of recognition would define what I meant to her It would exactly mean what a crowd of people walking under the bridge mean to a  person standing over the bridge for a smoke As no crowd ever had any face, All they have is a very visible unidentified presence More importantly it says a smoker just doesn't give a damn It would be more than any human indignation possible, as it also reaffirms that you are not remembered Which would prove that my favourite song "you are not alone" by MJ which use to bring some respite at one among many moments of despair,  was not for me My heart started gathering pace with beati...

a journey to a spotless mind

"Congratulations, it's a Baby Girl", the doctor says, as he hands over the new born baby girl to her mother while the nurse straps the umbilical cord. Chapter 1: Dream Dreams are, in fact, manifestations of reality, it is the amount of mutation that reality undergoes in our mind that makes it appear far-fetched. It is an unusual dream, he thought. Asleep. Dreaming. Conscious. Like a fly on the wall, he was quietly experiencing and sneaking on his own dream. He was mind boggled by the visuals that his dream had to offer. The visuals were unlike anything that he would possibly experience in waking life.  The sky up above was deep bluish dark with a million stars twinkling, there was no sight of the moon. But the thing that he was boggled by, was the surreal fact that, even though the sky called it night, his surroundings were brightly lit as day. At a closer look he saw millions-and-millions of rainbow’ish molecular self-lit tiny bubbles floating in the surrounding and ligh...
