LET'S GO CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Recently , I was watching a Hollywood film - "Ramona and Beezus" and it sure became one of my all-time favourites.One of the star attraction of the film was the famous pop-star Selena Gomez , who hit jackpot with her album "Stars Dance".But even though Selena charms us all with her looks and attitude , for me the star attraction was the kid who played the role of Ramona - Joey King.

I'm one among those who read the book before seeing the film. And  for me the bookish version is always better - be it Harry Potter , Hunger Games , Jane Eyre , Little Women , Anne of the Green Gables , the newly released Divergent and The Fault in Our Stars (Thanks to the e-world) and yes , even the utmost cheesy and sickening Twilight Series.But about this film , I'm not so sure about the book.It was nice , of course , but Ramona in the silver-screen seemed more interesting.

She clearly does not give a damn about how the society perceive her.She go for he dreams-however stupid , childish or "terrifical" it seems.She does it all without a slightest care about the world.Her sister Beezus put it this way , "Ramona does not care about painting outside the picture".

The problem with us , "the serious lot" is that we care too much about how others see us.( Yes , this lot includes me too......:)) . We try to be someone else for the sake of others.All our uniqueness gets lost in the process, But even after all this the question remains , "Was it all worth?????."

One of my close friends (let's call her SA) is like the miniature version of Ramona. She is the biggest basketball freak I have ever seen in my life.When the rest of us goes left , she goes right. She loved watching all the reality shows and soaps even tests were scheduled on the next day. She jokes and prance about like a girl of 6 .She really did not care what others thought about her. It seemed as if she saw the world with her very own eyes. She never clouded it for anyone else.

Take my instance as an example. When I was little I used to dance like crazy even when a silly tune was played.All my grown up cousins would look at me like I had gone completely nuts. But , I was like -"think what you want , I just don't care".But when two weeks ago" Balam Pichkari" was blaring from the speakers I watched my little sister prancing to the song dumbfounded. I was totally amused. I realised with a jolt that I used to be that girl just a few years back. But when did she fade away?? All these passing years , I had to leave my innocence and childish "stuff" in the long thorny path of my life.I did a vague attempt to regain it all back when that feeling of something being lost began to sink in.I tried to prance around with my sis but I was shooed down. Everyone howled with laughter when I told them about my crazy theory. They all told the same thing , "Grow up , Girl!!!!"........


And what more do you expect? All the daily constant remainders from my teachers ( you are not a kid anymore!!) , relatives (Grow up!) , friends (For a while , let's be serious..) forced me to become the "MISS-SERIOUS ONE" (Is it okay to smile???...Sit like this?....what would others think??!!!). I would say it was very cowardly of myself. I was rather afraid of what others thought about me. I thought it would be the best if I remained "normal" what others thought to be "normal". But it was Ramona and Miss. S who succeeded in convincing me the other way. They both taught me that it is okay to be yourself , no matter how different you are from others. Each one of us should have our own version of seeing things and that's what makes each one us unique.


It's okay to be a total stupid and idiot or different rather than being a mechanized instrument. After all , as they say....



YOU JUST HAVE TO BE YOURSELF. LIVE LIFE IN YOUR WAY. AFTER ALL WHO CARES OR GIVE A DAMN ABOUT WHAT OTHERS THINK ABOUT US , RIGHT???.......:) ;)
