I just watched one of the most beautiful movies I've seen in awhile. It hit me especially hard considering I've had alot of change in my life recently. The movie is about a couple from India who have two children after they move to America. The film shows not only the importance of remembering the core beginnings of your family and personalizing with that.... but also, the fact of life that nothing ever stays the same. Sometimes things change in a bad way, but we always have a new bright future with every turn we take. I take this into mind as I journey through mine. Life is in the journey, not the destination. We will never be satisfied until we learn to have joy with each passing day, even the days that seem sadly different. Life can be wonderful and exciting even in the most meloncholy, boring stages. Let us not take advantage of one moment, or they will pass us by far too quickly. Live without borders, with the eyes and heart open, and with the hands reached out to the sky. We are formed by our past and our present, not by our future. Breathe Deeply.
O yea, The movie has a great love story. I realllly want to read the book now!

I loved the movie. Very well done. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, though I did feel that it took awhile to really get going. I'd picked it up and put it down several times, and I read the entire thing on my plane ride to LA. It was pretty much awesome. The author also has a collection of short stories called the Interpreter of Maladies. They're mostly sad stories, but they also kind of open your eyes about life and living and ahh so much. I'd say I liked it and took more from it than the Namesake.
