After three long years, I was able to watch a movie without any interruption which in turn allowed me to love some of the lines from the movie Eat , pray and love. These are some of my favorite lines (in Italics) from the book/movie .
"Having a baby is like getting a tattoo on your face. You really need to be certain it's what you want before you commit" => So True : )
“The sweetness…of doing nothing.” I am missing that phase of my life dearly after having a baby.
“Morning you pray and evening you enjoy”. I believe in god but too much god or too little of god/No God makes people opinionated, edgy and sarcastic.
“God dwells within you, as you.” - This is my view of god since childhood. I try my best to keep my heart and soul pure so I can keep the god within me. "Om Namah Shivaya, meaning, I honor the divinity that resides within me."
“If you clear out all of that space in mind you would have a door way” - Well said. "Zen masters say you cannot see your reflection in running water, only in still water." When too many thought run thru our mind we tend to lose focus. All we need is purge those unwanted thoughts to bring focus in our life. My daily prayers (conversation with god) helps me to gain that focus in my life.
“Sometimes to lose balance for love is to keep balance in life “. This has been true in every phase of life. As child my family lost balance as one unit. My mom was in the hospital for almost two long years. Living without your mother everyday made me to appreciate the gift of life and a deeper understanding of things happening around me. I have little or no respect for people trying to take their god given precious life for their own selfish reasons.
"Happiness is the consequence of personal effort. You fight for it, strive for it, insist upon it, and sometimes even travel around the world looking for it" – My addition to the quote “Most of times you will find it right next you “ so make people appreciate , long and value your company. I tend to shy away from people who are unhappy and cynical about life.
"You were given life; it is your duty (and also your entitlement as a human being) to find something beautiful within life, no matter how slight." Everybody lives to see their dreams come true someday in life- like getting a getting into good college, a dream job, good husband, baby, career or just living with your family close to you. When that dream changes its course it brings sadness in our life. If we try to alter/update our dreams with our current life we will bring happiness back into our life.
This book was a huge hit because every one of us can relate to her story or experiences in someway or the other.
I would highly recommend watching this movie. It will be more fun if you are fortunate enough to watch it with bunch of your girl friends. I missed my younger sister more when I watched this movie.
