Life Lesson

I loved this film when I saw it years ago because I was a chubby 13 yr old with specs and long pigtails; it gave me hope that someone could fall in love with me for myself and not only what I looked like.

I was a case of the "Ugly Duckling" and actually grew into modelling and fashion in my later teens. However, the message that I could be loved for ME indside stayed with me and I was able to easily spot the men who only loved the me they could see.

Happily, I met someone who loves me for who I really am and he was worth the wait.

Yea like I have this friend, GREAT personality and a very beautiful child but her thumbs are like kinda short and a little fat. Everyone makes fun of her for that. Even her best friend. She always tell them to shut up but sometimes it doesn't work. I feel bad for her though. But some people dont see it. But there are lots of boys who like her so I'm happy about that. She is such a nice person I'm glad now she is working on her career.

I have seen this movie back in... 1988/89 I think.. not sure though.. but I remember it being very very nice. Over the years, watching more and more indian/bollywood movies, I kept thinking of the movie, and was angry cus I couldn't remember the name.. all I could remember was bits of the song about krishna asking why is he black when Radha was white. tonight i just googled "burned Rupa" and found it... now I just can't stop listening to the main theme of the movie, satyam shivam sundaram on youtube.

It is indeed a case of ugly duckling turning into a beautiful swan in the end. i guess it shows the shallowness in which we find ourselves sometimes and, movie like this tell us that WE HURT people even without really knowing it.

GREAT MOVIE!!!
