Evan Almighty

Was watching 'Evan Almighty' today (yes, the sequel to Bruce Almighty). I knew it won't match Bruce Almighty because Jim Carey doesn't feature in this one - but I was left impressed to a certain extent. 

The motto of the film: to change the world, you need to do just one act of random kindness at a time.

The method used in the film: an analogy with how Noah changed the world with his one act of random kindness ... which abbreviates to ARK. Hence, the Noah's Ark.

I liked some thoughts conveyed through this film. For example, when we pray to God for something, we won't get it. What we would get, though, is an opportunity to discover that one thing we so wish for.

Wish for courage, and you will get the opportunity to display some. Wish for a loving family, and you and your family will get an opportunity to discover that love. Come to think of it, how many times have we regretted on not making the most of our family time. I, for one, have regretted it tremendously at times!

Watch out for the next time you get an opportunity to make anyone smile. Actually, forget that anyone else ... look out for the chance to smile yourself! As Ashish normally says - the only one you can really make happy is - you. I feel making yourself happy is a necessary, and sometimes a sufficient, condition to make people around you happy.

Yenyway. So much for the film and the related senti. Was out for 5 days for a couple of weddings (if you don't have anyone in your social locus who got married on either one of the days from 21-25th of November, you are awfully mal-socialized). Interesting observatory-posts to follow.

God: So what did you do today?

Bruce: Answered everyone's prayers. Gave them all what they wanted!

God: And since when do people know what they really want?
