Dialogues That Define Us: Life Through the Lens of Bollywood

 I'm not sure on what to write. I wanted to talk about something interesting today and that is movies and some good dialogues from movies. I love them. In fact, I enjoy learning from bollywood the most. So today I am going to tell you what I have learnt from Bollywood and it's beautiful. 

Life should be big not long. This is what it means, I really like this quote. It emphasizes the idea that life should be big as in big and bold. We want to grow through life, it's goodness and be bold in life. We want to take risks in life. We want to achieve our goals and live life fearlessly. I think that's the only way to live our lives and take risks. We can all have a life that's small. We can all have a life that's insignificant. But we want to live a life that's big in magnanimity. 

We often get caught up in the idea of living a long life, measuring our success in years, not in moments. But a long life means little if it’s filled with regrets, missed chances, and playing it safe. A big life, on the other hand, is full of meaning. It’s about depth, richness, experiences, risks, impact, and the courage to live fully.

A big life is when you love deeply, dream boldly, take chances, help others, and leave a legacy, not necessarily of fame or fortune, but of meaning. It’s choosing growth over comfort, contribution over consumption, and presence over mere survival.

You can live 30 years and leave the world changed, or live 90 years and never truly live a single day from the heart. So go ahead and make your life big. Fill it with love, truth, courage, art, laughter, kindness, mistakes, lessons, resilience, and purpose.

Because in the end, a big life, not just a long one, is the one worth remembering.

Kahin pe pahuchne ke lie kahin se nikalna bahut zaruri hota hai. Sahi waqt pe kat lena chahiye, nahi toh gile shiqwe hone lagte hain ! Haha so good. Sahi waqt pe kat lena chahiye, nahi toh gile shiqwe hone lagte hai. What this means is that for you to reach somewhere, you need to leave from some place. You should leave from some place at the right time otherwise you will feel gile shiqwe which means that you will feel that regret later in life. So go ahead and make a move and move forward from people that no longer serve you. You can truly choose to move forward from the one's that are not sticking around. Irrespective of the good or the bad days, you need to move forward. Think of it, when I came to US I had to leave India. When I want to move to the next girlfriend, I have to leave the previous one. Life is about risking it all and giving all that we have. If I have to reach the office, I have to leave my home. If I have to leave a company, I will join another. Now the question is why should we leave things behind and move forward in life? How can I help that in my own life?

Vaar karna hai toh samne waale ke goal par nahi, samne waale ke dimag par karo. Goal khud-ba-khud ho jaayega. What this means is that if you want to attack, don't attack the goal. Attack someone's mind and the goal will happen on itself. In any battle, whether it’s sports, business, negotiations, or even life, the real game is not played in the field, but in the mind. If you can shake someone’s confidence, confuse their strategy, or make them doubt themselves, you’ve already won half the battle. Their actions will become reactive, not intentional. They’ll be playing catch-up, while you’re dictating the pace.

It's the art of mental dominance, when your presence, energy, or calmness throws the other person off. You’re not just chasing the goal anymore. You’re controlling the environment in which the game is being played.

Think of the greats: MS Dhoni doesn’t sledge, but his calm rattles people. Muhammad Ali used words to enter his opponent’s head long before the fight. Steve Jobs made competitors feel inferior by his bold vision. These people didn’t just attack outcomes, they attacked minds.

When your opponent is mentally shaken, their skill drops, decisions falter, and pressure mounts. You don’t need to go after the goal, the path clears on its own. Because the biggest enemy is not outside, it’s doubt inside.

So if you really want to win, master the game of minds. Get into their head, not with aggression, but with precision. Let them fight themselves while you walk toward your goal with clarity and control.

Din aur raat logo ke hote honge. Sheron ka zamana hota hai. Hahah beautiful. Brilliant. Fantastic. I love this quote. What this means is that Day and Night is of people. However, tigers have an era. 

Ordinary people live by the clock, waking up, working, eating, sleeping. Their lives revolve around routine, din aur raat. But sher, the lion-hearted, don’t follow the clock,  they create eras. They don’t live in moments,  they create movements. They don’t just survive time,  they define it.

While the world waits for the right time, sher become the right time.

They walk with purpose, act with dominance, and speak with presence. Their actions echo beyond a day or night, they leave a mark so deep, it becomes history. They’re not just part of the timeline, they’re the headline.

Oh teri ! Guru bhai Guru bhai ! Jab log tumhare khilaaf bolne lage samajh lo tarakki kar rahe ho ! Looks so interesting. "When people start speaking against you, know that you're making progress."

This isn't just a catchy line, it's a truth bomb.

As long as you're doing nothing out of the ordinary, the world stays quiet. But the moment you start chasing your goals, thinking differently, stepping out of your comfort zone — people begin to notice. And when they notice, some will cheer for you, but others will try to pull you down.

That’s the clearest signal you’re heading in a meaningful direction.
Because if your journey wasn’t powerful, no one would care.

The world only throws stones at those who are building something. So, when people start talking behind your back or criticizing you, don’t be discouraged be proud. It means you've become relevant enough to provoke a reaction.

This is what Guru bhai means. Now when I think too deeply about this situation, I realise that Guru bhai whatever he is saying is right. For people to speak badly about you, you're about to do something. At least you should be relevant enough with the fact that you are doing something. Why would you say something bad to someone who's not important enough? In fact you would always say something bad to someone who's important enough to be considered. The best way to live life is ignorance. Ignorance truly is bliss. I really like that idea more than ever. If dogs bark, let them bark and you live your life. You just move ahead in your life like nothing ever happened. You never encountered dogs in your path. That will trigger them more than anything. 

Jo nahi ho sakta, wahi toh karna hai. I like this idea. What it means is that we want to do something that's not possible. If you think about it, when you really want to do something that's not possible what you want to do is the fact that you want to achieve the wildest goals and dreams. You want to do everything in your hand possible to live a beautiful and a delightful life. Namunkin cheezein karni hai and that's the essence of life. When you do things that are namunkin, which means that are impossible that's when you truly do the hardest of your work. I think that's what we mean out here. We want to do hard work, really hard work and live a life where we can achieve the impossible. Because the word impossible itself says I'm possible. We have had a lot of events in history where we have reached the idea of impossible. In fact, when we reach impossible states that's when we should be the most motivated to reach the goals and your desires in life. That's what we want to do in life. So go ahead and reach the impossible in life. Not because that's what you are, but because achieving that in life is the most important and it helps you discover your own potential. Now the question is how do we practically achieve the impossible? 

1. Set clear, bold goals: The first step is to define what seems impossible to you. What’s that big, audacious goal that excites you but also terrifies you? Start there. Don't be afraid to dream big.

2. Embrace the struggle: Know that achieving the impossible won’t be easy. There will be setbacks, failures, and moments of doubt. But it’s in these moments that your growth happens. When you push through, when you persist despite the odds, you discover strength you didn’t know you had.

3. Be Consistent: The impossible doesn’t happen overnight. It’s the small, consistent actions over time that accumulate and lead to breakthroughs. Every single day, keep working toward that goal. Even when you don’t feel like it, keep going.

4. Adapt and Learn: To do what’s never been done before, you’ll need to think differently. Be open to learning new skills, embracing new methods, and adapting your approach. The path to the impossible is often unclear, but persistence and a willingness to learn will light the way.

5. Surround Yourself with Belief: Sometimes, achieving the impossible is not about what you do but who you surround yourself with. Find people who believe in the impossible as much as you do. Their support, encouragement, and ideas will fuel your journey.

6. Focus on the Process, Not Just the Result: The journey to achieving the impossible is just as important as the outcome. By focusing on the process, you stay grounded in the present, continually growing and learning, rather than stressing over the final goal.

Achieving the impossible isn’t just about reaching a distant destination,it’s about becoming the person who’s capable of making the impossible possible. So go ahead, embrace the challenge, and pursue those dreams that others might think are out of reach. Because in doing so, you'll unlock the best version of yourself. That’s what life is about, constantly moving towards the impossible, knowing that it’s not about what’s impossible, but about what you can make possible.
