Are You A Superhero?

Ever wondered what it was like to be a super hero? To be actually in a state of possession of those mystical powers that gave you an extra edge over the others - to be in the state of art to do almost anything insanely possible? Well, I don't want to sound too cliche', but provided the kind of movies coming out this summer, one is bound to think this way!

I was lucky enough (or you could say idle enough) to be able to watch two cool flicks back to back this Monday. First stop was Hancock, a tale about a drunkard superhero, who finds love in the most unusual of ways, and then is forced to leave it behind - for good! What I liked about Hancock was the fact that he was an unlikely hero, but still cared enough to save the day, even if it meant damaging the property worth million of dollars, and all the thankless people hating him. But he didn't care enough, because all he had to do was save the day - and he did! And when its Will Smith playing Hancock, you better expect something really good....

                 

Next stop was Kung Fu Panda, a heroic tale of a dumb, but funny Panda, who learns the art of Kung Fu, and defeats the enemy. Po, the panda, could be the most unlikely hero, who would step into the picture and save the day, for he only dreamt of it, but never could actually implement it - He couldn't see his own toes, for crying out loud, let alone hitting some one with them. But He did, and he did well!

What I most liked about the movie was the fact that it dealt its cards really well. I mean, you don't go to a movie thinking what message is it gonna pass out....but if you do get the message, and the message is beautiful, all you do is applaud!  Kung Fu Panda told me in my face to "Just Believe". You see, the secret ingredient in the secret ingredient noodle soup is that there is no secret ingredient at all. Anything you believe in becomes special by itself, and there is no need for the secret ingredient anymore. Pretty amazing, considering the fact that it all came out of a fat Panda. :P

There was another thing that took me back while watching the movie, in a good way that is. A turtle named Master Ugway said something remarkable, which I thought was simply awesome, given the price I paid for the tickets! He said, "Yesterday is history, and tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, and that is why it is called Present".

So, I came home pondering over what a beautiful day I had, and when I looked at it, my day was good because I believed it to be good. There isn't anything we can't do, and the methodology for doing any task is the same, and simple too....All you need to do is to just believe that you can do it, and then do it. The secret ingredient will automatically stir up your task, and your life - and you will become your very own SuperHero!

So, where are you gonna fly today, eh?
