CLICK !!

I am pretty sure, a lot of us, at some point in life, have wondered. What if life has a rewind button? Wish I could go back on time and replay all the good parts. Meet the people, who meant so much to us at one point. Relive all the good times.

Channel surfing, I came upon this movie last night. It was called “CLICK”. Adam Sandler was always one of my favorites. It is not what we would call a great, thought provoking movie. Just an entertainer. But it was fun to watch. Christopher Walken ends up giving Sandler a remote control to his life. The remote control allows him to fast forward the unwanted (or so he considers) parts of his life. Rewind and see the parts he wants to see. At one point, the remote control which learns by experience automatically starts fast forwarding the parts he considered unwanted. He skips to fights, romantic encounters with his wife, promotions. Sometimes, he skips 6 years at one stretch. Finally he wakes up and finds it a dream. But he realizes that he has been given his life back and decides to live it the way he wants and not immerse himself in other things.


The movie was fun to watch and also set me thinking in the same direction. What has happened has happened. You don’t want to go and relive it again, as much as you think about it. When you were there, you probably hated being there. So just let life take you the way you want and learn to live everyday for the now.


Cheers !

Something I read that has come to mean a lot to me when I look back and connect the dots now.  Trying. It has been my life’s lesson....
