Life Is Bollywood.

Are you a Bollywood fan? Are you die hard fan of Dil Chahta Hai ? Do you watch Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham multiple times because of Poo? Did you watch Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara with all your friends promising that we'll at least go to Goa like that?

Well, I love Bollywood. Like Love. It's my heart. I watch one film multiple times. I listen to the same songs on repeat. I mimic the characters. Everything. And hence, I am a drama queen. I like drama. I like doing drama. I like listening to drama. I like making drama. Drama. ( I don't like being a part of drama by the way).

I like Bollywood romantic- comedies and love triangle movies, and anything which has a lot of jokes, crying and drama. I wish I could have a life like that. You know very "filmy" involved with a lot of confusion and a happy-happy ending.
And guess what God heard me!!
Yes, now I have a story. If I gave this script to Karan Johar he'd definitely make a movie (KJo take the script, don't cast me, I suck at acting) 


I was never mentally ready to accept that my life will literally end up being a mess with Bollywood components. I mean. Wow. 

This thought doesn't have any lesson or learning with it. It's a realization. And if I compare this to my other realizations. I also realize that this is one of my most early realizations. I am mostly confused. But I was very clear that I wanted a story to tell everybody. All I need is a stage, a mic, an audience and my story.

No,my story will not start LIKE: you know what,I had nothing then I worked so hard and today I stand here and so I learn that blah blah blah:;because hey I won't read out a self-help book or autobiography there. I'll say my story. 

Something which will make people think about the line between stupidity and bravery, dumbness and weirdness, living and breathing, working and hustling, because somewhere there my life starts and I don't know when it'll end, I don't wanna think about it.Live the damn moment. 

My story will may sound like any other boring lecture in the start because in the beginning everybody's lives are just mostly common and boring, but trust me it will  never be like that in the middle and in the end because by then I'll have another path, another mind set, another life. Which'll be fun.

My dream is to hear the applause while looking at tears in people's eyes. Because my story will be moving, insane, crazy, funny, out-of-the-box, dramatic and with a happy ending.



Returning to the my realization that my life recently is like any other Bollywood movie, as a 10-year old kid the idea  of starring in a movie, earn the fame, big houses, and look so pretty seemed to be mesmerizing. You know as a kid, I wanted to grow up really fast, get a movie, sign the contract, shoot and earn fame (which was so stupid of 10 year old Saniya), now I don't want a movie because of the following reasons:

I suck at acting,
Karan Johar will never launch me,
I have a life no less than a Bollywood movie, believe me.

I just wrote poetry: get it together
