yeh hi hai right C.H.O.I.C.E baby !! aha!!

A sudden crave to watch tamil movies, its been so long since I watched one... talking about tamil movies also reminded me of superstar rajnikanth... so I ended up listening to some of his songs... well and this one song of his ... from the movie Padaiyappa...

"Thaiiya therndhu edakum, thandhaiyai therndhu edakum - Urimai unnidathil illai
Nirathai therndhu edakum, mugathai therndhu edakum - Urimai unnidathil illai
Pirapai therndhu edakum, irrapai therndhu edakum - Urimai unnidathil illai
Yenni parkum velayil undan vazhkai mattum undhan kaiyil undu, adhai vendru edu'

which roughly translates to -

We dont have the right to choose who our mother and father are going to be..
We dont have the right to choose our face and our race
We dont have the right to choose the time of our birth or the time of our death
But we do have the choice to live this life of ours the way we want, and to make a success story out of it....

How true......

But the choices that we all make in our life are -

Sometimes cos we are restricted by societal norms
Sometimes thats is the best thing to do cos everyone else thinks its the best thing to do
Sometimes cos we want to make another person happy
Sometimes cos you want to make your dear ones happy
Sometimes cos thats the only thing you know to do
Sometimes cos we dont have any other choice...
But how many times do we do things cos that will make us happy... ??

Whatever we choose to do....
Que Sera Sera ("Whatever Will be, Will be") ......
