INSPIRING MOVIE: BURNT (2015)

A very good movie. A must watch for all Bradley Cooper fans !!!



My Favourite Lines
Adam Jones: Now I am back. I am going after my third star.
-------------------
Tony: Listen, he really wants you back...Also I think he likes you.
Helene: So that was Adam liking someone.

Movie Details
Name and year: Burnt 2015
Director: John Wells
Producers: Stacey Sher, Erwin Stoff and John Wells
Screenplay: Steven Knight
Story: Michael Kalesniko
Country: USA

Movie Plot
Adam Jones (Bradley Cooper) is a chef who destroyed his career with drugs and diva behavior. He cleans up and returns to London, determined to redeem himself by spearheading a top restaurant that can gain three Michelin stars.

Personal Reflection
Adam Jones' quest to achieve three Michelin stars reminded me of an old saying by George Eliot...

"It is never too late to be what you might have been" 

The movie also highlights the importance of not getting carried away by success and fame. Each one of us makes mistakes and Adam Jones is no exception. He falls prey to drugs and ends up losing everything(specifically his career and friends) in Paris. The movies portrays his struggle to rise up again and his journey to achieve three Michelin stars in London. 

Suggestion: If you believe in second chances, you will enjoy watching Burnt. But, don't try and watch it on an empty stomach !!!

INSPIRING SONG - FIGHT SONG BY RACHEL PLATTEN


              A very powerful and inspiring song.


Quote
"'Fight Song' was inspired by a lot of experiences that were hurting me and that were making me feel like maybe I didn’t have a chance in this industry. I wrote it because I needed to remind myself that I believed in myself. No matter what, I still was gonna make music, even if it was on a small scale. Even if it was just for me." --Rachel Platten

Song Details
Song Name: Fight Song
Singer: Rachel Ashley Platten
Writers: Rachel Ashley Platten and Dave Richard Bassett
Album: Wildfire
Label: Columbia Records
Producer: Jon Levine

Song Lyrics
Like a small boat
On the ocean
Sending big waves Into motion
Like how a single word
Can make a heart open
I might only have one match
But I can make an explosion

And all those things I didn't say
Wrecking balls inside my brain
I will scream them loud tonight
Can you hear my voice this time

This is my fight song
Take back my life song
Prove I'm alright song
My power's turned on
(Starting right now) I'll be strong
I'll play my fight song
And I don't really care if nobody else believes
'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

Losing friends and I'm chasing sleep
Everybody's worried about me
In too deep
Say I'm in too deep (I'm in too deep)
And it's been two years
I miss my home
There's a fire burning in my bones
I still believe
Yeah I still believe

And all those ... fight left in me

Like a small ... make an explosion

This is my fight song ... fight left in me

Now I've still got a lot of fight left in me.


Personal Reflection
All of us have dreams but only a few among us show the courage and will to go after their dreams. Why is it that only a few among us are able to steer through storms and failures to achieve their dreams? Do they have some kind of special powers? No. They don't have any kind of special powers. They are able to achieve their dreams because of their commitment to their dreams. Always remember Never Ever Give Up On Your Dreams.

ARE YOU READY FOR COLLEGE ?

The transition from high school to college can be a scary process. But with clear thinking and proper planning it can turn out to be an exciting adventure. It is an important phase in your life as a student that gives you an opportunity to discover your own self and your destiny. The efforts and choices you make during this transition and beyond will help build your ever glowing future.


As a recent college graduate I would suggest the following things to consider before taking this daring plunge into a sea full of opportunities.

1. Go for your passion.
Select a course or subject that you like or enjoy tackling, no matter how challenging or odd it may seem. Go for arts if you like arts; go for aeronautical engineering if you like rocket science. Having your passion as your driving force will help you overcome every challenge you face along the way.

2. Select a good college.
Think thrice before selecting a college to pursue your degree. Research, both on-line and off-line, shortlist and select a college that best fits your passion and career expectations.

3. Participate, learn and grow.
Never miss an opportunity to participate in competitions. Make mistakes and learn from your mistakes. Participate in workshops and seminars related to your field of study. Participate in cultural and sports activities to keep your spirits pumped up.

4. Utilize your summer and winter breaks.
Breaks are fun as well as a potential source for self improvement and development. Enroll in on-line courses (MOOCs) and gain work experience through internships. It will give you an opportunity to learn new skills while having fun at the same time.

5. Everybody is special.
Always remember each one of us is unique and special in some way or the other. Let go of the fear of failure or acceptance. Our planet is known for its diversity. Try and be who you are. Every weirdo, every geek, every introvert, every extrovert is equally important and special. Be true to your own self.

6. Enjoy learning and Never Ever Give Up.
Knowledge is valuable and powerful. Lessons learned and knowledge gained during college days will help shape your future. No matter how hard the journey may seem never give up on your dreams and ambitions.

Plan well, let go of the fear, be unique, explore, discover and shine on.
