The movie begins with little boy (Jack) telling us how he came into the possession of his mother..
He wakes up and greets every piece of furniture in Room as for Jack everything has a personality and a proper name..

Jack: Good Morning Lamp..
         Good Morning plant..
         Good Morning rug..
         Good Morning wardrobe..
         Good Morning sink..

Jack is excited as it's his fifth birthday..!

Ma: Hey do you know what we are gonna do today?
Jack: What?
Ma: We are going to bake a birthday cake..
Jack: A birthday cake?
Ma: Mmhmm..
Jack: like from T.V?
Ma: hmm, but for real..
Jack: no way!

Yes.., for Jack 'Room' is his entire world.. Everything he knows and loves is right there.

So, when Ma decides that it's time for Jack to escape out and tells him the truth about the outside world , he fights it.. he does not believe that there is a world outside..

Ma tells Jack she has a plan to get him out .., to let him encounter the outside world..!

Jack: truck.., wiggle out jump .., run.. ask for help..
Ma: Jump when truck slows down.. Do not worry I'm going to be there talking in your head all the time..   

And.., it's not just about them escaping out of that Room.., it's about how different their life was when they moved out.. For Ma Room was a prison but for Jack it was his whole world..
For him the direct exposure to sunlight.., seeing too many people around itself was very bizarre..

Jack: I've been in the world 37 hours. I've seen pancakes, and a stairs, and birds and windows, and hundreds of cars. And clouds and police, and doctors, and grandma and grandpa. I've seen persons with different faces, and bigness, and smells, talking all together. The world is like all T.V planets at the same time, so I don't know which one to look at and listen. There's doors and.. more doors.. and behind all doors, there's another inside and another outside. Anything happen, happen and goes on happening.It never stops. Plus the world's is always changing brightness, and hotness. and there is invisible germs floating everywhere when I was small, I only knew small things. But now I'm five I know Everything!

Being free is one thing and actually feeling free is another..
Ahead it shows how they overcome the difficulties to adapt to the different life they are exposed to..!
We get accustomed to things and atmosphere that we are surrounded with..
Jack was happy in his room, in his own virtual little world.., with his Ma..
The most important thing this movie brings out is that , all we need to live is 'Love' . Ma loved Jack immensely and so did he.., all that she did was only and only for him..

Jack: There's so much of 'place' in the world. There's less time because time has to be spread extra thin over all the places, like butter. So all the persons say "Hurry up! let's get going! pick up pace! Finish up now!" Ma was in a hurry to go 'boing' up to heaven, but she forgot me. Dumbo Ma! so the aliens threw her back down. CRASH! and broke her..

The film is narrated through the eyes of little Jack which in turn brings in the sense of innocence that will touch your soul..!
It's a movie that is engaging, emotionally driven with numerous heart touching mother-son moments..

It will just take you to the different world created by Ma and Jack..
Room.., is a must watch..!

LOCKDOWN LIFE

LOCKDOWN LIFE #StayHome #StaySafe #StaySane HOME Khush yaar…, you know what, tomorrow we have this seminar on Software Testing and Quality Assurance for which we are supposed to download loads of applications and what not, and, and, on the top of it, its going to be for like six long hours ( with just half an hour lunch break) can you believe it…! Firstly, the idea of working Saturday does not fit in my brain… Secondly, it’s for six long hours… No actually, five and half long hours, thirty minutes lunch break…, Khushi interjects. Well, okay, I edit. Secondly, it’s for like five and half long hours… Lastly, ‘ATTENDANCE IS COMPULSORY’, I say it with a tinge of annoyance in my voice to my dearest roomie Khushi. Wait, wait, wait, hang on there, take it easy bro…, says Khushi. Well, you are right, but I really don’t want it to happen, you know. Khush, I was actually thinking to download all the required software tomorrow morning. What say? For now, I should j...

WHAT IS TIME..?

"Oh we had such a good time that day..!" "OMG I am getting late.., I just did't keep note of time. " "Please do come on time ." "That person is very much particular about time.. "                             Yes.., we use the word 'Time' so often. Well, what exactly does it mean..? So here I decide to google it and get to know it's technical meaning.. Google says.., It is a point of time as measured in hours and minutes past midnight or noon. It is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events in the past, present, and future regarded as a whole. It is plan, schedule, or arrange when (something) should happen or be done. Okay.., now let's just dive into it in our own way.., the way we look at it. [ Below is the conversation that I had with my friend. ] My Friend: So, see you tomorrow morning at 8 o’clock and yes, don’t be late. Me: Yes.., okay. See ...

TO BE HAPPY...

Why is it always me..? why isn't the fate never in my support..? I give up. yes.., we all would have at least once asked such question to ourselves. So.., analyzing the thoughts and working of mind of people these days it's provident that it's  so easy to play the blame game. Yes.., the blame game, it's so easy to curse our fate, to curse all the bad things happening to us, even if it is tiny it is to be blamed.. Now a days what I feel is.., to find good in things happening around us has become a big task.. yes, we all tend to see other people's success and blame the fate for those things not happening to us. Well I guess that's normal human tendency to get allured by other people's success, to may be envy a little.. But again that's just normal right..? then, why to belong to that lot of people that come into normal category. Choose to be unique.., Choose to be the one with huge heart.., Choose to be the who can genuinely feel happy for others...
