Neha's Notebook

The Pursuit of Happyness is a 2006 movie based on the life story of Chris Gardner, the American businessman and motivational speaker. The movie features Will Smith in the lead role and bubbles with heart-thumping sparks of inspiration soaked generously with depth of emotion. The movie is also the story of a man with simple-straightforward values and a heart full of big dreams. While the character of Chris struggles and strives ahead in pursuing happiness, he inspires his son to follow his dreams and learn to build a shield of ignorance towards what other people seem to say or think about him. Here are 34 beautiful and inspiring dialogues from the movie, most of these the words of real Chris Gardner. Breeze through and get inspired! #1 Don’t ever let somebody tell you, you can’t do something, not even me. You got a dream, you gotta protect it. People can’t do something themselves, they want to tell you that you can’t do it. You want something, go get it. Period. #2 That’s smart. M

The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger is one of those books that one may read over and over again, and never get bored. It clangs and jingles with the outpourings of sentiments, sentiments which erupt from the pellmell of the juvenile years in the life of a boy named Holden Caufield. Written in a 1st person narrative, the book gushes with the tohubohu of his adolescence and boyhood. Irked by who he calls as “phonies”, aka his fellow schoolmates, Holden decides to leave his school Pencey Prep. Stepping into the rubbly arena of the outer world, Holden seems to feel alienated, disoriented and miffy at its absurdity. The text that follows in the book elaborates upon these emotions in a tangle of brilliantly-crafted interior monologue that turns out to be utterly savoury to the reading sense. The book features an epistolary format, which means that it is written in the form of letters addressed to the reader and divided into chapters.

Password to Larkspur Lane by Carolyn Keene As much as the title of the book suggests, the novel reveals a mystery that unfolds like a gossamer trail of violet-pink larkspur flowers… It is said that if one wishes to attract butterflies and hummingbirds in a garden, one should plant oodles of larkspurs there. In this case however, the mystery walks over to Nancy encapsulated in a letter capsule being carried by a homing pigeon. The letter is a typewritten note containing a puzzling code-line: “Bluebells are singing horses”. The note leads Nancy and her crew to a hilltop house where live a granny and a grandpa, who report witnessing apparitional rings of blue fire outside their house, several times since the past few days. As more clues are gathered, the pieces of the puzzle begin taking a form. The crystal garden in the hilltop house, waiting to be robbed by a sanitorium’s doctor-gang who take elderly women as their patients, offering flimflam promises to restore their bea

  LIFE’S SUNSET PRETTY PRETTY [feat. Charlie Brown]   Plunging through the uncharted waters of uncertainty, treading along the gritty shores of sorrow and pity, Basking in the warm orange glow of heart’s love-filled suncity Cassettey music sprawling vermillion melodies of a retro gold ditty Tranquil slumbersome wisps of the whispering soft breeze, the life’s sunset pretty pretty, the life’s sunset pretty pretty the life’s sunset pretty pretty!  

  ​ Tap, tip-tip! The monsoon clock ticks; Yellow, green and brown, Autumn's here, leaves fall down. Then comes the snow, Ahh! I hear my nose blow! Spring brings flowers And bathing in cool-cool showers Uhh! Its Summer! In hot siz ​​ zling air, all water disappears! Seasons show to and fro Some are my favourite And some are so-so!
