freedom of heart

In one year of traveling, I went to India twice, for a total of nearly four months.

It has been nearly a month since Yunyou returned, and he has not done anything, does not want to do anything, and feels lost.
At the beginning, it was a difficult decision to let go of everything and go for a tour. But I realize now that coming back is more difficult than leaving.

Turn on the computer for no purpose and open the folder named India. It was the piecemeal homework I did before I set off, but in fact, I wandered aimlessly and aimlessly afterwards, and these homework did not come in handy at all. I just found out now that in this folder I also put a couple of movies about India.

Nothing to do, so watch a movie. This one, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, I actually saw it years ago, but I didn't even make an impression.
This turned out to be an interesting movie.
Looking at those noisy and chaotic pictures, it seems that I can smell the unique smell mixed with spices, dust, feces, fireworks, and sweat.

The old lady in the movie wrote in her diary: "How far from home do I have to cry?". The Chinese subtitles are translated as "Cry all the way", which is too hypocritical. The "Cry" in the original text may just be a cry without tears.

In any case, this self-examination is still thought-provoking: How far and where do I have to go before I can have freedom of heart?
I didn't have an answer, but suddenly Xiaowu, it turned out that there was a powerful force that made me let go of everything and go far away. What my heart wanted was exactly the freedom of my heart.

Yes, at least you have to walk into the mountains before you can shout to the valley.

Another episode in the movie that impressed me was the breakup of the old couple. "Actually, we all knew it was time to separate, but you are too nice...". They broke up, with a tragic end. But they are also free, happy ending.

This is the story of a group of older people. They went to India together, as if to find out how to spend the days before death, hoping to die without regrets.

I am very fortunate that I have been to India when I was not too old, and I have no regrets to enjoy the freedom of my heart on the long and far journey.
Thank you India, home of the heart.

    The actors are very fond of them, but I feel a little disappointed after the filming. Maybe my expectations are too high, but it's still pretty good.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel quotes

  • Jean: [to Douglas Ainslie] When I want your opinion I'll tell you what it is.

  • Sonny: [Running up the stairs of Sunaina's workplace shouting -] Sunaina! Sunaina! Sunaina! Sunaina!

    Sunaina's Brother: Hey, what's going on?

    Sonny: [Bent over panting and out of breath from running up the stairs. Holds up one finger to motion to please wait]

    Sunaina's Brother: Sonny?

    Sonny: [Panting] I need to see Sunaina.

    Sunaina's Brother: Her shift's not over. And when it is, she doesn't want to see you.

    Sonny: Jay. You - You are the son my mother wished I was. An intelligent man with a strong head for business. You see things as they are and not as you wish them to be. So, fuck off out of my way!

    [Jay crosses his arms]

    Sonny: Or, you can give her a message. Tell her from me what I should have told her the day we met. What I will announce to anyone who asks and many who do not.

    Sunaina: [Interjects from around the corner] Including your mother?

    Sunaina's Brother: [Asks Sonny incorrectly] Including my mother?

    Sunaina: [Correcting Jay] His mother.

    Sunaina's Brother: Your mother.

    Sonny: I will tell every mother in the land.

    Sunaina: [Asking Sonny] What will you tell them?

    Sunaina's Brother: [Also asking Sonny] What will you tell them?

    Sonny: The only thing that matters in this world. That I love you and always will. And by "you" I mean Sunaina, Jay, not you. Although if you are to be my brother-in-law, I hope we can become better friends.

    Sunaina: [Speaking to Jay] Why is he only saying this now?

    Sunaina's Brother: [Speaking to Sunaina] You ask him.

    Sunaina: [Comes to the stairs bannister and looks Sonny in the eye] Why are you only saying this now?

    Sonny: Because, Sunaina... love of my life, no more will I believe that I'm not worthy. For only by loving you as you deserve will I become so.
