Who moved my cheese !!!


Change is beautiful. It always brings new challenges, unknown alleys and broader prospects. Adapt to it, and you will find yourself elated to novel heights. Unfortunately, not many appreciate its magnificence; and we always try to resist it.

Ratatouille is indubitably one of the best animated movies rolled out by Pixar Studios. So much so that it inspired an indolent species of my likes to get my ass off the cozy sofa and write. There is a touch of uniqueness in this movie. You always feel great when the beautiful principles and the values that you have always believed in; start playing before your eyes on the 35mm screen.

One of the moments that especially touched me was when the young and enterprising cook rat (Remy') speaks to his father (Django), about humans. Django is adamant that humans are and will always treat them as hostile creatures, unwanted and unloved. He tells Remy', “Listen to me, young man. It is not in their nature to change their views about us. They are not going to do it for you.”
Remy' replies, “But you don’t understand, father. Change is Nature.”

Change is Nature. Because history shows that nature has adapted itself in the blanket of time. However, the beauty of change is that you can bring it in your own life. You have the choice to do so. I think I can sign off here, by recalling Mr. Herbert Spencer’s words of wisdom, since there was a lot of eternal truth in his words:
Survival of the fittest.
Could he have referred to “adapt-ability” by fittest? Perhaps. But whilst you ponder; “Ratatouille! What a touching movie!” chuckles Mr. Spencer somewhere, wiping a tear. Au revoir, Remy!

    Its not that you cannot bring about the change.....but most of time change will come whether you like it nor not....trying to change things is like asking the Moira of a favor..you always get it EXACTLY what you want...though its not exactly WHAT you want!
