Scene from movie The Terminal (Tom Hanks,Catherine Zeta Jones)

Everytime I watch this movie, I wait for this scene, to reconfirm the power of destiny.

And when we talk of destiny, there's nothing right or wrong about it. Everything seems so absolute, so very defined... but unrevealed, and we just go on unraveling all the non-surprises of life being so thrilled about it. Adjusting our emotions accordingly, sometimes happy and thankful, sometimes agonized and puzzled.

But we talk of destiny only when we are sad. Or may be we think only when we are sad.

I want to be happy. So here I close my eyes. And I switch on the light in my room.

When you see the light with closed eyes, you can say that you are happy.

Destiny - We need something to blame for not getting we desire , we need someone to blame for..and we blame ..only blame ..destiny..

On the other hand.. I feel , everything is predecided, predestined..so whatever happens is the way it had to happen.. yet we always have a choice which way to lead on..

Thats a perception!

Its like a circuit..where you have many buttons to press at any instant, the one you chose decides , what the next set of buttons would be...it goes on...

Thats again , how I see it..
