Moments

Just watched my favourite scene from My Best Friend's Wedding. Its when Michael goes on a boat ride with Julianne. He is discussing with her how they both rarely used the word love in their relationships with other people. And then he says "
Kimmy says if you really love someone you say it loud.. otherwise ..."
Julianne completes it for him "..otherwise the moment just passes you by.." During this scene the boat is going under the bridge so its in shadow and Juliannes eyes are brimming with tears. As she says the words the boat comes out from under the bridge into the light. Love the scene.

Its not the just love, a lot of things in life are momentous. Its about reacting correctly at the right moment. Or realzing what it is that you want at the moment when you want to make your decision.

If one thinks back, there are these "life changing moments". At that point of time we hardly even notice them, Its when they are gone we feel that something important just happened.

If you love someone, say it then and there. If you want to take up that job, don't dwell on it. Just accept it. When you want to make the move go ahead and do it. Once the moment has past, there is not much you can do the make it happen again.

This is not a reminder of all things that could have been, but all things that could be!

So you were watching TBS too??
I know what you mean about that scene.. Actually, I love that movie because it is more conversation based than dialogue based...

About letting the moment go, well, I believe that some things are easier said than done... It is going to be imp to say everything u feel at every moment u get... Some things r going to be left unsaid.. However, even if the moment passes, I dont think it is ever too late to say some things... except certain situations, if u want to say something, i think u should say those things, no matter if the moment has passed... Atleast there r no regrets later...
