15 Quotes From Dear Zindagi Movie

I super love Dear Zindagi movie and I think the quotes from that movie need to be in a separate post because why not, right? Maybe some days in future I will use this quotes to motivates me, to make me understand this life better, to have broader perspectives in every thing happening around me. Or maybe helping you guys too. 

1. On Relationship 

“Why just one special relationship?

One can have many special relationships. Different relationships for different experiences like a special musical relationship - who shares the same interest in music, or a special let's get coffee together relationship - perfect to have coffee with but not anything else, or a special gossip relationship - with whom you can have perfect gossip relationship, or a special intellectual relationship - for all those perfect bookish/intellectual discussions. There are so many different special relationships, so many kind, and this romantic relationship is one of many.

To expect a single relationship to take on the burden of every need is a bit unfair, right?”

2. On Life Partner

When we go to buy chairs we try many before buying one, so then what is the problem in looking for options while selecting a life partner? Try to keep our focus away from the rush to find a life partner and enjoy the journey instead.

3. On Future 

Don’t let the past blackmail your present to ruin a beautiful future.

Don’t forgo a chance of happiness out of past fear.

4. On Life

We are all our own teachers in the School Of Life.

5. On Person

Life is like a jigsaw puzzle … people like me can only help you in finding and connecting the puzzle pieces … but only you can complete the puzzle. So often we look at to other people to solve our problems in and out of relationships. But the only person who can really help you is you

6. Classic But Gold

Albert Einstein had said that … a person is mad when he does the same work everyday … but still expects the result to be different.

7. On Being Genius

In life when you see a pattern or a habit forming … then you should think about that very carefully … genius is about knowing when to stop. A person who has the answer to every question is not a genius … a genius is a person who has the patience to get to every answer.

8. Struggle in Life…is it necessary? 

Sometimes we choose a difficult path only because … we feel that to attain important things we need to choose a difficult path … we think that it’s important to punish ourselves … but why can’t we choose a simple path … what’s wrong with that … especically when we are not ready to face that difficult path

9. On Controlling Your Life

If we don’t take the steering wheel of our life in our own hands … then someone else will sit on the driver’s seat.

10. On Loving Ourselves

When we understand ourselves well enough then it doesn't matter what others understand… nothing at all.

11. On Feelings

As kids when we are sad, our elders tell us not to cry. When we are angry they tell us to smile. They didn’t allow us to express crying, anger and hatred openly, now how can you express love. If you are not able to cry openly ... then how will you laugh openly.

12. To Feel Safe

To feel safe you first need to remove all your fears.

13. On Mental Ilness

If you have a problem with your body, that’s normal…you can tell everyone. But if it’s a problem with our mind then the whole family will go silent.. hush hush hush as if the mind is not the part of your body.

14. On Parenting

'I'm not saying that you should forgive your parents or to stop feeling angry, you do as you wish. But I will say this: try to look them not as the exalted status of parents but as just two regular people who make mistakes as everyone else. As a child, it is hard to understand this.... but as an adult, you can at least try. 

15. Respect

Because you're elder, you don't think that getting respect is everyone's right and sometimes elders should also respect young people. 

My favorite quote is when Dr. Jehangir Khan talks about relationship. It moved me a lot. All this while I thought being in a relationship you have to be the perfect person in our partners’ life but turns out I don’t have to! 

Same goes to friendship, why limit your friendship just for small circle in your life? Is it because you fear of the backstabber or rude mistakes or even respect? Even our small circle will do that but out of love, we tend to forgive over the same mistakes. 

Tell me which is your favorite quote from Dear Zindagi and if you guys have not watch it yet, do visit Netflix okiessss ;)
