We all get inspired by movies at some point in life.
Some people love those goal-oriented, win-against-all-odds types.
Some get drawn into mushy love stories or family dramas.
And then there are people like me — who get inspired by thriller movies, something like a murder mystery… but of course, I’m not recreating that scene at home 😅 — no matter how dramatic life gets!
This year, our wedding anniversary almost turned into a tragedy (not the romantic kind).
Work pressure, late-night calls, endless deadlines — basically, everything except candlelight and celebration.
Our holiday got cancelled, all bookings for the day scrapped, and even those fun tickets we were so excited about went poof!
If this had happened a few years ago, we would have sat and sulked, maybe eaten a slice of leftover cake and said, “It’s okay, next year.”
But not this time.
This time, we decided to take a page from the movie Drishyam — and recreate the day with a twist of positivity, training our minds to believe that our day isn’t over yet.
On the very same day, when we realized our D-day wouldn’t be a free day, we picked up the phone, changed all our bookings to another weekday, and told ourselves,
“Anniversary or not, we’re celebrating today!”
And guess what? It worked!
We went ahead with every small thing we’d planned — just shifted the timeline a bit.
Honestly, it felt even better: less crowd, more fun, and absolutely zero guilt.
That’s when it hit me — it’s all about how you train your mind.
Life will always throw plot twists, but you get to decide whether you want to pause the movie or re-shoot the scene.
We chose to re-shoot — and had a total blast.
No regrets, no complaints, just laughter and love.
Because sometimes, all it takes is a flexible plan and a positive head to turn a flop day into a blockbuster! 🎉
When plans fail, creativity begins.It’s not about the perfect day — it’s about making the day perfect.
