What’s a piece of media (book, movie, song) that changed how you see the world?

A book, a movie, and a few songs have genuinely changed the way I look at life.

The book would definitely be The Secret. The idea that thoughts become things deeply resonated with me. It made me realize how powerful our mindset is and how the way we think can shape the life we experience.

When it comes to movies, Dear Zindagi and Kal Ho Naa Ho have had a profound impact on me. Dear Zindagi helped me understand the importance of acknowledging childhood wounds, emotional healing, and seeking help without shame. Kal Ho Naa Ho reminded me to value life, cherish relationships, and live fully in the present because tomorrow is never guaranteed.

As for songs, Love You Zindagi from Dear Zindagi has always felt like a warm hug. It reminds me to embrace life despite its imperfections.

Another song that touched me deeply is In Dino from Life in a… Metro. To me, it carries a beautiful reminder that we have permission to love ourselves, to take care of ourselves, to slow down, and to live life at our own pace without constantly seeking validation.

These books, movies, and songs didn’t just entertain me—they changed my perspective. They helped me look at myself with more compassion and helped me embrace the life I have today with greater gratitude and acceptance.
