What drives all of us?

What is the common thing that drive all our actions in our lives? In my opinion it is the urge for satisfaction satisfaction.Every one tries to satisfy himself in some other way or the other.For some it may be physical urges ,for others it may be intellectual or spiritual.From a saint to a criminal, no one can deny that our actions are based on our need to satisfy our desires (even attaining moksha (liberation) is also an element of desire if you think about it).Also people try to maximize the number of choices available to them.The more number of choices they have the more happier they are (though this may apply only to worldly matters).

My top10 Feel-Good-Movies list


These movies are those which gave me a lump in throat while watching but made me feel good at the end of it and made me think after that.These are my antidotes for a bad day :D.

  1. A Beautiful Mind -This one is my favourite,actually made me a die-hard fan of Russel Crowe after watching this.
  2. The Pursuit of Happyness- "This part of my life... this part right here? This is called "happyness." Had damp eyes for most part of the movie.
  3. Forrest Gump-What to say about this one?:) Just enjoy the 'run' with Forrest.
  4. Dead Poets' Socitey -Nothing is dead about this movie except its title.I was jumping with joy after watching this one.
  5. The Shawshank Redemption-imbd#1 and deservingly so.
  6. October Sky-Winning a science fair can be everything!
  7. Goal! The Dream Begins-Almost all sports movies are feel-goods (except for a few like Million dollar baby) But this is right at the top of the list for me.
  8. Shrek...the whole series-Everyone loves a fairy tale and this one is the 'king' of all.
  9. The Family Man- Modern day 'Christmas Carol' and youll feel like christmas at the end of it.
  10. Eternal Sunshine of the spotless Mind-Jim Carrey!!!Most probably you'll have to watch it a second time to fully grasp the plot but you feel light hearted after watching this one,guaranteed.
