Soul Surfers: An Antidepression Movie






I was back from my daily workout routine. I was going through my Facebook page thinking to either watching a movie or read a book. Then, I saw a post on FB which mentioned 9 movies that can work better than medicines to cure depression. The first movie on the list was Soul Surfers. It is a sports biography on the real life incident of Bethany Hamilton. I am a sports fan and I love to watch sports based movies. I recently saw Rush and Southpaw both of which are a must watch movie. 

Soul Surfer is an inspiration movie about Bethany Hamilton who is extremely talented and has a lot of potential to be a surfer. This is acknowledged by the people around her. One morning she trains for the upcoming championship with her Alana Blanchard. While surfing, unexpectedly, a Tiger Shark attack Bethany and she loses her left arm. After losing her arm, the life around her changes. Her family motivates her to return to surfing but she feels it very difficult to cope with the life around her. Her family supports her immensely.


She questions why God has put her into this situation, why did it happen to her? To which she gets a reply that there might be something good out of this situation. 

During her volunteering experiencing in Thailand she realizes that it’s not only her but there many who have been put in adversities in life. She then realizes that she can motivate others to take up surfing. After returning, she trains hard and returns to the surfing competition. She competes.

The movie depicts the immense willpower of Bethany, it depicts that there are always something good out of any situation which are put in life to. A Truly Inspirational Movie. 

Must watch for those who keep on asking:
Why I have Been Put into This Situation?
or
If it has to be; then why it has to be with me?




The story of Bethany Hamilton would help to keep your spirits high as it acts as an Antidepressant. For me it Definitely Has.

When the Universe Opens a Door — Walk Through It

In life, we often find ourselves waiting—for opportunities, for recognition, for that one moment when everything will fall into place. But what we don’t always realize is that opportunity rarely knocks twice , and when it does, it doesn’t wait around forever. Let me share a moment from my own journey that taught me this the hard way. The High of Recognition It was 2014. I was 30 years old and had the rare chance to work directly with one of the most senior bureaucrats in the state government. We were organizing a premier, high-profile event. It demanded precision, coordination, long hours—and a whole lot of ownership. I was fully immersed—managing teams, anticipating challenges, and supporting my boss every step of the way. The event was a success. And once it wrapped up, I felt a strong sense of pride, not just for myself but for the team. What happened next felt like validation. Two mid-level officers who had seen me in action came up to me. They said: “We need young profess...

In the Line of Duty: The Untold Heroism of Costao Fernandes

The First Cinematic Masterpiece of 2025 Has Quietly Arrived — And It Deserves Your Attention The year may still be young, but Coasta’s Story has already staked its claim as one of 2025’s most powerful cinematic offerings. Released quietly on ZEE5, this deeply moving film chronicles the life of Customs Officer Costao Fernandes — a man whose unwavering commitment to duty came at a tremendous personal cost. Brought to life with quiet brilliance by Nawazuddin Siddiqui, this isn't just a film; it's a salute to all those who fight silent battles in the shadows of bureaucracy and corruption. “Not all heroes wear uniforms in battle — some wear them in silence, carrying the weight of integrity.” In a country where the system is often criticized for being slow, flawed, or unjust, Coasta’s Story reminds us of the unsung heroes who continue to keep that very system standing. The film doesn’t resort to melodrama or hyperbole; instead, it leans into emotional honesty. It offers a raw ...

Kaalidhar Laapata: A Soulful Simple Film

In a world obsessed with speed and spectacle,  Kaalidhar Laapata  offers something far more rare— stillness . Featuring a beautifully subdued Abhishek Bachchan in the lead role, it quietly nudges us toward some of life’s biggest questions—about aging, abandonment, hope, and the strange miracle of companionship. However, after watching the movie, I came to know that this heartfelt film, directed by Madhumita is a hindi remake of the original Tamil film  K.D. The story follows Kaalidhar (who during his life's journey is renamed “KD”), a weary middle-aged man grappling with memory loss and abandonment. After discovering that his own family is planning to leave him behind during a pilgrimage, he escapes and meets Ballu—a feisty and lovable 8-year-old orphan,   and the two embark on a spontaneous road journey to fulfill KD’s long-forgotten bucket list. What begins as an escape becomes a path to rediscovery—for both of them.   What follows is a heartfelt road jou...
