Everyone knows Mario as one of the most popular games ever. But, many fail to realize how a game of Mario is EXACTLY like our life.
In the beginning, it's very easy.
But, as you grow older, it gets tougher.
Once you go ahead, you can never go back.
It sends a lot of obstacles our way.
We can either jump over them
or jump on them and solve them.
Some problems hurt you
and some might come back.
But, you will always get over it
Sometimes, you have to let go
But, you will always get twinkling opportunities
You always find some time to be away from the world
But, there might be an unexpected surprise
There are ups and downs.
There are shortcuts.
And there are "stairways to heaven"
There is even a God.
And he sends his blessings ("Dene wala jab bhi deta, deta chappar phad ke")
But, most important of all, it has the same romance.
We work hard to win a girl's heart and when we do, we our greeted with
a scary monster, commonly known as "The Father", it is also known as "The Sanskaar" in some Indian cases.
But, we don't give up,
we jump past the monster, and get the girl,
only to find out, after spending quite some time with her, that she's not "The One"
After a lot of problems,
overcoming these problems,
celebrations,
depressions,
good surprises,
not-so-good surprises,
loneliness,
praying to God,
getting shit in return,
encounters with Father and Sanskaar
and a lot of Stairway to Heaven for inspiration,
we finally reach the final, deadly, long encounter with Sanskaar, the wedding,
But, problems don't leave our backs, even when we reach the fire of ritual
the words of the pandit go on and on, in an infinite loop,
unless, you know how to get out of it,
and you reach The Father, who you will face for the last time,
and you fight the last sanskaar, to start an amazing life with The One
but now, she is completely devoted to sanskaar, and you wait for the sweet release death.
Eventually you die, and,
you are reborn,
in a tougher world, because you were a jerk in your past life and this is karma saying
