Princess Diaries

Princess DIaries was screened on TV last night and I watched it a second time. I love the movie. It is simple. It brings me into my realms of fantasy and miracles. It may not happen to anyone. NOt everyone can be a princess of a country. There would be too many princesses by then. But what was said in the movie really touched me.

Mia was not ready to be a princess. I mean, afterall, she is only fifteen. MOst girls at fifteen would be thinking about passing their exams and exploring their sexuality and the world around them. And after a series of happenings, the girl finally decided to take up the challenge. One of the motivations behind her decision was that being someone in that position, she could put into actions ideas and thoughts that have impact on the people of the world. She could do things that bring good to the people and the future generation. She could build on the intelligent people and their ideas.

Most important of all, I think, the lesson to be learnt is that there will always be a miracle in our lives. If only we cared enough to recognize it.
