Forrest Gump is a fun movie. My wife and I were in Savannah, Georgia two summers ago and had our picture taken at the spot where Forrest Gump sat on the bench talking to the lady waiting for the bus. The bench itself had been moved.(Actually a number of well known movies have been shot in Savannah or nearby. There is a special tour of locations where movie scenes were shot that we took and this is how we found the bench spot).

The movie Forrest Gump, directed by Robert Zemeckis came out in 1994. Tom Hanks who played the role of Gump won his second best actor Academy Award.It is one of those movies that you can watch over and over and it’s a little hard to explain why. Yes, it is fanciful and some would consider ridiculous at points. Some reviews would point out flaws in the story line or the how convincing certain story plots are. But I think that misses the point of this movie.

To me there is a message. A fun movie with a message. The message is about what is most important in life. At one point in the movie Forrest says to the love of his life, Jenny, I’m not a smart man, but I do know what love is.Gump wasn’t a smart a man by the world’s standards. He had an IQ of 75. Some would call him stupid and his famous retort was “Stupid is as stupid does.” While the world might call the Gump character stupid, he did know what love was.

He endangered his own life by saving Lieutenant Dan. When he learned that his mother lay on her death bed, he ran home. Literally, he ran home to be by her side. And he always loves Jenny no matter what and in the end finds a life with her.Despite all his great achievements as the world defines them…becoming a football star, a war hero, a ping pong champ, a wealthy entrepreneur, and meeting John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, & Richard Nixon - in the end all that really mattered were his friends and loved ones.

I believe that is what has made this movie something of a classic that people will enjoy watching for a long time to come. It isn’t what Forrest Gump accomplished; it’s not the funny things that happen in the movie. It is that it reminds of what is most important in life - people.

Fun? With allergies?

No…I am not kidding! Having an allergy should not be a burden or an excuse to keep complaining about your condition. Learn how to reverse the disadvantages of having an allergy to be a lot of good reasons of having a wonderful life with allergies.I take egg allergy here based on my own experiences, because I personally have an egg allergy, besides chicken allergy. But you actually can expand or change the list for any other allergies.I believe that God has created human being and granted us a great living. So, it is up to us to fill it with negative things (complaining, grumbling), or positive thinking.Allergy is a disorder of your body reaction. Or in another word: you are ‘abnormal’. But, as God is perfect, it is impossible that He created us imperfect. That means He might have given us the allergy so that we can build or create great things from our condition. When I think about this, suddenly I can see my allergy in a different point of view.

What makes having an allergy be a fun?

These are just 4 ideas I can found, but you might come up with more good ideas:

1)Live healthier with healthy food

As a woman, I love sweet desserts like cakes and ice creams, just like many other women. But having an egg allergies force me to replace those calories-and-fat-rich desserts. My choice fall on fruit puddings, fruit salads or sweet rice cakes (I live in Indonesia, and we have many choices of sweet rice and corn cakes that do not contain eggs, they are delicious and healthier too!). So, at the end having egg allergy force me to have less fat in food, which make my life healthier too.

2)Help weight loss

Since high calories food usually contain eggs, having egg allergy means you must avoid those foods forever. This will help you in your weight loss or in maintaining your ideal weight. You would not crave for those kind of meals anymore, since you know the danger of having those foods, which is allergy or asthma attack. Maybe it’s difficult in the beginning (I’ve been through it, really, it’s tough!), but try to imagine how bad it feels when you got allergy or asthma, everytime you are tempted to eat food with eggs. I guarantee that you will lose your appetite!

After few months you will get used to it, and will never crave for the foods anymore. On the contrary, you will be proud of yourself as you can maintain your ideal weight while your friends keep complaining about the hard diets they must take.

3)No more hard diets

Have a research on foods you can eat (do not contain eggs) and you like. Then make a list of them. Every time you find a new biscuit brand in supermarket, or a recipe from internet or from your friend, add it to your list. Try to always stuck to the list. This way you can still eat what you like (I can have my favorite sweet cookies), without being worried of massive weight gain. However, always eat when you really need it, as excess eating can also cause you weight gain even if it is low fat.

4)Creating new hobbies and making new friends

This is the most fun part. As my mother share the same egg allergy with me, we like to go to supermarket or deli together. There we can scan snacks, biscuits and breads that we can eat (actually it’s more fun to do it than write it!…). It’s really exciting when we find new delicious food. We used also to bake our favorite egg-free recipe at home, and eat it together.If you like to write like me, well…you can publish an article about your experience with your allergy, just like the one you are reading! You can also get new friends, through many forums in the internet, with whom you can share your conditions, and even learn new things from each other.

Chehara mera tha nigaahen us ki, Khaamoshi men bhi vo baaten us ki

Mere chehare pe gazal likhati gain, Sher kahati hui aankhen us ki

Shokh lamhon ka pata dene lagin, Tez hoti hui saansen us ki

Aise mausam bhi guzaare ham ne, Subahen jab apani thin shaamen us ki

Dhyaan men us ke ye aalam tha kabhi, Aankh mahataab ki yaaden us ki

Faisalaa mauj-e-havaa ne likha, Aandhiyaan meri bahaaren us ki

Neennd is soch se tuuti aksar, Kis tarah katati hain raaten us ki

Door rah kar bhi sadaa rahati hai, Mujh ko thame hue baahen us ki
