There are ways of handling the sorrows of life. Anand chooses to live life in the face of death. To smile so much that every frown is gone. He lets the joy of living hide the fear of death. He is hell-bent on living today to forget the past. His life is short. He chooses to share all the love and laughter he can with everybody leaving a deep impression on the minds of everybody. As the line in the film goes, " Anand mara nahin, Anand marte nahin."
