Today's thoughts on Love.


 Hello, I’m short of content today. I was really confused about what to write. I thought of writing about cinema and its role in my life, but that’s like a baby’s babbling which will never end. With that topic, I can write a number of blogs. But today I wanted to be particular about something .

Maybe, Love?

Our generation, especially cine lovers, have gotten to know what love is after watching some modern classics like Vaaranam Aayiram, VTV, Alapaiyuthe, and so on. But is it always that cinematic?

Love at first sight?

Rain at the first meeting?

Saying “I love you” all of a sudden?

Yes, these expectations are reasonable. As we are exposed to such mediums, it’s common to have them. But it’s not always like that.

Love need not be always spontaneous.At times it might be boring but it's part of it.

It includes care, respect space, understanding, and so on.

When your 'person' feels 'uncomfortable' sharing their past, and you understand it and don’t force them to talk about it — is love.

When your 'person' already knows your  'bitter past' but never uses it as a weapon against you — is love.

When they don’t constantly demand explanations and you don’t have to justify yourself every time — is love.

When both like each other but understand that one needs time to 'process' — that is love.

When you wait for their 'response' — that is love.

When you wait and don’t rush them to make a decision — that is love.

When you miss their 'absence' and check on them — that is love.

Letting them be in their 'own space' — love again.

Asking 'sorry ' is  love.

When you’ve crossed the so-called age to be loved, yet you still give love to others — that is love too. As Love isn’t always physical or societal. If it’s sincere, it will surpass all these forces.

Sorry if I sound philosophical. But all these are reflections from a film called 'Aaromaley' that I watched yesterday. So love is not just occupied with cinematic expectations, but a mixture of both reality and cinematic expectations.This film is a light drama; if you love that genre, please do give it a watch.

Review soon in the next blog 😃

Yesterday!

Image
Yesterday felt complete. Because my favourite professor presented me with a diary Because it was the last offline working day Because all the classes were fun Because the last hour was a group activity Because it was rain and sunset together Because of the giggles And the unbearable belly laughs. Yesterday was special. Was it so special? Wasn’t it ordinary? No, it wasn’t for the last six months. Though it rained, Though both the sun and clouds coexisted, Though we, as friends, were together, Yesterday felt different—real, genuine. The old energy is back. The moment we realised It’s still the same spark, The same bond, The same charisma, The same love is Alive between us. Yesterday was special. Another win is Having made a plan out of a WhatsApp group, And actually executing it amidst heavy rain. Having tried new snacks Without running behind time and the bill, Eating them all, Fulfilling the inner child’s stomach and soul. Having taken selfies Despite being shy and awkward. Yesterday w...

Say and Do

Say and Do, Not only the spelling of these two words differs, But the meanings do too. Only One in a million Doesn’t know the difference, Whereas others, The whole population — Know what the word “Say” denotes And what the word “Do” denotes. Yet we just pretend, As if we are great actors. It begins in childhood, Gets worse in adulthood, And in old age, A few realise and succeed, Whereas others regret And find it difficult to cope. It all starts with small promises. We used to say, “I promise you, Mom,” But with the left hand, Or By twisting the middle and Index fingers, So that those words are just words, not action. So Say & Do isn’t a new thing for us. It grows As a habit, Or develops as A trait itself. It should be pruned like a weed in a plant, But instead, pesticide is sprayed, And we fail to remember that  Any day it's unhealthy. Adulthood worsens it. Food, fashion, fitness, studies, and life choices — Everything makes a cameo. At times, I wonder, Are we really being acto...

AGING

Aging Is aging fine? Losing your loved ones, Losing your balance over your body, Losing things around you, Losing memory, Losing yourself one day. People say — embrace oldness. But is it easy for all? For the one who cannot walk who once was running, For the one who cannot taste anymore their favourite food, For the one with no money left to buy, For the one with no strength to carry the weight of sorrow, For the one who feels their very existence might hurt. It is difficult. Not everyone crosses this stage happily. Some live with fear — that one day they will vanish not only from life, but from memory too. Yet, no matter what — their presence, their love, their care, their anger, their possessiveness, their sweetness — will remain as pieces that still glow, in a place time cannot touch.
