You Can Never Tell Which Way The Train Went By Looking At The Rails





Love is Strange

This post will feature soon in another blog of mine,that's gonna start soon.
Well...this is about the incomprehensible facet of life,love rather.
I was watching the movie "Hazaro Khwaishein Aisi",it's all about a guy called Siddharth ,a girl Geetha and another guy Vikram,set in the late 1960s.This guy Siddharth loves Geetha and so does she,Vikram also loves Geetha.Unlike other movies all three of these people are aware of this.Sid is a rich lad(alliteration was unintentional!),son of a retired judge over here,Geetha is also from a relatively well to do family.Vikram's father is a Gandhian and knows that he cannot afford choosing a path for himself that is uncharted.Sid on the other hand is into Marxism or rather a blend of socialism and Marxism that is naxalism today.He is moved by the plight of the oppressed class in many villages across the country.
He goes to a small village in Bihar,many didnot know that it exsited,leaving his love Geetha,Vikram also loves Geetha madly...
The story moves on like this,was an awesome flick on the whole,but what moved me personally was the character of Vikram,I thought and strongly believe that this Vikram resembles me in more ways than one.We are from a similar background,not that my father's into Gandianism,but the Financial status of both is similar,what irked me most was Vikram's love interest.He loved a girl who also loved him but second only to her boyfriend,that boyfriend of hers,as a fact of matter,didnot like him.Geetha gets married to one more guy,not Sid and Vikram gets married to a girl,not that he is not happy,he is.He becomes a rich man,all by his own and his glib tongue and fixing nature,don't know bout the similarity on that count though.
Geetha keeps comin to Vikram for help and he helps like any other dear friend,he bails her out of all the problems.
This person Vikram becomes her shoulder,to weep she loves him for all that he does,still,if you want to give a name to this relationship,you have none,he is not her boyfriend,not a lover,much more than a friend,does what even the closest and the dearest person would not,why then?
well there are a few things in this world that you can never answer,you don't know why,you don't want to comment or comprehend,still you do.Is the girl using you,hell no,she is an angel,she has a life of her own.
You were more concerned that hurt when you discovered that you are not the person she wants to spend the rest of her life with,she appreciates your concern but goes ahead,she heeds you and furthermore needs you in every walk of her life.
You still move on with your life,she pops up time and again in your life.You give your life and soul to her,bail her out,again there is never a time when you donot love your girl as much,or your love fades a shade or two,still you always felt that had it been Geetha for Vikram and not that Siddharth.But you have come a long way,no longer do you get jealous of that other person in her life,you want to help her out and stay there to support her all along,you are not bothered about the consequences or what people around think,because you love her and that simply means that you want to see her happy ,always,at any cost.
Now the question,Is it not what true love is all about?about seeing her happy
but again there is one more thing what did you get out of all this,no...not the girl for sure,peace of mind,no,happiness in your family,no...then what?her love,this answer sounds bromide,silly but true.
Is it that divine,so pristine,so above all things that you don't even hesitate puttin ur life, your happiness at stake just to see the person you love,happy.
hmm...well some questions donot have an answer...do they?
