If I'd known, how savage love is
I'd have shut the door..
Saw "Mr and Mrs Iyer" for nth time today, am not sure how many times more I will see it again.
Truth is, I am in love with the movie,
with the genuineness of the characters,
with Meenakshi's eyes when they open
with the lines "If I'd known.." and "Don't look away",
with the moment they have in train,
and above all with the surreal reality portrayed.
It captures love in its most beautiful form,
when its unintentional, unsaid and unnamed.. just felt.
when the world around seems so far away
the heart skips a beat every time one thinks about it
n that dreamy ticklish feeling is all that matters..
Poornima, the best writer who knows me and for me a very knowledgeable person concerning matters of love (by experience or otherwise), has a different view. I am not sure how highly she thinks of love when she says, "Its an illusion" and at the same time agrees that ".. every illusion that we hold is absolutely real for the time we hold it."
Now, people will say Ashish is a dreamer. Thanks to Reem, a chat pal and a fellow blogger, I already have an answer. She says, "Don't accuse me for being a dreamer, if reality didnt bore me so much, I would have been otherwise.. " My admiration of her attitude is just a question "Why does she even think of being otherwise, when the dreamer Reem is mystery enough for the world?"
Another of my good friends, a mathematician, tries to analyse the power of fiction in her blog. This reminds of a certain "Dead Poets' Society", of which I am surely a fan? Whats there to analyse in a verse, a movie, a painting or a picture? If words were to describe a beauty, whats the need of it?

Hey you are tagged...
Check out my blog, for details... :-)
Ashish, its a very powerful illusion. You know even people who say they dont believe in love- it always is a reaction of sorts. Either of rejection, intimidation or something gone sour. So many others believe it coz they want to. Maybe I'll write to you about it.
@Manish
This tagging business is cool, gives you a topic to post.
@Poornima
Hey, nice "analysis". I'll look forward to knowing and hopefully assimilating your thoughts.
hi ashish just checked out ur blog for the heck of it but really liked it a lot...u write pretty well must say..love is indeed unintentional,unsaid and unnamed..only felt. but never savage it assimilates inside u because u want it to because u like the way it makes u feel..because in all that craziness u find some sense a sense of being the way u actually are and being loved for that..in love u can never lose cause winning n losing is only in competitions not in love...tc n u can call me khushi coz that's what my friend's call me.
Hi Ashsish,
I am going through ur blog, its really nice. About this movie - "Mr. & Ms. Iyer", the way you think love is captured is true..it is the uncontrollable thing, can happen to anybody anytime..where u don't expect anything from that person..u just want to feel the presence, u just want to be with him beyond all d world ..u just want to live that moment .all else is forgettable
