One
of the most wonderful movies I watched recently. A wonderful movie with a true
and real message. I had seen this movie about two years back also and tried to
write something about it then but just couldn’t. I saw it today again and it was
beautiful to see it.
However,
I could not accept with the central message that Life goes on, because simply
it does not in many cases. Life does not go on like that. It is just not that
simple. Some things change you fundamentally, they shake you up, they twist and
turn your most inner self, your deepest inner core gets changed, and your
thoughts change, your ideas change, and your convictions receive the hardest
blow and things like that.
But
yes, life goes on after all such change, because you simply do not stop to live
i.e. you do not stop to take breath, you do not stop to eat, to sleep and even
laugh and cry sometimes. Whatever tragic event may happen in your life, you
do not cease to live. That is a thing both to rejoice and to be felt sad about.
Tragedies may strike you at any moment of life. At the times, you think you are
invincible, they strike you right then. You feel sadness of the deepest nature
in those times of tragedies. You are left behind. Every thing seems to be lost
and is in fact lost. The dreams which you may have tendered with great love and
care may just vanish with cruelty of the time which tragedy brings. You in fact
loose every hope and tears are the only recourse. However, even in the tears
you continue to breath. You continue to take air in and out of your lungs and
thus life goes on. You are like that poor and shabby beggar whose begging pot
had been kicked by some cruel passerby, but still the beggar with his shaking
hands collect the coins felt here and there and put them back in his pot so
that his life may goes on. Life has to go on, you may fall silent and changes
may haunt you, but still like that hapless beggar you have to live and carry
on. Some how, you have to carry on because there is no other choice. Life is all you have and thus you have to carry on.
Life is the ultimate feeling of your existence. What else is so profound with you, nothing except your life. Life may be a mystery but at the same time there is no other beautiful thing in this
world than Life. And yet some lives may not be that beautiful.
Some lives may not turn out to be what was expected. But what to do, it is life.
What the French would say C'est la vie. You cannot
control life, you cannot plan it. The misery of life is as a truth as the
beauty of life. Let life unfold the way it has to unfold. Just keep sailing in
it. Do your best to live life, because that is the only option we have. We all
want a perfect life, but life may not be that kind to all. But that does not
mean that life is not beautiful. It is indeed beautiful. The human life is such
a beautiful thing that no one perhaps could ever sum up how beautiful it is to
be having breath in your lungs, to feel the warmth of the Sun, to feel the
coldness of the breeze, to be contended, to be trying, to be exclaiming, to be
laughing, to be crying, to be rejoicing, to be saddening. This all is the
beauty of life. We are here to have as many shades of experiences as we can.
For me, I wish my life to be a marvellous statement of experiences, as diverse and divergent as they can be. At the end, I wish to have a grand story of my life which is full of experiences of life itself. Nothing else, I aspire for. As I always believe that Experiences, good or bad, alone will be our treasure. Life alone shall be my treasure.
To end, the
beautiful music in the movie is just wonderful. Hope you love it as I
do……
