Every once in a while, a song hums into your life and takes your breath away. Previously, I had fallen in love with Baawra mann and Dil toh bachha hain jii...
Those songs were and are a significant part of my life. Baawra mann, in fact, has become an anthem of sorts.
Last week, I saw this hidden gem of an unknown movie titled Meri Pyaari Bindu. Very filmy, very narrative, and yet, very poignant.
The movie slowly but surely grew into my psyche and established a personal space there; mind you, it's not a great film by any standards but it had something that involved me.
Maybe the story was very relatable and, in parts, it was very predictable too. In spite of a very badly characterized female lead, the movie held its own.
The song. Well, the song. Is it just that?
It made me want to walk in the rain with her. Holding her hands and stealing glances every once in a while...
This song is an ode...
To all that was possible.
To a mysterious smile, which only the observing heart catches.
To paths that were left incomplete.
To love unrequited.
To the field beyond right and wrong.
To the crevices and cracks where it lies wounded and curled up. Like a cat.
To the only kind of love that lasts. Outlasts life itself.
To the yearning and pain that takes the taste out of tea, the bite out of coffee, and the fragrance out of a flower.
To pasts real and imagined... And to that surreal boundary where they meet.:-)
