The Conceptual love


He told her not to look for him anymore.
That she would find someone better.
Someone who could understand her better.
But he failed to understand her.
The unlike ideas and concepts of love,
The different degree of perseverance and patience,
The profligate orchestrated events,
Incomprehensible intimations.
Once and for all her concepts of love became disfigured.

The wolf would no longer see it's moon.
She was the wailing star of the night sky.
He was not just a name,
He was her muse.
The unwritten words,
Untold stories,
Unseen wounds.

The scars that he made on her.
The deep impressions.
She was left behind.
She was abandoned.
Lone and heartbroken.
She held a bunch of shattered dreams.
She could hear the hounding cries.
The memories that could not be erased.
Every reflection began to strangle her.
He was her secret pride.
The way to his heart was easy .
But the other way is different.
The hurdles are hard and unbearable.
Because to let go is hard.

I'm Sorry

I'm sorry for women out there who do not have a room of their own, to cry out loud. I'm sorry for women who do not have a space of their own to soliloquize. I'm sorry for women out there who suffocate in the air of pretension and who struggle to let go. I'm sorry for women who cannot enjoy the silence, And who are silenced when they want to whoop it up. I'm sorry for women who cannot say 'no', Who is touched, when they don't want to be. I'm sorry for women who are surrounded by when they long for loneliness. I'm sorry for women whose broken heart is not mended. I'm sorry for women who are killed a thousand times when they live. I'm sorry for women who can be billionaires by selling their tears. I'm sorry for women who are blamed for being selfish. I'm sorry for women who are doomed from birth.                                            I'm sorry for women who bleed and bleed and...

Revising Utharam: The Weight of Forgotten Truths

I think more than ghost stories, most people are afraid of the unknown. The  unknown when transforms into a more fearful truth can devastate a person’s entire existence. V.K Pavithran’s  1989 movie Utharam is based on Daphne Du Maurier’s short story “No Motive”. It follows Balu’s quest to uncover the truth behind the mysterious and unexpected suicide of Leena, his best friend Mathew’s wife and someone he considers family.  Balu’s investigative skills as a journalist lead him to some strange and unexpected revelations about Leena’s past. He discovers that Leena had a completely different personality and a  shocking, forgotten history. Despite being a generous person and loving wife of Mathew, Leena lived a seemingly perfect life, content and unaware of her repressed memories. Her life as a poet and a loving partner to Mathew appeared nothing short of perfection. Yet one fine day she decided to take her life in the spur of the moment.  Unlike most mystery movies ...

The Women of Rifle Club

Over the decades, Malayalam cinema has often used female characters to uphold male protagonists, reinforcing the power dynamics in favor of men. This pattern, normalized and celebrated as long as the hero “wins” the situation, has shaped narratives for years. However, in recent times, audiences have begun to unlearn this ingrained bias, recognizing it as something that needs to be critiqued rather than celebrated.  Aashiq Abu’s Rifle Club breaks away from this mold, igniting the fiery tension of a wild war in the Western Ghats. What sets this film apart is its portrayal of women— each female character is uniquely strong and layered, claiming her identity with confidence. From being mocked for being “just a woman” to owning the scene, characterisations of women in Malayalam cinema are beginning to emerge as unstoppable forces. Society often perpetuates the stereotype that women, being emotional, are inherently weaker or less stable in grave situations. Instead, the movie shows that ...
