Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahin

Bidding adieu with eyes is one of the most beautiful and painful things.When eyes and hearts do the talking for lips you cannot deny the truth or fake yourselves. All love stories that do not have a happy ending become much more beautiful once they accept the truth.But letting go the person you love is actually what love demands.

Lo Tay Hai Ke Pyaar Nahin

Maana Ke Hum Yaar Nahin

Lo Tay Hai Ke Pyaar Nahin

Phir Bhi Nazarein Na Tum Milaana

Dil Ka Aitbaar Nahin

In this song ,where Abhi and Bindu let their eyes speak, a trail of memories rush to him, when he sees her beautiful pair of eyes drenched in rain.They are not friends nor lovers, yet there is this nameless relation between them that pulls them towards each other.

raaste mein jo miloon to

haath milaane ruk jaana

saath mein koi ho tumhaare

door se hi tum muskaana

Letting go is never easy, but when you do that let there be no traces of hatred in your meetings, even if it is from a distance.Never let your past hurt others and that's what Abhi and Bindu did by choosing their ways and respecting each other's decision. Even the book that he wrote , which is supposed to be published was only shown to Bindu, because she is the only one who has the right for it.So he let the"phool jo band hai pannon mein to,/usko dhool bana dena".In a world where "happily ever after"s are praised,there are some relations where an invisible connection hold your hands and make you dance weirdly in the rain like Abhi and Bindu. And some day in a corner of some drawer,when we find the picture of that person,once again, it's that same journey of thorns,in that street of flowers.That face which makes you accept the truth and let go even if it aches, because you know it is that one face and pain that intoxicates you and that inspires you.

Of mothers, sarees and their grief

Mothers are often presented as the epitome of love in movies. The struggles, sacrifices and the quiet tiredness they carry are praised, even placed on a pedestal. But we rarely talk about their grief, the grief of unlived lives. Have you ever thought about the lives of these mothers before marriage and motherhood? Before all the giving began? So often, clad in their sarees, mothers cook and smile, clean and laugh. But is that all they ever wanted? Do they carry the weight of the shadows of their unlived lives? Many do, though they may never say it aloud. And they leave it behind for the happiness of the ones they love. I often feel that when they wipe sweat from their brows with the edge of their sarees, they catch the glimpse of their hidden grief. The loneliness and the neglect they receive, they tuck it away, fold it into the pleats of their sarees and smile again. Some may have once wanted to be doctors, teachers, dancers, writers, travellers. And even in their happiest moments, th...

Laapataa Ladies aka Ladies Lost in Patriarchy

Kiran Rao’s “Laapataa Ladies” is a social satire that offers entertainment as well as empowerment. The movie humorously portrays the grave realities of a patriarchal society with the help of a simple story and background. As the name and the trailer suggested, it revolves around two newly married brides who get lost on the way to their in-laws’ home. While Jaya, whom Deepak accidentally brings home instead of his wife Phool, seizes this opportunity to follow her dream, Phool undergoes profound personal growth during the time. This period shows multiple women discovering themselves. Some learn to do things that they love for themselves while others learn to explore and embrace their talents. Even though Jaya and Phool are two contradictory characters, they are both equally victims of patriarchal conditioning. While Jaya is ready to break and act against all the norms of society from the very beginning by uttering the name of her husband to everyone’s disbelief, Phool learns to do t...
