Travelling Southwards!
Today may not be a blue moon but in my blogging calender it surely is one. Here
is another (not so successful) attempt on pushing out my disturbing yet exciting
thoughts which most of the time refuses to come out.
This reminds me of all those enviable love stories which the legendary Tamil
film director K.Balachander presented us with in his days of glory be it be a
'Punnagai Mannan' or a 'Thiraikal Ezhuthiya Kavitha(Ek Duje ke Liye)'.How often
has he made me into a hypnotized spectator travelling along with the minds and
thoughts of the protagonist and his partner in love, wishing them good luck in
their desperate search in 'finding neverland'. Leaving alone the romanticism in
the notes i often wondered about the possibility of such relations where the
worry quotient is not alone a single factor like the usual stubborn parents who
sketch out paths for their children to track down all the way or the even more
common third party villain with all kinds of inhuman (very much human actually)
tactics in his search for worldly pleasures. He portrayed a series of differences
and threw in arguments of all kinds in utmost genuinely for the parents to
battle down the case. Boundaries would be created in the name of state, walls
erected on cultural grounds and even the way in which the tongue twisted when
one announces their arrival on planet earth would be counted. If these were
reasons not good enough then comes the deadliest of all bombs. And the worst
part of it is that this would be in the name of the one, who will be the first
to raise his hand if seeked for a consensus. Scholars still refer him 'The
Truth".
Strange are the ways of God. Taste for the Mozart's rhythm, the chat engine
and a secure membership in the social middle class was all that they had in
common. Or was it so? Maybe the lord was looking for something different to keep
himself amused. After all two like patterns might have prompted him in thinking
why two in the first place.
She came from the head and he is from the tail. She spoke the dialect of the
majority and he expressed in the distinct minorities tongue. If Rama's successful
lankan campaign was the reason for her to burst the fire crackers he did it to
celebrate the fall of the mighty 'Mahishasura'. She bows in divine worship with
the one he finds his alarming appetite ringing. Even nature had ways to
distinguish them. He was a proof of the existence of the Sun God and she
represents the belle of the Himalayas.
Truth is still stranger than fiction (Read Truth Sucks!) and truth of the
matter is that not often we get to eat a promptly ripe mango. Platforms were
laid over periods and chains are not meant to be broken. A tiring wait in the
long queue may get them a ticket to heaven but the journey is still on. As the
strategy of the gentleman's game goes, take it session by session. Jumping the
final hurdle may still find the finishing line still a mile. Hey speeding
breeze, pass through the backwaters, for you are the one who is to help my
friends be fresh as ever.
