Losing in love

I wonder why the concept of losing in love seems to fire up the imagination of authors and Film-makers alike. Pick up any Thomas Hardy Book- and u will be sure to come across the protagonist silently suffering in love- Check out " The Woodlanders", " Tess", "Far from the Madding Crowd"- this plot exists in abundance- be it Tess or Marty or Gabriel Oak - they are all Victims of circumstances- always loving someone who doesn't reciprocate their feelings- making small and big sacrifices for that special someone who means the world to them and in the end they are left bitter, sad and waiting for someone who never comes home. Check out some of the Hindi Movie lovers- Devdas, Umrao-jaan, Ajay Devgan's character in HDDCS, Rekha's role in Mukkadar ka.....- characters who are popular for their undying love -some of them got into a self destructive mode on unfulfilment of their love. These people are ready to sacrifice everything for their loved one- and end up spoiling their lives....Marty waits endlessly for Giles, Giles gives up his life for Grace, Tess commits suicide, Devdas commits suicide indirectly and so on.....

Its a beautiful concept to think of- eternal love that does not excapt anything in return.
However I would like to see and read about characters who rise , gather the pieces of their broken dreams and build a new life again. Life moves on- its a journey full of unexpected twists and turns. It is nice to be in a situation full of happiness and joy. But if dreams don't come true-what happens then- its a decision that the individual- either cling on to a perfect dream or move on to something more real.
I would go for the latter always....
Its difficult - but its more practical, more real.
So am waiting for a Movie where they show the protagonist falling and then rising again like a phoenix...
In fact losing can just make one learn the tricks of the trade better and gear him/her for success next time...

Ode to a Friend

This is for my friend who no longer exists as a friend- the friendship has ended...but I still hope........

Thank You for being there when I needed you most, those were days when things were not going right for me. And you were there holding my hand giving me the much needed strength.

Its been a long journey since then....and we have always been there for each other unconditionally. But somewhere down the line things went wrong- I erred...and hurt you.

No excuses my friend- I made a mistake....

And that's that........

I hope u r fine where ever you are.....

If ever you need me just give me a call-"hum hain wahin hum the jahan........"
