Theme 23 - Movie

16th December 2012, a fine winter evening followed by a brutal and inhuman rape. Internal organ failures, scars covering the whole body and a memory so disgusting that it kept killing her every day at the hospital bed. She wouldn't have imagined what returning late from an Oscar winning movie would later cost her.

Late night horror movie. Not again! I opposed the plan as usual. They tried to convince me, but what's the sense in expecting circle to have edges? When I say no, it’s a NO.

Broken dreams, shattered hopes and a fractured self-confidence. He assumed that nothing would change for the better anymore. There was no light at the end of the tunnel. And suddenly, a lifetime opportunity came his way. An opportunity he was longing for since so long. His own heroics suddenly made him feel like Bruce Wayne.

Riya realized there is no fun in watching movies when she went for it without her friends. The sharing and snatching of popcorn; comments in between; tickling the friends and a noise from back from an elder person sit quietly. Haha!
Simple moments are turned into memorable ones when you have friends with you every time.

Sunsets, waves, rains, the adrenaline rush, entangled hands, freedom, love.
All the things she dreamed.
Everyone said this happened in movies.
She proved them wrong.
Found her picture perfect dream in 'him'.

Make believe, express, feel, retain, live, express, experience, joy, happiness, eagerness, teenage, adolescence, bad, petty, majestic, practical, mature, materialistic, never ending, abstract. . .
Right from your birth until you are dead, this film called "Life" goes on, so don't just watch but also do act, because it's fun after all!!

I could feel goose bumps on my arms. Tears rolled down my cheeks, following a big, sweet smile on my face. This video could be reversing for those who considered me to be a shy girl. We'd been crazy like anything! Full-fledged frolic!
Today I realized what actually School Nostalgia was.

Heaven. A film convention.
Hundreds of ghosts of famous directors.
Amongst them was Mr. Rohit Shetty.
His film ''Heaven Express" had just grossed hundred crores. Leering with glee, he announced "I am proud of this movie".
Someone snorted. "You call this a movie?"
The room fell silent.
The ghost of Mr. Spielberg had just arrived.

As we came out of the hall Ved asked "How was the movie? Who was the hero?" she looked at me, I looked at her.. Ved's questions remained unanswered but we got our answer.

We could kiss very passionately in the dark hall, but he didn't.
We could at least sit arm in arm, but he didn't.
I wanted to lay my head on his shoulder, but he didn't.
I watched us in the couple in the movie, but he didn't.

I bumped into him at a friend's party, liked each other in an instant. Exchanged numbers, chatted all days long. Met for coffee the next week. I was clearly falling for him. But I lost my heart when he texted me this:
“Movie at my place, this weekend?
PS, I Love You.”
…what a move, mister!

हड़बड़ाहट में चिंटू की दवाइयां ढूंढते हुए मेरे हाथ उसी शाम की एडवांस में बुक की हुई स्मिता के पसंदीदा हीरो के फ़िल्म के २ टिकट लग गए। तभी पीछे से माँ ने आवाज़ लगाते हुए कहा। बेटा। शाम ढलने को है, अब तो स्मिता का देह अंतिम संस्कार के लिए ले जाना होगा।

ये लाइफ भी कितनी फिल्मी है!
कभी हसाति है, कभी रूलाती है...
कभी अगले सीन के लिए तड़पाती है, कभी अंजाने मे ही कुछ अच्छा कर जाती है...
एक पल मे टकरार, अगले मे खूब सारा प्यार...
अगर आप समझते हैं की ये लाइफ का खेल है तो.. अहाां!
दोस्तों, ये तो उपर बैठे डाइरेक्टर की फिल्म है!
