Inevitably, it is the people whom we love the most that end up hurting us the most too. Wise ones advise us not to get emotionally invested in anything evanescent and ephemeral, but can we really, as fragile humans, be so detached as that? We who frown if so much as our usual coffee mug goes missing, or someone else takes that coveted seat on the local tube? Not to mention graver issues like the loss of a loved one. Excepting those who delude themselves into thinking relationships need not be prioritised, who take them for granted, isn't life all about the moments in between, those flashes of clarity which reveal to us who and what shall prevail, if we are paying attention? I believe so. May you be prudent enough to do the same. Else, in the next blink, everything may go topsy-turvy, leaving you with piles of regret.
Today, I got a chance to behold the changing art scene in my country, on attending a film festival of sorts.Filmmakers seem to be reacting to the noise on and off celluloid, through mostly silent creations.I list a few of my favourites here: A Beast Called Beauty - directed by Aakanksha Chitkara Maybe because I am a woman living at a time when India is renowned for objectification of and heinous crimes against women, this documentary film struck me the most and inspired this post.The film voices the common woes of our sex racked by the rigid concepts of beauty set by the society; a situation only worsened by the marketing techniques of fairness creams and other beauty products.However,the movie ends on a happy note, with the featured females professing to have realised that they have accepted who they are, and are content with themselves.I hope every girl out there does the same.
