Stop Loving

Stop Loving

The problem is never how to love?
How much to love isn't an issue either.

The biggest problem is how to stop?
Turning on the switch is actually ridiculously simple.
Sometimes the switch snaps on.
At other times it drops down with excruciating slowness.
Sometimes there is fuzzy logic involved.
But once the switch is on, you will find it a herculean task to turn it off.

However slowly the penny drops, once it is slotted, it's almost impossible to retrieve.
The penny at times hits a jackpot,
And your life is filled with riches.
At times the penny yields nothing and you move on.
But the tough part is when it was your last penny, and now it's gone and the casino is the only winner and you are left with less than nothing.
Whatever the case, you aren't seeing that penny again.

Falling in love is like being at the airport.
Most of us are able to board the flight correctly,
But some of us end up missing our flights,
In spite of doing it all right.
You have cleared security,
You are in front of the boarding gate,
And yet you miss the flight,
Through no fault of yours,
Your co-passengers have all departed with nary a goodbye....

Now you want to fall out of love?
Is that happening?
Nopes.....
You have a better chance of getting a refund on your ticket!

Monica, O My Darling

Straight off the bat, let me tell you that I went into this movie cold. I just saw the trailer and put it on my watch list. I was totally enamored with the cast and the premise. I knew I was going to watch this one, so I didn't delve into the promotional shenanigans.  So if you are of the same bent of mind, stop reading and start watching.  And on your behalf, I did Google Ankola, it is a town in Karnataka and is not to be confused with Akola in Maharashtra. Ha ! Ha! Netflix has been delighting us with gems like Raat Akeli thi, Haseen dilruba and Bulbul. Add this one to that list and think Gehraiyaan. I need not stress on the proficient star cast. They are masters of their craft. Starting with the sneaky Rajkummar Rao, the sultry Huma Quereshi and the wily Radhika Apte, the ensemble includes the creepy Sukant Goel, the beleaguered Zayn Marie and many others. For me Sikandar Kher was a standout. A shoutout to his intensity and his baritone.  The dialogues are spot on and t...

At times one sees people behaving in the most despicable way and one itches to say something. I witnessed such a wrong being perpetrated today and to my utter shame I just stood by and then later mutely walked away. Yes, there were others present and yes someone else could have said something. But none of us did. And neither did I. Exactly what is it that held me back? Maybe the thought that this wasn't my fight or the fact that I wanted to have no rep ercussions coming my way...... Whatever....... I didn't take a stand and I could have..... It's a shame I shall cart around for a while.... I wish I could turn back time, but I can't and knowing that so well today could possibly make me more stronger ahead.... Maybe......
