Tears

Tears
It's been a while since my eyes were dry,
I can not remember the last time my pillow wasn't soaked in tears.

I can not remember when it was last that my morning did not start with a whimper and a tear rolling down my cheek.

I try to remember the good times,
but they just make me cry harder.

I try to type through misty eyes.
Then with tears I delete it all.

With watery eyes I scroll through my contacts and see your number,
Then with tear wet fingers I close the app.

With moist eyes I check for messages across all apps,
Then sobbing helplessly I exit them all.
After all what would happen?

Are there enough tissues to soak my tears?
Will these ever stop?
Shall my heart ever be pain free?

When will these tears stop?
If they will stop only when my heart stops beating, then so be it...

I will it all to stop now...
Now please ...

Thappad

Thappad The prelude to the aria that is Thappad, is a dizzying runabout of a homemaker's humdrum daily chores. It serves to establish the roles each character has established for themselves. The husband played by newbie, Pavail Gulati is wonderfully self-obsessed and completely oblivious to anything but his own needs. The wife played by Tapsee Pannu ( as if we didn't know! Ha ha!) is on the other end of the spectrum. She is hyper aware of the needs of all those around her and revels in being needed and being able to be of service. The nuances that are written into the script are sheer brilliance. Consider the opening montage introducing the main characters to us. The wife being driven about, the girlfriend being received with love and finally a super successful lawyer finding freedom in hanging out a car window. The conversation that ensues between all of them, sketches skillfully the back stories of the lot of them. The movie is far from being a chest beating comment...

Protests! Candle-light vigils! Banners! Placards! Demonstrations! Human Chains! We can do it all .... but the question is how often can we do it,and why should we have to do it at all? And why do we do it at all when our memories are so short! Here today ....And gone tomorrow seems to be the order of the day.But if this has genuinely sparked something inside us then we should keep that spark alive. We need to become a people that we can be proud of... Let us indeed protest....... but protest the indifference that has crept into our lives. Light a candle..... but do it to dispel the darkness that has engulfed our hearts. Wave a banner....... but let it carry a message of love for your close ones. Hold a placard....... but write appreciation on it for all that is good and pure. Demonstrate...... show that you care. Make human chains.... but a hold a hand to help someone,to console, to offer solace. Love and Peace
