Two Halves of a Whole

Two halves of a whole.

I am not respectable, but you think I am.
When together, I do want to be respectable.
But when apart, I see no redeeming virtues in me.

I think you are special, but you don't think so.
When together, you feel so special to me.
But when we are apart why don't you see that you are indeed special?

I see in you immense reserves of strength.
When together, I know you have the potential to set off fireworks in your life.
But when we are apart why do you settle for the ordinary?

I see in you jagged edges.
When together, I see your edges fit mine seamlessly.
But when we are apart why do these edges make us bleed?

I see in you the beauty of a pure soul.
When together, this beauty permeates me.
But when apart why do you stop knowing this?

I see in you what you refuse to see for yourself.
When together, I share this vision with you.
But when apart why do you doubt?

Good Beginnings!

Just created a space for myself and dont know what to write here. But do know that i needed a space to vent,to muse,to express,to generally be silly! Lets see how it goes!

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
