Reverberations :

I dunno what does one say to things and happenings which happen once and are reflected again and again within a short span of time...I think I would call them reverberations.

In my last post I was dwelling on matters of heart and soulmates, wondering how perfect or imperfect life gets without their presence. I won't be stupid to say that a movie gave me 'gyan' which would be treasured for a lifetime....no nothing so dramatic yet something....something that makes one wonder how perfect some lives could be, but they are not.

I saw the movie 'Before Sunset' just now. Did not know any of the actors ...nor heard of the movie, Tan's got the DVD from US and I saw it because the food was no good and I needed some distraction while eating. The two characters meet unexpectedly. They had met once for some hours 9 years ago and as fate has it meet , interestingly and keeping with serendipity at a bookstore.

The author(male lead) chronicles their meeting in a book, which becomes a bestseller. The woman reads the book. What happens next is beautifully scripted, so touching and so wishfully romantic. How perfect they would have been and made the imperfectness of their present lives.

The dialogues are beautiful (a tad boring for some maybe) and the performance .... real. The sequence is unhurried, for all the time elapsed.......I donot have anyother word but 'soulmates'(I know ..I know it's so trite, but watch it before judging).

I started with food and a movie and am left with food for thought.

LOVE ALL !!


This is the after effect of having visited Prasad's blog and getting all the feed on Tennis, the glam gals and the star's girlfriends and .......and the Love-tag!

This love tag has actually left me very disconcerted....maybe because I know in a few years time I would be getting married and also because i doubt that I would be able to meet my 'Soul mate' when I do....well, it is a very romantic concept of having a 'soulmate' in life.......seems everyone has one but very few are able to find them.........hmm......does that then mean that if I marry someone who is not my soulmate then he does not have another one too..........Is it exclusive then...dunno :-?

And then the practical streak in me would be shaken from its fitful slumber........reality does look like a nightmare at times.....lolz....and counters, does one really have a perfect fit , a perfect match.......noo....by my experience..mamma and papa did not even meet once before they got married....and didi and jiju ....my my they have such an interesting story too.........but then i cannot see how they could have found a better match! So setting the premises the conclusion follows that we do not really have soul mates.......a certain compatability yes but Perfect....nah....little chances. So then what I am musing is that we 'Make' things perfect around us......find a pattern in the asymmetry and love being loved and then as Joey says........'All the caring nd sharing and loving and giving..........' That was such a hilarious episode ..... Joey presiding over Monika and Chandler's marriage.......and the only qualification he has ......... he is an ACTOR everbody!!

And my thoughts flowing free........Monika and Chandler start seeing each other only after the have known each other for ages.........Gawd.....love has such surprises.....and then what brought them together was a chance meeting in London...... :P My my life is so funny with God having such a supreme sense of humour........

Don't really know what surprise God is planning to send my way.......will be surprised, Act surprised atleast :D
