It's 2am, yet my dream train has not yet arrived. An impromptu trip to watch Barfi has reignited emotions which were dormant for many days/ months & even years. Now, both my mind and heart are trying to sort out how to get my dream train back on track... Looks like it is going to be looong night...
Barfi reinstates the fact that Love is indeed blind. It does not care,
# if you are mute, as eyes can express what words can't.
# if you are deaf, as a sense of touch can make you understand what your ears can't hear
# if you are handicapped - mentally or physically as once you are in love, you don't care if your love is fat or skinny, sexy or ugly ... It just doesn't matter !!! ... Your mind starts to connect with their heart that you don't care about materialistic outer appearence but the truth inside!
When autistic Jhilmil feels jealous about Shruti's presence around Barfi, her possession when they reunite makes you wonder that Love does bring about jealousy and possessiveness though you don't wish for it. Your heart skips a beat when they are not around or they are with someone else. Though you feel happy about their life, work where your are not around but it does boil you a bit when you realize they do have a life outside your circle. As long as you can extinguish this spark before it starts flaming your heart, you are good. As they say "Jiyo aur Jeene do", you live as you like and let me live my way!
The other side of the coin is that if you are in their shoes, you tend to expect that jealousy and possessiveness. It always feels good when someone feels possessive about you and are little jealous (harmless) of your close friends. It makes you feel that someone cares for you!
Barfi also stalls my dream train as it tells you to follow your heart & be less materialistic. It also tells you that love need not be equal on both sides. The reason for love will not be same at both ends and in some unfortunate cases, you are just alone in love! And yet, like Shruti, you can continue to love Barfi though he may not reciprocate in similar fashion.
I guess, there is no end to this rant about love. Life moves on, time flies by... Do what you love, this way atleast you are happy!... It is like buying a gift for a friend, don't try to buy what they may like, buy something what you like... Someone remains content & happy at the end!
I need to follow what I preached and try to catch a bus to sleep... Will catch the Dream train some other day, probably tomorrow ;-)
