me, movies and melancholy!
Watched this movie called "Hazaron_Khwahishen_Aisi" yesterday..
it is such an awesome movie.. i kept crying towards the end.. This one was utterly realistic and so depresssing!
Ah! for that matter, I am the queen of crying-while-watching-movies :D I just find anything and everything , very touching and very carry-me-away types! Few share this trait with me.. and those who do.. ah.. I love them!.. :D
My mom is one great accomplice.. but sadly I havent had the chance to watch many movies with her of late..
then there was Neha in BITS.. we used to find even stupid movies like 'mujhse dosti karoge' very languishing... everyone used to make fun of us.. while we would secretly sit in her hostel room and watch the senti dialogues of Hritik Roshan over and over again.. and discuss its emotional value!
Even Shalini was quite a pro in sharing tears while watching movies.. I remember once when both of us were sitting in the TV room, with our dinner plates half full.. eyes stuck on the TV screen... gaping at it with mouth wide open ; not wanting to miss a single emotion... and watching the end sequence of this movie called "If Only".. in which Paul Nicholls dies. I dont think either of us finished our food after that.. We were so deep in melancholy!
The most embarrassing of this was my behaviour during "Veer Zaara". I really acted like one big buffoon, I swear! I had gone to watch this movie with a distant relative of mine(whom I had barely known, and my aunt had raved to him about me .. saying that she is quite a good company.. you guys must meet up in Bangalore... blah blah..!)
So, it was CAT 2005 then.. and we decided to meet after that.. for this dumb movie called Veer Zaara. I was quite comfortable with the title, coz it sounded pretty neutral!
Often I have ended up watching inappropriate movies with people .. I mean, you wouldnt obviously want to watch "Jawani Diwani" with your parents..
But I did!! It was embarrassing. Though my mom kept trying to make a conversation during the movie.. as to what to cook for dinner etc.. We were hence thrown out of the movie hall, coz of repeated complaints by the goons sitting infront of us, who were apparently getting disturbed by non-serious audience.!!! duh!!!
[... Ok, But thats a separate issue, I'll talk about that incident later! :). ]
Hmm.. so back to Veer Zaara. Since I didnt know this chap much, I thought a movie would be the best deal.. coz there will be no scope of talking... But little did I know, that when Veer would meet Zaara after 22 years - it would sweep me too into an emotional turmoil!!! Initially I started sobbing.. but when it started playing -- 'tere liye.. hum hain jiye.. har aansoon piye.." I started weeping like no one's business!
hehe!! this guy turns around to look at me.. and was taken aback to see my state!! He, on the other hand, was so far busy passing comments on the movie alongwith other light-hearted audience.. But when he saw me.. he probably felt a little embarrassed. Haha!! I still remember the look on his face..
I was busy sobbing.. when he whispered to me - "Are you ok? You need something? " and I nodded in denial.
We did not speak a word, after coming out. He looked scared and just told me that he'd call later.. and made me sit in an auto.. (coz I insisted that I was paranoid with bikes and it was ok for me to go on my own.)
Needless to say, I never saw him again. :D
I have often wondered though, why am I like that.
No clue.
I sometimes just feel like a candle - made of wax. Just a lil bit warmth.. and boom!
That day, when Ash's mom was leaving from Bangalore.. She'd been with us for about a week or so... and she just hugged me before she got into the cab. Pretty normal, hmm?
Perhaps not!
Coz when I saw her sitting in the cab.. smiling and waving back.. I could feel the tears in my eyes... I dont know wat I felt.. but it just made me want to cry..
Why? Can someone tell me what was there to get senti about.. :(
Sigh! dont know man! May be thats the way they made me!! never mind!
got less work today.. so going to watch this movie called "Life in a Metro" now.. with Gnr. He is also as jobless as me! :D
(Yeah yeah.. I have carried those tissues with me ;-).. )
so long!! adios!
