I saw Dhobi ghat recently
The movie refuses to leave my mind
All the complexities of relationships are so subtly captured
Sohaib....in love with Shai....who belongs to completely other world
Shai.... in love with Arjun....an artist who is not really into her....and takes her casually
And Arjun.... in love with the girl in video tapes.... he is completely immersed into her world which she is trying hard to make colourful in her own way...and which is virtual....all the more so because she is dead...
Everyone is in intensely into something which is so obviously not going to work out....and equally ignorant about person who loves him/ her so intensely....
Its funny.... I guess love and logic dont seem to get along too well
And all this on background of death news of one of Dad's childhood friends...
I was so happy that alas I am getting to spend a day on my own....but ....
Death news dont seem to stop...
It started with Bhaikaka...then Dad's cousin....then Mom's two uncles....then my boss....I stopped counting when the number was 6..... this news must be 10th or 12th one....
All of them passed away suddenly....quietly....without any prior signs....
You start your day like any other day....then a phone call....and then you know something somewhere is not the same anymore....
I dont know what is scarier....fear of my own sudden death....or fear of loosing my loved ones suddenly...
Both are equally ugly....
