Just the other
day i was watching a Bollywood movie named 'hum-tum', which was intellectually inspired(that is the word used for 'a total rip off' in Bollywood) from the Hollywood classic 'when harry met sally'. in this Bollywood blockbuster the hero throws a line that caught my ear more
than any any dialogue that he romantically recites to his lover.he
says,"everybody’s
life is like a story book and when you meet other people their story
becomes a part of your book.
"
i
was really forced to think and ponder the depth of these lines.it's
so true our lives are like a story book adding chapters at each
moments that live by...the people we meet...we love...we hate...our
family...our loved ones...the girl whom you so much love...yet so
far...yet so near...the beggar that you daily pass by...ignoring his
pleading eyes...the child playing in the park reminding you of your
childhood....the old man sitting on the porch reading the morning
newspaper...reminding you of your grandfather whom you didn't have a
chance to meet...to play with...the lady waiting in front of the
school for her child to come back ...standing in the scorching
heat...still smiling....reminding the sacrifices that your mother had
made for you...the tiring man with a black briefcase in his
hand...striding slowly...reminding of your father's contribution to
your life...they all are here...they do matter...they made you the
man you are today...they fill the chapters of your life.....of
your story book.....
likewise...you
become a part of....a chapter of someone else's story
book...sometimes...a dedication on the second page...sometimes a line
or two in the preface....sometimes an one pager....sometimes the
whole book...an epic....and sometimes in the lines that states 'about
the author'....it doesn't matter whether you feature in any of the
areas....it matters that you do feature...even for a slight
moment...even for long ages...so the faces that you see...the hands
that you shake...the hearts that you touch...the eyes that you
meet...all of them matters....this is how our stories get
entangled...if you look them from the eyes of God...it seems that
same story of the universe is told and re-told from several different
perspectives...it is like God watching a multi-starrer film in which the
story line involves interwoven small stories...different
characters...different emotions...different sets...all intertwined to
make a epic classic...running for ages...since birth...
the mischievous question that pops in my head - "doesn't God get tired of the boring script??"
