beautiful tragedy

"That's it.

That was my story. 

A girl sitting beside me. Another girl, who dedicated her life to me. My mom, dad, and the lanes of Banaras. And my body, that had left me.

I could've got up, but for whom?

I could've screamed, but for whom?

My love, Zoya, Banaras, Bindiya, Murari..

they were all slipping away. 

But, what would I have stayed back for? 

The fire inside me could've kept me alive or kill me.

But why get up now?

Who's got the courage to fall in love again...

I can still get up for her.

But no, I am not in the mood anymore.

It's better to close my eyes. To get into deep slumber.

But I will get up some day. 

To run in those lanes. To fall in love with some Zoya again."

 

                 - Raanjhanaa (2013)

  

They say it right. Who has got the courage to fall in love again. Who has the strength to bet with time again, we are going to lose anyway. I don't know when we will see light. I don't even know if light exists or not anymore. But it's beautiful. Our empty stories, broken hearts, feelings running wild like some blind child seeing daylight for the first time. It's a miserable tragedy, and it's beautiful.
