Lets not submerge in the noise of
silence.
I recently watched the movie "Roy", I generated a
strong feeling that I have to pen down my thoughts which evolved during the
journey of the movie.
Movie moves with dual stories on parallel planes. Both
stories are minutely stitched with each other.
A successful movie director, Kabir portrayed to be a loner,
is in the hunt for a new story for his upcoming sequel. A pack of smokes, glass
of scotch, type writer on the table, nothing passes his mind which can be
converted to a movie. He misses something, something unknown, or known but
submerged deep inside.
A loner, sometimes I wonder, is
loneliness a choice of an individual or it happens by chance. Human is a social
being, are we going against the natural law by creating loneliness for oneself
or there no such law. Does loneliness
help us to discover oneself, to
understand oneself, to increase mental strength, to take decisions of one's
life, to direct our thoughts the way we want than to allow others to rule them,
to feel the sense of real freedom when questions and answers do not accompany
your actions, where time is under your control, where happiness and sadness,
tears and smiles is felt by oneself.
Loners are developed on two
dimensions. Under confidence, wherein our thoughts are ruled by others, wherein
fear swallows our mind and we fail to live, reasons can be many, we find
ourselves alone. Another dimension wherein confidence is at its peak, an
individual who believes in his/her dreams and feels association with another
individual is unnecessary, who feel, relationship is a burden or who have a
fear of attachment, even then we find
ourselves alone.
The
movie director catches a link and lands in Malaysia to shoot for his upcoming
sequel. On the land of glory, he encounters another famous director Ayesha who
is shooting for her movie. She strongly believes that the work of an individual
reflects his personality, it is a best way to understand an individual. The
interesting interaction of these creative directors sparks a relationship. He
finds his story in the relationship and flows his movie based on the real life incidents
with Ayesha.
His movie storyline ends with partition, distance, loneliness what, she believes is
the soul of Kabir, that forces her to part from Kabir. Words can lie, but the
work of an artist cannot.
Kabir
who has gone through 21 relationships , starts missing Ayesha. The question is ,
can an individual be a loner, does the loneliness loose its essence in the
absence of a real partner, does the loneliness covert to noise in the absence of
music, does the loneliness become a punishment without any purpose, does
loneliness become torture without the individual we love. This pain makes Kabir
change the end of his script to reunion and also makes Ayesha a part of his
life.
Loneliness leads to
freedom, right partner gives us the essence of freedom. So, it is not
loneliness, but the freedom that an individual wants. Even a sperm, after ideal
growth wants freedom from the mother's womb. So lets not create distance from
relationships, lets choose the right partner
