The Power of Love !

I saw “Fanaa” starting Aamir Khan and Kajole yesterday and it made me ponder a lot besides making me weep through so many scenes…It is a well scripted and beautifully shot film. In-depth understanding on the subject of love and relationships on part of the script writer and director was so relevant.

It was quite a refreshing change in times when “LOVE” seems to have lost its true meaning and become some sort of a joke. In today’s time people fall in and out of love and relationships so easily. It’s movies and film makers like these who reinforce faith and belief of die hard romantics like us that the concept of “ True Love” still exist. Yes has its shades, needs nurturing, tolerance, maturity, immense patience, sacrifices and understanding to sustain it. But isn’t that an ingredient to build any relationship, be is companions, parent - child, friendships, siblings etc.

What I really appreciated in the film was the portrayal Love in its different shades…Impulsiveness, Intensity, Sacrifices, Acceptance, Sharing, Anger, Strong healing powers and yet something when balanced well that maintains your individual space and values. Some wise one once very rightfully said to me “Don’t fall in love but Rise in love” I think now I understand it better than what I did then. However different people have different understanding of love … a friend of mine on discussing this subject of people falling out of love so easily, candidly mentioned “ Its just an emotion like any other …don’t our emotions change so why should love be treated differently” While his argument sounded rational but some how I wasn’t convinced. I may sound from the old school of thoughts where I believe strongly that if we really want something to work in our life and relationships we will ensure we put are best foot forward. I have seen couples who truly are an example of this …be it my parents, My friends who were my pillar of strength in my worst phase of life ,this friend of mine who stood by and loves his wife dearly who is suffering from acute arthritis at a very young age and many more such people. It isn’t that life hasn’t brought trials in their lives but they stood by each other for the sake of love and care for each other. All this just reinforces my belief that “Love enriches you as person, it heals and the fact true love still exist “and some day it will come my way too :-)
