Devil's Heart....


Yesterday was one of those days when Murphy’s law was on its full power... anyways in Mumbai a raining cloud keeps on following me where ever I go so much so that I have forgotten the feel of dry feet and good shoes... trying to concentrate on letting my feet and my shoes survive the Mumbai waterfall.... anyway with a nice sun charming its way through the clouds `m pretty sure the days of wet feet and bad shoes are over.... :D
But anyways my shoes were not something I wanted to talk about... after being stranded in suburbs for the last fortnight I decided to go where the autos can’t go and u have to take a taxi... the one and only Pheonix mill... Now phoenix mill has some significance to me, I have gone there every Saturday for 2 years while working close by... and it was also the place where I have had one of the best dates of my life... but again that’s not what this post is supposed to be all about...
It’s just that I again saw a movie- The Proposal.... and it just occurred to me how important small things become when bigger ones are absent... Ok first things first, it was no different from thousand other movies which have been made on similar themes and have similar ending... so don’t go for it expecting a revelation, but it was sweet and different in its own way... in fact the same way in which all these corny movies are sweet and cute... but here things were a little different we had the girl realize that some things are more important than a career or a high flying job and it’s not LOVE (thank god for that), its family... I like Sandra Bullock but I just kept picturing meryl streep as the bitchy boss... Sandra Bullock has an inherent sweetness which really can’t carry of the burden of being a bitch... but in spite of that she was pretty good... I LOVED Ryan Reynold he was too cute... I just fell for his eyes... WOW!!!!...
The best moment in the movie was the end... I am a big fan of frank confessions and I liked it when at least they acknowledged the fact that people are difficult to stay with and that is why they remain single and anyone who knows any better will stay out of it... but then people have a little tendency to do what is best for them... it’s always what the heart wants and I have realized it after much pain and suffering and spending some really miserable hours in my own moping company to know that the heart wants what it cannot have and what is definitely not good for it...
In fact I have come to believe that if the mind is the god, heart is definitely the devil... nothing good ever comes out of following the path shown by it... if anything that’s the way you should avoid for sure... but I know that it just doesn’t matter how much profoundly correct the statement sounds we shall always be a bunch of heart sick people who will do anything to oblige the heart and who will be happy to suffer again and again till it gets what it wants... and that’s the time when we believe that we will be truly happy... till something new comes along and wakes the devil up again...
