Rumi


Rumi has been a serious discovery and I feel each verse is simple but cuts within layers of a conscience. Some that have truck a chord are:

 If I could say my feelings for Delhi in a way, this would be it - “Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along.” 

 “The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don't go back to sleep.” - For my insomnia that begins then.

  “My lips got lost on the way to the kiss - that's how drunk I was.” - To many evenings in Post Grad school staring at the sun go down. 

 “The lion is most handsome when looking for food.” - To renewed vigour and hunger for good work.

Patriotism for me was best depicted when SRK (in Swades) looks out of his window seconds before he is to set foot in India. Nothing describes detachment better than the wheels of a plane seconds after take off. This was exactly the opposite - done brilliantly. Meanwhile, AR Rahman used only 5 notes of the shehnai for SRK & the audiences to feel homesick repeatedly in the film. Even those who were in India felt homesick/guilty. The first film in a long time that did not show patriotism in the light  of violence, hatred and turbulent times and still struck a chord with the audiences. Wonder where the wiser filmmakers are hiding now or are the scripts. PS: This was also a rare time when an SRK films made sense to me. (I know this comment will draw flack for me)
