Dear Readers,
After a gruesome stay in Bikaner during the peak summer season, I scooted off down south to witness a bountiful monsoon in the western ghats and if this was not enough to make life seem beautiful, there came another gift out of the blue. Recently, on a visit to Delhi, I found history in all its charming regalia showering its affection on me.
I met a wonderful soul who was as gorgeous from within as from the outside. Together we unraveled the deep ties of the mysterious bond that kept us together since time immemorial but which only recently could be realised. We both had a historical narrative to offer to each other which included tales of the land from where we came and of change and of continuity. While all this mutual exploration was on, we chanced upon a masterpiece cinema that left us both suspended in the vacuum of historical imagination and aesthetics.
All I can divulge at this point of time is the name of the movie, which happened to be 'Lootera'. The rich classy look of the movie matched with the poise of each and every character, which facilitated an easy transport to past. In my opinion the flick offered just the right blend of descriptions and insinuations and appeared to fit the period mould perfectly as performances and story line never really transgressed the boundaries of drama to slip down into the territory of over-presentation. Yet, the most captivating part was played by the poetic company I had with whom, for once, I could share my 'sense of history'.....
