The Night Jasmine

Movie : October(2018)
Director : Shoojit Sircar


Love.. A word with so many meanings, so many emotions and so many expressions.. Though each one has its own uniqueness. 
October was a movie which showed the not-so-popular side of love. The kind of love which was never discussed. An emotion which never got the importance it’s needed. 

What Dan felt for Shiuli was love. Yes. But not the kind which we see daily. His love for Shiuli depicted the love between two humans. It may not be romantic. But still, his love was selfless. Why he felt the responsibility to take care of Shuili? Even Dan couldn’t answer this. Still, without any hesitation, he fulfilled his duty. The duty of a person to help another person in need. 


Although he needed answers from her, Dan never tried to confront her. When everyone else isolated Shiuli, he felt a responsibility to stand by her side. But eventually both of them started to depending on each other. Even though he tried to pull away, he knew it was too late..


The Shiuli flower (night jasmine) is always there throughout in the film. Shiuli is just like this flower. At once she fought and came back to life. But like the flower, this comeback too had a short life. Dan, who never cared about it before, ends up keeping it by his side always. And like the seasonal changes happens in October, the time he dedicated to Shiuli also brought changes in Dan. 


The movie definitely proves its title right. Yes, it’s not a live story.. It’s a story about love!!

Wake up, Life is calling

Life is not a pre-planned story. Like in film or drama, you can’t decide or plan the next scene. Even if you planned everything, there is no guarantee you will make it work. Every character in our life is not pre-decided. They come uninvited and leave unexpectedly. They make us feel safe but sometimes strange. Either they care about you or not. And it is unpredictable that who will remain by your side. They may be there when you need them or maybe not. The too much expectation of your s can leave you shattered. Sometimes the actions we do are the things which you didn’t intend to do, but end up doing so. The impact can be good or bad. But only know if we do it. Some of these can change our lives. The impact they make is unimaginable. If it results in tragedy, even if it is in the past, the incident will haunt you like a cursed soul. It could damage your whole life, but only if you let it do so. You are the one who has the ownership of your life. You can decide what should happen

They blamed :: That was harsh, he was a good guy.. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I replied :: Just because he is a good guy and he cares for me, it doesn't mean that I too should feel same for him.. More over it is impossible for me to love him back with the same intensity as he do.. He deserves someone better than me, who would love him back with the same intensity as he do..
