Aishi's Giraffe

Movie : The Sky Is Pink (2019)

Director : Shonali Bose

Family is all about love and support. Having a sibling is one of the most wonderful feelings in the world. Even though we hate them for very little things, we can’t picture a world without them. An elder sibling could play multiple roles in our life. He or she could be our parents, teacher, best friend and an advisor, all at once. Sometimes, they are the only one to read you like an open book. The love they have for you is unconditional!

When Ishan first got to know he will soon be an elder brother, his happiness had no bounds. From the day Aishi was born, unknowingly he started to become that loving, caring elder brother. Even though his little sister’s arrival only made things difficult, he never complained about it. The absence of his mother’s presence at home definitely made him sad. But he recovered that too because everything was doing to make his little sister happy and perfect. 

Throughout her life, Aishi’s Giraffe stood beside her as her strongest support system. He always had something in his sleeves to make her feel better. He realised that the suffering of his family might make him too weak to even give her strength. That was the only reason he chose to stay away for a while. He always buried all his emotions deep within him. When Aishi reached out to him with her fears, as always he eased her mind. But the buried emotions showed up soon after when he throws his bag in frustration. It frustrated him that there is nothing he could do to save his Aishi. In her last moments, when he told her how much he loved her, he was vulnerable with the grief. The song he made for her is as priceless as their relation. Aishi must be routing for her giraffe from her pink gulabi sky after listening to the song over and over again...
