Damn it even the subconscious has to be reprogrammed.
Its sad how we become attached/grieve something after it leaves us.
If we were to fully understand that everything is going to let go.. maybe the love could heal the pain quicker..
I was watching Heavenly ever after (bless the writer's ability to soothe grieving hearts) and there is a beautiful scene where the Leader of Heaven becomes an artist for the people the Heaven-dwellers have left behind on Earth. He draws the answers to the people's questions and sends it to them in their sleep.
I couldn't stop crying.
Call me selfish, or call me a staunch hindu for believing that spirits exist, souls exist and that our people don't really leave us. They're always with us. Believe that.
Does something have to go wrong everytime something starts ?
Is it god's plan to demolish ego?
the way One Tree Hill is so criminally underrated makes me want to go to war
Like I’m watching Sophia, Hilarie and Joy break down in their rewatch pod and I HAVE THOUGHTS
Highkey dont want it to enter the current social media wave. I want the curious souls to discover and love one tree hill.
Happy 20 years One Tree Hill
I can't believe it's been 20 years since OTH first aired their pilot episode. Unfortunately, I didn't grow up watching the show (I was 6 when it first aired, lol), but I first watched in 2018 as a big ass 21 year old lmao.
I remember avoiding the show because I genuinely thought it was another basic teen drama, but my God was I wrong. Sure, the show has its questionable moments, but overall, the feeling I get when watching it is comfort. There's no other show that makes me feel the comfort OTH does. Nathan Scott, in particular, is probably my favorite TV character of all the shows I've seen. Watching his journey from the typical "asshole" jock in season 1 all the way to the loving husband and father in season 9 is so beautiful. Seeing his relationship with Haley contributes heavily to the comfort I feel watching the show. Naley is my favorite TV couple. I've never seen a couple on another show like them. Through their good and bad times, they made it. 9 seasons of their love, and it got stronger as the series went on. It's truly beautiful to watch. Not to mention the chemistry between the two actors. Thanks to James and Joy, Naley will go down in history as one of, if not, the best TV couple.
I can't make this post without acknowledging the strength of all the females involved in the show. He who shall not be named will not taint OTH for me nor take away all the tears/sweat these actors put into this show. THEY made the show what it is, and I greatly appreciate all of them for how brave and strong they are.
Happy 20 year anniversary, One Tree Hill. You silly show about basketball, friendships, relationships, love, and life.
Saiyaara Post
The first thing that hit me was- that it was a very well made movie. All the elements were in place and that formula worked for most of India. Throughout the music, our characters are singing about pain and loss and the transformative power of love. In Dhun he states, his 4 walls are his home and that he doesn't have a lot on him to give. In Humsafar he is singing "chahat duniya mein sabse behtar marham hain yaara". Barbaad is sung to show his rejection of love out of fear, "tere aane se dard chala jayega, isi baat ka darr hain mujhko", It's not very new that pain can trick the brain to see it as a comfortable space to sink in. But joy isn't supposed to be lived in crumbs. Vaani steps in to show him that. In Tum Ho Toh, he sings "Teri aakhon se lelu saare andhere tere, meri jaan baatenge milke saare savere mere", of course the song was made to talk about the transformative power of love. The man that saw no light, was dying to brighten the coming future with his love. Cliche? Yes. Powerful? Yes. Saiyaara is talking about her absence that becomes her presence in his life while still hoping to meet her some day again [How prophetic were his lines though? I can hear Saiyaara playing in all gullies in my neighbourhood]
I am glad she was aware that her condition was eating him and his career out. Vaani leaving everything behind so that he could work without being hurt by her- I don't know if I should call it bravery or recklessness. But is it love if there is no madness? This belief works in the world of cinemas, so I decided to enjoy it. The movie wants us to see it as Vaani's absence giving him a renewed reason to go back to music and excel in it.
I am thinking about Saiyaara song. The chorus- "tu toh badla nahi hain mausam rootha hain", I know he is talking about her alzheimer's but Tanishq baghchi has said this song helped him during his break up. The chorus is essentially talking about a relationship which love alone wasn't able to sustain and that has crumbled due to severe circumstances- long distance relationships, compatibility issues that can't be overcome, family issues, or health conditions like in the movie. I DO NOT think it applies to relationships where one person just chooses to stop being in love. If you are applying it there, it's pretty naive (correct me if I am wrong you're free to) If that person changes within a day, abandons you and you keep singing "tu badla nahi hain", it's naive, and a borderline Stockholm syndrome.
Another part I loved was "Main toh tere aasuon ka bana hu" from Barbaad. Probably he was talking about assimilating all her overwhelming emotions which made her cry= like happy tears, sad tears, angry tears, frustration tears. He is almost asking, "who am I if not for your emotions and thoughts?" Or he could be talking about the tears he shed when she left. He also says his laughs carry her echo. What a soul blend. Wow.
Krish kapoor represents the people who have experienced loss and pain and don't trust anything except that happiness eludes them. He sat and shared tables with the heavy emotions all his life and has tries to find his comfort in those emotions that stay as opposed to "happiness" which has been like a butterfly more than a permanent emotion in his life. Who wishes to risk another wave of sadness after happiness departs? He tells Vaani, "Happiness doesn't last long in my case", I am hesitant to call it a prophecy, but Vaani's Alzheimer's diagnosis might have assured that belief again. I think he was very brave, to choose to love and stay, while sidelining the bated breaths the anticipation of losing her any time. Whatever made him stay for her, definitely made us stay for the movie too. With whatever love she had planted in him, he decided to fight for their mutual happiness , excelling at his music was just a medium to reach to her. I always say "fate is a string of choices", that is to say if you wish to keep it, work for it. I am a big time avoider of regrets that come with not trying your best/ taking risks. I hate their existence and I try my best to expel them from my life. This movie was very much in line with all my beliefs so I loved it. I worked for me as well :) Saiyaara was good as it is. It did not need the whole violent crying reels😂 to go viral.
It's a bittersweet ending.
PS: I love that he drops her home on time. I absolutely adored it. I love these kinda men who respect my boundaries. Also, I loved how relieved ahaan's expression was when she yelled out his name in the mountains. Relief could have been shown in many ways, but he portrayed it so well, I could feel a broken man's struggle to meet his lover finally finding light.

The Shore - Barry McGlashan , 2023.
British, b. 1974 -
Oil on paper over panel , 12 1/4 x 8 1/8 in.
Some important things from Amazon Mini TV's 2023 series Slum Golf that stayed with me:
1) Tough times don't last, tough People do.
2) Pressure is a privilege. It only comes to those who earn it.
3) Doubts have broken more dreams than defeat will ever break.
4) You are what you believe.
The last one reminded me of "Aham Satya", which means what I am the absolute truth. Actions are propelled by these beliefs. I remember when I was preparing for my competitive exams in the late covid era, I had become a sloth. I'd open my books, and solve 2-5 sums everyday. That's all. That's probably not even 1% of number of tough sums the top scorers solve by the day. The loneliness had made me give up "Is there a place for me in this rat race? My classmates are way better than me, too much time has passed I can't dare to compete with them." I kept thinking.
After My results were announced, my dad had visited my school. On the banner, all my classmates had scored significantly lesser than me. That's when I realized. Wrong beliefs lead you in the wrong direction. I still have regrets.
Today again I find myself in the same place. I'm thinking so many people already have those skills who'll take me? And I have been halting my work.
I think I needed movies like Ata Thambaycha Naay and Slum Golf to help me realize how important belief is.
