Hold my hand.

Hold my hand, take me somewhere far, 

far beyond the ambit of the truth,  

where the shadows of the reality won't lurk upon us, 

for I know that the truth doesn't seem endearing,

for I know that we can be together only in the unreality, 

for I know that the truth will tear me, 

So, hold my hand, take me somewhere far.

Saiyaara

Watched Saiyaara last night and I think it's one of the best bollywood has ever made. There is no complicated storyline or anything extravagant, the movie just tried to connect with every hopeless romantic's heart and handsdown it did. It depicted love in its purest form, selfless. The way Krish Kapoor yearned for her is a very rare perspective in today's selfish world, whereas Vaani potrayed the last step of love, letting go beautifully. Krish was ready to give up on his career for her, whereas Vaani was ready to give up her love to save his career. If this isn't the most ethereal form of love then I don't know what is. 

But, the only question that lingered in my mind after this film was whether this is even realistic? Is it even possible to love someone so much? What if I never find this type of love in my lifetime? This movie has left me with a sense of longing and loneliness. There is a void in me that can only be filled with a consuming, mad love.

Why do we compare?

When all of us were supposed to be different,

Then why do we compare?

Wasn't it supposed to be this way?

Every individual different than the other?

Then why do we aspire to be like someone else?

Why can't we just be happy with the way we are?

Why should I shape myself to look like another person when I was given everything of my own?

I have a face of my own, a body of my own, thoughts of my own and dreams of my own.

Then why do I compare myself with others?

Why do I want to be like her when I can be me?

Why is there a need for standards? Beauty standards, body standards? Why?

God gave us all unique features, not for us to establish any perfect standard but to feel different about ourselves.

Then why do we compare?

Someone was right, comparison kills creativity.

I saw a post today, it seemed like a happy one, the girl got into her dream uni and then she drops the bomb. She didn't go to her dream uni because HER PARENTS SAID NO?!?!? This is not just it. There were thousands of girls in the comments section relating to it. It's because they're all girls. However they would happily let their sons go. If this isn't patriarchy then idk what is. It's so disheartening to see that parents even in the 21st century are not permitting their daughters to achieve their dreams. Like how can you ever justify shattering your own daughter's dreams?
