The last segments of the song "Aaromale" from the movie "Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya" show a re-union of sorts between two people. The guy thinks he has permanently lost the girl from his life, when all of a sudden she jumps back into his life, out of nowhere. Seperated in Chennai, the couple re-unites themselves in New york amidst a film (within the film) shooting. Those sequences are wonderfully picturized in the song under the beautiful backdrop of a bridge. Well, something similar happened in my life too.
The happening:
It was Day 2, Shaastra 2010 (thats October 1st). I was having my breakfast in the grub stalls (I was having Pongal and Onion Uthappam if I am not mistaken) with the EP core of Shaastra. I was just finishing my onion uthappam when my eyes caught the side view of a white+blue chudidhar at about 150 metres from the stalls (near the big dice that was erected). It just caught me for a fraction of a second--and my mind was racing--"could this be the Aaromale equivalent in my life?". After a second I looked again and this time I almost confirmed it was. I was in downright disbelief as the uthappam was still struck in my mouth. I was too shocked to believe this! So I had one more look--and there I confirmed! It was that woman, whom I thought had walked off from my life nine months ago. I never imagined to see that girl in years, never imagined I would see her at IITM, never imagined I would see her at Shaastra and never imagined I would see her that very day! I was beginning to push that woman from my life-yet she just bounced back from nowhere (yet again). And I couldnt but just admire the skills of my eye--it just took me a fraction of a second to notice her (that too I didnt notice her face-on. It was from the side).
I followed her and noticed that she seated herself on the mini stage that was erected near the dice. I quickly wrapped up the remaining uthappam, turned down the EP core's offer to go round the exhibition stalls and walked towards the dice. I was a little nervous all through my walk, partly due to disbelief and the rest in the diffidence I had about my eye-sight. I was wondering what to say if it was a wrong woman. But I didnt know what I was going to say had I met the right woman-anger and surprise was catching me short of words and expectations. Finally I turned over the other side of the dice, the side that she was seated and found that my eyes didnt lie. It was a deluge of emotions-happy that I had spotted her out of nowhere, anger on her walking off from my life and surprise that she turned up all of a sudden. I was also acknowledging the brilliance of Gautham Menon, director of "Vinnai Thaandi Varuvaya" in depicting those sequences so beautifully. I felt those few minutes of my life to be a beautiful depiction of those scenes in real life.
I spent most of the day with her, trying to sort some things out. It was also one of the longest chats that I had. It came out to be a nice experience on the outset.
Moral:
a.Film incidents can happen in real life too. And when they happen and if you are able to relate to them--the beauty just strikes you down! Those few minutes of extrapolation are just so beautiful in life! Never miss them.
b.You can trust your eyesight, especially if you are a teenager (or round about that).
