My Blabbering: Memories

Memories are quite stubborn beings. They follow you, no matter wherever you go and whatever you do, and at times you carry it like a dead man. The past may be done with, but in the present, you are always part of it. And, when a dear one dies, you want to hold on to him/her with the help of only memories.

The death and loss of dear one takes time to sink in, especially when you have not seen him bedridden. When you are far away from the person, you always live with the hope that you are going meet or him or her soon even if this soon may take a decade. You live with the hope of meeting.

Veer had not met his brother for good seven years. He was angry and the feeling that his big brother abandoned him and the family was killing him, but the respect and love for the brother did not shrink a bit. He was seeking plenty of answers but I doubt, if he had got the chance to meet Jai, he would have asked even a single question.

The news shattered his hope of a meeting for ever and the feeling of loss slowly wrapped him in its gloomy and dark cloak. The breakdown, and then the practical realization to see if there is a way to enter the house of his brother, quite normal isn't it. The watchman cum keyman who broke the news gave him the keys.

He stepped in, holding his shattered and broken self, looking for signs of big bro, rummaging through the book shelf and corners of the house to touch the presence. The brother smiled back from a photo frame, and it opened an outlet for the memories to gush from the past. The complete breakdown was quite dramatic.

The flashback scene: Both the brother sitting on a bench at a picturesque location, and having a brotherly conversation. Presenting each other the same gift -- a watch (Veer finds the watch in the house), and Veer acting like a kid ... was he crying ... not eager to take the flight out of India to U.S. I like the actor who is playing the elder brother, and I think, we might get to see more flashbacks.

A loss of yours does not stop any kind of celebration. At the hotel, Raj organized a small get-together to celebrate the best hospitality certificate. There is a class hierarchy in the mind of everyone, and Minnie is quite class conscious, does not like Ayesha offering a pastry (looked like a cupcake to me) to the cleaner. Raj jumps in and lets the old man eat it. The scene pathetically shot and not at all required. Looks like, the creative wanted to show that Raj is a distant cousin of Ayesha when it comes to goodness, or, it's an indication that he will turn evil.

Parminder cares about Ayesha and Nikhil, but also cares about her job. She wants Nikhil out and reminds Ayesha that there is only a day left for her to do that. Ayesha jumps to the terrace, and asks a pendant to show her the way -- her sister's pendant.

Pendant may have shown a way by falling on the ground, but Ayesha cannot decipher it at the moment. Ayesha knows how to jump, may be she is one of the Jumpers.

Veer did a much better job today, but still not impressive. The director and the cameraman need to pull-up their socks.

Quote: "A moment lasts all of a second, but the memory lives on forever."
