Chameli the movie stuck a strange chord in my heart today. I wonder why I like such movies. Weird stories that are built on emotions that are way beyond humane. How many such stories have I lived myself?
A walk down a mountain towards a lonely beach with nothing but the setting sun watching over me, a night under the starlit sky, a day amid a frenzied atmosphere. Promises made, promises kept. Every such story was short yet amazing. Not that I wanted any of them to be longer. All of them were just about perfect.
This movie reminded me of a time when I loved and was loved back. When I was on the streets with a stranger. Both of us stranded and lonely. With no other company and a whole night ahead. So we decided to keep each other's company. There were stories to be told and listened to. And we did. We spoke a lot about everything except each other's lives. Between words our silence kept us company. The mysterious smell of the night beckoned us to go on and speak our hearts out till the first ray of light hit the horizon.
This was the night when there was no romance but love. A love that connects us with the universe. A love that is not bound by the physical and emotional realms. A love that flows freely in the light of understanding. A love that is born out of words and culminates into silence. This was the love we lived for a night. We knew ,come dawn, we will have to return to each other's lives. But tonight was a gift. One where the choice to be anything was ours. Lovers, friends or any other relationship with a name. But we chose to be each other's nameless companions.
Companions who enriched each other's souls and parted ways never to meet again.
