Why is that Yash Chopra always managed to hit the bull's eye in Bollywood most of the time?? Because he sold good romance...More so...loving the idea of being in love.. My god! what a great feeling it was .. to be in love with love... the idea of a prince charming/princess, and a fairy tale followed by a happily ever after...i do not know much about the way men feel about the idea of being in love... but girls.. i know there is hardly anyone in my circle who at least at one point in time were bowled over by the idea!!! Yash Chopra brand of movies are popular with girls.. all time all ages..Though i am well past the age of falling in love with the ideas of being in love, i still like Yash Chopra brand of movies..just for the nostalgic value..it reminds me of days when i was younger and had so much to look forward to in life.
Well only after i was old enough that i realised the magic and importance of Yash Chopra movies.. ..Falling in love is a package deal.. not at all a rose garden but a bumpy mud road.. i could be smooth road, but could be really bumpy at times. However we would not realise till we get into a relationship and then when are about to say "oh! god what the hell did i do" it would be far too late .. reached a point of no return.. ..u simply cannot get back the innocence...the state when you never knew what it actually it is to fall in love and try to be in love ...Man that's the most difficult thing in the world.. wonder how people manage to be in love for ages..i wonder if there are such people after all. Whats beautiful is the idea of being in love.. as in YC's movies....the heroine is sitting on the window sill and there is a gentle breeze that blows through her hair and the silky hair descends right on her face partially covering her..her delicate fingers try to move the silky hair across...right then the hero catches a glimpse of her.. and that's it..Shakespeare says, "who ever loved that loved not at first sight" ...the hero falls in love with the girl...is it not a beautiful dream to sell..When i was a teenager.. my eyes were full of these dreams.. that one day some one will catch my glimpse ...and the with out my knowledge there will be someone who is pining away for me... The idea that i m special to some one made me feel better, special and .......... beautiful..even though the mirror said otherwise..
Then the wait for the special person.....could this be him.. him?? or may be him! the wait for the person was sooo good.. i gave me reasons to look at the beautiful night sky and the moon behind the thing veil of passing clouds...it gave me reasons to look into the silver raindrops on a day when rainbow lit up the sky....and each time my heart skipped a beat...The magic of being in love with love....So beautiful.. It also kept me writing poems after poems ...till i ran out of thoughts and stopped writing poetry...
Romance inspired so many artists that i bet if not for romance we would not have had half as many poems, novels, paintings, art in any form for that matter....
But then all good things come to an end.. and romance ends after the 3 hours ..soon after the theatre lights lit up! we realise oh! god did i forget to switch off the geyser?
