I want the copyrights from Imtiaz Ali. The reasons are as follows

• Throughout the movie, I saw Saif Ali Khan as me and Deepika ……… ( may be Harleen Kaur) , ya I saw Deepika too!

• The script writer has used excess of dialogues which have already been spoken by me in my real life. When I say it, I mean the complete word to word dialogues.

• Like any other fan, I too found the story significantly parallel to my own life.

I may definitely be among the rare point one percent lovers of the world who found ‘Love Aaj Kal’ awesome. My friends took no pain in pulling my legs when I came out of Select City Walk quiet and weeping. I gave Five Stars perhaps for the first time to some movie stuff. But you know what, I hate this one. The reasons are as follows

• Imtiaz Ali has got no right to play with the emotions of teenagers. He is well aware of the fact that he has portrayed what may be true for most of the people in this world. He has used the pain and agony of lovers to create a superhit movie.

• Harleen Kaur is so cute. This was never expected. She has no monopoly to kid with the hearts of Indian boys.

• Saif and Deepika cry so much. No lover in this world would like to see a couple crying that much. But they will still watch, to see a glimpse of their own.

Let me start the blog now!

Love is an essential dessert in our lives. But somehow, we make it a compromise – a compromise with ourselves. We want to be happy, to keep others happy, but in the process, we push our lives more into dungeons. We forget that love is as simple and delicate as ………………………….. . Rather, we make love a painful habit. We introduce so many complications and frivolous seriousness that it is no longer in a state to justify the beauty of it’s name “Love”.

Tears are acceptable in love, because they look so cute! What is not acceptable are the situations which cause these tears to overflow.

The first breakup of Veer and Meera was cool you know. Mature talks on lunch table, quicky and crispy, logical thinking (according to them!) and most importantly, on the spot decision and then, the breakup party!

This was the first time when i got a sense that may be Veer is me. And I got this sense again and again as the movie progressed.The separation was cool. Talking for hours on phone, setting status, gtalk, SMS non-stop and the way they all were executed in the movie were very much close to reality.

Its all about living in moments. Living each moment momentwise. We feel we shall take care of situations when they come, but when they actually come, we falter. Coz we had imagined just the upper surface of the situation. We never tried to associate with the moment associated with the situation. We feel we will take care of our sentiments, we are confident enough. But when the moment comes, we allow ourselves to be controlled by our hormones. The stillness, erratic blood circulation, silent eyes, low tempo voice, vulnerable senses, everything gets above normal when it comes to facing expected yet unexpected moments in love.

When moments falter, we are left stranded how to decide. When things get clearer, they get more and more unclear. Whatever was thought of goes in deleted items. The moment requires us to decide on-the-spot. Not in position of deciding, we face the bitter truth that we werent prepared at all. The time stops, and moments begin to fly in vacuum. The stillness, stagnant blood circulation, statued eyes, feeble voice. We try to break the monotony, “The breeze is too good”, can be a good mood changer. We share a share of intentional smile. The decision still awaits.

Finally, the decision is taken.

Everything which was pre-assumed vanishes, here seems the rise of a new dawn. ‘Chor bazaari’  and ‘Main Kya Hun’ become a reality. Plans are made. We will do this. We wont be doing that.

Two days pass singing these songs.

Day three – another meeting.

Something is left behind. Something is still amiss, which doesnt allow to concentrate. Which doesnt permit to turn the eyes away from each other. Something which is incomplete. Something which in Meera’s words “nahi hona chahiye”. Kuch galat hai shayad. Some new things pop up. We are confident by now, having already made a “decision”. Another decision doesnt require much time.

A new beginning.

Few more days of peace.

Then many more days of erratic mental chaos. Meetings keep happening again and again, decisions keep on getting made. Problems keep on popping out. We end up giving such a situation a funny name called LOVE. The concept of multiple break-ups may seem trivial to many, but this is a happening truth among teenagers who think a lot, who think a lot about right and wrong, anticipations. Among those who are considerate, who wish for the happiness of each other.

You know what, many of us create mayhems in desperate attempts to keep each other happy! This is love aaj kal. Not just a love of KAL, but the love of AAJ, and will continue to be the love of KAL.

Ajj din chadeya

It is uncomparabily easy to say that take a decision and stick to it. This isn’t something just said and done. Sticking to a decision is a JEE every moment. These moments can prolong for months. Just count the agony faced by a lover when he ‘has to live through’ such moments -  infinite of them.

Love Aaj Kal is about versatility. Talking rubbish with each other for hours and whole nights, or may be arbit silence for the same amount of hours together. Why there exists a difference at different moments – I dont have an answer. Whatever i have learnt from Love Aaj Kal is as follows

• Love is good to be idealistic, but never loose the fun and frolic. Sometimes, problems are required to make situations complex and interesting. A couple must ensure that they must have a complexity arisen in their relationship at least once every two months. I am not joking, I am damn serious.

• It is indeed difficult to prevent questions like IF and SUPPOSE or MAY BE after taking a decision. But the truth is that a decision can sustain only if these questions and temptations are overcome.

• Listen to your heart, but if someone else can feel better without your intervention, then use your brain instead of it.

• Love is not a battle which results in victory or loss. In fact, complex and sentimental teenage love affairs prepare a human being to learn the basics so as to become strong enough to govern the tough life ahead (for eg. marriage) for so many years.

• And finally, with the course of time, I realised that the story wasn’t mine!

Jo bhi soye hain khabron mein unko jagana nahi

Aaja aaja dil nichodein

Raat ki matki fodein

Koi good Luck nikaalein

Aaj gullak to fodein ……………………
