Resonance



“As we pass through the numerous crossroads of life we come
across many who accompany us in this journey of myriad
experiences. Underlying this is a resonance, a chord
which strikes between two people.” Anuranan, Circa 2007

It was a letter, a hand written one with a portrait- a la-Titanic style. And he was trying to make sense taking examples from life’s jigsaw puzzle. Like with a piece in jigsaw many other pieces can be tried but there is just one unique combination that makes it perfect. And before that perfect picture is obtained many combinations can be tried and these are worthwhile. These makes the ‘piece’ more experienced. And there he tells 'her' that not every relation has to have a name.

Such is life. When memories turn olden they become meaningful.

It was when he was zipping through those mustard fields driving that Merc, 'she' was transported to a different place with 'her' eyes glued on the 70mm. Memories of mustard fields from the land of Vikings came alive. But 'she' did wake up at the sight of Big Ben and did realize that was London and he was zipping through the lovely country side of London.

Eto anuranon kano? 'She' asks herself.

The father comes looking for his daughter as she has just moved to the city after staying away for so long and he looks for her and her husband. And he calls for him. 'She' was surprised as that reminded her of a name.

Eto anuranan kano? 'She' asks herself.

While still in front of the 70mm 'her' mind was taking wandering trail through different timezones, different landscapes, different space and time and 'she' did find herself asking:


"Koto anuranan, koto spondon
Koto jigyasha, koto bhalobasha
Somoy egiye jaye, jibon kete jaaye
S(m)riti aar bis(m)riti hoye jaaye ekakar
Ei jibon e koto anuronon, koto spondon" (copyright-Solna)

Amazing read ... I scrolled down to read a few more ... but too much of a good thing at one go can spoil your appetite .. so I will nibble away blissfully on this treasure trove at a blithe pace ...

hi solna

a wonderful post...has made me want to see the movie at the earliest opportunity..even though i may not follow the language to the T..but i might just feel a anuranan...

a very good reason to catch the movie is that it stars my most favorite contemporary actor..Rahul Bose.

Hey, Thanks!
I will say get hold of a DVD at the earliest as I am afraid it must not be running in the theatres now. I bet you wont regret investing on this DVD; buy one with English subtitles even though much of the film is in English. Its a treat to savor again and again and I presume you would like the experience.
