Geet's anxiety while running to find Maan, and her restlessness on not finding him, set my heart racing as well... though i knew she would eventually find him ( the song was the follow na...) ..lekin fir bhi... i lived the moment with her.. and kept saying... please, ek jhalak dikhado... sirf ek jhalak... and then ... she walks into the dargah, like a zombie, until the time she spots him...
she knows, there is something inside her, that she is unaware of as well.. may be a heavy feeling, that she cant explain, she wished, she knew, what that was... it would answer all her questions her mind was popping-and then she looked down, and her heart did the answering-the dhaaga came and landed in her hand, of all the people, and i sang a song in my mind.... " kheenche mujhe koi dor...teri ore... teri ore... teri ore... teri ore... haye rabba... teri ore .. teri ore... teri ore...! and voila! maan was there! and though i see him like 5 times a day on tv, and i know its a show, my eyes started watering...and i wanted him to realise, at that, moment-she was meant for him...and then the silent conversation happened between the two-before he regained his senses to question why she was there... she had no answer.. what would she tell him... why was she here.. she didnt know it herself... what was that .. that made her come all the way... she had been questioning herself all along... but now, when he asked her the same... she seemed to slowly realise what it was all about.. yes... he was not just sir ... he was not just the man who was always there even before she would touch danger, he was not the man who always found fault with her, he was not he who had said those horrible words to her... he was that man, for whom her heart had been beating super fast from the time he made that fone call, till the time she finally saw him and made sure he was fine, at the cost of being made out to be silly! but she didnt care... because she finally had the answers to what she was looking for... she knew... what was that was hurting all this while.. at that holy place, where pure, pious exchanges happen between the almighty and the man... she had her revelation too... Geet Handa, the simple sweet, innocent 18 year old from Hoshiyarpur, for the first time in her life... learnt what loving someone meant! and she smiled... cos thats what everyone in love does .. at the thought of the beloved...
but along that came an unknown pain... perhaps of the fear that... she may be able to explain this to the man who mattered or to the world...
whatever it is... geet, today, when you felt all of that... i lived those moments with you... and now, as the clock is about to strike 11, i am all set to relive those moments again cos, those moments undoubtedly were priceless!
love,
niha
