Beautiful Collage Gan and lovely quote...truth and perceptions...what an apt title...the truth can be what we dont see while the perception is what we see is the truth
A man is being honored, celebrated..his achievements are being lauded by the world...he is being called a conqueror, an achiever...he is being toasted too he is the center of attention in that crowd that has gathered tonight because of him...there are those in the crowd that love him, those who hate him and those who look upto him...he sees all of them at once but none of those too...for from where he stands he sees things from a distance and sometimes that distance is enough to cloud the vision and influence the mind which makes him unleash words about his past...that he aims at his present.
He says he is alone here he is used, cheated and manipulated...he says it has happened to him before and hence he has gained what he has tonight...He sees the dark and light and while come together under one roof...and even while the light is placed ahead...his eyes are behind and he sttill is infuenced by the shadows...he sees the present and the past arent all that different...what he fails to understand is its all a matter of perception...he wants to believe his eyes and discard everything else but what he fails to understand is eyes, your own eyes can deceive you...
Bhala-manda dekhe na, paraya na saga re
Naino ko to dasne ka chaska laga re
Naino ka zahar nasheela re
They'll not differentiate between good or bad, a stranger or their own
Since they have become addicted to biting
And their venom is intoxicating.
She came dressed to the nines for the man of the night, the man who holds her heart...she was proud of him, she was on a high, she is in love...All she craved and wanted was to see him there - at the pinnacle of success. She didnt want acknowledgement or appreciation from him...she just wanted him to look at her once with that love that he had just days back when she was dressed in red for him, when he had fasted for her..she wanted that look back again in his eyes for her. It was all that she wanted..it was everything for her but instead she saw him look at her with contempt, with hatred...she still didnt let it get to her...her heart excused that look even his words that spoke of truths and illusions..she plastered on a smile on her face and braved on...in the moment of his shining glory her eyes couldnt see anything but him, her heart couldnt help but beat a little faster for him...until he broke it when he spewed venom...until all his words did was cloud her vision with tears...until all she could do was finally give in and acknowledge reality...that of his looks, his words and his actions..when she couldnt keep up the pretence anymore and as that happened all she could think was Why?...her heart shattered and her mind confused she was baffled
Bin baadal barsaayein saawan, saawan bin barsaata
Bin baadal barsaayein saawan, naina baavra kar denge
They'll make it rain when there're no clouds
They'll surely drive you crazy
These eyes will cheat you.
