Some movies can set you thinking,
some can take your breath away.. some can make you believe in magic, in destiny
..some can renew your faith in mankind ..in ourselves..
I like such movies, where you
don’t need to think, rather the cinema itself takes you for a ride, takes you
to another level ,another world, like dopamine, inducing your senses and taking
complete control..
My soul tripping happened with
Neelakasham Pachakadal Chuvanna Bhoomi, literally translated means The Blue
Skies, The Green Sea and The Red Earth. So what fascinated me about the movie was
not the clichéd love story, nor was it the brilliance of the slow moving
script, but it was the journey, that Kasi-Suni road-trip, it paralyzed me
completely: the Blue Skies over their
heads, the Green Sea roaring by and the Red Earth under their wheels, it exuberated my senses.
Throughout that cinematic
picturesque journey, the evolvement of the protagonist, his thoughts, his actions,
his deeds got me thinking. It got me thinking of my actions, my deeds, my
dreams..
My dreams where drifting like
seas weeds in a turquoise realm where the chances of it drifting ashore where
one in a million, my thoughts where wavering .. were my actions justifying my
senseless drift was my only qualm..
I knew what I needed, I needed to make Kasi’s road-trip, I needed that karma filled renaissance, that exuberant hit of weed on my
senses, I had to find my Himalaya, my place of peace…before the burning flames
dwindled into nothing but fumes..
In life, we live once, we love
once..we make a lot of decisions, some foolish, some wise, but whatever decisions we make or we have made, it has made us who we are,
and what we intend to do will definitely take us to our Himalaya, our place of calm,
our place of tranquility, our place of peace...
