And the tears just flowed...
Like it does to most people, love always moves me.
And if it's in an unusual way, I just start crying.
I cried after a very long time while watching Guru. Not in the scene where Guru suffers from a paralytic attack. Not even when Shyam carries a frail Meenu down the stairs. Or even when Meenu dies and Nanaji lights her pyre.
I was fine even when Sujata, while seeing Guru off the station, asks him to stay back. It made sense to me - no new bride would want her husband to leave her for work the very next day of their wedding.
I liked it when Sujata asked Guru to offer her to come with him right then. It's so like a woman. We want to be asked for something again and again - even when we want to agree to it even before the question's put.
I wasn't too moved when Guru asks her about coming with him and not having any belongings. She replies by questioning his ability to buy her a saree, thus implying that belongings don't matter as long as he wanted her to come.
A confused Guru then told her that she didn't have a ticket. To this, Sujata replied whether she'd need a ticket even if she had to sit on his legs (I've literally translated - "Tumhare pairon par baithne ke liye bhi tickat chahiye kya?").
My tears found their way out immediately. We actually want so little...
How much does it take to give a saree and a little space?
And even for that, there's so much reluctance...
But thankfully, Guru understood, and I hope there are more Gurukant Desais in this world.

Hmmm... I saw one of my musings translated in words in this post of yours. I have agonised over it for a long time - why most women, no matter how liberated, won't think of initiating a relationship - and I still haven't found a good excuse. I've asked all of my female friends that, if they liked a guy a lot, would they ask him out. The answer has always been an emphatic 'no'. Some offered the feministic "it's the guy's prerogative to ask the girl out" reason. While others, though they did not agree with that reason, had no reason to offer at all. But, inscrutably, they say they'll never do it either.
