kal ho na ho

as we grow older , ideas or ideals or principles that we hold close to the heart or we firmly believe slowly starts eroding. sometimes we are even very stubborn with those very principles and ideals , sticking to them under every circumstance and every situation. however sometimes in life all it takes is a certain event , a certain incident, a certain book , even a certain movie to shake those principles at its roots. and why not ... after all we have principles and ideals from our own experiences or what we observe in society. no one is born with anything right ?
this movie presents interesting highlights , kal ho no ho if we ignore the bias of shah rukh's eternal crying (waqt nahi hai , waqt nahi hai , waqt ---- in that typical shah rukh accent, pursed lips and tight tshirt clinging to his 6 pack!) is a story that is lovely. it presents a challenge that we as human beings rarely face... to love and marry a woman who loves another man ? the situation that saif ali khan finds himself must be the most difficult one .. he loves a girl , to discover that she loves another guy .. and that guy doesnt love her since he is on his deathbed. and eventually he marrys her with the knowledge that she is still in love with the other guy. it talks about the ability , the capacity that saif ali khan's character has to accept someone ... the love that he has i think transcends the love that the other two show. if love is meant to happen between just two people , and there is on true love for every person then does preity zinta really love said ali khan to eventually marry him ? cause its apparent till the end that she truly loved shah rukh khan. and how difficult it must be for shah rukh khan to see her with someone else and actually making that happen.
as we grow , from school days to college the concept of love changes , the idea of what it is. sometimes one has the ideal that there is a true love waiting for one out there in the world etc etc.. but i think at the end its not so much as to find the other person but the capacity within oneself that is expressed. the capacity or the ability that one has within oneself, the extent that a person can express his emotion for someone is what is evident. its who we might be as a person and what is inside the person is what comes out eventually as love , and we seek a person who can understand and maybe be close to what we can understand ... and who knows there is more than one person on the planet for that to happen :P !
