I watched QALA , a fortnight back but this movie keeps coming back to me. Sometimes it feels as if a qala resides in me who's seeking the acceptance from the most important people in her life. It reminds me that how we go to any extent to be valued and loved by them. That song , " phero na nazar se nazariya" captures that feeling so perfectly. Whenever I hear this song, it touches a chord of my heart. The tussle that qala faught alone for the acceptance from her mother is a devastating beauty. Also, the cinematography and the background scores were breathtaking and melodious respectively. Qala touched the softest corners of my heart. The character of Majrooh played by Varun Grover reminds me of my real friends who always care and check on me. Even the dialogues in the movie are classic. "दौर बदलेगा, दौर की ये पुरानी आदत है।"  It is a masterpiece but a heartbreaking masterpiece.

One who knows about rookies and MVPs, One who knows about  Sundress and jumpsuits, One who knows from caramel nude to fuschia pink, One who knows the offside in soccer( and in life too), One who knows not only the battles of Panipat but also the battle of Chausa, One who knows the trade-offs and opportunity costs, One who knows Seychelles and Siachen, One who knows soundtracks and scores, One who knows the madhyam-marga and the stoicism, One who knows the goldilocks zone despite not leaving the comfort zones, One who knows the mandala art, One who knows from BTS to dhillion to Pt. Ravishankar, One who knows the anatomy of MAKDAs, One who is a rebel........ alas I wish I were. One who knows ... One who knows......  One who knows...............  his list is very long but it is much much more than worth achieving and my journey still goes on to become the one who knows.
