When Irfan Khan said, "Zindagi chhoti nahi hoti, hum jeena hi der se start karte hai. Jab tak rastey samajh mein aate hai, tab tak lautne ka waqt ho jata hai"

He will live for 100 years and more

In all of our hearts

He taught us so much about life without any effort

You're one of a kind and you left us with what we exactly needed

Appreciation post to Bollywood's legend, Late. Irfan Khan

A man of true greatness who we all truly miss so very much

I am reading "The Namesake" by Jhumpa Lahiri and I have not, not thought about it for even a second since the time I picked it up. There is so much to say, i would rather keep quiet because "i would have been able to say more, if I had loved it any less".

Please save me from all the tears.

The Namesake - A lot more where that came from (2/2)

Link to part 1 in case you haven't read it.

Out of all the things we know about Ashoke, he always liked to capture the moments that he could through his camera, but this time he deliberately left it out in order to have this exchange with Gogol. And evidently this little memory left a mark in Gogol's mind. Gogol's first instinct after this inherently became that of a person who captures the memory first hand and not through a camera.

Similarly Nikoli Gogol playing a big part in the moment that sculpted the way Ashoke understood and lived his life, he could see a competing moment with the same when his son was born and simply associated all of his life's meaning with his son Gogol.

"The man who gave you his name, from the man who gave you your name"

encapsulates the whole idea of how moments build a story, a character, a personality, a relationship, a decision, a memory, a meaning and a life.

Here (below) all of Gogol's life is shown to us through moments in perspective to his name henceforth connecting everything, shown in the film, right back to it.

However!! Even though at first glance we know the story is about Gogol Ganguli, it still feels like actually about so many other things, especially Ashoke, but that's what Mira was going for.

It is about Gogol, but what makes Gogol is not just him. He was molded and built by moments, most of which where given by and revolved around his parents. Therefore the dedication for this movie said the following:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lastly, below is my favorite frame from the whole film.

This frame shown right before it all starts, we see direction credits for Mira and a little girl just observing the world around her. I see Mira in her. I see myself in her. She is observing these moments that will later craft life itself.

Mira has justified the genre, slice of life to its utmost purity. I know nothing about these people but I became presumptuously aware of the slices of their lives. And that's what happens in real life too. A lot of times we only fall for the idea of things simply to experience those moments that create these slices of life <3

Thank you for coming to my really long Ted talk. Please go watch Namesake now if u haven't even though you shouldn't have read the whole thing if hadn't seen it :>

Irfan Khan had those deep soulful eyes that talked to you. Sometimes it was a joke, sometimes about life, sometimes threatening but they always talked.

An actor having soulful eyes will always set them apart from their peers. And better even when the actors are legit actors.

To a man gone too soon. Happy birthday Sir.

#Irfan Khan #to all the beautiful characters he brought to life #truly thankful for his contribution to cinema

There are just movies and then there are movies that dig their nails into your heart and make it bleed a little.
