My PDMS films were sun-bathing (read, being UV treated) and I was strolling in the lab. A rhythmic quatrain from a recent movie just crossed my mind... "Kache ele tomake chena jayna... japsa hoye jao... Joto dure jao, sposto hoye otho..."
(For my non-bong friends, a translation sans the beauty: You seem obscure when we are together... the farther you go, the more vivid you are... )
Amazingly beautiful words to capture the essence of relationships.
The closer we are to a person, the more we see the imperfections. A little distance, a little space works wonders, we can appreciate the person as an entity, and the relation seems so complete. I feel this now, when I stay away from my family and loved ones. Home seems like paradise, but yes, from this distance. Why are dreams so beautiful? Because they are distant. I always feel that there should be some unfulfilled dreams, that will give some meaning to life.
Isn't it somewhat similar to what we learn about a converging lens in Optics, or the concept of length-scale in modeling or the craters on the moon or may be Hiesenberg's uncertainty principle?
Yes, I have gone crazy... my experiments are not working, I just realized that I have spent almost an year in US with no results...
Or may be because it's just the way I am, I take little things to heart, give importance to people who are not worth it; I try to be logical but I am so damn sensitive!

I agree to you about maintaining a little distance from people. I think in order to come closer to someone or be liked by that person we hide our faults and project an image that would be liked by the other person. The other person does the same thing too. After a while, when we have come sufficiently close, the true character/nature of the person is revealed, and most of the times it is shocking.
ReplyDeleteI think the human relationships also follow the basic laws which bind atoms together. Two atoms attract each other up to some critical distance, but repel each other if they come closer to that distance.
Thus, in order to keep on loving people we need to maintain a critical distance.
