To
live and love as though you had just today.
In other words, seize the day and live each
day as though it were your last. That’s
the lesson Nagarjuna learns from Girija
in this celebrated early Mani Ratnam love
story. When Nagarjuna finds out he is terminally
ill, he sets off to the hills to quietly
spend his days. But Girija, a girl he meets
there changes everything for him by the
irresistible zest she shows towards life.
She has a potentially life threatening heart
condition herself, but lives as though it
didn’t matter. What mattered was to
live fully and love deeply in the short
time granted to you. And for those of us
who aren’t really dying or ill, the
movie seems to be saying, we must still
live and love to our fullest each day. And
as thoughts for this Valentine go, this
one will keep. |
