"ON THE SLOPE of the desolate river among tall grasses I asked her, 'Maiden, where do you go shading your lamp with your mantle? My house is all dark and lonesome-lend me your light!' She raised her dark eyes for a moment and looked at my face through the dusk. 'I have come to the river,' she said, 'to float my lamp on the stream when the daylight wanes in the west' I stood alone among tall grasses and watched the timid flame of her lamp uselessly drifting in the tide.

In the silence of gathering night I asked her, 'Maiden, your lights are all lit-then where do you go with your lamp? My house is all dark and lonesome,-lend me your light.' She raised her dark eyes on my face and stood for a moment doubtful. I have come,' she said at last, 'to dedicate my lamp to the sky.' I stood and watched her light uselessly burning in the void.'

In the moonless gloom of midnight I asked her, 'Maiden, what is your quest holding the lamp near your heart? My house is all dark and lonesome,-lend me your light.' She stopped for a minute and thought and gazed at my face in the dark. I have brought my light,' she said, 'to join the carnival of lamps.' I stood and watched her little lamp uselessly lost among lights."

Sir [Is Love Enough?] (Rohena Gera, 2018)

[thegirlwholovessynchronicity]

Oh, tell me, what makes a character important? In the tale of a poor home, wealth is an important character, whereas it’s beauty in the lives of the ugly, for India, it is Pakistan and America that play the characters of villain and hero, respectively; the most important character in the tale of a blind man is an eye, it’s a leg for the lame, a home for the homeless, employment for the unemployed, sleep for the sleepless, and if you’ve had enough of this, look: the most important character in every person’s life is the thing that they lack.

- ‘Tomb of Sand’ by Geetanjali Shree translated from the original Hindi by Daisy Rockwell

Court (2014)  //  dir. Chaitanya Tamhane

[obsessioncollector]

Each person is a reflection of their own time, but also separate from it. A mirror has so many angles and bends and corners, so many unthinkables, one has no idea whose reflection one sees and how it came to appear there; if you don’t know how to look at it crooked, you’ll never guess. In the silver of a mirror shines a sliver of time, and in a snap of the fingers there’s the span of time, and where the image seems to steady, there, another snippet, another wrinkle, another baggy bit.
