Flavors!!!



Flavors(n) - taste, esp. the distinctive taste of something as it is experienced in the mouth, the dictionary says. But whenever someone utters this word, the very thing which strikes my mind is Flavors - The Movie. I remember a close friend of mine N shared this movie to me when I was in my third year undergrad. I asked a friend of mine K who was staying next to my room to download the movie from N's Pc. It added spice to his happiness of teasing me with N(N is a she btw :D). The reason being, I never wanted to watch an English movie other than an Action genre as I relied on subtitles to decipher the plot of other movies. And as K rightly said it was for N who insisted me to watch this movie, i showed some interest to watching the movie.

The movie just depicts the lives of few NRIs who are in America. Though as the name says, the movie projected various flavors of life and my concentration was on the couple Karthik and Rachna. They seem to have lived in that movie like million who are living their life believing that there's some meaning in a long distance relationship. It portrayed how beautifully you can play around with virtual life. There's one scene where Rachna would have had a bad day at office and she feels dejected and here comes Kartik who obviously loves to boost her up. He asks her to get decked up and while she was getting ready for no reason, the guy orders food and flowers for her. They arrange a table and they sit on sides assuming the other sits opposite to them. They put on a bluetooth ear phone and they enjoy a virtual date with a candle light dinner and music. Could you light up someone's day without being besides them. Absloutely!!! Everything goes well and here comes a man who likes to marry Rachna and as every girl feels in a friendship, Rachna does consider Kartik as his friend and not more than that and she is in thoughts to marry that someone. Here comes another scene where Kartik tells Rachna about that someone and he feels that the guy is okay for her. "He likes you and you are okay with him and you will get married to him and What happens to me" Kartik adds. How well the relationship has blossomed between the two can't be better portrayed than this scene as they ended up marrying each other.

And here I come out of my room feeling good after watching the movie and explaining my friends about the movie. They saw Me & N as Kartik & Rachna. Even then I felt myself that N is not Rachna and she cant ever become Rachna. And for that matter, I never thought I would become a Kartik for someone. After years down the lane, I saw the movie couple of days back and realised a Kartik in me and figured out my Rachna. The insides of US are relishing the nature of virtual life.

Across the Seas
And Over the Mountains -
No Matter Wherever I may be,
My thoughts shall
Always be with you.
Life is Love and It makes life so beautiful :)
