"Life, as its nature is, The more its age, the better it is.." The song Murabba from the anthology Bombay Talkies seems to be on appreciating the ephemeral side of life and it is very layered. Life changes over time just as the sweet fruit preserve. Sometimes, it can break abruptly on the journey just as the pot containing the Murabba in the short movie. Is it the end though? Not really if the journey was worth it!
But whose journey was it: the actor's or the dad's one? The journey did not belong to anyone apparently as is our lives ... But the multiplicity of influences affect and change our paths. It taught the actor a few lessons on humility as well since he started bragging about meeting the star actor Amitabh Bachchan in the train and then there was the point where the father did not actually believe him. What was true? Does it also matter since there was even an even more genuine encounter with an imitator of the star actor?
Such is the journey of life with bitterness and sweetness, ups and downs, and truth and illusion.
