do not grow flowers that blossom throughout the year. permanence weakens longing. desire needs seasons.
(Felt more like a post lunch afternoon nap. It took Indhubala's rendition of kahe ko neha lagaye for me to rewatch it again. Without that return, I might not have been moved by the film tbh nor even understood it)

why don't you grow a flower, that blossoms through the year?
Very few movies appear so seemingly mundane yet manage to wrench your heart so profoundly. Payal Kapadia has mastered the delicate art of capturing melancholy and the beauty of nothingness. No logical reason as to why this movie evokes nostalgia in me while watching something as simple as two people conversing in Nepalese. Absolutely beautiful.
