Whether You Know It Or Not

I was just looking at the plot synopsis of Jaane Tu... Ya Jaane Na. This is an excerpt from what I read:

"Jai and Aditi are perfect for each other (in some odd, distorted way, impossible to understand). Friends know this. Parents know this. Everybody knows this. But do Jai and Aditi know?

"Can two people ever, truly, know the secrets of their hearts? And how do you know it's the real thing? Will they find love in each other? When do you know it's love?"

Somehow this sort of theme feels very close to my heart. We go through life so fast that we miss all the signs. We don't always realize that a certain person is the one we're meant to be with, until one fine day when it's a little too late. We don't know we love that person until we realize that we can't have them.

There's a song from this movie called Jaane Tu Meri Kya Hai which I totally loved. Not just because it's composed by Rahman and sung by Sukhwinder Singh. The words touched me deeply.

Hai dosti humko yakeen tha, dosti aur kuch bhi nahi tha
Par kaise tujh ko baante, kyu chubhte hai pairon mein kaante
Janaa dil jaana, kaise maine naa jaana
Ke pyaar yahi hai, yeh jaane tu ya jaane naa

Quite a random thought, this one. My last three or four posts, I noticed, have been a lot longer than my usual posts. This one is being kept short in an attempt to restore normalcy.
