A very well appreciated movie made by Aparna Sen - a movie depicting one of the rare kinds of mental illnesses - Schizophrenia – a disease where a person lives in an unreal world and believes it to be as true as the real world is for us.
And a very commendable performance by Konkona Sen Sharma who led the role of the mentally challenged patient.
The movie made me think a lot and as usual my extent of imagination had no bounds.
Schizophrenic patients are so unlike the normal people, but still I found a hidden similarity with them.
For me and am sure many of us, our existence is substantiated with the co-existence of an unreal world - a world where all the otherwise impossible things happen... a world where all our suppressed dreams and wishes come true.
For me, in this world, I have with me the love that I had never succeeded in having in my real world. I have some hypothetical problems and situations which deeply affect me and make me cry to an extent where I forget that in actual they do not exist.
And strangest of all, for me, both the worlds operate simultaneously.
When I am in office, I let the real world take over me, though I can hear the call of the unreal world at the same time.
At home I let the latter take over and get so engrossed that often I forget the differentiation between reality and unreality... And yet I am normal.
...We are all normal till there is the fine line of differentiation between fact and imagination.
But just a thought : What happens when we cross the fine line of demarcation??? What happens when imagination takes over reality...?
Do we forget the real world totally? Do we get lost suddenly as Konkona did...???
Do we finally have the address of our dreams as Konkona did ...?
Do we ever get out of this world....???
Do we finally reach our “15 PARK AVENUE”....???
