Umeed-e-Sahar
It was a quiet week at home, with a lot of time to myself. I decided to watch "Firaaq" a movie reflecting the mindsets of people affected by the post-Godhra massacre. A classic, according to me; the movie asks many questions that have some not-so-easy answers. The bit about an inter-faith marriage where the guy is forced to conceal his identity out of fear, was the most touching. The week ended with me listening to Faiz Ahmed Faiz's "Umeed-e-Sahar". Somewhere "Firaaq" and "Umeed-e-Sahar" seemed connected...! Perhaps the "Firaaq"(Search) ends at an "Umeed-e-Sahar" (Dawn of Hope)?
