random rant...

aye dil, dil ki duniya mein...
aisa haal bhi hota hai..
baahar koi hansta hai..
andhar koi rota hai..

aye dil........
koi pehchaana nahin
kisi ne yeh maana nahin
kisi ne yeh jaana nahin
kisi ko bataana nahin
dard chhupa hai kahan...

quite random, eh? ..but really it isn't. In this song, from the movie Yaadein, a typical behavior is being performed by Kareena Kapoor's character Esha. Laughing on the outside, crying on the inside. So damn typical, but so damn true for the whole world. whether you know it or you don't, and whether you like it or you don't, everyone alters themselves and possesses what WEB Du Bois calls a "double consciousness."A double consciousness is an awareness of one's self as well as an awareness of how others perceive that person. Kareena wants to present herself to Hrithik as cheerful and unbothered, but really she is yearning for the moment when she cant hold him and hug him. Sounds cheesy, but its a reality to all the individuals of th world. We possess this double consciousness and present this double self to our parents, our employers, our lovers, and even to our own self. For whatever reason, to feel good, to feel bad, to relieve stress, etc. I may not be making any sense at all, but it really doesn't matter..
