Pooja #rolestroll_ 16

तेरी उम्मीद पर ठुकरा रहा हूँ दुनिया को
तुझको भी खुद पर ये ऐतबार हैं की नहीं 
दबा दबा ही सही 
दिल में प्यार हैं की नहीं

Movie - Arth

Pooja is an orphan who is financially and emotionally dependent on her husband who once happened to be his friend. He is surreptitiously in relationship with other woman and leaves Pooja. She vacates the apartment that she had decorated with such exuberance. She finds it ironic that how the other day she told her maid that she should leave her alcoholic husband living with another woman and she herself meets the same fate. She starts living in Working women hostel and struggles to find a job. She is helped and encouraged by Raj,  a budding artist who has adulation for her. At one instance when her husband comes to meet her to get divorce paper signed she deliberately asks her what the date is to remind him its her birthday but he clearly doesn't remember that. It's aching to see that a how people mark a shelf life to every relationship.  Once it's over so is the importance that you once held in their life. She simply smiles and moves on. Throughout the story she evolves from a person who is largely dependent, mushy to becoming a stoic, strong headed and self dependent.  Her husband's mistress suffers from schizophrenia that maybe stems from the realisation of having ruined Pooja's life. Pooja goes to her and assures her that she shouldn't blame herself.  Afterall forgiveness is important not because its about being the bigger person but because of the fact that it is only beneficial for your inner peace. There is no end to hatred and neither can it change the fact that you were wronged. At the end of the day its about how you recover from your setbacks and emerge a little stronger and immune to the treachery of the world. In her case she helps her maid's daughter and decides to bear the onus of the child's education and upbringing.
