"At the North East Corner of my Heart"
May the lord's name be praised padre.
May it always remain praised.
Please sit
It's a love story being written, isn't it?
Haven't started yet
But...
Can't find a name to begin with
But...
Why did you feel so?
Well...
the sun is falling in love with the sea...
the wind is falling in love with the waves...
(laughs)...this pen is falling in love with the paper
(laughs)....the words are falling in love with the meanings that will be formed.
Young padre, is there a lover inside you?
And, does your cloak hide the tale of unrequited love?
No...
For one who doesn't desire anything
is always in love with everything.
That beautiful feeling is something to truly experience and cherish.
There is none in this world who would have loved like me.
Ladies and gentlemen
so here ends the last day
of your beautiful college life
Now study holidays...
exams...
and then...
life...
Yours was one of the best batches...
that I have had in my teaching career.
It was a privilege teaching you
What are your plans George?
Back to the Seminary?
No, would like to take a Masters degree...
...and, I have applied at Loyola College
What about you Anil?
Why should he bother? He'll join his father's vast business empire.
That's my father's story
My story is something that I write myself.
Good
George.
I am truly, madly and absolutely in love with you
Did I sin by saying this?
No
How can loving someone be a sin?
I know I can never ever have you...
but...
if I don't tell you this now...
before leaving this college...
...that hurt will forever be there in my heart.
See him.
He has been waiting...
for years now...
to tell you something.
I know George...
I like him too...
In all likelihood I will marry him...
...and, proudly become the mother of his kids
But...
till the day I die...
somewhere deep inside my heart...
at a very special corner, where no one else but I can go...
I will keep you there, safe and wrapped in my love.
Where no one else can get to???
Is it that far?
Yes!
It is far!
Actually it is the North East Corner of my Heart!
As beautiful as it is...
...it is so hard to get there.
Moreover, I have strewn the path with,
thorns, rocks, forests and what not???
To make sure that man would ever get there.
But somehow you broke in...
...and I did not even know!
Sweetheart! Why did you pursue priesthood?
Have you seen God?
No...
But some have shown me the way...
Shall I leave?
George
Do you know how I am going to take revenge for breaking my heart?
I will have you baptise...
all the kids that I am going to have...
Wait and see...
and...
it will not stop at one or two.
But...
wouldn't Anil have a problem with all this?
I mean, would he be OK accepting a girl who has loved someone else?
Is that what you think about my Anil?
Looks like you loved and lost?
Have you loved and lost?
(laughs)....well, if I were to make a list of that...there would be a lot to tell.
Then come...
let's take a walk and talk about all that.
That day,
when you were walking away from her...
did you...turn back to look at her one last time?
For us writers,
every story needs a villain.
Shall I try once more to make Anil a villain?
Years have now passed...
they have kids too...
Now when Priya tells him about baptism,
how would he react?
When is the Baptism?
Just a moment...
I have to go...
They will reach anytime.
(laughs...) I got the name for the story
No need to say it...
I know.
That day,
when you were walking away from her...
did you...turn back to look at her one last time?
Priya
There are things that I haven't told you...
Most often the ones we love
will hurt us more...
than the ones we don't.
This is true in your case
and mine as well.
You are loveliest amongst...
all the women I have seen.
Perhaps...
I love you more...
than him.
But...
if we selfishly possess something beautiful...
then it is not beautiful anymore.
May everything beautiful remain so...
Well...about me?
For the one who doesn't long for anything
is unconditionally in love with everything.
Everything is his.
For him,
his way is unchartered.
Also, how can one find God
if he doesn't have love in his heart?
I was not lying when I said...
that it was you who showed me the way.
Then...
remember what you said...
about bringing each of your kids to me...
I await that day...
Perhaps...
more than you, yourself.
