The Journey of Two Companions: Siddique and Lal
A Unique Bond Between Land and Sea
In this fascinating tale of friendship, two individuals, Lal and Siddique, showcase a deep connection between the land and the sea. While Lal represents the country, Siddique symbolizes the vastness of the ocean.
The journey begins as the country quickly warms up and cools down equally fast. On the other hand, the sea slowly warms up and cools down at a gentle pace, reflecting Siddique’s temperament.
Siddique, known for his introspective nature, admits that he requires ample time to come to terms with situations. He advises Lal to forge ahead if faced with obstacles. Lal, on the other hand, surprises Siddique with his resilience, repeatedly bouncing back from adversity without losing hope.
In an intriguing encounter, Lal narrates a captivating anecdote about broken bullseyes. While ordering two bulls, Lal notices that one of them is damaged. Curiously, he questions if it belongs to Siddique, who nonchalantly responds, “It doesn’t matter,” and purchases the faulty one. This incident highlights Siddique’s selflessness and compassion towards Lal, acknowledging his financial struggles.
Together, Lal and Siddique stand as guardians on the mysterious shore between the land and the sea. They face numerous challenges but complement each other perfectly, leaving a trail of success in their wake. Eventually, they bid farewell, parting ways with mutual respect and admiration for one another.
The Journey Continues: New Beginnings and Loss
Years pass, and Siddique’s enthusiasm leads him to create a captivating documentary on Oommen Chandy. The closeness between Siddique and Oommen Chandy is beautifully portrayed in the film. A heartfelt interview with Oommen Chandy’s wife, Mariamma, reveals their endearing bond. She shares an anecdote that depicts Oommen Chandy’s simple yet profound nature – if he made bread at home, he would admire it before indulging in it. As Siddique recalls this memory while editing the documentary at Chitranjali, laughter fills the room, reminiscent of their earlier bullseye story.
However, fate takes a grim turn as Oommen Chandy departs, leaving Siddique in a lonely, icy coldness within the hospital, unaware of the loss. And now…
A Profound Perspective on Death
Siddique contemplates death and shares a thought-provoking insight. In some foreign countries, municipal authorities handle the burial arrangements, allowing the house of the deceased to promptly return to its usual routine, free from the burden of mourning. This prompts Siddique to question if they can ever truly move on from profound loss as easily.
The Inevitable Cycle of Life
As time passes once again, Siddique ponders the nature of death. Interestingly, he views it as a great relief – liberation from the pain that death brings. It poses a profound question: is death a moment of relief or a cause for joy?
English Summary: Memoirs of Director Siddique
Two people like land and sea. The country warmed up quickly; Cools quickly. The sea will warm slowly; Cools slowly. Lal was the country; Siddique was the sea.
Siddiq said: ‘I need a long time to come to grips; If you get into trouble, then go ahead. Lal, I am surprised to see that day after day with those who were blown up the day before. When asked, Lal would say: Isn’t it all over? I will be amazed.’
Then Lal tells an old bullseye story. When he entered the hotel and ordered two bulls, Lal saw that one of the bullocks that had arrived was broken and said, “Ouch! Is Siddique’s bull broken? Siddique said it doesn’t matter and bought the broken one. ‘Siddiq is so poor.’
They guarded the strange shore between the sea and the land. Hits were produced one by one, endorsing one name that complemented each other. And parted ways, with mutual respect.
Years passed again. Siddique’s enthusiasm led to a documentary – Oommen Chandy. There was so much intimacy with Oommen Chandy. In the documentary there is an interview with Oommen Chandy’s wife Mariamma: in it she says that if Oommen Chandy made bread at home, he would look at it and eat it. Watching this while sitting in the editing suite of Chitranjali, the old bullseye story once again spreads laughter.
Years passed again. Oommenchandy left, then Siddique was in the lonely cold of the hospital without his knowledge. And now…
Siddique has said about the death itself: ‘In some foreign countries, the body will be taken away by the municipal authorities and buried. If the dead body is removed from the house, then the house of death becomes a normal house at that moment. They will go to the usual hustle and bustle. That’s better. But we can’t be as much as we can?’
Years passed again. When a loved one died, he said: ‘Death is a great relief. What is it? The relief of no longer having to feel the pain of death. Or joy?’
