We are drifting as this silence creeps between us. Destiny tiptoes around, leaving nothing but questions. The stars have no answers, neither have you and I. And in silence we stay. Unsaid words and unstolen kisses. They stab and leave unseen wounds. Tongue tied and lips locked. And in silence we part. ~ Me [Half Proper Farewel - 27Days of Heartbreak]

A Based on a novel written by Yann Martel and directed by Ang Lee, “Life of Pi” tells an unlikely, simple tale of an Indian boy stranded in the middle of the Pacific Ocean with a tiger. 

Considering how the majority of the film is spent in the vast emptiness of the ocean, it’s remarkable to see how natural the scenes flow and time flies.  Sharma is the heart and soul of Pi, conveying the many facets of emotions, with no other human in sight.  “You don’t know the strength of your faith until it has been tested.”  And tested it has.  His survival depends on his faith, belief, hope, spirit to go on, endurance, and at some point, acceptance of what is and letting go. 

It doesn’t matter if you believe what ‘Life of Pi’ has to say about spirituality… all that matters is that you experience it for what it is; the most important 227 days of a boy’s life told with such splendor that it’s hard to ignore, let alone not admire even a little bit. Even if you’re not in it for the story, ‘Life of Pi’ is worth seeing for its amazing visuals alone. And if not for that, watch it for Richard Parker; because some lessons can only be learnt by spending time with a ferocious, carnivorous beast in a tiny, uncomfortable rescue boat. 

When another story is revealed toward the end, the ending will let you choose which journey you’d like to believe.  Spiritual or realistic, or both – what you believe may possibly reveal more about yourself and your own belief.

She would tell him what she wanted in her life — her hopes and dreams for the future — and he would listen intently and then promise to make it all come true. And the way he said it made her believe him, and she knew how much he meant to her. 

I hate it when you’re still right, even though you aren’t here anymore.

And the song kept on playing.

Hey,

It’s funny how the universe randomly brings [two] people together, isn’t it? Random coincidence or perhaps just meant to be. I don’t believe “Don’t talk to strangers.” For me, talking to [the right] strangers can be fulfilling, inspiring and rewarding.
