Sheesha ho ya dil ho
Aakhir toot jaata hai...
Meaning
Be it a mirror or a heart,
it will eventually break
... go the lyrics of the famous Reena Roy song from the film Asha comparing the fragility of the heart to that of a mirror. Just as a slight push can cause a mirror to fall down and break into many a pieces so can be the effect of the simplest of words or actions of someone you love on your feelings. Indeed as Emily Dickinsen says in her poem
Not with a club the heart is broken,
Nor with a stone;
A whip, so small you could not see it,
I ’ve known
If breaking of a heart is easy then putting the pieces back together is all the more difficult. One of my favourite dialogues is from the film Mann where Manisha Koirala lectures Aamir Khan when he lightly confesses to have broken many a girls' hearts saying
Vishwas jeetna bahut aasaan hai
Usse bhi aasaan hai vishwas ko todh dena
Aur sacha insaan woh hota hai
Jo us vishwas ko nibhaaye
Todhe nahi
Recently I came across an article which talked about whether couples who reunite after a period of time has passed since they had broken up can make their relationship work. The answer was somewhat in the negative. Its not a surprise because there would be no peace of mind when you are always afraid of things going wrong a second time over. In the absence of comfort you are not likely to even feel free be yourself.
