A Peck on the Cheek

A mix of hardship and fortune adjusted themselves in my last week's voyage. The justice to the latter bears on sharing it with you which is a lovely movie 'A Peck on the Cheek' by Mani Ratnam. The movie starts with a horrified scene but palled up with a soothing song whose lyrics in subtitled format reads as,

"
May white flowers bloom all over this land,
May peace dawn upon this earth,
May a yellow radiance fall upon the earth 

to wake up the flower, breaking their slumber,
May a child wake up in his mother's warmth,
May the world learn its lessons

from a baby's first smile.

May the music, the wind makes
or the songs, the rain sings
be as pleasing as silence.

Can millions of songs
or the words that poets weave
be as precious as a teardrop?
"
