In their first few meetings, Stephane looks at Camille with obviously romantic glances. He is cold, quiet, reserved, clinical and unexpressive. In contrast, Stephanie is a skilled craftsman with few friends. She is a colorful, expressive romantic who swims in the world of emotions. Camille is a violinist par excellence, who imbues her music with feelings. The movie revolves around Camille and Stephane. How disturbing can unrequited love be? A few years ago, I watched the French movie Un Coeur en Hiver (A Heart in Winter) by Claude Sautet (1993). What is the antidote to unmet expectations? Let go! The protagonist's beloved does not reciprocate his feelings. The second line ('Wo Nirmohi Moh Na Jaane, Jinka Moh Kare') provides context for the song: unrequited love (wikipedia), which is quite painful. This concept may be paraphrased as 'submission of I to the will of the Universe'. By accepting Y and by letting go of X, peace and calmness is restored. The deeper the attachment to X, the deeper the pain and trauma. Calmness is lost when one's ego or 'I' desires X but reality is Y, where X and Y are different. 'Mana' means heart and 'dheer' means patience, calmness. The opening verse ('Man Re Tu Kahe Na Dheer Dhare') implores us to cultivate calmness.
