Things Left for Imagination : The Beauty of the Unsaid
The idea is to convey the beauty of the unsaid things — the pauses, the white spaces, the taken-for-granteds, the unexpected acts of goodwill or love, the dark patches between road lights, the unsent drafted texts.
Mostly, where "Nothing" makes sense in the whole composition from a larger point of view — where there is a context in which the narrative fades out and fades in, leaving the obvious unsaid. But even in that obvious unsaid, there can be enough curiosity to let the viewer imagine various "might-have-happened-like-this" possibilities.
as Muneer Niyazi wrote
kuchh baatein an-kahee rahne do,
kuchh baatein an-sunee rahne do.
sab baatein dil ki kah di agar,
phir baaki kya rah jaega?
sab baatein us ki sun li agar,
phir baaki kya rah jaega?
ik ojhal bekali rahne do,
ik rangeen anbani duniya par,
ik khidki ankhuli rahne do.
English,
Let some things remain unsaid,
let some things remain unheard.
if everything of the heart is spoken,
then what will be left behind?
if everything of her is heard,
then what will be left behind?
let a hazy restlessness remain,
In this colourful, unfinished world,
let one window remain unopened.
