I haven’t seen the movie ‘Sliding Doors’ yet - partly because I’ve been too lazy to rent it, but mostly because I am quite sure that it won’t live up to my unreasonably high expectations. The concept, you see, is extremely powerful. What happens if you make a seemingly innocuous decision like boarding the 10:10 a.m Virar fast local train instead of the 10:15 a.m local, for example? What if that decision triggers off a series of unplanned incidents that change your life forever; and what happens in an alternate life where you took the 10:15 a.m as usual? Would the events have unfolded anyway, perhaps at some other time in some other form, because they were meant to be? Or do you end up living a completely different life - because you made a supposedly simple alternate decision? These are a lot of words to say that I would love to hear from you. And maybe a simple exchange sets a chain of interesting events in motion much like what happened to Johnny, the protagonist of my second novel…….. |
