writer's block and "the painted veil"

i have been going through writer's block. for so many days. it seems never ending. i log into the blogger with thousands of thoughts in my head screaming to be out in the world. but the doors are locked, the keys thrown away in somewhere distant sea. i wish and wait for the fairy godmother. and wait..........

recently i watched a movie - "the painted veil", written by W. Somerset Maugham. its about a english couple who got married and struggled to find there love and cross the distance between them. as the baseline of the movie goes - "sometimes the greatest journey is the distance between two people." walter, a middle class doctor and kitty, an upper-class woman -- get married for the wrong reasons and relocate to Shanghai, where she falls in love with someone else. when he uncovers her infidelity, in an act of vengeance, he accepts a job in a remote village in China ravaged by a deadly epidemic, and takes her along. their journey to the epidemic worn village brought meaning to their hateful relationship. its a very touching story and a real one. a relationship depends on how much compromise you can make with your expectations. once they come to an equilibrium it gets ideal. a finely edited and acted movie in the heaven like backdrop of china.
