Hi All!
Yes, the first post in my blog is called unceremonious endings. The irony was just pleasing, I knew then this would be the first topic in my blog. (A third attempt in starting one)
Unceremonious endings can be anything that leaves this empty feeling in you that makes you think there should've been more. So, imagine you have a close friend.(Hopefully you have one!) You hang around him all through the semester and when the exams are over all you ever get to say is a measly "Bye". Seems too unsatisfactory right? You want to give a proper closure, because you know you won't be seeing each other for at least another 2 months. Or you are chatting up your boy/girl friend and suddenly he/she has to go off. You feel the need to give a proper closure to the time you had but one "Bye" is all you settle down to. Seems so unfair. There are many other instances of unceremonious endings too. This same dilemma is faced by Pi in the movie "Life of Pi". After all the fight for survival they went through together, the tiger just leaves him after they reach shore. It doesn't look back at him, doesn't acknowledge his existence, doesn't thank him for taking care of itself. All our severely dehydrated and famished Pi can do is stare. Sad. The serials Firefly and Outsourced ran only for one season. The former was stopped because not many people watched it (but really, it wasn't advertised enough and the episodes were aired out of order)and the latter was stopped because of too much racism. I mean what the hell?
It's such an empty feeling, right? I mean how can you even fill it? You can't go back to the moment and change it. Once it is lost it is just lost. Only time will make you forget it. Some of the other ways of closure is having a personalized farewell statement. That helps, it makes you think your counterpart meant the "Bye" instead of the usual dry "bye". In the movie Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, SRK makes the lovely Anushka Sharma say, "Hum hain rahi pyar ke, phir milenge chalte chalte!" ;) I don't know what to do for the tiger. Sorry, Pi! But both the makers of Firefly and Outsourced came out with movies with the same characters to put an end to the series. Sheldon of the Big Bang Theory in the episode The closure alternative recreates every situation where he had an unceremonious ending and finished each situation. That is exhaustive but if your brain agrees to it, well and good.
You come across unceremonious endings all the time. It can even be as subtle as replying "No thing." when you are asked "whaddup?". Kills the life out of the conversation.
But then thats the beauty of it! :)
