Change

There is this old movie where twins who got separated at birth grew up with opposite personalities. That leads to confusion in the movie as they meet the same man, who did not know he is dealing with two different women, twins. The sisters did not know each other or their existence until late in the movie. This song in this movie is more interesting and realistic than the movie itself. The lead actor assumes that his wife has changed with time. She is equally confused, not realizing he was referring to her twin and comparing the twin with her. The song goes on with her justifications (on why those changes are trivial) and his complaints on the obvious changes in her character. It is a Tamil song and I am not going to translate it. But I find the lyrics amusing, especially as people indeed change with time and that is part of the nature. Human nature. A process of growth itself.
