Eulogy

Goodbye Yasmin Ahmad. May you rest in peace.
Goodbye Yasmin Ahmad. Your masterpieces will be treasured.
Goodbye Yasmin Ahmad. You may be gone metaphysically, but your ideals will live through us in eternity.

As simple as your storylines are,
the lines on your face belied the rich complexities of life you experienced.

You made us shed tears for something that seem imperfect in reality.
A father watching his young daughter grow up.
An Indian wife speaking fondly, or perhaps not so fondly, of her late husband's habits during her eulogy.

You made us sit up and take notice of the mundane.
You touched our lives with such a simple thing called love.

In you, the message of love is epitomised and transcended across faultlines.
You will be dearly missed.
