It was the year 2046. In the distant and faraway planet or Yr lived a lonely alien named Ickapoo. It had no friends as all its species had been vanquished from a meteor storm. In its solitude and misery it pined for a companion.
Yr was a bare and inhospitable planet. With winds blowing at 150 km an hour, it was virtually impossible to see past the blizzard and storm. Ickapoo yearned for friends and company. Many a time he fiddled with his transistor radio, sending out messages and hoping for a response. He sent fire launchers and rockets into space, hoping that some space traveler would find out about his existence. Ickapoo was an alienated alien. In the same way humans wondered whether we were the only species to inhabit the universe, Ickapoo felt estranged and isolated from the rest of the cosmos.  Join Ickapoo on his escapades across galaxies and worlds in search of company.

Ickapoo the lonely Alien, 2046

Ickapoo is lonely. But love is not always the answer.


Love as ephemeral vapour in In the Mood for Love	


Wong Kar Wai’s In the Mood for Love treats love as an ephemeral vapour, a missed chance and opportunity, a fleeting emotion which never acted upon becomes a ephemeral memory buried by time. The protagonists Chow Mo Wan and Mrs Chan are neighbours who are cheated upon by their spouses, and they are thrown together by circumstances to find themselves falling in love with each other instead of their faithless spouses. Though proclaiming throughout that they ‘will never be like them’ as in like their adulterous spouses, they find themselves drawn to the edge of adultery like their spouses because of their chemistry and loneliness. In the Mood for Love thus precisely captures love as a kind of mood, a fleeting emotion that is set up by circumstances, in this case their mutual loneliness, need and chemistry, and a vapour which becomes a vague memory once it fails to be acted upon.
