Taare Zameen Par

The movie takes one to an emotional journey, where in pieces it touches one to core, where you cant suppress the tears from flowing. There are moments, when the pain reflects so raw, when the child is made to stay aloof from mother and the song puts it so very verbatim to evoke the same.. mom you know it all. A child is so close to mother and the bond is so precious and close that no matter where in the world we may be born, the relation carries the same very depth and closeness. There are beautiful narrations in places, for e.g. when aamir talks to the father who comes to explain that he cares for the child and his mother has surfed the net over the dyslexia disease symptoms and aamir replies caring simply means just saying I am there for you no matter what. What can one do by surfing the net than just being there as strength. The movie provokes such a humane feeling , that I felt somehow very close to even the street children, to the extent you can relate and understand their dile

I miss those hand written letters

Emails really have replaced the letter writes, we used to have in the past years. I used to love them, infact I still have all my letters received saved in boxes and when I am on cleaning spree, I end up reading some of them and see how much emotional, we used to be to write those letters. I know my cousins , aunts and uncles - they all have been so generous to me - I love you all for that. I also know my cousins too cherish them and have saved all my letters and also have put them in scrap book, so that they stay for long. Infact all the rakhis etc, I shared with them are all saved. I really feel touched by them for this gesture of love. I remember they sent me a token of money from their pocket money in a letter, when they realised that, on Rakhi, sisters are given a gift in return and when that letter turned up at my place, it came with a custom notice indicating, that the money was getting smuggled under my name. It was actually hilarious and we offered that entire money to customs

Flight to my dreams

I yearn for the stars and see them in my eyes The shy moon smiles and plays hide and seek all this while Its a vast sky and I want to fly I want to play this game surreptiously, let me dance with the wind, let it blow with me, Birds see me unpretentiously, we carve our way with them in heed The colours of the sky merge with me and I go on my way to self ecstasy Let me take you with me on this voyage spree Close your eyes and just be with me

Smiley moment's

I have been too tied up to make out time for my blog.Today morning when I had a strong urge to write, I was struggling with a topic to pen down my thoughts. And what interested me this time is a reminisce of the funniest or rather the strange-funny moments we may have had in life. I am penning down the ones I recall as of now, you let me know when you read this, what was yours. > I recently came to know from my best friend, that when he first met me they all came to know from a story originator, that my parents and grand parents were swiss and I kept visiting Switzerland in my vacations to meet them. They belived this story for almost like a year and a few of them in that bunch may be still believe in that story. I was absolutely zapped and he did share it with me now after so many years and the set of folks who stayed with this story - I cant even think how they made it up. I was really amused and could not suppress a smile on reading this. > The second such incident which I re

What makes you happy ?

This post is purely comments ...let me know, what is it that lets that very happy feeling in your heart and you smile if you remember it yet again. I played this game once with my fav. cousin..its an old post on my blog and I had a smile when I read it again today. I am sure he would too if I force him read it all over again and I shall do so cos I would love to see a smile and a giggle. Let me start the thread and I shall add more as I keeping replying .. What makes me happy > : Sitting on the floor together, cracking up jokes, on watching a hilarious movie or having too many people together and laughing on a common thread of trivial talk. : Playing cards and cheating with mischief : Watching an amazing movie or reading a very interesting book

Chak De - India !

Chak De India is one of the most patriotically made movie. I agree no less, when I saw the movie I thought it was fantastic, the director, the screen play, the actors, the narration all and all was impeccable. It led one to a different zone of emotional energy. While I watched the movie the first time, I thought I wanted to bring my team for this movie as well. Not because I thought they were as differently oriented people as were the 16 hockey players here. In fact it was quite the contrary, the team was the best spirited together. Yet we all are human beings and tend to take our thoughts in different directions all the time. For a simple example, I myself have went into many cycles of changing my dance school to try if there may be something even better around. And if it wasn't for my teacher, who keeps the enthusiasm alive by setting new benchmarks for me to achieve, I may have left long since. I never knew there were so many blocks, I had to work on myself. And so is with every

Gandhi - My father

Image
Its a beautiful narration and a compelling theme, to make one watch the movie. Our cinema has really come a long way from the dancing around the tree times and is such a delight that it did ! Our Father of the Nation had a family life so very real, that his pain was almost visible. None of his sons did actually understand him or think at par to his values. Each seed was an own flower, each son its own character. The movie depicted the thread, which binds this relationship in such a manner, whereby it brought a tear all by itself. Harilal, the eldest son of Gandhi could not understand life, as simply as his father did. He felt prey, to the wrong habits/values and all the time kept blaming his father for his state. He could never come to terms with the fact that his life was his responsibility and so were his decisions. It is easy to fall into negative patterns of complaining and feeling like a victim of society and your life. And thats precisly what he went through. If you may have re

Fun talk

This morning over chat, with one of my adorable cousin and we went into a fun conversation, which was cheerful and thoughtful at the same time. Before I lose this thread, I wanted some more participation in these wild thoughts and creativity. Let ur grey cells play this fun game alongwith us. > So i dropped Spot remover on my dog and now I cant find him > it rained and the dirt vanished and i cant seem to find him too > i invented the cordless extension cord > I invented voice recognition system

Relax - it rejuvenates

Close your eyes ! See yourself sitting on a beach ..a beautiful beach. The waves are hitting the shore with a splash. Its a beautiful beach on the backdrop of a lush green garden, with lovely trees and flowers around. See yourself sitting on the beach with God, completly relaxed and at peace. You are conversing with him on all the things, you always wanted to. God holds your hand, as a best friend does and is answering you, with love. You have an aura of energy around you and its reflected from your eyes, to bring piety to the surroundings. The waves from the occean take that energy and become pious. The air takes that piety from you and becomes soothey and cool. The sky reflects beautiful colours and form, on taking that energy from you. Earth beneath your feet sparkles with joy on receiving this energy. The sun setting in the occean takes that energy and passes its radiance back to you. The elements have all taken the core peace and are absorbed in your aura and delight. You sit calm

More on profoundness

Zoom up on your energy Each person carries with him/her a persona, which is very unique to the person. And this persona is nothing but your energy zone which gets impacted also by the people, you are with. Did you realize somedays, we are too low on energy and other days are normal or high energy? I recently read an article on the same and it described that everytime you are with people (which is all the time :-D), they start to draw from your energy or you start drawing on theirs, depending on where the source is high (Source fills to the sink ..the physics principle). It examplified the same with the scenarion that, if you are sitting with a person, who is continuosly yamning (he/she is low in energy at that moment) and shall start sapping on your energy, till the time you split from that meeting your own energy levels would have gone down from before. Its a very interesting phenomenon to understand reiki and meditations are all based on the same principle. We are all sources of ene

I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM

A man walks into an ice cream shop and asks, "I'd like two scoops of chocolate ice cream, please." The girl behind the counter replied, "I'm sorry, sir, but we're out of chocolate." "In that case," the man continued, "I'll have two scoops of chocolate ice cream." "We're out of chocolate," the girl repeated. "Then just give me one scoop," he insists. Frustrated, the girl says, "Sir, will you spell 'van,' as in 'vanilla?'" "V-A- N." "Now spell 'straw,' as in 'strawberry.'" "S-T-R-A-W." "Now," the girl asked, "spell 'stink,' as in chocolate." The man hesitates. "There's no stink in chocolate." "That's what I've been trying to tell you!" she screams.

Notes to myself

On Fear We all have fears with us, fears of losing our loved ones, fear of our future, fear of having an accident, fear of a bad dream carrying on the feeling that was it a premonition. How-so-ever brave we think we can be to fight out the fear, it comes back on. And than the moment it grips me back,I remember my favourite cousin's precious "No thought of the day" series , which I get from him everyday and I gain my sanity back. Its a beautiful acknowledgement, I gain within to fight my fears back. I know you have been reading this blog and here is a big thank you for the sanity you passed on to me for this one. On Content We are small people, we can only do simple things in life. We dont live this life for anyone else but for ourselves. If we are happy and content and enjoying what we are doing, the feeler shall spread across automatically in our environment. When we see somebody dancing, who is enjoying from heart and is completly with himself/herself the moment, imbibe

Excuse my space.!

I was wondering on the new post..as to what would I like to write about, what do I strongly feel about to be a part of the posts, in the last few days. And somehow it always happened that when I would have strong ideas to pen down, I would be away to write on and than later I would lose a track of what was the whole idea. I think this happens a lot many times to lot many of us. And than I finally daggered on the idea of personal space to prone upon for this post. On the personal space front, I am a sensitive emotional being. I know because of my sensitivity, the point to back off. Whilst at the same time there are a set of people, who just don't get the picture straight on. There are two categories for me, if I classify them as per my understanding: 1. Either we assume the person's space to be the birth right ..like with our parents, we don't care a damn or don't even think twice in pinging them time and again for reason or for no-reason. The same happens with the best

Goaaa

It was a fun packed vacation and we didnt know whats in store but we all were happy as we were going as a big family together. It sounded like childhood days when we would go together as family and play as children do. Landing at Goa in such a peak summer time was just impromptu to the hotel availability and the when we reached the hotel it eased all the summer blues. It was pure luxury where from reception which was so uniquely white and vast filled with natural light and water fountains. They buggied us to our garden villa rooms and the whole transfer itself made the place look so exotic as was the name, fifty-six acres of lush gardens ! Located on the southwest coast of Goa, overlooking the Arabian sea, this Mediterranean-style resort has a way of slowing down time to a tranquil tempo. We settled in the rooms and than rushed to the pool in the evening. We played throw ball there and than I asked Dee to teach me to swim. She gave me the basic lessons and when it became dark we headed

All That Jazz

I was just catching up on with some friends recently and Ankit quoted on my dance classes. And I quipped to him that I need to write a blog for that. More so it was an excuse for taking time out which I had been avoiding for a long time for a lot of work load around. To an extent I didnt miss my blog for I kept writing in one way or the other :) I havent left my dance school as yet..and I hope not to do so as well. Its been a long time I have been with them and over these years I have learnt a lot ..a little more than just dance and it helped me overall. I learnt patience ...you dont get things in one shot ..yet you have to keep striving for it..keep on finding what works for you and once you do ..try for even higher..can u do yet better than that. I was commenting to Ashu (at work) that there was a time I wanted to be able to address a group of people as a good communicator and not only a communicator I wanted to hold their attention till the time I was talking and I didnt have it in

Precious words

Lord, protect our doubts, because doubt is a way of praying. It is what makes us grow, because it obliges us to look without fear at the many answers to the same question. And for this to be possible, Lord, protect our decisions, because decision is a way of praying. Give us the courage, after doubt, to choose between one path and another. Let our YES always be a YES, and our NO always a NO. Once our path is chosen, let us never look backwards or let our soul be gnawed by remorse. And for this to be possible, Lord, protect our actions, because action is a way of praying. Make our daily bread be the fruit of the best that we carry within us. May we be able through work and Action to share a little of the love we receive. And for this to be possible, Lord, protect our dreams, because dreaming is a way of praying. Enable us, whatever our age and circumstances, to keep alive in our hearts the sacred flame of hope and perseverance. And for this to be possible, Lord, let us always be filled

Flow like a river

Be like the flowing river, Silent in the night. Be not afraid of the dark. If there are stars in the sky, reflect them back. If there are clouds in the sky, Remember,clouds,like the river, are water. So gladly reflect them too, In your own tranquil depths. - Manuel Bandeira

Happy Valentines. !

A moment can make you feel stronger, a moment can make you go immensely weak. Its a strange rule of the game, when you thought happiness is there with you to stay, it suddenly hits back with a line of sorrow somewhere deep in the heart.On the other side of it, it may be sorrow and lonesomeness around you and when you think things cant be any better a streak of happiness enhances that shine in the heart. Isn't that an irony of life which keeps you juggling between these strange emotions and creates a so called change in this life. It just comes to suddenly as a ray of change and changes what you thought was your comfort zone. Moments really are powerful aspects of our lives and sometimes we just live them giving them no importance and than they raise their pedestal to gain the importance and to be a part of the memories, which changed your life. I don't know why this random thought crept in my mind. I don't even know why I wrote this all..Its just when I sit down the words a

Enjoy life..as it comes

Dance like no one is watching, Love like you will never be hurt, Sing like no one is listening and live like its heaven on earth
