Gangubai wala Safed

What a movie!! What an awesome lady Gangubai was!! We would have never known about her if SLB had not chosen to make a movie on her. Yes it is a very sad story. But it has brought to light how some girls have no choice to come out from their world of red light. And Gangubai being part of this world took the ownership of those girls and encouraged them to live with dignity and not to be ashamed when they step out. She took care of them like their mother. She took the challenge of winning election in their area even when chances of her winning were very bleak. That’s the one quality I liked the most in her. She loved to accept challenges without a single doubt in her mind that she will fail. And with her strong belief, she always got what she wanted. She also went extra mile to have kids of her girls get education even when head of the school was reluctant to admit them. She gave an awesome speech at aazad maidan to ask for rights for their world and to make everyone aware that even thei...

The Sky is Pink

Finally I watched this much awaited movie. As most of my friends had already told me, yes it’s an emotional movie. Didn’t have any idea that it’s based on a true story. It’s a story of a girl named “Aisha Chaudhary”. In her life, complications started as soon as she was born and she felt that she was a villain in her parents’ life as her birth complicated their life and also affected their love life. It’s a story of Aisha’s parents who didn’t leave any stone unturned to save their daughter’s life. A girl who could have died within one year of being born due to a rare genetic disorder got to live 18 years all because of sheer efforts of her parents. Out of 18 years, many years went into her treatment. And Aishi (as her family used to call her) made the most of her life in those few years she got to live. She used to paint. She wrote a book that got published by Bloomsbury. Well, I am going to read that book for sure. And she always had this habit of lightening up any tense s...

Jack of all trades, master of none

Image
You and I are so busy and working at such a high pace.. Makes me wonder, are we all in some kind of a race. Race of becoming the best employee, best parent, spouse or a friend, We try to do everything and it leaves us exhausted in the end. 'Jack of all trades, master of none' is the adage we all have in our mind, Yet we try to achieve everything in the fear of not being left behind. What is keeping us so busy, have we ever thought? Is it required to do everything within limited time we have got. At work, we strive to always achieve more. If you slow down, someone else will be promoted to the position you adore. And while you get busy to make your impact at work place, You miss on the social obligations you have to face. It’s okay if we have to miss such gatherings once in a while, Work on your TBD tasks, which will otherwise start to pile. Don’t bother about people, who judge you for not making it to their event, Ig...

Happy 8th to HUM TUM.

8 years, wow Kamlesh!! Feels so good. From just an classmate to friend to best friend to spouse, journey has been absolutely fantastic with you. There were college days, when we both not being sure if we'll ever marry, used to dedicate this song to each other: "Mere naseeb mein tu hai ke nahin, tere naseeb mein main hoon ke nahin. Ye Hum kya jaane, ye Woh hi jaane, jisne likha hai sabka Naseeb". Now we know that we were in each other's Naseeb (destiny). I am sure, Almighty would be laughing at us , watching us from above singing this song. Thanks for always being there for me. For understanding me, for being so patient with me. For listening to your chatter box, and listening to same  things over and over again, for shopping with me, for being prudent in take decisions and not letting me make any decision/choice in haste. In initial days of marriage, it used to be so frustrating to realize that we are totally opposites. Now we realise, we compliment eac...

Fall - the most beautiful season of all

It’s time to cheer, as fall is here. Summer is gone and so are the long sunny days. Camping, hiking, outing; we enjoyed sunshine in our own ways. We have waved goodbye to Summer, Hoping it to arrive back, sooner than ever. It’s time to welcome fall, the most colorful season of all. It so beautifies all the trees, Slowly gradually, it colors all the leaves. It’s only during this season,           That we gaze for so long at any tree. The more you observe,           The more colors you’ll get to see. Some leaves have fallen, and some have not; It’s such a delight to see them, until they have been cleared out. Orange, yellow, red or brown. Eventually they all are going to fall down. Let’s enjoy the sight, until it has gone away. Go out, feel the fall, take beautiful pictures and enjoy the fall in your very own way. It’s time to cheer, as fall is ...

Ups & Downs!!

By -
Ups & Downs Everyone’s life has ups and downs, happy times.. not-so-happy times. Some say that we are at our best self during hard times and it is a blessing in disguise. This is absolutely true. But after all we are human beings, we have a heart, we have emotions. When something changes, it disturbs us. And we want it to fall in place as soon as possible. And if it takes time, our frustration increases. All this is very natural. But if things are not working in our favor, maybe it’s not the good time, may be something better is in store for us, we never know. So, we should sometimes just go with the flow, instead of just worrying. And instead utilize such time to try something new. And whatever happens, whether things work our way or not, it should not affect our happiness a bit. Our happiness should not be dependent on materialistic things. If it is, then it is transient and one day it will again go away if anything changes. We, ourselves have the ability to keep ourselves h...

Let it GO!!

By -
When things don’t feel right, and you don’t know why it is so It’s time to remind yourself to Just “Let it go” When you expect others to think like you, And it makes you angry because they are not doing so.. It’s time to remind yourself to just “Let it go” When you start expecting more, And you just cannot listen to “No” It’s time to remind yourself to just “Let it go” Arguments only drain our energy.. But if you are getting into one, take it slow.. It’s time to take a pause, take a deep breath and just “Let it go” Maintaining relationships is never easy.. And if you realize that your relationship is getting strained with the important person you know.. Focus your energy on the good times you’ve had and for negative things Just “Let it go” Some days are good, some are bad. That’s how life is meant to flow.. If you really love someone, come on and let it show.. And for the bad day, Just “Let it go” “Let it go”  “Let it go”
