The Empty Relationship


THE EMPTY RELATIONSHIP … 



   Love is in the air … is doing gaga over peoples face book, BBM and whats app status.
Do they really know what love is? Well, it depends on person to person. For some it is attraction, some finds physical pleasure while many of them just love because they need a companion to crave on and have the benefit of. On the other hand, very few are there who actually welcomes the pain and beautiful feeling of love to cherish their life.


  Love can only happen between two opposite individuals.
Answer to it remains a big question mark. Let us find a way...
It can be among two opposite gender friends and it can be between a mother-son or father-daughter or siblings too.
Love has no definition; neither has it had any limitations to stop.


    Today we are living in material and practical world.  The scenario is different now.  So far so good is hardly seen and if seen whether it will become successful is doubtful every time.  Nobody thinks of having a sustained relationship, they are fine even if their partner terminate the agreement of love. 

     For instance, college babies are immature when they choose a wrong person however; they are called as geeks and nerds if they do not have one partner (pattern of college life)
Definition of love has become very unrealistic these days. Nobody cares whether your partner loves you or not. They only care about their security and safety (hidden fact).

    Sometimes I feel like going back to the olden days where raj kapoor can be seen singing pyaar hua ikraar hua with nargis as well one can notice how shammi kapoor expresses his grievances to sadhana in dil ke zharoko me tujhko bithaake …. Those were the beautiful songs with meaning and perfect time picturised in the movie and so people of that time have cherished their memories and happiness with these songs. 
   
      Today, it has changed.  Movies are still source of entertainment but the entertainment part has been treasured so much that even Vidya Balan had to commit in one of her movies that entertainment rocks! Relationship has become the empty castle of love where anybody can enter and exit without any concern. Breakups and patch ups are in trend. Bollywood plays a very important role in encouraging youngsters, no offence made as such. People are bound to get attracted to what is not good. Initially, love dances all over you and slowly but gradually you get distracted with the terms and conditions (ye nai karna, who nahi karna, jaanu ye, jaanu who----Period!)
   
   All the best to those who are in a steady relationship and good luck (try your luck even harder) to those who just experienced a breakup.

  It was just like an other day of my life as I was speculating something special has to happen.
Surprisingly my cell beeps, his message. Splendid!
I was aware of the fact, he would some day. Friends teasing were limited until he messaged. It got worsed as it all got public.
   We don’t care!!!!! (We said to each other and continued to remain together)
Bad mouths came with good mouths. Few hearts were happy to see us together while many went outrageous.
  I simply knew what I wanted at that moment. It was he…
Wasn’t aware whether it was love, affection, or attraction... whatever it may be, I was happy at that moment
  Memories of him……. an hour spend with him seemed a whole life sometimes it would flash like a minute. I myself was CONFUSED about my status with him a life.
May be I never wanted to confess or may be he always wanted me to confess 1st.
      Love comes with terms conditions of which both we were unaware and it took us very far…. (Before entering into agreement of love, both the parties are requested to read all the terms and conditions as it are binding on both the parties after execution).
      MY WORLD OF his…..only4u
             Absolutely impossible to forget the aroma coming out of him, it makes me insane sometimes. Hate those who used to be around him always. Told you terms and conditions.
 An hour spend with him was always memorable for me…movie hall or college cafeteria or may be the wait for the train at railway platform…ahh…those were the dazzling flash which I urge for.
  moment spent is nowhere to be found….nowadays my heart  pumps  nevertheless my soul is somewhere in the cafeteria or just about the platform waiting to have glance of those beautiful memories which I had once enjoyed and now am craving it for ……
                    Only 4u…I went away…leaving my soul in the cafeteria….in the college campus…thanks for those lovely 5 star treats, calling me for hours, and occasionally waiting for me…. I did only4u…..

MAKING OF MODERN ANAND


                                                                MAKING OF MODERN ANAND


 I watched ANAND movie, the day after Rajesh khanna died. Old movies make me energetic and after watching anand, I smiled and cried simultaneously (hard to do so in real). It was midnight, the movie got over and I never thought I would take up pen and pencil instead of lying on bed hiding myself under quilt. Actually, I searched for pen, paper and started writing my experience on it.
     Zindagi...... kaise hai paheli haaaye …kabhi ye hasaaein, kabhi ye rulaae (my facebook status the day he died) has very true meaning in each lyrics. Even kahin door jab din dhal jaae is a wonderful all time favorite song. If given a chance, I will buy the copyrights of it (although many are there in queue) and convert it into a wonderful tale. While, I watched the movie long back in my childhood, some 10 years ago. This time I had excellent opportunity of watching the second half (equally painful).
It gives a special message to all humans, to believe in yourself and live life to the fullest (negativity ignored). Anand knows how to enjoy life and make friends with anyone who is passing by the roadside. He knew the secret of how to make the remaining days of his life the worth living. The story is about a man (who suffers from cancer and comes to Mumbai to meet his friend and live the remaining days of his life to the fullest) and here he meets babu moshaae (dr.baneerjee, who 1st shares a doctor patient relationship with anand but later he becomes his friend and at the end he even manages to get some homeopathic medicine just to save anand’s life).
      In the movie, Tape recorder was introduced, (today mobile phones do have all functions) which played an immense role from start until the end. Even I thought of buying one to record lovely voice of my near and dear ones. The moment you miss them, you ON the recorder and they are with you.  Sometimes I do really feel the olden era was very calm, quite and beautiful place to live ( but never thought , even people back then could suffer from cancer )
      The message received is simple yet powerful. When you know …you or your dear one is counting the last few days of his/her life, just make those days the most memorable days of their entire life. Even if death comes, you have no regrets to it. Make those days simply worth living and loving. Be a part of their bliss (babu moshaae did) and do not make them gloomy. Stop sympathizing with them as an alternative be in love with them. Create a history, be the real life anand getting inspired by reel life and  not only anand but also we need babu moshaae’s too. LET US CHANGE IT ….
    Instead of shedding tears, blow the air of happiness. Do not give your shoulder to cry but hold their hands and take them out …let them enjoy the fresh air, the positivity; make them feel the aroma outside. They can at least die happily.
    The last scene (most of us cried watching this scene)…
                 Anand cried before dying, he does not want to die without meeting dr.banerjee (babu moshaae), who went to take homeopathic medicine from one of his colleague believing it could save anand from dying. Anand asked to play the recorder and the poetry was played (which was recorded a night before by dr.banerjee). Told you Mr. Recorder played a very important role.
Listening to his poetry, he left for the heavenly abode. He screamed babumoshaae as his last words. Not everyone gets the chance of recording or living a life like anand ( who always had a smile on his face ) nor we get dr.banerjee every time . we all have anand somewhere hidden in us . Just we need to find anand in us and start enjoying our life with a new start.
      However, wait,
 Today’s anand has so much of stress and tension with him. Even if he knows he is going to die, he becomes more anxious. More burdens welcome you. Arranging finance, insurance, spouse, kids, other family members …all this arrangement takes those remaining days of your life and you die a stressful and tensed death.
      Zindagi Badi Honi Chahiye, Lambi Nahi Babu Moshai.'

SATYAMEV JAYATE: PART 2 ( OUR MOVE )


                     SATYAMEV JAYATE: PART 2
        OUR MOVE (help the nation by helping yourselves)



              Previous article was just the foundation, now it is the right time to talk about it, to do a bit commencing our part.
                    With reference to last Sunday’s episode i.e., 22 July 2012, it was about water.
Each one of us (even the birds and animals) know its importance. Water plays a very important part in our life … we are studying about it since our school days. Earlier we had water in plenty with us, however it is depleting nowadays.
                 Tears rolled down my face when I saw the pictures shown in the episode. They were all real. Circumstances have become worse and it continues to do so. Our one time holy water GANGA ji is no longer the holy water (see the pictures). People bath in the banks of river Ganga, Yamuna and so on holy rivers. They not only bath, but wash their cloths as well.
                 Riverbanks are too much polluted and we are the one who are doing it. Holy places like kashi, Mathura, vrindavan, Haridwar, Banaras and many more are polluted now.
                   We call INDIA as our own country, then why are we polluting it?
Are we taking it all for granted? The place where we live, we call it as our own home and we keep it clean every time. So, why not our country? Consider on it.
 A small step of yours will encourage others. As it is well said, CHARITY BEGINS AT HOME ….
  So let us start OUR MOVE on keeping our surrounding clean, maintenance of ponds, lakes and tube wells. Water is the important element of our life and we cannot let it go this way.
One move of your, will give confidence to your neighbors and friends. This is how you the initiative will start and reach to its aim soon. 
    Let the superior authority think on this. Why should we?  Mind-set should be thrown out of our mind.                                                                  
                 We should take our move, let others follow us. Gradually and little by little every one will develop into a part of it and we would achieve our aim i.e. preservation of water.
for instance, if one day you forget to carry your water bottle in office/college , recall that moment how it feels…. its terrible. Buying water from stores is not a cheap deal. Several monopoly retailers are making money by selling bisleri or any water bottle at price higher than that. You end up buying bisleri paying 2 rupees extra to the shopkeeper (you are helpless you feel). However not many of us are aware of the phone numbers which are available exactly up on the board of this shopkeepers only.
Most of the stalls in railway stations have this emergency phone number to report on high price charged by the shopkeeper. Next time you feel you are been charged more than the MRP, look around for the number, dial and report it. Water is a costly deal nowadays. So save it by making its use in an efficient manner.
 
  Those pictures revealed in the episode were so awful. Comparing to foreign country rivers, our rivers stand nowhere. They are spotless whereas ours are contaminated. Once I saw the pictures, something really strained me. I felt helpless for sometime and could visualize the complete mismanaged organization of water.
   Time to take our move. Do little for you and the society as a whole. One show like satyamev jayate can encourage us, so why can’t we avail the benefit of it .Take part in water conservation and save rainwater .Visit the satyamev jayate site and you get the details of it. How to save water and with less or no money spent.

     High time friends, our move will motivate thousands of people around us and it can multiple to lacks. Out of crores of people, even if thousands do take step forward, VICTORY is all ours.
Come forward do something to save your own nation. The nation is already being corrupted now don’t let the environment fall victim of it. We have time to save it from being eradicated.
Let us unite together and make promises to ourselves to win over the evil path by spreading awareness regarding water conservation all over again.

SATYAMEV JAYATE ( part 1 )


SATYAMEV JAYATE
PART 1: AFTER EFFECTS


                  As everybody speculated about the much hyped show SATYAMEV JAYATE to be breaking all the records so far regarding the TRPs as well as the altogether different concept by Mr. Perfectionist aamir khan. So far so good. Show went on air. aamir sir wanted each and every family member to sit together and watch it with family , as few years back families in India used to do ( nowadays it has become impossible to sit with family and watch something on television , thanks to our out of the box directors and creative heads )  . Remember our childhood wasn’t the same. Ramayana, Mahabharata , Shri Krishna , Vishnu puran and many more mythological stories use to come on Doordarshan ( later on cable too ) and we use to sit with our family and watch it on Sundays . Aamir sir wanted this same thing to repeat again (history repeats) for SATYAMEV JAYATE.
Promotion was done so tactfully, it seemed everything is going to be perfect.  Although the show was doing rounds on controversies since the beginning.
   The concept was to show the real India (India behind bars). No doubt, the creative team (including aamir khan) has done a great job. I wonder how they managed to get information about such critical issues (many of us were unaware of various issues of India till it was aired on satyamev jayate). Master mind was so terrific that it was aired on whole star network as well as once a upon a time, our very own Doordarshan.
       the various issues raised on show like female foeticide, child sexual abuse, dowry system in India, medical malpractices , love marriage and honour killings in India to name a few…and recently old age ( our generation needs to learn something from this episode ) .
   All this episodes had very good impact on our society (still I can’t see any change around me but only on papers).    


    Recently aamir khan tweeted about the changes that happened 
 “Great news guys! Maharashtra govt. announces Generic medicines to be made available! Thank u CM sir Mr. Chavan & Health Min Mr. Suresh Shetty”
This impact was due to the episode shown on medical malpractices.
Another tweet was made about law passed by lok sabha against child abuse.
Hey guys, great news! The Lok Sabha has passed the Protection of Children against Sexual Offences Bill today!!! Unbelievable!!! Super News! 
 This was aamir sir’s step towards our nation. What is our stake on this?
We live in a democratic country, please recall those civics lesson done at school time… for the people, by the people and to the people.
   Unity is strength and divided we fall. Heard of it many times, lets make it a live example by uniting and proving the proverb true for coming generation with a live example of us.

 We Indians do shy about doing something which is extrovert or extra ordinary thing. I would say, throw away your wariness (reserve that for your marriage) and come out of you shell; participate with people who are already into helping INDIA.
  Just few episodes of satyamev jayate and decided to help INDIA, help ME and help US. So why can’t others (who regularly followed the show) contribute little.


 Your little contribution to society will build a proud NATION again, which was corrupted by our beloved politicians (not all are terrible). Madness of few and jail yatra for all.
