Life has always something new for you ....

Everyone defines their life in their own way. Many situations do come in our life which change us in various ways. Sometimes they become the reason for our maturity too. We become sensible and more responsible.

Even I too had have some incidents in my life which were a thorough lesson for my well being. From depression to attain a normal healthy peaceful life was a tough job but fortunately I did it. I understand how much have I changed in past 5-6 years. My way of visualizing anything has changed a lot. The things which would have no meaning are worthy having my attention. When I had my worst time of my life (till date because I don't know what is going to come up again in my life) like others I broke down. Unfortunately not only one incident kept knocking on my door, but multiples. Seriously I broke down. But it is true, everything which is happening has a reason behind it. Or it is like we tend to take those as lesson and then make it a good reason behind everything in future. Whatever it is, it actually makes sense & seriously it made sense in my life. Thank god my depression didn't take me in another side of darker sphere. I just found myself in a new horizon and that was the time when I revived knowing my heart and mind in a new way. I drowned myself into my hobbies and suddenly with depression and vexation I started writing down again and started blogging (so here am I). I used to write in childhood, just like every other kids do, maintaining a diary of daily life. I did never know that I could write in a way which can please many readers. The happiest moment for me was when I first got a best wishes comment on my blog. I really felt like "Does anyone read my blog? Can my writing be liked too? " .. huh ... what else can be so pleasing than this ? Isn't this a big thing? Since then I keep myself available in blogger and seriously it is an immense joy

Another thing I have learned to not expect. Because expectations kill. An emotional fool like me can be killed very easily. I find happiness in very little things but day by day gradually I have stopped thinking about my future, I have stopped planning my future, I have stopped expecting anything from this life. I just know that I need to go on and work. Because if I am honest with my doings in life, I will be rewarded with some good and positive thing that I should not think of before my work. I see people running in race to compete each other. Even I was also like this once upon a time. Who doesn't right ? We are all living beings and everyone has their dreams to live big. But frankly saying I compete with myself now a days. I compare my life from past few years to now. That defines my betterment.  I hate feeling jealous of others, I hate to compete with each others, rather I love to listen if something good happens to someone. Because if they have it, they have owned it with their own work, deeds and fate. What will I do with that ? I see most people to get gloomy at other's betterment. That hurts me. I don't know why. I only know that I have taken birth as human to live a peaceful life where I can only learn more more and more. At the end of the day of life I do not want to regret of not living it. God has created me thus I should be responsible of taking care of it by removing all negative vibes and to emerge myself into the sea of divinity. I may sound weird but that is how I am and I know that this is good. This feels good and really if someone really wants to enjoy her/his own life then the best way is to not compare with others. Rather keep on learning and happy for the things you have achieved till date. Come on, be your own identity and stay blessed . I may sound so philosophical. But that is how my few experiences changed me in that way. I feel that the life with a healthy body, enough wealth to live a life in justified way, with beautiful parents, sweet sister is a bless. There are many who take birth as a human but are unfortunate of not having many things. I am living a far better life than them for God's grace and that is the reason I should be happy for.

I dance, I write, I cook, I sing out loud, I listen loads of music, I paint and I do these all because these make me feel happiest and independent. Creation is always beautiful and the joy of creating anything is immense. Life is one so it is best to take out the utmost squeezed flavor of it. 

I love my life and I love the way I am living it now. #StartANewLife

Dance is what I do live for

First thing which poked my mind while reading the happy hours tagline was about the day when I realized once again  that I should keep up my dance again. So here how the story goes.

Like every other Bengali household my mother too insisted me to take up dance lessons in childhood as she saw me following my sister's footsteps. I was 6-7 years old by then. My elder sister was already learning Kathak and was already in a duty to teach me some home lessons in free time. In my kinder garden school I was the only one to perform solo dance, that was taught by my kiddo sister (didibhai). so I joined Kathak classes and started learning the Kathak basics,Taals, Thekas and other related lessons. But I was too young to understand the value of it and frankly saying attending classical classes became nightmare for me. I found it boring and tough enough. Gradually I grew up and faced hectic to manage time between studies and dance (Though I realize now that if there is a WILL, time matters least and excuses become ZERO) so I quitted learning dance. Time flew. I passed my +2 exams too and was told by my parents to join classes again. Though I was enjoying my simple dance programs, I still wasn't in hurry to join classes. But then suddenly I was sent to Tamilnadu to pursue my Engineering . Tamilnadu, a place which is much similar to WEst Bengal in the matter of practicing and respecting the heritage of Art and Culture. Tamilnadu is a place where a day starts with carnatic bhakti geet and sounds of bell ringing in temples, a place where most of the girls learn classical dance as ritual and where people can praise any talent of Art. I was like able to connect myself more to the music of South India and the rich culture of Tamilnadu. No doubt, I too have been grown up seeing the culture and art of my city since childhood. So it was like my only way to feel the connection.

Then a day came in 2008, which just flipped my mind and made my decision so stronger and that changed my present too. It was Women's day celebration at my hostel. All hostel girls, wardens, principals & chairperson and to perform as own wish. Most of the girls participated there. Even I too sung few Hindi songs, many sung, recited and delivered speech. But the magic happened when some girls insisted chairperson to ask me to dance. I had no option and I had to dance then. They played "Mere dholna sun" from Bhoolbhulaiya that time it was a big hit and I danced madly like no one was watching. When I finished I saw something which I never expected to have happened. All girls were bursting out of joy and claps. Many outcomers too entered our Mess, all the staffs who were absent were seen standing here and there clapping for me. It was like crowded place and I was the only one to stand still. Many came, hugged me, wished me and few came up with teared & happy eyes. Most importantly chairperson held my hands and took me to her room, told me to sit down and relax, offered me with milk & food and then slowly praised my art and told to continue. I was shivering with joy and out of my mind.

On that night I decided to take my once again because I realized that I could entertain people, give others a visually empowered joy through the language of my body, my dance. During college I couldn't start up taking lessons but I continued performing. Later when I came back to Kolkata finally and got a job, I started learning  Odissi from scratch. Now I am pursuing my 5th year in Odissi and learning  more, more and more. Though I barely give my time to dance on weekdays but I devote myself on weekends into dance. I dance for my joy. I dance for my happiness and I dance for getting the freedom of my soul. It is the only way via which I can connect to the supreme power. Few say I am obsessed with it, few say I am mad because my hands and feet both move if I listen to music and match up the rhythm. But yes I want to dance & would love to live with it till I take my last breath. I want to die seeing myself dancing within me.

P.S Such a co-incidence in writing this post. Today is also Women's day and the day I mentioned was also the same. From 8th March, 2008 to 8th March, 2015 the biggest change that has happened in my life is that I have completely immersed in Dance and would love to keep on doing it.

Who is responsible ?

pic : golablpost

For past few days one post of MENXP is getting circulated over the web and that is about how we (women) should react in public. The post is useful and really talks about the agony a man suffers  from.
                                  

Yes I agree not all men are molesters, not all of them are rapists. Not all uncles try to touch our body or our private parts. Not all chokras tease us and still we women give a cold stare to men who accidentally get in touch with us physically in public places. In buses, metros, trains or any public market it happens that suddenly a man and a woman collide in a such bad condition that apparently it seems that the guy did it intentionally and meanwhile women do respond badly either with facial expression or via some verbal throw.

It happened with me too many times and I see it happening daily with some XYZ trespassers in railway platform, auto stand. Few aunties react badly, few understand and let them go.

Now from a women's perspective I would like to say one thing. I am not being biased though. Men and Women both are two faces of mankind. We both are human. Yes I agree that we differ from mental and biographical ways but is it not annoying to get stalked by the other part of mankind in such a bad way. Forget about womanhood. Would any living beings like to get touched by some unknown? Even a cat or a dog gets annoyed if we play inhumanly with them. But this inhuman tasks have been happening for long times. Now the post which claimed us to not give cold stare to them if their bag suddenly brushes our body or if they suddenly touch us in unusual way. But our(women's) psychology has become like that. We unconsciously suffer from insecurity of being molested or being insulted in public place. It is like being alarmed every time. So if a innocent boy falls upon us or keeps their hand over ours to hold the handle in metro too, we first face the feeling of discomfort. Because molestation has happened for each and every woman. Ask a woman or find a woman who will disagree or proudly state that "yes I have never had such experience". It will be hardest work.
So who is responsible for that ? Can anyone change our insecurity problem ?

I Devote you, I Pray you and I Believe in You .... and Yes I meet you

In the prolong engagement

with  you 

I have been trying to grease 

within you 

Every time I listen you

I search for the substance 

that blends me down

into the softer side of my own

I break, I splinter into many moods 

I close my eyes, feel you

& 

if I meet you 

I shed some drops of  enlightenment

that makes me feel to leave my body 

and to live with my soul

and think

where do you come from

from wind, soil or the sky

I try to touch 

but the strings of creation 

do play and echo around the whole

the amalgamation of Rhythm, Beats and Tempo

snatches  my soul

blends me down

into softer side of my own

I break, I splinter into many moods

I close my eyes, feel you

and yes I meet you

I DEVOTE YOU

I PRAY YOU

I BELIEVE IN YOU

MUSIC is my SOUL 

& 

MUSIC is my GOD

Skyline Walks Through

If a flower sheds down before it blossoms,
If the stars bid goodbye before the dawn,
If the air stops blowing before it touches the soul
and If a soul leaves the world before it experiences the beauty of life ....

The skyline walks through the wary of faded grief !!

It is heart depressing to hear any news of death and it is bitter when any young soul leaves the world. Would like to post a picture of Talia Joy here as she was the iconic braveheart who fought with cancer and before she died, she gave this world a beautiful message of staying happy. She is no more and like her many cancer patients die everyday, every moment and that is so grieving.

R.I.P all the cancer living and non living bravehearts.

Shhhhhhhhh.... Amitabh

Sha sha sha mi mi mi mi ta ta ta bha .. What a star ..

Ja ja jaaha kahin jaane jaana What a star

♫ ♫ ♫ ♫

Why did I watch the movie ? Yes I will write them here now and again here I am not writing any review or not gonna to put any stars ... 

The story evolves with opening up the main characters one by one. The story is about a partnership of two different people collaborating together to fix a standalone icon Shamitabh and their individual egos, superiority and inferiority consciousnesses and also the hidden love and care for each other. One person - Dhanish (played by Dhanush) is a mute man who is captivated in the world of movies and acting and also holds the super ability of acting since childhood. On the other hand, Amitabh Sinha (played by Amitabh Bachhan) is a riotous drinker and a failed actor with no will power left in brain. and the third person - Akshara (played by debutante Akshara Hassan) who is an Assistant Director and the key picker of those two persons and mixing up together and that's the way Shamitabh appears. When two interdependent things or substances start feeling that one is better than the other, ego arises and their the destruction encounters. The story was a teller of this. But the end of the movie could be different as it was not expected. Sorry friends will not disclose more here. Go and watch Shamitabh. 


R. Balki is a sensitive person I feel and he makes the movies in a bit different way, I love dramas and his movies are complete manifestation of the word Drama. They just flow in their own way with a simple and strong story line. Also R.Balki's movies are incomplete without Illayaraja's music and Amitabh Bachhan. On this note, I would like confess that I don't even know how many times my tongue slipped and sounded "OOF ... GOD" .. because the appearance of Big B was kind of that, He can spark also with his voice (even Rekha to uttered that the word voice of GOD here) and the way he was standing, staring and giving the rugged and harsh looks in the movie was just out of my stock of  speeches.. There comes Dhanush - seriously he is tough actor now. I can't compare the Padikadhavan guy and Shamitabh/ Ranjhhnaa guy. A mute, crazy and passionate character was well played by him and yes acting beside Big B with the same strength and confidence is a thing to be applauded. Akshara - well a daughter of talented father and a talented sister, she too did quite a good job though being a debutante, quite free to screen and beautiful too.

My favorite scenes 

1. When the little Dhanish was being told to act in his school as if his mother died and he did that.
2. The audition of Dhanish
3. The time when Amitabh was talking to Robert De Niro, infront of his poster. It was fantastic to watch the two legends together, though not in real but Sr. Bachhan was tremendous.
4. The tiff between dhanuSH,AMITABH
5.The way Amitabh was singing in bathroom (Piddley si baatein)
6. The final scene of the SILENT (Shhhhhhhhhhh) Amitabh.


My favorite tracks 

1. Shamitabh title track
2. Piddley si baatein
3. Stereophonic Sannata

Now those who don't know about the last song, I would like to post here the video of the original track from Rajnikanth's movie composed by Illayaraja. It's Aaasiya Kathula Thootu Vittu ♫

 In  the end would love to say that if you want to watch this movie, then watch this for the two lead actors and get your mind amazed. 

P.S It is always a privilege to watch a sensitive movie with least people in theater and no one sitting beside you . Only 5 people were there in theater while watching . So if possible try watching it with proper silence and feel the rhythm  of ACTING ..

Mercy please... if any typos found  *********************

Scratch and Burst !!

Total Silence....

sounds of scratch ... Khass Khass Khrushhhhh ..... 

Skin - Oh I am itching so much, colorful nails please do scratch one more time. I bet I won't call you again.

Nails - Oh yes yes !! I will always help you dear skin. After all you glow so much and I can't bear the tingling sensation you are getting. Wait let me scratch a bit harshly.

Skin - Ah .. Thank you .. but it is still paining.

Pimple 1 - Hello friends, will you escort me in this short and firm journey? I am coming for a little vacation. Just thought to come up and get some air.

Skin - Noo... Nails do something. I told you to scratch well right? then how come the pimple appear with this ease. Just cut the base of that stupid tiny pimple.

Nails - yes Madam. Wait !! Ready steady and here I am ... Haaiiyaaa huu.. (squeezes the Pimple 1)

Pimple 1 - I can not believe it. This much cruel how can someone be? I didn't come up and you just blew me out? wait now you will see me. I will leave the dark spot right there where you just buried me. (weeps badly)

Pimple 2 - It seems pimple 1 is crying out there. I should go and see.(Pimple 2 comes up)

Pimple 2 - OMG... you are dead Pimple 1?? I will take the revenge now. I am not going down. I will stay here and grow big and invite all other pimples to come up and unite to fight against the odd which has happened to Pimple 1... Yay.. Attackkkkkkkkkkkkk


and this is the story of my skin ... for last few years my skin, nails and those tiny idiotic pimples must have had the same conversation. I had used Garnier Pure Neem face wash once and really got good result, but as the story stated there, the pimples come up for short vacation and then become fighter.They just spread over and over.
and more over so it becomes really tough to care for skin in such a way after a hectic tiring day. But yes Neem is the natural and the rooted herb which cures many health problems so yes if it is about NEEM then that is always to be appreciated. I beg of you pimples .. to leave my skin alone and yes do not test the temper of my nails. Please help me out !! 


Many will agree with me right ?? Put your hands up ...
