“Love” “Faith” “Hope”

            Love is an emotion of a strong affection and personal attachment. Love is also a virtue representing all of human kindness, compassion, and affection.


           Hope is the emotional state which promotes the belief in a positive outcome related to events and circumstances in one's life. Hope is the "feeling that what is wanted can be had or that events will turn out for the best".
        
           Faith is confidence or trust in a person or entity. Also defined as firm belief in something for which there is no proof.

Three different entities but when combined together can make a persons life complete and a reason to pull along. Some think that all the little things spoken in this post may be totally not necessary or uncalled for. But I am person who likes to convey my emotions and thoughts right out clear, so for the moment these three words make a significantly important part of my life. “Life is like a Tetris puzzle you fill in every block where you think is right at the moment unknown what new type of blocks await as you go level higher in life.” Some blocks that put in help you to score whereas some blocks might easily create trouble in your progress in the game of life. Here in the post I am not planning to tell you what you should do under such conditions or how you have to mange your game in order to pass it with the maximum highest score possible. All I want or intent to do is set your thoughts into thinking mode, after you complete reading this with the thought of how well you connect with me as an author.
  
Right from the time we are born to time we wither away from this life of ours we always have an objective; some necessary, some not necessary. In strive to accomplish this part of our life we always do things that we think is right, unknown that all of it is one way or the other connected to the feelings said above. For example: I as an author right now live with this HOPE that you as my readers would read the post. You as a reader would have a FAITH in me that as an author, I may have written something worth reading and pondering upon. And both this felling bundle upon maybe the LOVE between both you as the reader and me as the writer. In the last 22 years of my life I would say I have seen pretty much a lot of the feeling said above. But one thing I am very ascertaining about is that there is still a lot more awaiting.

Silly little four letter and five letter words. Some joke over it. Some godly believe in it. I neither do both to it, because when I start doing either of the both, I am not thinking straight as a person should do. I have my loved ones around me my friends, my family and my very special one. Like I do have people around me I am ascertain that you also have those special ones around you who make you feel special and wanted all along. That’s how it should be for a person to be happy and wake up everyday for a reason to be. You might have watched lots of movies in both Hollywood and Bollywood that depict the feelings. Some connect to us some don’t this all depends on the situation that we would be in at that very instance. People mostly assume love leads the main role in controlling the other two feelings. But I will contradict it because even without any love for a person we at times hope and have faith over an entity. Think over it and I am ascertaining, you would also feel the thoughts I share is true to some good extent. A good example would be our hope that we would get a certain stuff from a person be it friend or a stranger it does not depend upon the bond of love we share with or for the person. I don’t plan to write much on this topic individually on this post as I feel maybe I can write better in the feelings felt individually in different posts.

Words seem to get exhausted as I write this prologue of mine because there are certain feeling that can only be felt and not written upon. But a feel to write pulls me to do so. Love, hope and trust as I said before works hand in hand but then there are incidents where these feeling true can lead to the downfall of a person. Desires as I would say to get all the three from our fellow mates lead us into the pit. We should live with the feeling but never allow only these feeling to drive us. We are a master and an author of our life, but when we entirely lend the reins of our life blind eyed into the hands of the person, we trust or love they can misuse it entirely or partially. Learn to trust your instincts but never your feelings. At the same time never totally ignore your feelings because they are the reason you want to live and pull your life along. 


I don’t think I may be an excellent writer, but I hope and have faith in myself. That somewhere while you were reading the post you may have thought about your loved ones, and thought about what you hope from them, and till what extent resides your faith in them.

MUMBAI vs PUNE ( PART 1 )



You already probably reading the document might assume that maybe what I am going to write is about some IPL match that happened in the past two years between the two cities but then if your other side selected that it’s a review about the two cities then you are right. You need a pat on yourself for that good work.

So let me start, my trip to city of pune was totally unexpected and sudden so I wasn’t prepared totally or to be truthful I wasn’t prepared at all actually. I had planned to go to the palace and stay at my dad’s friend’s place with my dad and sis but due to some certain undesirable reasons they had to go off to Kerala. So the plan of staying over in the city and checking out seem to be distant dream. But I wasn’t ready to get back after reaching so far and so close to pune. One thing was certain that if I didn’t get or make use of my opportunity to stay in the city some how this time then may be never will I get one ever.

I was still in a place called Talegaon not far actual Pune city but still it’s not the city right. Talegaon is similar to Mumbai’s outskirt place like stations beyond Badlapur in central line or Vasai in western. To get to Talegaon I had catch a local from Lonavala station to pune city and mind it there is only one train every hour so if you miss one then man you got to wait for an entire hour to get on to the next local.


Anyways I was done with Talegaon by evening 7pm and on the way to pune city excited and happy that I am going to get to spend a night alone for the first time in my life and that to in a place totally unknown to me.  Man it was just going to be awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!. Geared with my camera standing at the station Talegaon for the local to arrive I wasted literally about 45 mins because the train wasn’t ready to arrive on due to track clearance. Finally boarded the train to wait for another 15 mins just because another fast express train had to pass by. Seriously it’s irritating just because there is a single track for both the locals and the express. So the puny local trains are always made to wait for the express to pass by. Anyway the train started and I reached Pune station at around 9pm and that was a tiring journey. Met a guy, actually a student so spoke to him through out the way to know the city better.

So then I got down met my friend at station who arranged for my accommodation for the night but I had to have my dinner before bunking. So after a bit of searching for a restaurant to eat, found one and ordered a thali. But seriously it rotted and tears rolled down my eyes, thinking how great Mumbai’s food was and I can get anything, anywhere, anytime I need not worry. Anyways having it I moved on to get a bus that would take me to the place called as S.B Road, Pune. Its just 10pm and I cant get a single rick or a bus right in front from the Pune station which would never happen in any part of Mumbai right. Finally got a rick and had to pay him a whopping amount of 70 rs jus for a 30rs traveling anyways it was a something better than nothing so had to take it. Reached the place and visited a multiplex at 11pm in the night the first late night show in my life ever. And one thing that I noticed was that the tickets were really cheap compared to what you would have to pay in Mumbai for that time of the show that to on a weekend. Got out of the theatre at 2am and the city holds a deserted look as expected. On enquiring with my friend I came to know that this is the most happening place in the city. Ha-ha in Mumbai the most happening place always has people roaming around and fast vehicles passing by.

Talking more and roaming around in the night I get to know that the people in the city talk in kms and not in mins or hours. Maybe you didn’t get it, ok for example if some asks you how far is Vashi to CST. A mumbaikar would say its about an hour from Vashi whereas if you as the same to a punekar who knows mumbai would reply it is about 30 kms. Now you got the vital difference between a mumbaikar and a punekar. Finally its 3am and a good time to take refuge on the bed settled up for me at my friends room.



That’s for the Part 1 if you think I should continue then may be I will go into the part two. That’s the last final day I mean J

More fun and more discoveries to follow.

KAHANI Review


First have to congratulate Vidya Balan for receiving the national award for her character and the role she portrayed in “The Dirty Picture”. Kudos to her it was my first ‘Vidya Balan’ movie to be seen on the big screen but then she didn’t capture my attention or any type of fantasy. But things of the past should not be revoken from the dead its better left at peace six feet under. And having said so I would like to add on that the my second movie of the national award winner just set me smiling with proud that this girl from a small town in Kerala has made all malayalees proud!!!!!!!!!

The movie ‘kahani’ does seriously tell a story about the last heroes of the war against terrorism in a subtle yet strong manner. The way the character and her life through the streets of the city of kolkata has been capture to the best possible manner sets the movie into a different genre in Indian cinema. The movie revolves around two stronger invisible characters “Milan damji” and “bagvchi”. It at times feels as if the lady in the movie is more of a supporting character to these two invisible heroes. The camera has been handled in the best possible manner and it feels as if you are a part of the city streets and its celebrations. The movie has captured my attention because every element in the movie has been given equal importance be it real world entity, alive or dead, visible or invisible. The suspense and the thrill associated with the every character have been kept without breaking any hopes till the end. If you see through the movie you may notice that the cast of the movie is full of new comers into the industry but then again they have done the best honor to the character given to them.

“Mr Khan” and “Rana” does the most supreme justice to Vidya by supporting her throughout her search for her husband and the inspector adding on the comic. The thought that `The pregnant woman is the most harmless woman in the city` is just bluntly contradicted by Vidya and I have fallen in love with her for that reason. At times you will feel as if you are also searching for mrs. Bagchi husband. Vidya’s angelic beauty and sweetness has been used in the best possible manner to feel close to the character, which I doubt currently any actress in the industry could have done. Just her one sentence “Ithetha Ithetha” throughout the movie will get any south Indians attention to the fact that her character is a Tamilian fallen in love with Kolkata and her Bengali husband who is lost. The dresses she has worn though out the movie would certainly change the style of dressing for a woman who is pregnant. The boots give her the proper attire of a woman from London whereas the free flowing gowns give her the Indian look. Every mode of transport available in the city has been used shows in the depth the movie has fallen into to get in the right essence of the search.

2 hours and 15 minutes sitting it the dark theater watching on the screen, finally when I come out to the real world from the exit door I just feel as I left someone inside “VIDYA BALAN”. A person I am in love with currently. And as a little piece of advice I would say watch the movie with your friends who are movie addicts and rather than with your loves, because they might feel lonely with you too encapsulated into the flick or you might lose the flow due to you know what “I MEAN”.
