An Ode to the Inspiration of Humanity from the World of Hindi Cinema

Hello Everyone! I hope you all are having a great sunday. Sending my readers a dessert on their way to sweeten your thoughts, words and mind. :)

While I have too many thoughts to pen down. I was marveled with the idea as to what would be that perfect blog that will do justice to my reader's expectation. Honestly, I never realized an ordinary person like me will end up having ample amount of readers. I am extremely overjoyed with the support I have received from all of you. My learning out of this whole episode is Your appreciation can be a source of stepping stone to other's success and it is wrong to presume things. We should rather expect the unexpected. Faith in your own self is of utmost importance. I have so many people to thank who has followed me on twitter and my existing friends too who has inspired me to the core to keep writing and even promised I will have them as my reader always even if I have none so I must keep writing. (Thanks to Supratik,Shesadri, Yugesh and Priyadarshini for the motivation.)

Most of all there is a special person who deserve thanks from me in an extra ordinary way as for me her acknowledgement was sheer encouragement. I know today I have earned lot of readers because she believed in my message and spread the word. My whole objective was to only let people know that how important our lives are. This video is a tribute to her and of course everyone who is the proud member of I AM FAMILY! :)

Each and every word came out of my heart, there was one and only person who read it and that is The woman of sheer elegance, the most enigmatic persona, the voice of today's woman Former Miss Universe and a multi-talented actress Sushmita Sen (Mam). Today I am going to talk about two most important personality of Hindi CInema. One you already know.

The other is the Birthday boy today. I do not know him personally but I do have a strong connection with him. Yesterday was Father's Day. I wish you all a Very Happy Father's Day and yes it started all from my Baba. My Baba used to bring his films home and was ardent fan of his. In my childhood I would watch my sister dressing up and shaking her legs in his songs. He is a Man who is at the epitome of respect in the film industry and people who know him personally, it is the Great Mithun Chakraborty or Dada or Mithunda what ever you like to call him. I wish him a Very Happy Birthday today and I hope he is making the best of every moment of it. Here is a song as a tribute to him on his Birthday.

Today is a day of celebration and I have so many reasons to be in high spirits. One of those and most important is I am writing another blog today and secondly truly dedicated to his work and a perfect Daddy's son I know as a friend is ready for a benchmark in his career. Mahaakshay Chakraborty son of the great actor Mithun Chakraborty is all geared up for the release of their upcoming film Enemmy which is their home production scheduled on coming friday 21st June 2013.

 I wish him and the team all the very best for that and praying for its success.

We all have inhibitions about ourselves at some point in our life. But some people can inspire us with their tremendous will power and challenges that they have taken in life that yes we too can do it!

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
Helen Keller 
 

Sushmita Sen (Mam)  when was crowned as Miss.Universe, was an achievement for the whole Country which had been only possible with her sheer dedication and her complete faith and desire at that tender age. I do remember I was very young but I could see the spark of pride in my Baba's eyes. He was so proud to see a girl reach such a huge international platform and come out with a grand victory. He appreciated her achievement and said that there is lot to learn from her and he said "follow footsteps of such people which will one day make you something I will be proud of." He did not mean I had to win the title of Miss. Universe but to incur the greatness, compassion and faith what they are made of. And yes I did get a lot inspired by this wonderful, charming woman of substance Sushmita Sen (Mam).

She walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies 
And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in her aspect and her eyes
Thus mellowed to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies. 

One shade the more, one ray the less, 
Had half impaired the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, 
Or softly lightens o'er her face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express 
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.

- George Gordon Byron

Sushmita Sen (Mam) practically is a representation of a woman's capability, what is woman empowerment and how an independent woman is a representation of ultimate strength and will power. She said few days back in one of her tweets that "you are enough". Yes, it is true certain losses breaks us inside and living life becomes the greatest misery. We are human and we do feel like human being but when we are born on earth it was not our wish, it was because somebody else wanted us to. He sent us for a reason. It is our karma to live the life and make a difference not only to ourselves but to people around too that we live with in our own way. When our time will come we will have to go and we are not entitled to put our lives to an end by ourselves. Instead, till then our duty is to make our life worthwhile and also people we love and who love us back, we must appreciate and thank them because they are the one who makes us who we are.

I respect Sushmita Sen (Mam) for her compassion, she alone is growing 2 most divine angel. With an upbringing of such higher stature I am certain they would be inherited with the charming and the compassionate persona of their mother.

Dear Mam,

Pardon my words, but I always have looked up to you and have felt so inspired. Your lovely tweets makes our day and sends the vibes of positivism around.Hence please keep sending your blessed tweets to us. :)

Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender, that is strength.
Arnold Schwarzenegger 

"I am somebody who has talent but due to my nature of an introvert i am reluctant to let people know about it."

 The more you explore your talent the more you inspire others to explore theirs. In your effort to do that we might fail, we might fall down. But winners are those who keep fighting. My blog is lot today about this 2 most iconic personality of our country. It does take lot of hardship to be like them. I have known a lot about Mr.Mithun Chakraborty since my childhood days. Yes certainly because of the Bong connection I tend to know a little more about him. He is one person who came up hard way. he has lived in street lights and slept on road but today he is proud achiever of several awards and recognition including National Awards for his mind blowing performances. Even today he is making a mark, my personal favorite is OMG in his recent movies. He is considered the MJ of India for his dancing and he is the one who introduced the concept of disco dancing in India. That is his achievement. Socially too he is an active personality and he has pets in his house whom he call his children. It is him who manages to stay grounded and still so human even after making to so big. We all are aware he is also a business man owning hospitality properties down South.

He is a achiever outside and a family man at home. That is what we call Greatness!

Our Compassion, Our faith makes who we are! We all have strengths just waiting to be explored. This blog of mine is an ode to the 2 most inspiring personalities in Bollywood. I hope we keep seeing more of them and keep getting inspired at each stages of our life.

"Trust yourself. Create the kind of self that you will be happy to live with all your life. 
Make the most of yourself by fanning the tiny, inner sparks of possibility into flames of achievement."

Life is a gift

"Rain, Rain please pour on me

Rain, Rain please set me free"

- Lucy Gocher

Hi everyone! I am sure you all are enjoying the lovely rain in Mumbai and also the people who do not live in the city is experiencing the exhilarating shower. Please enjoy the rain but make sure that you take care of your health. As much we can avoid outside food is better for our own hygiene and sanity.

Now you must be thinking why I am tempting you with this? I am so mean!! :(( Haa Haa!! ;)

However I strongly believe that do not compromise your appetite on bhaijiyas and chai in rain. Work the sweat out later but do not miss it. Just go to kitchen and help yourself. As the more you help yourself the less you  will expect others to help you. :)

To start with, I am not a regular blogger but something inside is driving me to write this. Yes! I know as a matter of fact I may have no reader too as I am not a well known personality or a celebrity. But that does not really matter. May be I have that one reader that I want who by chance reads this. In that case, I would feel my purpose is solved. I know I am taking a leap of faith but I want to take that and believe that it would help. This leap of faith I am taking for my fellow people for whom I care so much. I do not blog regularly because I don't want to write about myself,who would be any way interested to know about me? Although as a matter of fact I am quite introvert that way and love to keep my life to myself but not happiness. It is meant to be shared with everyone, smile is meant to bring on our face first and then spread it. As the perfume of happiness is such which you cannot sprinkle on others without having few drop on yourself.

I want to pay tribute to the lovely Jiah Khan who died an unfortunate death few days back and also to Bruno Mars's mother. I offer my condolence and prayers to their family and I want to dedicate a song to both of them and everyone out there reading my blog.

“Many people need desperately to receive this message: 'I feel and think much as you do, care about many of the things you care about, although most people do not care about them. ” 
― Kurt Vonnegut, Timequake

I am not that one person who wants to leave you alone when you are sad or will tap on your shoulder saying "I am with you" and walk my way out silently, I am also not the one possibly who will come to your rescue  in all your shortfalls but I am the one who wants you to be strong enough to deal with it, and also know that although we believe we are alone in our sorrow and pain the fact is we are not.

“A fine glass vase goes from treasure to trash, the moment it is broken. Fortunately, something else happens to you and me. Pick up your pieces. Then, help me gather mine.” 
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

It may be true the one whom we want the most to be with us may not be there, but there would be someone willing to stand by you, support you, and who believes in you. Above all there is one who sits all above us. When you want something desperately and you fail and still through some source you are being offered some opportunity believe that someone there is working on to fulfill your dream, all you need to do is try and work a little harder.

I say "Believe in others but believe in yourself the most and above all believe in God" 

When you want something desperately Universe conspires to achieve that for you. 

I know right now you are laughing at me thinking what the heck I am writing as I am clueless of what do you want. Your girl friend is cheating on you? Or you want a girl but unable to tell her. Your work bothering you? Or the Man of your life? Our life revolves around our work, love and family life. If any of those goes wrong then can you thank Universe for once for what is good in your life? Imagine for those, whose everything goes wrong simultaneously. Ever gave a thought how it is to them? Lets say you know it, you experienced it. So how does it feel? You don't get sleep if you get you don't want to wake up? You over eat or you don't eat? We all have our own ways to deal with our depression and still try we must do something to make us feel good.

Please try this if you can. When you are immensely sad write down in a piece of paper of the little good things that you have and what more you want or see happening. Keep reading it, draw pictures and keep looking at it and believe you are getting it. The key to happiness is imagining and believing what you want will happen to you and keeping no doubts in your heart about it. See if the sad phase do not come in our life then we do not learn, it only make us stronger. All we need to do is have a little patience to let that phase pass. Each year is a cycle starting from a second in a day. So think! a day starts with the onset of the sun in the dawn, then morning, then noon, then evening following the sunset and eventually night. It happens each and every day and help us also too to maintain order of the day. Similarly the year is comprised with seasons where we experience the hot summer, the wet monsoon, the pleasant spring and pretty autumn and gradually the chilling winter. Even time has to go through these phases each day and through out the year so we being human being also have to live phases, happiness, sadness, achievement, success, down fall etc. It is important how we hold ourselves together in all these phases.

Going away of a person from our life for example does not decides our destiny, we may feel for a time being that way. But give time some time. If someone is meant to be yours will be yours and someone is meant to stay away for your good so be it. Think about yourself, you must be having so many things which are great in your life with or without that person or the thing that you desire most. I know how it feels when you reach the edge of  your emotions. Do not tell me there is nothing to hold you back. It is your life. If you live you can always try to get your thing back or if you go away you fail for ever. I do not want you to give up on the thing you most desire until you really want to. But I want to tell you irrespective of you have that thing or not there are lots in store and also people around who are equally loving and will give you happiness that you seek.

Ok now lets talks about me!

I will share some wishes of mine with you!

I want a night adventure in a forest, camp fire, tent etc

I want to do under water diving (I dont know to swim ;))

I want to drink a bottle of scotch with on a snow caped mountain and dance like Amitabh Bachchan in Sharaabi wearing a LBD

I want to have a belly as sexy like Shakira and dance in Beautiful liar ;)

I want to run by the seaside bare footed in the rain  

I want to ride a bike and live like a hippie for a while, freak out and do some daring stuff.

SO TELL ME ABOUT YOU!

There are many other things I want to do but this is all I would share right now. ;) I am sure you can also think of hundred things  right now. So do you think you want to give up on your life? Without accomplishing it? Its not worth for anyone or anything. One life, please make the best of it. It is so so precious not only to you but look around there must be people who want you to just not write in the message that you are happy because that is what they want to read but ones who wants you to be truly happy and smiling from the bottom of your heart. As they care about you and your smile. Well I raise my hand, even if I dont know my reader who is reading it I care for you and I want you to consider that I would be happy if you try to be happy. Live life because it is beautiful and not worth losing for anyone or anything. They might get alternative of you but your family wont. Be a fighter and you will win! :)
