Tribute to Yash Chopra

Yash Raj Chopra - The legendary filmmaker and Bollywood's reigning 'King of Romance' is no more, leaving the entire country in a great state of shock. Everybody is numb hearing this sad news. With his 53-year long career, 22 films and the head of India's most powerful production house Yash Raj Films, he ruled the film industry. He defined the word 'Love'. Love was in every hue in every film of his. A man who wanted perfection in every aspect of his film. Who can forget the wonderful songs of his films which make his films immortal. Almost all his films were a box-office hit. Yashji actually knew the intensity, passion and uniqueness of love which no filmmaker was and will never be able to portray. He beautifully showed the complications, rough patches and passion in a man-woman relationship. He was a filmmaker who craved for more and more. He brought in radical themes such as : unwed motherhood in Dhool ka Phool, the communal divide in Dharmaputra, bigamy in Daag, the Oedipal complex in Lamhe, obsessive love in Darr and the Indo-Pak association in Veer-Zaara. He never believed in putting sexuality in his films. He said that for a film to be a blockbuster, there has to be a touch of Indian culture. Thus, he showed mainstream Indian values in each and every film of his. He was immensely in love with Indian culture. Yashji took us through the fabulous Switzerland landscapes, the tram & train journeys there etc in DDLJ apart from the delicious Punjabi wedding rituals & lingo, the famous Brazilian carnival, the canyons with a stream of Iguazu, the beautiful beach & city of Brazil in Dhoom 2, Amsterdam & London in Hum Tum, London & Istanbul in Ek tha tiger,etc etc etc.He announced his retirement from directing after directing the film Jab Tak Hai Jaan which is slated for a Diwali release. Nothing can be more ironical than the fact that he titled his film 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'. There can never be another Yash Raj Chopra. His sad demise marks the end of a whole era of love and romance. He will be missed and remembered forever by generations to come.

Zindegi ne bhaut kuch sikhadiya!!!!!!

Kabhi pehli bar school jaane mein dar lagta tha,

Aaj har rasta khud hi chunte hain…..

Kabhi mummy-papa ki har baatt sachi lagti thi,

Aaj unhi se jhooth bolte hain…….

Kabhi choti si chott kitna rulati thi,

Aaj dil toot jaata hai fir bhi sambhal jaate hai….

Pehle dost bus saath khelne tak yaad rehte the,

Aaj kuch dost jaan se zyada pyare lagte hain….

Ek din tha tension ka meaning maa se puchna padta tha,

Or aaj tension soulmate lagta hai…..

Ek din tha jab pal me ladna,pal me manana to rozka kam tha,

Aaj ek baar jo juda hue to rishte tak kho jate hain….

Sachi,zindegi ne bahut kuch sikhadiya,

Na jaane rab ne humko itne jaldi bada kyon bana diya……!!!!!!

I'm the girl

Today It's 11th Oct,World International girl child day...:) I thought to write something in my blog...then below things came to my mind....

Have a look.....

I'm the girl who will put her head on your shoulder, not because she's sleepy, but because she wants to be closer to you...

I'm the girl who likes to be kissed in the rain, more than inside your bedroom or in an expensive resturant...

I'm the girl who says,"ok, but you owe me..." jokingly not because I actually want something, but because it means I get to spend more time with you...

I'm the girl you can take absolutely anywhere and I will (or at least try to) have fun because it means I am spending time with you...

I'm the girl who is incredibly picky, but when I find someone I like I want to spend the whole night curled up in their arms...

I'm the girl who never forgets all the sweet little things you do for me...

I'm the girl who actually keeps her body parts in her clothing in public... most of the time

I'm the girl who never gives up hope even when I tell others I have...

I'm the girl who once I let you into my heart, there's always a place there with your name on it. And even if we spend time apart, I'm the girl who never forgets you.

I'm the girl who loves to end a hug with a kiss...

I'm the girl who you can talk to about anything...

I'm the girl who laughs at your jokes...

I'm the girl who will have many inside jokes with you and will remember each one...

I'm the girl who will brag about you to all of my friends...

I'm the girl who will listen to you talk...

I'm the girl who really does want to be friends after a break up...

I'm the girl who loves it when you hug me for no apparent reason...

I'm the girl who loves it when you hug me from behind or kiss me on the forehead..

I'm the girl who loves you for you, and doesn't care what other people say about us...

I'm the girl who loves it when you introduce me to your friends as your girlfriend...

I'm the girl who loves the feeling when you take me by the hand without saying a word...

I'm the girl....

Change is the only constant

Change is inevitable; this is something we have been reading and hearing since we started getting serious about life. Here we try to list some small changes that have affected every walk of life -People are taking longer to get married and 35 is a normal age now to get married. Children follow traditional methods and no longer are rebellious by nature. They do not believe in striking against the system. Men are more interested in giving his woman pleasure. Women understand all the ways of investing smart and are now no longer dependent on money matter on their husband.

Unisex saloons are not new, but men have no qualms in asking for a lady to do their facials and vice versa. People are not happy about their sex lives and don't mind going to the therapist and discussing about it. Men are going, sitting besides women drivers, when women share the bill or if his lady goes out with friends on a holiday. Sarees and salwar kameez are not the only dresses women wear over 50. Men do believe in sharing the cooking duties now. Women don't expect men to be smart and intelligent.

“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.” It's the new tagline for Women......luv this changes and want to see more constant change in women's life....:)

Read this thoughts from my mind..give your comment.....:)

Geometry Box..Aaah!!!!!!!

Yeah, remember those bright orange and yellow colored Camlin heavy boxes which carried utilities that had special place in your school bag?

 Every school kid's birthday gift wish. Neighbor's envy and owner's pride. Some kids were lucky enough to own them much earlier than others. And then what a show-off it was. Get the whole group's attention, get the box out of the special zone in the bag, take off the plastic cover that it came with; no not your dirty hands but your teeth that would open the box. Place it near your lips, feel it, caress it and then bite it open. Each of the instrument were neatly put pack in their plastic cover, tucked into the plastic molded holder and shut tight only to bring the box back to school the next time there was a geometry class.

The world inside was all like Calculus and Trigonometry for a high school kid. Compass, double compass(didn't know it was called a divider then), Protractor and what were those 2 other 'scales' doing in the box? For all I knew, the double compass was used to carve out names on the desk. Co-ed folks would have used it for carving out hearts also I believe.

 I remember nagging my parents to get me once the moment I stepped into class 5. Some of my class mates already had them . It was also the battle of mass v/s class. Mass being the "ok-ok" Nataraj Geometry box. They had mini versions too. Class being the Camlin ones. The look and feel of the two would give you an idea why Camlin was expensive and tougher to possess than Nataraj. And I like Camlin a lot.

Only when I went to higher class then only we were taught it was not Geometry Box but Geometrical Instruments Box. Aaah! see, sophistication. Rubber was to be addressed as Eraser, Mender was to be called as Sharpener and Scale as Ruler :-D

Of course, got to know that Double Compass was Divider and it did have a noble use than carving out names. For all I knew, Geometry box was an expensive object to possess. Only few kids were privileged to  get them. And once you own it, you need to preserve it so much that you ended up borrowing set squares and compass from friends in the class so that yours remain new. Such care :)

Miss those days? Aah certainly!
