Dad killed Aarushi:Cops

"Dad killed Aarushi: Cops" That’s was the news in Today’s Times.

Dad Killed Aarushi...???... Sounds weird... Could be truth... Or could not be... All of us, are left with so much of doubts in mind... why? Who? How? & so much..
I don’t want to talk about emotional sentiments behind... I think most of them are doing it, through comments, that’s what I saw on TV yesterday. Every News channel, showing the news, with latest updates, with interviews of experts. The experts were talking about changing world, relations, psychological state, mentality, Family pride. There were comments about cops being corrupted by NGOs... Ahhhh! So much!!
I don’t want to talk about them & their discussions!
One thing was noticeable to me... India is changing, its pretty unpleasant it is happening this way. (Rather, it is this kind of incidences making it noticeable more...I would say, a negative way) It’s not in context of relation, cultural but an approach.

An approach, of being individual. If what cops say is truth than, he, her Dad never wanted his Daughter to interfere in his private life. But he choose wrong way.

Again... I don’t want to talk about this should not have happened.. But it is obvious... This should have not happen....
But yes! it is more disturbing!
We Indians, being so much close knit families, trying to be westernized. We are getting so much attracted towards the freedom... Freedom is too big to phrase... I think! But yes! its Freedom...
Freedom attracting us... The show, of you can do whatever you want... Eat, drink, sleep, talk, get in relations... whatever... whatever... Comes under freedom...
In haphazard way, we do not understand or rather we are forgetting what are consequences of it what will be reaction? Is our society so much open to all this? Can I make it "My Way"? Where our culture is leading to? Why the westerns can go with it? How they deal with it??? So many questions to answer...
we need to understand... All this...to go ahead... with protecting sentiments & lives... Because freedom does not mean... Taking away anyone's life...
I don’t want to end it this in gloomy way...
Freedom is to get free... & feel within... enjoy... enjoy life... to live & let other live...

Shobha-Keep going! (Series on people-Human Kind)

Hello,
Now, I am here with 'Series on people-Human Kind
First character of series Shobha-Keep going!
The reason she being first of series is simple, she is so much inspiration everyday...

Shobha-Keep going!

Her name is Shobha. She looks young. She works hard. She does work in nine houses. She also cleans one of the apartments. She gets up at four and sleeps at mid night around twelve.She is working since last 12 years! Pretty a long period.

She is my servant maid.She stays nearby my house and does good work. You tell her the work  and it will be done. People get jealous of me for getting good maid… (One can’t understand what makes people get J!?!?!)

She has mobile and whenever one wants to call her she is in reach. You here charming voice and she say, I will be there in ten min.(she is tech savvy!)

I never asked her about her family, she stays with her mother, brother. She is burnt. That could be her story, but I never wanted to ask her.

She started working with us since last six months, and She knows how to do her business, as she decided to work at our home, she told me clearly, I will take two leaves a month with prior information.(servant maid talking like this, not acceptable right? But mades are also getting Professional)

I never showed my affection for her (you need to learn from your past experiences) even though I am emotional and  get attached to anyone, but this time, I decided not to. We shared typical of give and take relation. She does work and I pay her for it. Tea a day and lunch on Sundays, sometimes breakfast also.

She never talks about anybody (no gossips). She is very humble.

Other day when we were talking she told me, “Vahini (that’s how she calls me, even though I told her to call me by my name), I know only one thing, my family is dependent on me and I need to earn, earn in good way and do good work.”

I was glad, that she did not crib that her brother or father does not work, she was clear, with what she wants and what she need to do for her house.
She only talks about her work and sometimes of her nephew, he is fond of her. She talks about flowers and trees. She likes flowers and sometimes she buys one for me. Sometimes, gives cooking tips, sometimes make a different curry. She is always ready to learn, updates herself with changing world. Just not work but she is  also aware of etiquette and manners.

She has to walk from our house, nearly 1.5 km. for another work, I drop her sometimes and when she gets down, she does not forget to tell me to go slow on my way with  Bye  and smile of gratitude.

What is catchy, she never bothers in what is happening in home, nor does she want anything from us, no food, no clothes but if you give her she takes it with smile!

She is my inspiration to write, because, I learn so much from her everyday.
Basics of all is, there so much to life, you just need to have prospective.

There is so much to learn from her, but I learnt something very well is Consistency! and  spirit of keep going!

Even though there are challenges and difficulties in life, you need to keep going!
Even though, they (society, people) blame you, you need to keep going!
Even though they harm you, you need to keep going!
Even though you are left alone, you need to keep going!
Even though nothing is with you, you need to keep going!

Have steady Day!

Art and Entertainment

Hello ...

Yup! Here I am with the discussion I mentioned, in my early post. It was pretty long discussion, between me and Shantanu (my Husband).

To understand sociology is layman term, Sociology is all about society and  whatever we feel, believe, adopt comes under ‘society’ is pure study of the subject.

Ok! Now, coming to Art and  Entertainment.

Art and  Entertainment... Much spoken subjects at different level, but they are much correlated concepts.

Art is a process and Entertainment is medium to enjoy the process. Art as process plays a bigger role.

Entertainment is requirement, want of Human, whereas Art is inherited or Learn able process, one has to ‘like’ doing it.

Art to call it Art has to be ‘entertained’ by Human to come to its true value, what makes a monument great creation, OR music to call it charming. It is been ‘entertained’ by someone, for it to reach that valuable position.

Even though Art being process, it could be seen in any form, dance, music, cooking, painting, decorating as we understand. But here is another view, living Happy life is very much part of Art (I am not follower of any group or thinker!) . If that can be Art than walking, riding bike also is form of Art.

A controversial observation, every Art has its target. Let’s look at example, a good painting, has to reach its audience to enjoy it. The target is its Audience, and than their liking.

Similarly, the riding bike is also an art. It is destination which can’t be the target of Art. Than whats the target? Could be duration or route? Subsequently one of it could be entertainment. To be more accurate, the enjoyable part of it is reaching the destination, in particular time, with easiest way, or riding bike logically to reach in time, on crowded road. All this will be Art and  so entertained.
I don’t want to hurt sentiments, of anyone when I am writing about sex (it is still, not openly spoken subject in India).In recent readings I found that, sex is language of love. But before that, I think, it is art. Art to perform sex, ultimate aim or target is physical satisfaction. In mythological terms it would union of two soules to one!
But it is for entertainment! (I know this would lead to controversy... but yes! this is another point of view to this! )

Art is ongoing process; target will differ from individual to individual.

Let’s consider, Art and Entertainment in Indian context. Art is tradition to India. An ruler or king who with is unique method ruled the dynasty, war or trade. The methods these king use to win the war. Here, Art now merges into a sense of achievement and pride with entertainment.

Similar to industry, equipments, Arts and  technology also impacted with concept called Globalization or westernization. ‘Art’ term its self took new reach, sometimes invisible one! Entertainment is also getting affected to a great extent.

Entertainment much felt and viewed arena.

In India, few years back it differed from women to men.

At initial stage, Women enjoyed celebrating festivals or meeting at home. Later added with shopping and  hoteling. Now, they join up men, in disco or pub over a drink and smoke.

For men it was not much difference, I guess, except women joining them ;)

Disco, where many people dance that dance is also a form of art. In that sense, the partner is not treated as object but performer. Partner completes the from of art. Similar could be case with a drink, which is social taboo for women in India.

The Art and entertainment will differ from strata to strata. Each class has their own requirements.

The collaboration between Art & entertainment is so much invisible. It is much arguable also. Both end up having the target & vision to look a head!

To conclude, it is matter of prospective to see & feel!
We have to find out the right difference between Art & Entertainment. Then we should be able to optimize our creations to achieve right balance between these two or use Art as a process effectively & to develop innovative ways use new technology as new entertainment medium. How can we make the Art as a process stronger by using new technology entertainment medium?

This also opens up another door to discussion. Indian Media/ TV industry …are they using their Process (Art) & the (Mediums) Entertainment effectively...I guess not.

Thats was my view!
Have a Artful Day!!!

Live up to what you want: A rich beggar

An observation and a thought to inherit.

‘Live up to what you want’.

Title sounds ironic right? But yes! It’s true. This beggar is real rich man.

He is village man thats how I thought of him, when I saw him first. No one will ever identify him as beggar... He is old man, his age must sixty and above. Dressed up in white kurta (which has pockets in front to keep stuffs... typically tobacco pack is kept there and some money) and white doti. That color is not that white... But a faded one... It has touch of soil could be that’s what I thought he is village man. He is wearing cap – typical Maharashtraian cap. He has one hand bag and a saffron colored flag to prove he is devotee. Devotee of god…. His eyes were weird and  his voice is hoaxing.

He is healthy man... No disease not a handicap.

He sits exactly down stairs-below my office... he begs on one of the Busy Street of City.

He has made a place for himself. His bag is well equipped to fight any season... as he has plastic to cover up in rain and monkey cap in winter. Here was 1^st sign of lavish beggar, who is so prepared for natural calamities. Who is lavish in his world...

He has unique begging style, when ever he needs food he begs, otherwise he sits quietly. He calls people whenever he is hungry. The unique  begging style catches attention of people.

By then, I had developed strange feeling. His presence bothered me. He never begged in front of me, but once I had offered him food. He took it happily. Now, as I served him once, He wanted me to serve him again and again... He kept starring and begging at me. I ignored him but when ever I looked at him, he use to call me and ask for food. I ignored him... Cautiously.

I saw him once at food joint nearby. He was asking a lady not to buy him daily meal but to buy “Two Vada Paves”, there was something unique about this beggar, and he has demand. Here is second one, yup! He is lavish beggar.

This was puzzle for me- beggar demands what he wants to eat?

As time passed I saw in while passing through. It generated curiosity about him. His eyes always looked strange. He also gazed at me.

He use to disappear in between for weeks and than come back as if he owned the place and people who did feed him.

Once as usual he disappeared... I was bit relaxed, his weird eyes and voice gave me break… I was very happy to hang out down… and move on the street.

One fine evening, when we were coming back to office, an Auto stopped in front of office building. I did not bother, my colleague made me look at auto... I was surprised to see the picture.

This beggar got out of Auto paying meter bill… he came back settled to “His 3 by 5 sq.ft”place.

He was true lavish beggar indeed!

I thought over his behavior all over again. It gave me a weighty feeling always. Then I recognized that he was above all beggars, who were begging for survival. There are of course few beggars who have good bank balance (I have heard this from people) but they are an exceptional.

People like us struggle in societal boundaries to do what we want to do, Sometimes it takes a shape of fear, shame or embarrassment.

He being beggar is living with his own aspirations of being lavish in his small world...and  truly he is living up to what he wants in life…

Another day of week

Hello...

No.. I am not going to post 'Series on people-Human Kind ' now.. in today's writing .. You have to wait bit more...
There is not much at this end... here is one more snap...

I was very sure about not doing flower arrangement with these flowers, Just kept them in vase as it is.The combination was more natural.. I thought

Have Dazzling start

Its a Monday... sometimes its too boring to join back work after good weekend... what can make it more brighter than flowers.....

I thought writing 'Series on people-Human Kind ' will be easy... sometimes it is difficult to note down Feelings and observations. But daily writing something, keeps me reminding of a promise to myself  to write series.
Till than This one...
I like to click snaps... Photography.. I dont understand the technicalities... I have not learnt it but tried few... these are few.. I like to do creative things...These were recent one..Flower series


Home Décor: tried some flower arrangement(In just few minutes for a get together)… these Flowers were picked up from Apartment Garden.


These flowers were picked up from Floweriest.. Just kept them in vase.. Surprisingly they were just as fresh for 12 days..

Have a good week!!

Un- tear able Mask

Is it the world of show off I wonder?? Is it the mask people wear?? I was with so many such questions... as I was there...  Earlier I was always the observer-An outsider.  But this was for the first time I was amongst them.

It was very subtle feeling as it grew... . Is it just to earn those lacs for my growing business...I also need to wear that mask? Mask of show off! Show off of your knowledge, your standards, your money and of course of your Business. Mask off high fondu talks? Or that loud stylish laugh?

Those polished talks and those selfish eyes looking in you to grab situation and check if you can get few lacs… to fulfill needs. Needs to keep up those polished shoes, branded clothing, heavy mobiles, & dazzling visiting cards... Which might be in someone’s dustbin…

I felt so filthy, why it can’t be just plain business? A deal? A plain money exchange? Why one needs to be so sugary, which one deserves, not for that mask, but for that sincere work?

Is this a world of Business?? If yes!! Then why person like me is welcomed?? I am welcomed bcoz  there is one chair vacant and also a mask... This has to be there on face, to be there in so called Business world… to make my business grow... to earn those required lacs…

Yes!! If I want to be here... I wonder do I? Of course I also need to earn those lacs not for that show off but yes to do pure Business a mere exchange !! To fulfill a vision... to develop true potential... To make them grow... So to make me grow and make my country grow!!
