Happy Birthday - Suresh, Raman, Rahul & Swapnil !!!

            271st BLOG -->>

        I would say its a great day for me. Not only great but a day when I wish many people for their long life and a great success in their life ahead. I am always concerned for the birthdays of my dear friends. Today, on 10th August, I have 6 friends who celebrate their birthday. It is so delighting to wish them all but with that, the balance and money is also spent lavishly and redundantly. Birthday is the day when you expect a lot from your friends and your relatives. When you get number of calls, you are directly proportional happy with respect to it. I never miss a chance to wish people their birthday on phone calls because I know that each and every call makes the birthday special. Even a single SMS gives a huge pleasure that people remember the day when you are excited and happy about. 

            I would like to wish Suresh, Rahul bhai, Raman bhai, Swapnil Jain, Gaurav Vajratkar & Mrunmayee Dabholkar. Many many happy returns of the day to all of you. Live a long and happy life ahead. May god bless you with all the success and desire you are waiting to achieve. I pray with all my hearts for you on your birthday.

            Talking about Swapnil Jain - He is my new online friend. Generally, I don't talk much about my online friends but this boy has always been kind and sweet to me. He is a poet by heart and his poems are filled with feelings and experiences. I have read 3 to 4 poems from him and I love relating them with my life. Great Job Swapnil. Hope you will be a poet someday. 

            Rahul bhai - I was with him in Aurangabad. He supported me in my time of illness. He always gave me company when I was lonely and fighting with my personal problems. He shared all his personal stories and activities with me. He is a gentleman. Currently, in the process to be a Great Intelligence Officer ahead. He had cleared his MPSC exams last year and from last one year he is under a training. Hope, he will be a successful government employer in near future. Bhaai, I wish you all the success and achievements in future.

Raman Chauhan
            Raman Bhai is one year senior to me as he is in 3rd Year - BCA. I didn't had much conversation with him formerly but recently I had many conversations with him. I should clearly say that I have a conversation daily with him. I don't know much about him but I have analyzed something about him, he has two faces - One in real life and one in online life. He talks with me in different way on internet and in a different way in real life. I have not interacted very closely with him but I am impressed with his energy level. I have seen him during rehearsals of our fest in last SEM. He used to rehearse for the whole day without any rest and he performed 2 or 3 dance styles on stage which is really commendable and achievable. Raman bhai, hope for your good success ahead. You are my senior hence I would like you to achieve all the milestones in IT Field. Thanks a lot for being a co-operative senior. 

Suresh
             Now, I am coming to my childhood friend and a special friend - Suresh. Suresh has always been cool and calm to me. I don't remember that we had any fight recently or anytime in our childhood. I remember it were my board exams last year. Everyone in my colony and in my contacts knew that I am struggling with illness and bad physical conditions but no one cared for me as much as Suresh did. He used to talk to me every night at 2 AM and ask me whether I have completed my portion or not. If I used to reply negatively, he used to motivate me and enhance my courage to give the boards the next day. He acted like a big brother then. He had always been supportive in every step I take in my life. Suresh is a good student, a good son and a good brother. Obviously, he is a good friend yaar. Suresh, anytime in my life, if I'll be sharing about my board times and the immense pressure I was going through, your name will surely come in the story of a depressed boy to a performer personality. You have a big hand and thus you have been one of the few catalysts in my life. I owe my success even to you too. Thanks a lot for being so supportive and so dearie. Hope you enjoy your 21st birthday today with all the happiness and beauty of this world. 

             Friends, wish all my friends a very very happy birthday and make their birthdays more special. 

          THANKING YOU.

FICTION - Autobiography of a Leh's Cloudburst Victim !!!

            270th BLOG -->>

        I saw the movie - 2012 some 8 months ago in the theater. I was moved by the film and thought of how disasters really look like. I was depressed after watching the movie. I always had a dream to see the spot where Twin Towers used to stand a decade ago which was sabotaged by Mr.  Laden. I got a chance to go to America on 3rd August,2010 and I happily went there. I reached there on 4th August and thought of visiting the place where Twin Towers used to stand in pride. I asked the cab waala to drop me there. He dropped me there and I took all the possible photographs of the place. The place is under construction. I met a police officer there and asked him about the live situation of the place when this happened. He told me everything and I was able to see his eyes filled with tears. He lost his daughter in the accident who went in the building with one of the colleague to see how exactly the world looks from the topmost floor of such a tall building. I was moved to hear him. I quietly left the place and went into the hotel and started thinking about how come these type of things happens with people. 

             I always thought that these things can never happen with me and my family. These terrorist attacks, floods, earthquakes, volcanoes can never happen in the areas near to me and thus I will never be a victim of such accidents and natural disasters. Then, the next day, on 5th August, I missed my sister who was to be married soon and I thought of returning India again and give her a surprise. I booked the ticket for the night 12 AM and visited all the left places in USA. In night, I caught my flight at the right time and kept smiling as I bought gifts for my parents, my sister and my neighbors too. I reached Delhi at 5 PM on 6th August. I visited my friend's house and he told me that he is going somewhere for an important work and thus asked me to watch television till then. He went away and as soon as I turned on the news channel I saw that Leh in Kashmir had been a victim of a major cloudburst because of which more than 100 people had died and more than 500 peoples are missing. I was shocked. I jumped out from my bed. Leh - Leh is the place in Jammu - Kashmir where I live. Leh is the place where I was born. I was always proud to be born in Leh as it was a loving district with beautiful peoples around. I started weeping and shouting in helplessness. 

            I thought of my family and called them but to my surprise and innocence, the phone was said as it is not in the coverage area. I shouted " Damn BSNL." Then I saw the channel again and read the breaking news that all the BSNL services are unavailable in the district as the instrument has flown in the water. I booked the plane and reached Jammu today. I booked a cab and reached the street near to my place. Everything was damaged. The cyber where I used to sit with my friends, the ground was invisible in the water where I used to play cricket with my friends, the shop was flattened from where I used to buy chewing gums daily. My school were I studied till my 10th std was a history now. I started pulling my hairs and my heart was beating faster in fear to see all these damage and lost world. My legs were shivering to move towards the building where I used to live. I didn't wanted to see the unexpected visuals there. My friends who lived in the district adjacent to Leh were present there and they saw me, came to me and without sharing a word, they took me to a camp-like place. I saw some dead bodies covered with white bedsheets there. I got some intimations but I didn't wanted to make them proved.

             My friends held my hand and took me to 5 bodies and opened all the faces one-by-one. I sat down and started weeping and vociferating like anything. I saw my father - 55 years old man who dreamed of opening a shop after his retirement, I saw my mother who was so happy to see her daughter getting married next week, I saw my sister who cried many a times holding me because she was about to leave me, I saw my big brother who was proud to be a soldier from India's side and I also saw my cute little brother with whom I shared all my chocolates and all my games. I was left alone in the world. Not even Allah was with me. If he would have been with me, he would not have damaged the Masjid where I used to meet him daily for 5 times. Whenever I went for a Namaaz I always prayed for my family's good life and health and today when they are no more in this world with me, I would like to request Allah to immune them and not punish them for their wrong deeds and send them to Jannat. 

             I am sad to write this incident today in my personal diary and I'll always pray for my family wherever they are. It is 12 AM right now, dark everywhere in Kashmir and I am looking at the stars and finding my parents and brothers-sisters somewhere in the sky. Hope, I'll find them soon. Sometimes, Osama Bin Laden destroys the world, sometimes Kasab, sometimes Lashkar, sometimes Sadhvi Pragya, sometimes Raj Thackeray and sometimes even God plays with the human's life. I can now understand the pain of that police officer who lost his daughter in the terror caused by Osama's wrong play. I can relate myself very well with him. Today, I am closing this diary with the biggest pain of my life and I am throwing this diary in this flood's river because I don't want to write my diary anymore as nobody is with me whom I loved the most. ALLAH - PLEASE BLESS THEM WITH JANNAT AND LOVE THEM AS MUCH AS YOU CAN !!! Everyone, plz pray for all the 145 people who lost their life in this cloudburst attack. May their soul rest in Peace !!! KHUDA HAFIZ !!!

              Friends, this is a fictional post I wrote as an autobiography of a victim of Leh after watching the news of disaster in Leh district of Jammu- Kashmir. I am praying for all the 145 people's soul who lost their lives and keeping my fingers crossed for the 500 who are missing. God, in whatever form, bless the Leh and its people.

  With Shocked and Sad Expression,

DID Little Master Ends / Failure Doesn't Exists !!!

            269th BLOG -->>

        One more TV show came to an end. The Zee TV's Dance India Dance Little Masters started 2.5 months ago and from till then it kept engaging viewers and lovers of dance attached with the show. I followed the show right from its audition episodes. Recently, the competitor of this show on colors - Chak Dhoom Dhoom ended with a nice finale. The final result of the show wasn't a major voice of the people and thus, it shocked everyone. I had a fear that the same would happen today with Dance India Dance's result but to my expectations, it was a fair result. The title of the Best Dancer went to JeetuMoni - the boy who always made everyone crazy about him - either for his dancing or for his non-understandable voice, his singing or his jokes or his innocence. he always won the audience's heart. The runner-up position was bagged by Atul. 2nd Runner-up by Vaishnavi - the only girl contestant who reached till finals. The 3rd runner-up position was bagged by Manoj - a boy who used to live on the streets but his talent was much longer than the street he lived in. 

             It was an Ok-Ok Finale episode. It happens rarely that Grand Finale of any show rocks. The creative team develops new ways of showcasing their grand finales of big shows. But their over-planning makes the Grand Finale's episode a big shock to the viewers. People keep watching it as they don't want to miss any dance step and the result for which they kept watching the show from 2 to 3 months. I am happy that at least today Mithun Da didn't bored us and audiences by repeating his same words KYA BAAT KYA BAAT KYA BAAT !!! again and again. 

            I was upset to see the loosed candidates crying. The failure mostly defines you that you aren't capable of doing what you have attempted but for some rare gems, the failure means an experience which changes their life forever and make it a successful one. There are many examples who didn't won any big in their life but later on they came to be known as the master of their field. Abraham Lincoln loosed the elections for 29 times and then he won it. Once, Madhuri Dikshit was hurled out of a Dance Competition in her school and see today, she is still known as the best dancer in bollywood even when she had left the industry a decade ago. So, there is nothing to be upset if you haven't won. Why doesn't people take it positively that they have reached till here, what if they would have been rejected in the auditions itself? I know nobody wants to compromise with their talents but still people should learn being underdogs and lackadaisical. Its not every time that the best man wins. 

             There are many blogs which I write with whole dedication and passion. But when it gets rejected, I don't get solaced, I start thinking for the next one and attempt another, again if I am disliked, I keep on trying till the time I get the best comments of my life. If I would have loosed my confidence and trust on myself, I would not have wrote a blog daily. Same, I would like to preach to all the small children who have participated in the show and are going to take part in any competition in future. Failure and losing doesn't means that you are incapable of performing the particular thing. It only means that still there are many people who are better than you, you will have to work more. So, just after that start working more to be the best in your field and your area. Sachin is the example who never lose trust he has on himself. He keeps playing even after hundreds of critics writing about him. I have always admired him and followed him. He is the best cricket player the world can ever get. So, follow such great peoples, at least you will reach 10% of their success.

              So, everyone who is participating in any type of contests and competitions, just think positively and hope for the best and be ready for the worst.

Thanks.
