Inspiration over Sensation!!

Image
After the nation was struck with shutters down to stop spread Covid 19.. the clock went ticking on, the essential services had to be delivered,  hence only public services like hospitals, media houses, police etc. had the permission to function. Amidst the social cut down and financial crisis for many brought in, as a by product of Corona Shutting economy, many took their lives committing suicide as they couldn't bear the pressure of surging debts.. In the wave of crisis, various Tellywood and Bollywood celebs ended their lives by either committing suicide or planned murders. Sushant Singh Rajput will be one historic Bollywood case.. it's been almost 2.5 months post June 14th 2020 that the entire celluloid world of news and Youtubers have got gripped just banging on a hollow drum of assumptions, releasing new stories from funnels packed up with sensationalism as if the viewers have finally got the verdict and the case today will be finally wrapped up..  All Tipsy turvy. . all ...

Summer Solstice, longest day?

Image
June 21st 2020, a day of celestial and geographical significance when the rays of sun fall directly on the Tropic of Cancer in northern hemisphere exposing the top half of earth to maximum sunlight. Today we are witnessing annular solar Eclipse which is a rare astronomical phenomenon. The moon doesn't cover sun completely but we can see a ring of fire. The eclipse begins at IST 9.15 am and ends at IST 3.04 PM therefore our planet will recieve atleast 3 hours less of sunlight, hence logically it won't be the longest day, technically though yes it is.. The celestial bodies have many significant stories attached with them, about interdependence and power play. The planet is dependent both on Sun and Moon equally for survival. The mighty sun might be the source of light but the moon too pulls the vast oceans setting up tides and both equally support fertility and life! Currently we are surrounded with various challenges related to power play.. on one side a...

The FIXING!!

Image
Representative  image for Corona with fixers (made by a little girl) Since past many decades we were using this term for lot of promotional stuff  used for sports,  matches, award functions, roles, political seats, and the list is endless.. 2020 has seen a new shift, a new turn in #humanity amidst the #corona fear and #lockdown2020 ; it seems this virus is doing the repair work which was long due for our planet to breathe. Human greed had shamelessly crossed every possible limit... selfish purpose and they could exploit or use anything which comes in their path in order to achieve success. But in the BLIND rat race we forgot #nature the biggest force, that force which is fluid and we are just a part of that fluid motion.. we started taking our environment for granted, our waterbodies, atmosphere, land etc. And we could eat anything!! Crazy razing of green patches and turning them into concrete, even if we don't need space but the greed of expansion pushed us reckless...

COVID19: Environmental test DRIVE or Regeneration

Image
(Edited 28.04.2021) The Equinox of March 21st marks the Earth day, while this day is celebrated on April 22nd every year as a Global Holiday!! We the beings and part of this planet dedicate just a day for planet!! Sounds a bit sarcastic and negative or rather funny... humans seemed to have taken form of God.... then a small microscopic organism emerged to give us earth realisation!! Well thanks to some Peace Activists and Global leaders who atleast thought of dedicating a day for a planet.. for some bit of insight and realisation or else humans; big selfish beings would have converted entire planet to a concrete jungle ( the jungle for intelligent species more ferocious ).  Killing all the rest or putting them in captivity if only the rest of wild animals are of use to him. BLUE MARBLE: image of earth taken in Dec 1972 which is emblem of Earth Day John Mc Connell, an American activist sowed the seed in 1969 and thereafter UN approved his suggestion for identifying April 2...

Jaan Hai to Jahan Hai!!

Image
8.4.2020 When Entire Human Race is under threat and we are relooking into Darwin's theory about Survival of fittest.... pops up another series of wierd guesses by the funny creatures Homo Sapiens who thought that they are most evolved and intelligent until a small virus showed them the mirror and nature took charge to potray its powers.. Amidst the lockdown now we have got guess works from qualified experts whether the human distancing formula under the tag of lockdown will be extended in India or not and will it be till May or June or whatever..!!  Honourable PM: Sh Narendra Modi, Elected Leader of India Guy's before starting a discussion or filling up the free social media space, kindly gather some bit of common sense and relook into the path you have walked in terms of both education and work experience.  Ofcourse has to be extended (the lockdown)!! Are we left with any choice? Look at the top of the league DEVELOPED Countries, Italy, Spain, ...

The 16 Shringar!! What’s your Colour Code?

Image
While a debate goes on the skin color and the side effects of lightening crèmes, no makeup looks etc. but at the same point there is no denial that we love to wear color, be it on our face, hair or body. 16   shringars   have been known since time  immemorial and so make up has always been an essential part of human existence, be it the tribal paintings with feather head gears or a high fashion look on a ramp. Though Indian women love to wear makeup, but the ever evolving industry has always been ruled by International brands having better product offering, even the name  Lakme, an Indian brand,  is an international version of “ Lakshmi ”; how many of we know about this fact? However one sad truth of the economical aspect also is that that the same Indian brands when export, give out a better version to neighbouring countries, both in terms of quality and packaging. With onset of the new millennium, in late 90’s; the Indian makeup industry witnessed a g...

"Wife or a Whore?" Or Dust under her feet!

Image
Well, this is one statement which after a certain age applies to women.. pls note the word "AGE"!! This was mentioned in a book reading session by Sharbari Zohra Ahmed, in her Debut Novel, "Dust under her feet!" The Quantico scriptwriter moves from an International thriller, expressing a high voltage drama series for Hollywood and now back into the 1940s, where her story revolves around Yasmine Khan, the protagonist. Sharbari expresses that it was probably Yasmine Khan, the focal point chose her, cause while writing the fiction,  she could clearly go back into times and see the visuals of the yesteryears when World War II had set in.. There is a lot which Sharbari has contributed into this novel, above her body mind and soul.. fifteen years have gone into crafting the epic! What beyond? The Author has actually gone to the libraries of Kolkata, dug out their archival section, newspapers, magazines, hunting for facts and figures of the 1940s.  ...
