बैंड बाज़ा और बारात  : Epitome of Happiness! Image Courtesy : clip-art-free-clipart.blogspot.com Yesterday was a happening day. Guess what was so special?  कल मेरे यार के ' भाई ' की शादी थी .  It was a typical  Kumaoni  (Uttarakhand, India) wedding. I enjoyed a lot. I danced in all best, impossible, self-invented, on-the-spot style way, one can think of and yes for 2 hours non-stop. Yes! It was my non-stop dance display from the road with  dhol-nagada  1000watt PMPO heart thumping beats to the dancing floor of DJs. Beautiful girls were dancing, so that was another feel good factor. Along with my friends, in sync, in coordination I danced. Many times joined by little hesitating but equally curious chance performers who were the other  Baratis . The slow rhythmic dances, swinging on both left and right direction, use of hands in विचित्र मुद्रा   some exploration kind!, slightly bending towards the grou...

Image Courtesy : illustrationsof.com A monk: from Ukraine Yesterday I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop with my friend. We were busy in gossips. Someone overheard . "Excuse me! Are you both friends??" A voice with foreign accent broke our conversation. Now that was a totally unexpected, doubtful question and as i turned around to my amazement, here was a dhoti clad foreigner boy, with a radiant face, sparkling blue eyes, shaved head, with a choti ( चोटी ) or pony tail standing in front of us, with a mystical smile. We were speechless for a moment. And it was broken with another question from this monk "Hello my name is (I didn’t hear )......... and am a monk from Ukraine. i have devoted my life to the ISCKON The International Society for Krishna Consciousness ...are you both good friends?? i was taken aback whether he sensed some Homo aspect in us who were human with straight orientation or was there some proposal of him for nirvana or some Kalyuga ? P...

Lost Mobile - A Story! Image Courtesy : buzzom.com He is my good friend and he cares his belonging to the hilt. He is very conscious about his things/belongings, and sometimes he goes too far in the name of caring them. i observe him daily. It's a good habit to care one's own things. then there were some more interesting facts/stories of his love for care. Once he owned a remote toy car during his graduation. He loved that but had to give to his nephew, much much younger in age and thoughts. Then there was another noticeable habit, he loves to break Salad ( सलाद ) with his spoon and eat Chapati ( रोटी )  with hands. But hands do get involved in eating latter, my friend. so why the worry of mess? I like that.  He lost his mobile. a pickpocket in the crowded bus stole it. now that is very sad. he lost his six year old archaic phone while traveling in the bus. This outdated phone's production has been stopped (discarded) by the manufacturer. ...

Songs & Singers : Mhd. Rafi Vs Kishore Kumar : Incomparable Gems! Image Courtesy : sweetslyrics.com Image Courtesy :  yoodleeyoo.com One can compare various aspects of life, such as quality, quantity, skills, and logics. But, Mhd. Rafi Sahab and Kishore Kumar were beyond any comparison. They were legends. Their soulful voice, songs, had magic and blessings of the god because of which they are still remembered, and their songs are sung by today's generation. Their songs have appeal and have that freshness, which is missing today. Given the shelf value of today's songs, which remains on the charts for few week, and people forget, the songs of Rafi Sahab and Kishore Da still fill that void. Agree that both legends have their staunch followers, and diehard fans. But they will agree that both the legends were versatile. They were hardworking, dedicated and honest to their songs. The different genre of the music was handled so ably by them. Some of t...
