Babu Moshai

Charming smile with closed eyes and that slight tilting of head. Who wouldn't fall in love with that beauty ?

Whenever I see him on screen my gaze is glued to him.

How he loved people in Anand.
How he loved a widow in Kati Patang.
How he stitched together the family in Bawarchi.
His lip-synch in Mere Sapno Ki Rani on Kishore da's voice.
His expressions in Amar Prem - "Pushpa ,I hate tears. "

The Cinema of 70s which portrayed men so beautifully and Rajesh Khanna played a huge role in it. I'm spellbound by him since I was a teenager and used to watch his movies on Sundays from 12 to 3. 


P.S . He was not the typical macho man who's unexpressive but he was a sensitive and expressive lover whom I loved on screen.

I'm not a FOBO

 What if I deserved better? What if I wait and juggle for the best ?  We have the biology of wanting the best. We may not even know what is best for us. Infact our best can change with time. Yet we are always in this comparison mode. Whether we believe it or not this is driven by Narcissism.  We want to be those maximisers at times who revolve the whole world around themselves. This craving is deadly. I didn't know if I wanted to be veterinarian but I used to feel what if I could do something better. I still don't know many a things about my wants. I'm sure I'm not alone in this maze. Most of us don't know what we want.  We will always have this fear of better options ( FOBO) inside us. However we need to understand that it makes us lose the benefits of commitment.  I feel the beauty of commitment calms me down. I try to choose the closest thing that feels right and then commit to it. I feel much happier this way.  Oh my dear Philippa, Succeeding requires commitment

An epistle to pahadi friend.

Dear Phillipa, Consider me your well-wisher or the person who loves you a lot. You need to hear something, believe it or not but these months are going to be really crucial for you. There was a time when you were happy about some parts of your life. Now, you have become ignorant of the reality. Your mind knows everything but there is something which stops you from doing the essential. Hours after hours, days after days and months after months will keep on passing like this. Your life has become a business cycle, initially you observe a boom in your emotional intelligence and your life goes on track for a while but after sometime the slump kicks in and you are back to the same rut. I don't want to be harsh on you , because I believe in the power of love and persuasion. My motive is to make you see the reality but I don't want your actions to be driven by fear. As you know that fear has power but it is short lived unlike love. I just want to say that, you have everything that you

BIRTHDAY WISH

 When me and my family do not think twice before planning any trip. YOU ARE ALIVE IN US. When I wear the same clothes to my workplace and at my home. YOU ARE ALIVE IN US. When I prioritize a samosa and imarti over any new pair of clothes. YOU ARE ALIVE IN US. When the time and respect given to the guests visiting my home becomes more important than any furniture in my house. YOU ARE ALIVE IN US. When I stay awake at night preparing my best for the job tomorrow. YOU ARE ALIVE IN US. When I feel the happiest in giving rather than receiving. YOU ARE ALIVE IN US. When I reach late at my workplace just because I was reading a newspaper. YOU ARE ALIVE IN US. When I sit in my home and see its map being designed by your brilliance. YOU ARE ALIVE IN US. Whenever I see the movie ANAND and Rajesh Khanna says, zindagi lambi nhi badi honi chahiye babumoshai. I COULD ONLY IMAGINE YOU. Whenever I think about learning the skill of driving and its relevance being gender neutral. I COULD ONLY IMAGINE YO
