Nostalgia!

Some of the songs you heard in different phases of your life remain embedded in your heart. The moment you hum or hear it playing memories of that particular period rush in. Fond or sad nostalgia moist your eyes or makes goose pimples all over your body. I think nostalgia acts very powerfully in songs or music beats and tunes. They enact pictures, peoples and fashions vividly in your inner mind screen.

Movies do too, but songs in some of them act as the catalyst.

You idle at your home and feel extremely bored at times hating to be there, questioning yourself on wasting valuable time. But when you go away you desperately want to be there. Things you hated you start remembering fondly and want them to happen again.

Nostalgia is a potent moving force and one of our most cherished assets. When you meet your dear ones after a long long time just sit down with them and go on chatting. That will be an unforgettable moment.

We need nostalgia to love and appreciate life.

New Keyword For Bollywood Is Cricket!

Take guard King Khan! Competition for you in cricket too! Already the IPL(Indian Premier League) experience is exasperating and now another Khan is on the way.

Salman Khan had reportedly showed interest in buying an IPL team yesterday and met the IPL Commisioner Lalit Modi in Mumbai.

Race for super stardom is faster in which sector--Bollywood or Cricket? Film stars always show great interest in cricket--supposedly for the love of the game. But, maybe they want a share of popularity of the cricket stars!

Already so many Bollywood stars have joined the IPL bandwagon. Very soon, film stars will crowd cricket so much that the SEO(Search Engine Optimization)for Bollywood will be achieved with the keyword 'cricket'!

And, what will happen to the actual cricket stars? They will of course continue playing cricket, but the limelight will be gobbled up by Khans, Zintas, Shilpas and many more.

Corporate houses too have to take a crucial decision! If Dhoni and Salman are featured together whom they will grab for? Very filmy cricket rickety.

In Lalbaghcha Raja(Emperor of Lalbaugh)'s Darbar

Media friends today arranged a quick darshan of the majestic Lalbaughcha Raja, the most prestigious Ganesha idol of Mumbai. The darshan otherwise would have been impossible considering the waiting period of up to 22 hours as 1 million people visit it daily through three entrances.

Established in 1934, this Ganesha is believed to be the most vibrant one fulfilling one's wishes always. People from all over make it a point to offer prayers somehow within the 10 days of the Ganapati festival.

Staring up at the huge idol with hands raised in absolute assurance I understood why devotees get so crazy to have a darshan. I saw devotees rushing,pushing and elbowing their way closer and press their foreheads on the golden feet.

A friend told me that local shopkeepers and business houses complain of no sale during this ten days. On our way out I actually saw one hardware store resorting to serving hot snacks!

Ganapati Bappa Morya!
