Film that changed my life - Avatar

"Oh, its just a sci-fi movie, lets go", I was too reluctant to watch this one... I would rather wait for Harry Potter or Mission Impossible. But a sci-fi was definitely not on my list.

Being a jobless rude woman, someone asking me to watch a movie with them should have been a great honor. Instead I honored them with my company to watch a movie of their choice.

As the movie began, I started feeling drowsy... Seeing Jake's brother being cremated, I was unmoved. Come on, its just another thing that happens in life. Someone's born, someone's dead! Nothing new.

Jake's was being sent to Pandora to take his bro's place and I was craving for Nacho's...

I loved the way Grace's sarcasm is in its full form when she meets Jake. Marine is most decent word she must have said. She puts in to link with Avatar! With a new body, Jake is at his best out of control form. Slowly I had started enjoying this movie.

Jake messes with a thanator and is lost in the Jungle. The sky people are worried only about the "Avatar". Jake encounters Neytiri the female Na'vi. And it looked like a typical bollywood movie.

He follows her and she criticizes his childlike curiosity. And she says" You have a strong heart. No fear. But stupid! Ignorant like a child!" Perfect, this is the best I would describe the youth. Following only superficial appearance and not wanting to see whats deep inside. perfect definition of word "Immature".

Yet he follows her to their tribe and Neytiri's mother tells him It is hard to fill a cup that is already full. So right! We have everything around and within us and we are running after something that even we don't know. This movie had forced me to think.

As the movie progressed, several secrets of this world had made home in my mind. All the energy is only borrowed and we have to return it one day... How true! I was at a crossroad now. This movie got me going. I was more at peace with myself now. I didn't feel the pain of past anymore.

Jake was taken to make "tsaheylu" with Banshee, you will know if it selects you, how? It will try to kill you. Interesting... I was laughing out loud as I saw myself not ready to accept anyone. Why would I do that? That person has to prove that they were capable of handling me or I would kill them. The bond is necessary. Huh... my head was getting heavier now.

Jake successfully makes the tsaheylu and starts flying, the scene was picturesque and suddenly he says shit, the bird tries to throw him off. Hey, that's how our lives go, our thoughts can chain us or change us.

The movie progressed, all I was seeing now was greedy nature of Human kind, we have exploited mother earth beyond our worth. All the greens are vanishing... The mother is dying. We better take steps now and save ourselves.

Well, Then came a point where Jake captures Leonopteryx and becomes Toruk Makto. Sometimes, you have to do extra-ordinary things to make someone trust you... Hmm this is how life goes...

Well, after the movie, I was at much peace with myself... It was like I had found myself.

I had realized being disrespectful to everyone and everything around me had put me through a lot of turmoil till now. And it was about time, I should have changed things within myself.

Riki - The dog and Me -the Human

A promise that will last forever...  It was third week of November 2003. I was recovering from relapsed Malaria and pneumonia and had returned to my parent’s place from Navi Mumbai. My then husband turned up one early evening and surprised me with a gift. The gift was a cute little black Labrador retriever puppy of less than 3 months of age. (November 20, 2003) I always wanted a dog but my parent’s understanding of responsibility had always denied acceptance of a dog. We had fish and birds but a dog was too much. I had dreamt that when I will grow up I will get myself a German shepherd and my ex-husband always had dreamt of having a black lab. So obviously he picked up a black lab. When the puppy came home, my first reaction was, "ohh my baby is here!" Day one On day one, this pup sat near the chair which was like ten times his size, six months later he found that the space beneath this chair can be his hideout when a bath is called upon, and a year lat

How got Leh'd Part Three (10 August - 12 August 2014)

10th August:  It was a good morning as it I could get up leisurely and get ready. We packed all luggages and kept in the guest house’s cloak room. (There were barely two big backpacks technically.) Today, I was well prepared with motion sickness tablet. We set ourselves in the SUV and picked up 2 Austrian girls Viktoria and Christa. They were on long vacation to India. We withdrew some money as we did not have any bookings made at the Nubra Valley. Our driver Dorje was a middle aged man, who claimed to be an ex-army. Jolly good fellow. He was fun to chat and seemed to be experienced as he knew how to handle 4 girls. Khardung La is barely 40 km from Leh. And most of the road to Khardung La overlooks Leh city. Shanti Stupa looked glorious in soft sunlight. Now, we were gaining altitude rapidly and I was haunted by the memories of Kargil war and Formula One car at Khardung La. Every time, we drove past the Army Officers, a feeling of regret, shame and pride kept revolving in my hea

In search of footsteps of the Great Shivaji Maharaj - Umbarkhind

February 1661: It was 2nd of February and the Mughal Army was marching fast towards the Konkan region from Pune. The army consisted of Horses, Bulls, Elephants, small canons and men. They were equipped for a full fledged war anytime. Their head, Kartalab Khan, was a fierce Uzbek warrior. Trusted by the Mughal Emperor, Aurangzeb, he was sent to the Pune region to assist Shahista Khan to wage war against the Great Shivaji. Kartalab Khan was assisted by Kachhap, Jasawant Kokate, and the lady sardar RaiBaghan. The army had reached Lohgad and Khan had decided to take the pass between Lohgad and Visapur to enter Konkan. The spies informed Kartlab Khan that the Great Shivaji was resting at Kuruwande Village, roughly 4 miles west to the Lohgad. Khan instantly jumped at the opportunity to siege the Great Shivaji and gain higher ranks at the courts of the Emperor. Thus, the army changed its course and turned towards to Kuruwande. As they reached Kuruwande, they found that the informers
