Who the hell is Aditya Thackeray???

Who the hell is Adiya Thackeray?? Wait, I think the name rings a bell... is he related to Bal Thackeray?? And Raj Thackeray?? Well he has to be..the way his henchmen have handled a respected old lady principal of Hinduja College. It runs in the family..isn't it. The pseudo pride, display of political clout and disrespect for freedom of expression.

I am appalled at the insecurity he has. Is it a serious identity crisis or a dented ego? Is it a opportunity used for creating an unnecessary stir to get some media mileage? Sorry to say Aditya you have let me down. You have let many others down who thought of you as a probable young leader. Let me tell you that you have not achieved anything thus far, other than the famous surname. As Aditya no one knows you or recogenises you. You are a no body. I know that you like any other youngster want to be somebody but piggybacking your henchmen you will end up no where.

If at all you wanted, you would have not paid heed to such an issue and would have given a shut up call to your Yuva Sena and told them to concentrate on more constructive nation building events. But nah..you the famous Thackerays.. won't spare an opportunity to stir a storm in a tea cup.. like always. But politics aise toh chalti hai... hai na beta?

I don't care what has happened in the past but you Adiya, you can dare to be different. Gather some courage and go and say sorry to Chitra Natrajan, who is old enough to be your mother. You can bring about a change... change the way your party works. The new world is not stupid and forgiving and subservient as it was in the times of your grand dad. No one can bulldoze their way in the present times or someone will steer the bulldozer over them. I hope you can understand.

Ashleela???? Ramleela

Just came back after watching #Ramleela. Sanjay Leela Bhansali's trademark styled elaborate sets create drama.. well, looks like he has recycled few from his earlier films. The tone of the film is very confusing..Gujarati or Hindi..modern or ancient. There is a Devdas hangover with Bengali Dhoona and DurgaPuja kind of festivities in rural Gujarat. Yes I spotted some Chhau dancers of Odisha as well..

Hanji, its a story of a progressive, sexy, despo Gujarati damsel who is seeking 'love'...from a hot bod hero who shows off his six packs to all the drooling Rajadi n Sanadi women. The Gujarati cholis look lovely I must say and so do the tattoos and the film has showcased it well. Even on Deepika... surprise! surprise!! In fact if the hero was called Ash the movie would have lived up to its name "ASHLEELA".  I did read some thanks for some adaptation from Shakespare's Romeo n Juliet. Sorry...well I want to say that sorry to Shakespare.. :( Sob sob... I think, I saw him crying in one frame of the movie...

Interestingly, this place in Gujarat has unlimited stock of bullets like Wasseypur. Men n women n those in between.... everyone expresses their emotion through bullets..love, happiness, frustration, anger, excitement... Police does not know of it. Army does not know of it. Forget it... its a fiction. But what the hell was entertaining???? I don't know of it either.. hahaha..

P.S: Don't go by the name Ramleela or UA certificate and take your kids along. This movie won't serve any purpose even if it means imparting some sex-education. One of my daughter's friends saw the movie and said it was 'Porn"... poor child.. I can imagine her state.

Warning:  It's a movie for people fond of Pop-porn not just pop-corn... so enter at your on risk. The star ratings and revenue figures are no guarantee of a good film.

Helium took him away from all of us

4th of June
I was woken up to the heart wrenching message in my mom's loud, shattered n quivering voice.  I rushed downstairs, shaken. Unbelievable. My youngest cousin brother lost his life in a freak accident in Canada. My chhoti masi's only son left this world and her world collapsed.  We have tried communicating and consoling her but words fail us. I have been having a dialogue with myself but nothing actually makes sense. KESHAV left a vacuum and we know that nothing in this world will fill that void. Especially for his parents..... the mother, who begged n prayed God for his life. Its very tough dealing with a loss like this. Pray for Keshav and his family but that isn't the reason for this blog.

I thought over this tragedy all these days. Checked out lot of info on the net. I felt the need to educate and spread a message so that other people can be warned of the fatal consequences of FUN WITH HELIUM.

Sucking Helium through balloons or cylinders for Donald Duck or cartoon like squeeky voices is a very cool party idea in the US and Canada. Youngsters do it very often. That is what my cousin was doing. Now what happens is Helium pushes Oxygen out and constricts the lungs making squeaky funny voices but IF the Helium exceeds Oxygen there is an instantaneous death.  Many times kids don't realize this and cross that barrier and after that there is point of no return. It is scary.

My cousin brother experimented with Helium and lost his life. What was intended to be fun has devastated his family. I am not going to post links but if you want to educate yourselves you may check out more info on the web. Awareness n education is very important to save our children from these perils.

 P.S: Don't underestimate your children. I was hiding this info from my daughters and they informed me ( and shocked me) with their knowledge, apparently read in an encyclopedia because some friend wanted to try it. (in India too). Be a part of your kids' activities and know what they are doing or experimenting with.  Our KESHAV, my mamaji and my daughters are the reason for sharing this information with you. Let no life be wasted.

Hey Krsna! Take care of Keshav's soul and give his loved ones the strength to go on!!!!!!!!

Good Boy! Rahul..

O boy!! Rahul Gandhi has decided NOT to marry...in nation's interest. If only his father, the dashing Rajiv Gandhi, also had the similar kind of patriotic feel and sense of responsibility, the nation would have been spared of many scams which were planned from Italy...the land of his lady love. 

This is the only time the young lad (he's still called Rahul Baba) has decided what he WILL do..(rather what he will not do... to get marry) Forty may still be young age to be a youth Congress leader but it surely is way past the age where cute romances blossom. :(

I any case you can become a husband only when you grow up.....to be a man!!! 
So good decision boy!! Truly in the nation's interest. :) :)

thnks so much for sharing this thought to all of us at KGAF मृदुल प्रभा .. i loved it so much Mridul that i am sharing it this with all my friends here on Facebook, flickr and wordpress blog …
==============================
Doll house is quintessentially a part of every girl’s growing years. Every girl has a doll or collection of dolls. Dolls that make her world so beautiful just as the little girls make our world so beautiful. Every daughter is like a doll and every house is a doll house, full of her laughter.
But that laughter is stifled as atrocities on the girls and women are on the rise. Dead female fetuses, abandoned newborn baby girls, molested infants and school girls, scarred, bruised and raped minor girls … are like broken dolls. We can close our eyes and keep pretending that it does not happen in our world.
One day the loud cries from a big ‘BROKEN DOLL HOUSE’ that is all around us will shatter our world. Unless .. WE change. Change to protect and respect every girl, every woman.

Stand up...for Comedy

The 'MUMMY RISES'....hahahahahaaha.
So it is. I will be performing at the Open Mic Night, THE COMEDY STORE Mumbai, debuting as a STAND UP COMEDIAN. What's wrong with me? Have I gone crazy? Well, actually I have gathered quite an experience performing everyday in front of my kids and the army crowds. Its time to 'stage a performance' for a civilian crowd. Social responsibility you see!!

I invite all my friends to come with onions (just in case they want to throw some). My daughter prefers 'Tomatino' but right now Onions are expensive and I hope to come back with a month's supply. (Hit left and right)

So come in large numbers. 25th Feb... 8.30pm.
(Punjabi friends! Its in English! I know you are all surprised but I had a distinction in English.)
So aa jayio...phatte chakk dene...
