BLOG 2: MOVIE ADDICTIONS

 

Neev: Hmm, so you were a very studious girl, huh? That booky, geeky, nerd, right?

Dhara: What? Booky, geeky, nerd? I still hate reading books. My hobby and passion both is to get lost in the worlds of movies and TV Serials. I mean main TV ki duniya mei kho jaati hu.

Neev: I know my English is weak, but itni nahi ki sentences ko translate karke dena pade.

(dhara, laughing sheepishly)

Neev: Ok, in this techno-crazy world, you might have watched one or two movies here and there, but calling it your passion…

Dhara: (now feeling offended) Oh hello, you don’t know, I used to pull out my cousin sister’s hair to watch my favourite serials. That’s why they started coming less to our home because my sisters got highly scared of me.

Neev: Yeh thoda zyada nahi ho gaya?

Dhara: You don’t believe me, do you? Ok, let me share you my favourite kissa. You know the movie, krissh?

Neev: Of course

Dhara: So, Dombivli mei tab ke famous theatres bhi single screen hi the. And no online bookings. So dad brought us 4 tickets of a Sunday afternoon. We were so excited. But then, at around 2pm, uss din humne yeh news dekhi that some political gundas had burnt buses and created chaos on the roads. So my dad got very upset that the movie will not be shown, but I was very positive. I said, ‘Dad, 2 bus ki vajah se theatre mei thode hi koi farak padega’ he did not say anything then, so we enthusiastically searched for autos, but did not get any. So we walked the 20 minutes path all ahead and reached the theatre. There a person was announcing that screening of Krissh movie is canceled and that the money will be refunded soon. Mayus se muh latkakar vahi 20 minutes ka road hum chalke vapis ghar aaye. But we did not loose hope. After a week, we arranged a weekday with our neighbors. So me, my mom, my elder sister, my neighbor aunty and her 2 daughters – we all went and came back happily after watching Krissh.

Neev: And your dad?

Dhara: He watched on T.V.

Neev: Uh oh. See, that meanskisi ko zyada interest nahi hai, right?

Dhara: Kisi ka toh pata nahi, but mujhe bahut zyada interest hai. If you are ok, I want to share another such episode.

Neev: Please go ahead.

Dhara: It was new years’ time when Taare Zameen Par movie was released. On 31st December, maine zid ki thi to watch that movie. We went on to watch for the 3 to 6pm slot. But being the new years’ time, it was housefull. The person said that the tickets for 6 to 9 were available. I agreed but mom refused because we had a program planned in our building for the new year party of which I was also a part of. Main maan gai on the condition that we get to watch that movie the next day. On that day, our dance program went very successful. The next day, my mom came up with a new program. Mere uthte hi, she said, ‘beta hum meri friend se mile nahi hain, toh aaj chalein? We can watch your movie later.’ I agreed to her and after a few minutes started wailing like anything. Seeing my condition, my mom had to give up.

Neev: isme toh ab koi shak nahi that you love watching movies, but don’t you think that its kind of an addiction?

Dhara: I will not deny that I have become an addict to these things. But as long as it does not interfere with my academic or daily activities, I am completely fine with it. After all, jo main real life mei nahi dekh sakti, voh mujhe yahi se toh dekhne milta hai.

Neev: But you watch only Hindi?

Dhara: Why not Hindi? See, international is not bad, but Bollywood ki baat hi kuch aur hai.

 Neev: Voh toh hai.

मैं हूँ।।

जब प्यार रूठ जाए, जब दिल यह टूट जाए, जब रास्ते ही सारे हमसे यूँ रूठ जाएँ, तब धीरे से वह आए, और सिर पर प्यार से हाथ रखकर बतलाए, सब ठिक हो जाएगा क्योंकि, मैं हूँ, मैं हूँ ना... हूँ।।। वह हाथ जिसके सिवा, इस सिर पर कुछ न आए, जिसका कुछ में हो जाए बसर, अपने आँसुओं को रोककर, वह पिता अपनी बेटी के पास आए, और सिर पर प्यार से हाथ रखकर बतलाए, सब ठिक हो जाएगा क्योंकि, मैं हूँ, मैं हूँ ना... हूँ।।। केवल दौलत या शोहरत देकर, वह पिता कभी रुकता नहीं, भाई बनकर अपनी बेटी की वह रक्षा करे, कभी बहन बनकर,  प्यार से डाँट दे, कभी माँ बनकर हर छोटी  चीजों का वह खयाल करे, और हर मुश्किल घड़ियों में दोस्त बनकर धीरे से वह आए, और सिर पर प्यार से हाथ रखकर बतलाए, सब ठिक हो जाएगा क्योंकि, मैं हूँ, मैं हूँ ना... हूँ।।।

मेरी आशाएँ

मेरे अकेले से क्या ही होना है-  किसी को Pen देने से वह कोई -  विद्वान या अफ्सर तो नहीं बनेगा।  मुझ अकेले का मांस को त्यागने से,  जानवरों का कटना तो नहीं रुकेगा।  जब हम कुछ करने में असमर्थ हों,  तो जीना व्यर्थ हो जाता है।  जीवन बेकार-सा लगने लगता है। जब कुछ आता ही नहीं,  तो भला क्या करना है?  जब कुछ करना ही नहीं, तो क्यों जीना है? अब जिंदगी मिली ही है, तो थोड़ा जी लेते हैं।  थोड़ी आज़ादी, थोड़ी लापरवाही कर ही लेते हैं।  तो क्या हुआ जो हम Perfect नहीं ?  कुछ चीजें अधुरी ही अच्छी लगती हैं।  और कुछ पूरी होकर भी कमी महसूस कराती हैं। कोई अफसर चाहे ना बने, किसी का मरना भले ना टले,  पर चैन की नींद, और को अपनी मुस्कान,  तो हरदम साथ रहेगी। समंदर में भले मेरा एक कतरा ही सही,  पर मेरे उतने योगदान का,  मुझे संतोष होगा। एक क्षण के लिए ही सही, पर उससे समाज सुंदर बनेगा।  अकेले ही सही, इतना तो मुझे करना है,  कोशिश अधुरी ही सही, पर डंके की चोट पर,  उसे सबको बताना है।

YAHAN ULTI GANGA BEHTI HAI: THE STORY OF A UNIQUE GIRL- PROLOGUE

  YAHAN ULTI GANGA BEHTI HAI: THE STORY OF A UNIQUE GIRL PROLOGUE Uttarakhand mei, in some panchveli gaon, hamari ganga nadi behti hai, jahan yeh kahavat perfect fit hoti hai- yaha aadhe kilometre tak such mooch mei ulti ganga behti hai. Yahan kai shraddhalu vyakti har saal dubki lagane bhi aate hain. Other than river Narmada, this is the only part of Ganga river in India which flows in the opposite direction. So, it’s quite a place of tourist attraction here. Me, my elder sister and my parents, from a tours and travels company went for a small vacation in Uttarakhand and nearby places. Others were busy taking pictures, posing, eating, diving; but I was engrossed in deep thoughts. I thought it resembled me. Kaise duniya ki reetiyon se alag is nadi mei himmat hai ulti disha mei behne ki. Ise fikar nahi hai ki log kya kahenge, mujhe post karne vaale social media ke friends kya sochenge, panchi, ped kya kahenge, nadiyan kya sochengi, ise bas behna hai, bina kisi dar ke, apni hi ma...
