A Tryst with Death

My Grandma used to say, the more good circumstances you have, the more are you going to be fragile! 

And she indeed was very correct. An incident that took place some time back proved it. It so happened that it was my last year of college... I was at home and suddenly some presentation came up and I had to return to my hostel. The train which I got ticket for goes to Mumbai and is known for its specific facilities for the cancer patients who travel to TATA Memorial Hospital Mumbai for treatment there. Being an introvert, whenever I am on train, I just climb to my upper seat and get busy with my phone or laptop or just sleep. But this time, I got a lower berth and along with that, there were a lot of people who didn’t have seats....and being a morning train, I decided to just share mine. 

So, it happened that I found myself sitting with 3 different women and their families all of whom were travelling to Mumbai for their treatment. As time passed, they started interacting among themselves. And I have been coincidentally hearing a lot of cancer stories of late, some of conquer... some of heroic restless battles ….and some of defeat even if they never gave up.....so, I was just silently listening to their conversations making sure they didn’t realize that someone not among them was consuming their stories. Even though I had so many questions in my mind, but I just didn’t wish to interrupt their privacy and thus, resorted to be a good listener.  

One of them had Endometrial or Uterus cancer which had almost cured and she was just going for a checkup, one was having Breast Cancer, was going through Chemotherapy and had come home to spend some time with her children and the third lady was just diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer …..she was going for her first ever visit to the hospital.  So, three people going through different phases of the same situation.  

As the conversation proceeded, I could sense the different levels of fear and courage in them. The one recently diagnosed was scared and was trying to find courage in the stories of the other two and it seemed that they too were sensing it and were garnishing their story of suffering with little incidences of hope and happiness. They were beautifully gift wrapping the tales, not hiding any of the problems that they went through but in a way that instead of acting as terror, those difficult experiences could be a strength to the one preparing to fight them off. All of them were in pain, either physically or emotionally but the strength and zeal to come back in their eyes had such a strong aura that even healthy people lack. They were quite happy. The only point I saw a glimpse of sorrow come to all the three faces was when they were discussing their children’s reaction.... they just didn’t want their family to be sad even if they themselves were going through so much. I just wondered, were they actually so strong or had become so because they had no other option. The discussion continued for a very long time and I felt so good witnessing it. They were giving me another perspective to see everything.  

But one lesson I learned from all of them was the importance of time. All three of them were lucky enough to be aware of their body's subtle signals of conveying that something was wrong. They were experiencing unusual symptoms and were wise enough to act upon them in time...and as soon as it was diagnosed, their families made their treatment the first priority. And thus their treatment started at curable stages, thanks to their self awareness. And they also told the tales of some of the friends they made there, who lost their battles just due to the lack of time. This small initiative to be aware can prove to be Elixir of Life in long term.

These discussions gave me such important things to think about which continued almost till the evening until some of them wished to have some sleep. On the other hand,it so happened that the train was going extremely late and my station which was supposed to be reached at 8pm was now expected to be definitely not reaching before 12am ....so my parents instructed me to get down a station 3hrs to my destination where some of my relatives lived. I was not willing to extend this journey and didn’t wish to obey them but who can win from their parents. So, finally I took my bags and reached near the door only to realize that the train was about to leave. And before I could get down, it started. One bad of mine was on the platform and me with another bag, still on the train. I was perplexed when a co-passenger said to get down and he will manage to give me the bag which was still there....and I my mind was so shut off that I did that. The train was at extremely slow pace but as soon as I rested one of my feet on the platform, moment of inertia just threw me on my knees. But thankfully I had instinctly run away from the track while setting my foot, so I was at a safe distance from the train but was kneeling there, my both palms on the platform as well. I had no senses about that bag which they finally threw off to the platform as the train was about to leave it. 

I had totally gone blank. The platform was quite crowded, but everyone was there just to stare at me except one girl who came and comforted me. My parents were continuously calling but I wasn’t even able to hear those loud rings of my phone. I was in a state of shock for at least 15 mins....my knee was bleeding but I literally had no sensation of it. I wasn’t consciously crying but my eyes were automatically flowing. That fear of facing your end seems easy but it isn’t. All my dreams and unfulfilled desires came before my eyes in a flash....all my regrets demanded me for closure …a face that my eyes wished to embrace again came smiling before me.....and most importantly, the face of all my loved ones with whom I would have never been able to talk to if my leg had slipped just an inch that day. 

That one moment taught me the value of life and the fear of facing death before doing everything I wished to. We have heard the phrase so many times that “Just live your present first without worrying for the future” but we often forget to do so. That day taught me the literal meaning of that phrase. I knew I forgot to live the moments that were part of my heart's most beautiful desires. I did realize that I had lost so much that I wanted in my present while being busy planning my future. 

I couldn’t sleep that night.... little bit due to my paining knees and more due to my overthinking analyzing what would have happened if I died that day. And then the thought of those ladies on the train crossed my mind. I had just had a very distant vision of my death and came out safe within minutes. Even after that My emotional condition was so terrible. On the other hand, these people had lived with the prospect of their death for such a long time and still they were smiling. Situations had made them so strong. In fact, all of them had seen death so closely or might have even touched it and came back....but not once did I see any glimpse of hopelessness in their eyes. But, when I faced that incident, practically speaking,  I was not even a bit close to death but even then, that Devastating fear freaked me out to an extent that I was just crying , not reacting to anything be it my concerned family’s phone calls, my bleeding knee or the co passenger on the platform who was asking if I was ok.   

Even if I was very far from death, just the thought that it could have come if the conditions were a bit more serious, was so haunting. And of course, it had taught me to never ever loose hope too. Because if there are smiling people battling such critical situations in their lives, who are we to get depressed for such silly reasons like having an unrequited love, fights with loved ones or a failed interview. The only time you should regret about these stuffs is when you either fail to express that love, did not try to sort out that fight or didn’t give your best to win over that interview. Doing our share of actions is what lies in our hands...rest is just destiny which neither we can fight nor can those brave warriors I met that day. You just need to keep up the faith and keep going. Just be strong in every situation and don’t loose hope.... what is meant to be will happen no matter what.....what we can do is to just adapt ourselves to the situations and just believe that everything will be fine.... even if the definition of that “fine” is different from your idea of “fine”.  Don’t live with regrets, live in present, never loose hope , express what your heart desires to and spread love and smiles whenever you can. You would experience a lot more beautiful phase of your life.  

#RADHAKRISHN : A Mesmerisingly Beautiful Show

Krishna……If I would like to Define the Idea of Every kind Love in a Single word, My Answer will be Krishna….and I’m sure there are many more people out there who think the same. Someone who is the greatest charmer of this world….nobody can resist melting in front of him…whether visually, mentally  or spiritually…...such is the attraction of the Emperor of this world , Lord Krishna, the personification of everything good we can ever think of! Just the idea of Krishna is so beautiful, Imagine how beautiful Lord Krishna himself will be.

 And imagine how special will his Radha be….the one who has the ability to Own the Owner of this world himself…… the Epitome of Pure love and Purest form of Beauty, externally as well as internally. The one, whose world resides in  her Unconditional love…in her Krishna….yet it doesnot overshadow her own individuality….she has an Identity of her own…and in fact, her Love just takes it up to Another Level.

And now, Imagine how eternal will their love story be! The greatest Love story this world has ever witnessed…..two divine soulmates, who are bound together by  Heartstrings for eternity…..who are worshipped together as the Symbol of Love….but had to separate, to fulfil their other duties towards the world.

And as we all know, more loved and great a story is, more difficult is it to present it with full conviction & justification….And Swastik Production has left no stones unturned to give the show the grandeur it deserves….be it the Grand Dreamy Sets, Amazing technical team, Great VFX effects, Appropriately designed Costumes, Extremely Impressive research & screenwriting, Breathtaking Cinematography,  Mesmerizing Music, Heart Churning Lyrics , Beautiful dance sequences , and of course, the Perfect casting. Every element of this show speaks volumes of the dedication and honesty that is put to it by everyone.

The advantage of having a god as the protagonist is beautifully being utilized by the makers…..the Fight sequences, where Krishna, being the Supreme power, doesn’t even need to fight at all and ends in a flick of seconds,the way they are designed is worth praising. I am also in love with the theatrical style scenes where time pauses and Radha-Krishna are under spotlight…those subtle scenes makes you regret why weren’t you born in the era when RadhaKrishn actually lived, Just to witness that grand but peaceful divinity. Every character has been so beautifully designed that you can’t resist believing that in that era, the person must have been just the same as portrayed over here and The beautiful bonding between every character just keeps you wanting for more.

Of course, We can find some scenes utilizing creative licence to a great extend but those scenes are so extremely well written and executed that you are compelled to believe them….and I’m sure, no viewer minds such improvisations until and unless it is interfaring with the basic traits of a character, which the writers have always made a point not to violate. And must say, these scenes are making the show even more and more beautiful.

In fact, According to me,  it is the most impressive mytho show which graced the Indian television after decades. The way every small scene is written with a much deeper meaning than our eyes can meet, is amazing.

Besides the scenes featuring the protagonists, Browny Points for Krishna Ayan Scenes……for Kanha-Dau chemistry….for Krishna’s bonding with Maiya Yashoda and Kirtidha Kaaki …..for Krishn’s Antics……and Also for the appropriately cruel Kans…..and the list goes on and on and on……

                   And Not to forget, the Largest Brownies for Himandhu Soni & Shivya Pathania…they proved that the quality ranks much above quantity….they might have had just 1 hour of Screenspace but they performed it so well that I’m sure  they will always be remembered among the very few Perfect Radha-Krishna Jodis Ever! They created such a beautiful environment on the first episode itself and set the mood so well that the Audience went gaga over the show on the first day itself…I saw many tweets saying that they were exactly like images of  the Radha-Krisha people had in their minds. What else can an actor desire for! And How can we forget the baby Radha & Krishna, the cuties have been so well shot that it seemed  that they were following the script too. Also, a special mention to the present Bhairav Sudevi track....Just loved the performance put up by Bhairav

Also, I just Love the way the Flashbacks of Adult Radha Krishna are used to show the parallelism of teen Radha-Krishna…….both the Krishna’s eyes emote the pain of helplessly staying away from one’s soulmate so Beautifully. Whether it’s a fun scene or an emotional one, the way Krishna’s eyes does all the talking is really droolworthy……and Radha’s steadfast and  innocent personality can steal away anybody’s Heart for sure.

And not to forget Kanha-Dau scenes, Numerous shows have portrayed the Krishna-Balram Chemistry but this one is so different and so refreshing……this fun side of Dau has never been portrayed so well....And, Kanha ki Nautanki ,You just can’t have enough of it!!! THEY ARE SOO SOOOO SOOOOOO ADORABLE 💗💖  And Yes, Ayan too, even if a Rival to our Krishna, is doing a great job as always.

Being the First Ever Musical of Indian Television itself is a big achievement. Me as a viewer  would wish this show to Break all records possible and maintain the same Charm till the very last episode.  The Aura of this Show itself is so Peaceful…that it makes you  forget about all your tensions and  problems. So, as a viewer, I would like to thank the whole team for gifting us this peace of mind everyday 😊😍  and Special thanks to Utkarsh Sir for Writing it so well with with so much of Love. …. It’s made just Like a Beautifully knitted poetry in motion. And it has soared hopes much higher than even the sky. And I know, these hopes of ours will never be let down by you people😊 

First Stepping Stone:My ZEETV Association Experience

They say….plan out everything in life if you wish to be successful….but the beauty of life lies in it’s unpredictivity. Even if you make thousands of full-proof plans for your future, you cannot plan life….rather Life plans you.
This Experience of mine somewhat takes me closer to the above statement.

So, being a bright student in my school days I always used to think that I should only study and study and study……never ever did I pay any heed to extra curriculars as I used to think them to be a waste of time. Little did I know that my view will drastically change someday!

Now coming to the story which brought me here, this is about one of the most memorable journeys that I have experienced till date. Just the way gold mines are discovered accidently….then that raw gold has to undergo so much struggles such as being heated and hammered….and only after resisting all that does it become good enough to be called an ornament and gets the attention it deserves ……Everything that occurs in our lives too follow the same rule….and sililarly this story too!  A story which started with just a series of coincidences….which then went through many stages of excitement, day dreaming, ambition, dedication, hardwork,  happiness, emotional turnmoils and even betrayals & heart breaks…..and finally, ended on a positive note.

Now, coming to the point , let me tell you the exact flow of events which became the foundation of this story. So, we all know,even if technology has reduced the time we talk to the people around us , it has in some way brought people closer too,those people who are far away…but have same pattern of thinking, interests and choices…who haven’t even met....but can understand each other's feelings without even saying! And this bond according to me sometimes turn out to be better than the offline ones because these bonds don’t exist with the intention of getting something as a return gift for the friendship….so atleast for me, Twitter is one such place which has replaced my need of talking to friends around me to a large extent, which used to be compelling earlier irrespective of whether I liked it or not.  I love joking around with my friends on Twitter a lot……and there is one more Blessing of my life whom twitter has brought me closer to, Rajeev Khandelwal whom I lovingly call Hero 😊 I call him my Best Blessing because he in some way or other effects me in a very positive way,whenever I am in need….and I really don’t know how :)   My connection with him too is something which seems Pre-Planned by my fate ever since I was a 7 year old baby….but will tell about it some other day 😉

So coming back to this story, twitter and Hero became the foundation to this association. One morning, he tweeted about his new chat show “JUZZBAATT”  and as usual, we started our daily routine of talks on twitter and I jokingly expressed the desire to interview the host himself someday ….just like any other conversation, we had fun and forgot about it.

           

Had to travel that night to attend a cousin’s wedding , so didn’t go online and my phone started ringing continuously at around the train timing,which I didn't pick up then….it was only after I called them back after boarding the train did I understand what the matter was. The Brand head of Zee Tv , Mr. Kausik Misra had replied to my tweet asking if I was really intrested to Interview My Hero during Juzzbaatt’s Press conference….I was pleasantly shocked. But I knew I couldn’t attend it as I was already out of station and also my exams were near, so nobody would have allowed me to travel to Mumbai, just for it…Such a dream opportunity coming to me all of a sudden and then going away was trying to dishearten me but a new Idea struck me. I tweeted to Kaushik Sir if I could do something through My Youtube Channel….Honestly speaking, After hearing so many NOs in such a short span of time, I expected the same this time too. But it was different this time, he gave me his mail id and asked me to send whatever ideas I had. This was such a pleasant shock for me…..My friends started congratulating me and I was getting so hyper that all my co passengers were staring at me and my parents had to remind me again and again that I was in train. I didn’t even have a paper to jot down my ideas….took my father’s pen and wrote on the paper bag in which the bedrolls in trains are supplied. Texted so many people if they had good ideas……only 3-4 of them responded….Some were my obvious  friends who are always there for me, one of them was a normal friend who encouraged me a lot during those days and one was someone whom I always considered to be a very good critic of mine…there were people whom I expected to be with me but didn’t too, but why look at the darker side!  I worked out on the ideas the whole night and came up with 15 of them and mailed them the next morning.

And then the talks started and finally, I got the first behind the scenes video on April 29 which I edited and uploaded on April 30, 2018……thus this journey started officially. I had been told that all my ideas were good and I could go ahead with any of them.
 I created My first #Juzzbaattstories video for the First Guests of #Juzzbaatt , Ronit and Rohit Roy and uploaded it on  May 10…Juzzbaattstories were the real fan stories of the celebs which depicted how they positively effected someone's life…..It was just an experimental video from my side and I was not very confident about it, but it was liked and Praised by Many Including Rohit Sir himself 😄  And then, I decided to go further with #Juzzbaattstories as a Spinoff Series……and thus the Journey took off with Flying colours.

In this span of 3.5 months, many obstacles came & went away whether mental, emotional or physical. But every hardship that I undertook for it was worth it 😊 I remember, one day I decided that if My Hero can shoot two episodes a day, why can’t I, without even thinking that unlike me, they had a whole team to take care of everything…..I did shoot two videos that day but had to walk around 7-8 kms under the scorching sun in search of different locations as well as had to come back each time to my room to change clothes for the different videos , which increases this distance further…even gatecrashed a closed park through a broken part of fence…. such an interesting adventure it was….literally got blisters on my feet for the next two days ………..but when the same video got the fasted view growth among all my other videos, no words can explain my feelings then....I had never ever experienced such kind of satisfaction ever. Also I got praised by almost every celeb for whom I made Juzzbaattstories. My Viewers and participants in the series were not only from across the country but also from world over, such as Argentina, Australia , US and some other Latino-American countries....Sometimes,we even failed to understand each others languages, but that couldn't stop those bonds from prospering….I had really not expected this kind of exposure when I had proposed this idea. I was living a miniature form of the dream which had always been close to me but I never dared to dream it, maybe because I had never been confident enough…..but Juzzbaattstories installed that self-confidence in me.

 As days passed by, A big dream of mine which I can’t disclose now, came at an extreme proximity to reality for sometime and then suddenly went far away too due to some unavoidable circumstances….it was a phase when I was all alone…..I had gone very close to my breaking point…..I was about to give up…..about to abandon #Juzzbaattstories midway but my hope and love for what I was doing,  kept me going. And I am sure, I will make that dream come true very soon :) 

I gathered Myself back and decided to Give the Series the Beautiful  Ending it Deserved. Meanwhile some fake company claimed copyright over 4 of my Juzzbaatt videos….Many people adviced to just forget about those Videos as filing a counter copyright claim might lead to court cases but I decided to take up this risk and claimed it back, though it took a long time and costed a lot of views, but they are back and safe :)   5th August 2018 saw the last Juzzbaattstories for none other than the Host Himself and featured Many of my friends. It was a gift of Love from my side to My Hero as well as a Friendship day gift to my friends.

And that day, I got the compliment I have been waiting for all this while. I had mailed Hero after uploading the first ever Juzzbaattstory that I expected his compliment only when he truly felt that I deserved it and finally, this last video made him feel so…..Kausik Sir too Praised me in a Public Tweet….And of course, everyone who came in contact with me during the course of this video series made me feel special. Juzzbaattstories had finally Succeeded in it’s Mission to Spread Smiles…..and that day, All those smiles reflected back on My lips😊😊😊

The people who crossed paths with me during this journey will always be special😊Juzzbaattstories gave my thinking a new direction , my self confidence a great boost , reintroduced me to something I believe in and gave me courage to persue what I always Loved. And I’m sure fate had greater plans behind bringing Juzzbaattstories to my life than what meets our eyes.

               

Now,I can proudly say, I officially worked in association with ZEE TV for a project….It was My first stepping stone to a Beautiful domain I love! At this moment, I really don’t know what exactly future holds for me….neither would I like to plan it because now I realize, God is much greater in terms of imagination and planning than we can ever be. I’ll just do my work with full honesty and dedication….and rest, life itself will take care. 😊

I finally understand why women lean on railings for support and sometimes become clumsy when they are wearing heels as it is not easy.” He further added, “I want to pass on this one important message that always appreciate women when they dress up. Because while it looks effortless, they really put in a lot of effort and take the pain to look their best.”

Haqse Episode 14 review: The Forthcoming Changes

And this episode takes the show again to a high point away from the subtleness which it had been going through.

“Kashmir ke Zakhmo ko dawa se zyada insaaniyat ki zarurat hai”, sums up the condition of Kashmir so precisely and perfectly.  A special applause to the Dialogue Writer indeed.

And here comes one more Beautiful aspect of Meher Naushad relationship. 

Rajeev Khandelwal literally owned this episode, be it apologizing for his past mistakes, indirectly conveying his soft corner for Meher, opening up his vulnerability in front of someone he has started to trust and care of, or simply developing a  fun friendly (and maybe a potentially romantic) relationship with his newfound friend.
Surveen chawla too effortlessly compliments him as a girl who found her new love.

On the other hand, Jannat,Azi,Baano,Raghu and Amal’s  emotional transformations while facing some adverse situations,  too have been perfectly portrayed.
Anger,sorrow,rejection,jealousy and treachery try to take away the essence of love that prevailed between various characters. 

Overall, The episode caters perfect balance of scenarios of People coming together and  Falling apart.

Haqse 13 : Erupting Emotions

This episode is dedicated to extremities of everyone's subtle emotions.
