Sadrakshanaay Khalnigrahaniya!!!

Every morning we wake up to feel more and more defeated.

Mumbai is bleeding and the world is brooding over it! Shining India is burning today!

Salute to those sixteen Policemen who lost their lives combating with terrorism: Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare, encounter specialist Vijay Salaskara, ACP Ashok Kamte, Shashank Shinde and many others. And Hats off to all Mumbaikars who went to their aid! (True humanity against a background of extreme animosity)

There is a lot to write, but right now I am just following the sensational drama unfolding in its unholy fury and trying to sink in the whole tragedy.

Till then… let’s just keep our fingers cross and let’s pray for peace!
Protect the virtuous, Punish the wicked...

THIS IS MY BLOG.... MY PERSONAL BLOG.

Blog... an open book... a way to expres.. a source to vent out... a place to cherish yesterday and a space to write about wishes that will come true tomorrow...
Initially (when I just started blogging)I was a bit skeptical about expressing my feelings online.
But, later I realised that nobody cares!
World is HUGE and beautiful! Nobody has enough time to spare for themselves... So, reading a blog of some stupid girl who stays in some city called Mumbai, in some Asian country called India is out of question!!!
But off late, i realised that people read my blog! Not just those with whom I share the link of my blog but strangers too! Some read to remember, some read to forget (hee hee... this line has no connection with the rest of the post at all! just wanted to use Hotel California's lyrics.. ;) )
So... people do read my blog and I thank all of them. But, a kind request to those who might not like my writing, or my thoughts, or me for that matter... Even if you want to criticise, criticise elegantly! IT'S MY BLOG and it would be great if you comment on the posts genially.
And if you really don't like my writing, take it as a piece of pure fiction. Anything more you want to know about my posts, my blog or me... feel free to revert on my personal id: leopiya_2004@yahoo.com (I know nobody would be interested in doing that, but still...)

Mahapaatraa

Mahapaatraa – an appealing story of an appalling lady!

The lady who became a practitioner of the last rites in a small village of Uttar Pradesh, near Ganga ghats.

This Marathi play revolves around her struggle as a 20 year old mother of four and her survival as an epitome of dedication and devotion.

Direction-wise it had a few loopholes and few characters were not well-established (which no doubt fidgeted with the quality of presentation)

All and all a good play, with a beautiful story line… worth watching… I watched it and now searching for the original book!

Tired of being sick

These days I feel very frail, very fragile… Though I am in my early twenties, I feel like a 60 years old woman combating with her fickle health.

It was never the same before. I was the most active girl during my school and college days. I still remember those project nights. I used to stay awake and finish off all the work while other girls used to sleep like a log.

I don’t know where all that stamina has gone. No enthu... no fun... no excitement... Life’s becoming pale yellow. (I hope it’s not jaundice!)

I seriously have to do something to keep myself healthy. But what to do? Yoga? Exercise? Meditation? Diet?

I think I must resume dancing. At least that will help me rejuvenate. I don’t know how I will manage… but I must devote some time for myself!

Sleep to work off sleep

I hate myself for feeling sleepy while on work. Words on monitor blur, mind turns numb and it becomes hard to concentrate.


I do a little bit of stretching and a lot of yawning. But no good! By the time office peon brings a cup of hot tea for me. (I guess he has some kind of supernatural power to detect the lethargy in the house. That must be the only talent he has because otherwise he himself is very sluggish. It’s not just me, my colleagues also think the same way! So, no offenses)


I sip in that hot drink, wishing that it could help me getting rid of this unwanted fatigue. But, it tastes like a sugar paste with added tea flavor. I force myself and finish it off and continue surfing Internet. But, nothing revitalizes me.


Sleep overpowers my senses. ‘I won’t let it overpower me! I won’t let it overpower me!’ I repeat it again and again in my numb mind.


I keep my head down, shut my eyes and forcefully try to think something so that my mind won’t stop working. I think and think and think, but only thing that comes in my mind is SLEEP. And then... I don’t remember anything. It’s all B L A N K. I wake up after sometime and find myself fresh and more energetic.


I give my inner self a refreshing smile. I realise that I have just discovered a very interesting fact: Sleeping is the only solution to get rid of sleep. 


So folks, when you are at work, and feel very very very sleepy, doze for a while(just like I am going to do it now!)... And it'll definitely work... Sleep's swear!
