The conversation

-






The summer sky seemed a bluish canvas filled with all the coral and golden colours, abruptly stroked all around the setting sun. While the little cactus plant on the barren land all by itself bloomed so lush and green. The setting sun was stupefied by the flourishing growth of the cactus with each hot day passing by. So today he decided to ask the little cactus below about it, before setting down. 

Sun: "Hey there! Little cactus."
Cactus (surprised): "Hello!"
Sun: "Today it was really a sunny day eh!?"
Cactus (smirking): "Yeah! It felt I was burning in the hell. But, isn’t it you who can control it?"
Sun (proudly): "Indeed. Though, I have to follow our mother's instructions."
Cactus (happily): "Oh yes! By the way, how come today I got so lucky to get noticed by you?"
Sun (calmly): "Well, you must be aware I observe everything around me. Since my days have begun I noticed everyone in this land getting all dry and dreary but you my little friend; you bloom by each day passing. Am I not that fiery for you?"
Cactus (subtly): "Oh I see. So this is what made you to notice me! But the answer is itself in your question."
Sun (amazed): “Oh! Interesting. I want you to -”
Cactus (stopped him in between): “Our dear mother created me in a way that requires your heat and light for me to flourish. So the more you shine, the more I grow. Just like in the world of humans, the more they face challenges and hurdles, the brighter their qualities outshine."
Sun (fascinated): “I didn't expect this coming from you my little friend! Ah, it’s time for the world to rest as of now. See you tomorrow my dear friend."
It was dusk before the little cactus could wish him good bye! And the land got cooler and got covered by the silence of the night fall.

A SWEET AND SOUR ODE: MURAMBA

  Cast: Amey Wagh, Mithila Palkar, Sachin Khedkar, Chinmayee Sumeet Director: Varun Narvekar A poster of Muramba Source: IMDb Being a non- Marathi, I can still say firmly that this film will not make you feel alienated rather it will involve you in the story swiftly with utmost simplicity. This 2017 Marathi film is a perfect blend of ethnicity and modernity. The writer-director Varun Narvekar marked his debut direction with Muramba. He has effortlessly played with the structure of the film which is a pleasure to watch.  The film begins with an end of a three years relationship of Alok (Amey Wagh) and Indu (Mithila Palkar) who have known each other since school days and get into relationship while pursuing their MBA. Both the families (boy's and girl's) are aware about their romantic involvement and all of them are fine with this relationship. The problem arises when Indu and Alok broke off. Alok’s parents (Sachin Khedkar and Chinmayee Sumeet) do not comprehend this co

A WINDOW to EXIT!!

-
    If doors are closed, then surely a tiny little window is open for us always. The only thing is to find it out where is it located and how to reach till there? One fine day, I was just attracted towards this word called 'window', we hardly notice such little words though, that can be connected with our emotions in various ways. Hence, a thought passed to write about it.    I feel, films and sitcoms do play a role of window for exiting the reality for a while. Being a film student, I have been trained to watch movies with absolute new dimensions. That change in my perspecive wasn't sudden rather slow and enjoyable, and still in process . Movies are of different kinds some are like a book, we cannot judge by their cover (title). Few are like an open book, if you watch keenly they can be the answers for your questions. There are certain films like gems, that shine nonetheless of the era they were made. Even the most precious films are said to be as good as a

SUBTLETY

The bright ray of light falling from the window pane on the opposite bed, I see as soon as I open my eyes on every morning; Reminds me of how a single ray of hope can brighten my day  yet to begin. Yes, the cawing of crows is the first sound to be heard rather then the usual tweeting of birds; Indeed, that cawing awakes me from my dream sleep and announces the new start of the  another day. The flow of the water from the tap inside my bathroom, the rush the gush  the way it helps me to cleanse my body; Reminds me to enhance my quality of "let go" and to go with the flow along with a firm goal. The touch of the lukewarm water on my skin in crisp mornings, the steamy bath at the end;  Takes me to my small holy temple of meditation and makes me aware of the present and the moments I cherish. Yes, the hooting of vehicles, the shouts of hawkers, the screeches of brakes, the jingling of cycles henceforth the orchestra played by the m
