RELATIONS


A 9 letter word, which could be used as noun, idiom or adjective in different contexts. But is it so simple to understand this one word which is the base of any kind of existence of any biological/non-biological family of any existing/non-existing creation of the Almighty.

Not to make it complex or not just to brush it up, I would like to quote Human's as an example here. A birth is celebrated in any society whatsoever it may be, because it has taken the relations inside that close social group to the next and a bit complex level, with the introduction of few new terms in the family like Grand Father(दादा जी), Grand Mother( दादी जी), Aunts( ताई जी, चाची जी, बुआ जी, मौसी जी, मामी जी और भी कई अन्य विशेषण और रिश्ते), Uncles (ताऊ जी, चाचा जी, फूफा जी , मामा जी, मौसा जी), Brothers & Sister's(भाई और बहने ऐसे ही कई अन्य रिश्ते....) and most important for the new member Mother & Father( माँ और पिताजी )In our culture relations are quite complex and it takes a life time for a person to understand these few to say but many to understand relations and as complex is the importance for each of these respective relations. I won't be wasting much of all of our's precious time by diving into details of all these relations.. But a person has to carry on with these as s/he carries his/her skin...

There are two types of relations, one that you have with your birth and one that you make...

Here my emphasis would be on the one's that a person chooses for themselves...

Friendship, Love, Life partner and the most important one whether to bring an offspring into this world or not..

Friend as is so righteously said, 'A friend in need is a friend indeed', but with changing times, it has changed a lot and nowadays, the same has been remodeled into, "A friend in deed is a friend indeed'. We do a lot for a person whom we call our friend and in turn as a human tendency we start expecting something in turn, but we should not, cos the time that we spend together with this person whom we term as freind, is the reward, just like the nectar of a flower which a Hummer eyes for.. Similarly we should not hurt the social enigma around someone but should be content enough with the time the both parties have spent with each other, discussing a lot many things, Health, Political, Erotic, Simple and Sensitive issues.. At times there are situations wherein only tears could give you a bit comfort for all other inopportune issues there are friends.

A lot is expected from this one relation, which is a necessity for any human being today, the closest friends are the family members and the nearest of them all is your life partner.. And as said above we should also keep a free space in this relation as well, else God only can tell what may or may not happen in life. But we should be optimistic in life and should keep in our minds how things must progress on any new relation that we seek. And a very important decision of bringing an offspring into the family should be taken jointly by a couple and at the right time too. It is a different and difficult situation but if one believes in, 'together we can and together we will' any couple would love to be called proud parents. Be cool and enjoy every relation that you are in or that is there around you. Righteously said, "A relation is long lasting bond, the far you would move from it, the closer it would bring you."

क्यूँ कहता है कि कोई नहीं अपना यहाँ,
तुने ख़ुद कि पहचान है बनाई कैसे कहाँ,
इंसान कहना ख़ुद को आसान होता जो अगर,
तो तू रिश्तों के भंवर में न फंसा होता यहाँ ...

KALLU DOT COM

There isn't anything in the name, if you try searching it out on web... Ahhh you have already tried it. No matter, you would agree with me and now the question comes to our minds what is it? What does it means? Why KALLU DOT COM, not something else? Why does this name even comes on this blog? A lot many questions? And as many answers, are there!

It is a place, a grocery shop, a den for a small group of 6 people named righteously as F - Group, a place where Tau is a distraction to many customers and still people love to flock when Kallu is there with his never ending smile, and do mind it Kallu is the central character of this group as well.

To the people who knows about it Kallu DOT com means a lot( in terms of a place not just to pass some of their free time, but to share all that is there in their Hearts, for all, a place where one feels comfortable, though have to negotiate standing around or getting seated on a Blue coloured BSNL Switch Box, again given a splendid name, "Raj Singhasana" meaning a throne for Kings, a place to discuss politics, wrong doings, illtreatements, wicked plans, recipes, to maintain a register of all the details related to fair side of human beings, addresses, and on top to take blessings from few elder people who like this group for their smiling faces amongst odd situations and to put forward a helping hand in needy situations) and to those who are unknown to the existence of this cool signpost, it means nothing but( a place where few grown ups pass their time willingly as if they don't have to cater to anything else in this so mean and so practical world, keeping an eye on the fairer side of Man Kind and on getting a chance to tease them), of course every coin has two faces, one can't deny which side of the coin are they looking at!

Kallu DOT com, the name was thought of or could be said a mere lift up from a place known as Ghis Ghis DOT com situated far far away in Seohara, District Bijnaur. And, for sure in this time of netijens and tech savvy guys/gals, one would be able to relate themselves quite easily with this name and so cordially with F - Group who inhabit this place.

Why is Kallu DOT com making a splash on this Blog, no prizes for guessing it by now, even I am a respected member of the F - Group, comprising of Yogendra (Kallu), Madhukar(Patrakaar), Vikrant( F - He was the one who Baptised this Group), Sunil( Madhosh), Jiva (Anna) and Me(Tara).. A small family of six brothers only, and now no guessing further why we don't have a sister here within this group???

At this point of time when I am writing this out, a part of my mind is still there, at the same place where life is so colourful that no one passes through the zone without carrying on some of the brightest moments of their lives from the one and only Kallu DOT com...

The Last Lear

A Shakespeare recluse, eccentric, veteran stage actor named Harish (Harry for short) is approached by an equally Cinema passionate Director named Siddharth and it is there story than. Harry is close to perfection when he is delivering dialogues from his past stage excursions and at times he is so captivating that no one else is left with anything else than to get lost in his Emotions, Expression, Hand gestures, Body posture, Physical movements, and in all Harry superble played by Amitabh Bacchan....

To impress is one thing but to leave an ever lasting impression is another, Harry's superb talent seems to be fouled by many other characters and there too long presence on the screen behaving as curtains to hide the greatest performer of the movie. And Bang when Harry comes on screen, people come close to the edge of their so comfy sofas of the Cinema Halls of these days which come for a price anything in between Rs. 125 to Rs. 500 for 2.5 hours, and Harry does leaves an impression, a solid one of an egoistic, self centered, too bold for his age, someone who can't live without his crystal glass of Alcohol (another way of distracting people by continuously rolling it), with over sized robes presenting himself not to be a character in this movie but a character from the Shakespeare Era... representing the old time of Unighted Kingdom very well and majestically for sure. Harry must be praised for his efforts in delivering the part of Prospero from 'The Tempest' already played by him across many cities, and he is awesome in that scene in the movie.

My personal opinion on this movie is that Harry was underused and instead of exploiting/justifying his talent he beared resemblence to a person who is a puppet in the hands of Siddharth or moresover Rituparno Ghosh to be precise. It would have been much better, and scintillating to see Harry perform all alone in some part of the movie.. But Alas!

When in disgrace with fortune and men’s eyes

I all alone beweep my outcast state,
And trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries,
And look upon myself, and curse my fate,
Wishing me like to one more rich in hope,
Featur’d like him, like him with friends possess’d,
Desiring this man’s art, and that man’s scope,
With what I most enjoy contented least;
Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising,
Haply I think on thee,—and then my state,
Like to the lark at break of day arising
From sullen earth, sings hymns at heaven’s gate;
For thy sweet love remember’d such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.






It's time for me to leave Harry to rest for some time so that, he could make a comback entry for an award in maybe a next film...

The End!
