Moments In Life

There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

When the door of happiness closes, another opens; but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don’t see the one, which has been opened for us.

Don’t go for looks; they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human and enough hope to make you happy.

The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can’t go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so at the end, you’re the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Love messages

Love,is more than what I have.
Love,is more than what you are.
Love,takes me where Ive never been.
Love,takes me where I am today.
In love,is what I am with you.
The person who loves you more..
Will fight with you daily..
Without any reasonBut
Whenever you’re sad he will fight with the world to end yoursadness…
That is “TRUE LOVE”
When We Truly Care For Someone,
Their Mistakes Never Change Our Feelings,
“Coz Its The Mind That Gets Angry
But The Heart Still Loves Them”
Love is reason to live or leave life
Love is so strange..
sometimes it becomes reason to live life..!!
and sometimes it becomes reason to leave life..
As the day gives way to night
i miss you having by my side
my heart is singing the song to say
i’ve been missing you more than
words can say.
Just because I forgive you, doesn’t mean I want you back. I’m forgiving, letting go and moving on to something bigger and better.
U r my love & u r my valentine…
I do love u & it’s true,
I never knew my life without u
I wanna live but it’s only with u,
Please be my valentine, I will hold u 4ever

I heard a sound whispering your voice
But when i looked around to see who it was.
I noticed no one there!
Then i realized it was my heart
Telling that I MISS U.
Miss U Miss U Miss U
Love is like magic
And it always will be.
For love still remains
Life’s sweet mystery!!
Love works in ways
That are wondrous and strange
And there’s nothing in life
That love cannot change!!
You know you are in love,
When you see the world in her eyes,
And her eyes everywhere in the world.
I believe that God above,
Created you for me to love,
He picked you out from all the rest,
Coz He knew I would love you the best!
Sometimes You Hurt The Ones Who Loves You Most,
Sometimes You Hold The Ones Who Leave You Lost,
And Sometimes, You Learn But It’s Too Late.
True Love Is When
Someone Accepts Your Past,
Supports Your Present And
Encourages Your Future !!!
Distance doesn’t matter
If you really love the person,
What matters most is
your honesty and trust
for that relationship
to work out.
Those Lovley Moments
When You Were Really Sleepy..
But
You Dont Want To Go To Sleep
Because
You Were Talking To That Special Person

Shila Ghosh : a lady 83 years old who lives at pali in West Bengal. Every
evening she comes from Pali to kolkata to sell the fries.The pedestrians out of
respect buy the fries from her. After lung cancer took away her only son
from her 5 years back,to make ends meet she works.Her nephew aged 30
works as a mover on meagre wages in pali.
.
When asked if she has a problem
in travelling,she weakly smile ans says “No,the bus gets me here and my
health is not that bad”.
.
She earns 400 rupees per day but still it is less for her family of
four.Circumstances could have easily forced her to beg but her dignity and
respect is everything for her,she would work till the end of her life rather than
beg on the streets.
.
When we go on complaining, let us remember her….. she has chose to solve
her problems on her own for as they say God helps them those who help
themselves.
.
Wonderful woman,
May god give her all the strength…
She truly is an inspiration for all of us ….

Inspiring Words Of Life

Follow your heart. Regardless of what others tell you to do, it’s how you feel at the end of the day that matters.
Mistakes are painful, but as time goes by, it becomes a collection of experiences called Lessons.
There are people that intend to hurt you, but there are also people who get hurt because you are hurt.
The pain of yesterday is the strength of today. – Paulo Coelho
Life is like a roller coaster. It has its ups and downs. But it’s your choice to scream or enjoy the ride.
In life, it’s not about being who everyone else wants you to be, but about being you and finding someone who loves every bit of it.
Everyone wants Happiness, no one wants Pain. But you can’t have a Rainbow without a little Rain.
Waiting hurts. Forgetting hurts. But not knowing which decision to take is the worst of suffering. – Paulo Coelho
At the end of the day, you can choose to either focus on what’s tearing you apart, or what’s holding you together. – Cristina Gilstrap
Never regret. If it’s good, it’s wonderful. If it’s bad, it’s experience. – Victoria Holt
Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. – Marilyn Monroe
Every man needs a woman when his life is a mess, Because just like in a game of chess, the queen protects the king.
Life doesn’t get easier, you just get stronger.
Sometimes God doesn’t give you what you think you want, not because you don’t deserve it, but because you deserve better.

Live a Life That Matters

Ready or not, some day it will all come to an end
There will be no more sunrises, no minute, hours or days
All the things you collected, whether treasured of forgotten
will pass to someone else
Your wealth, fame and temporal power will shrivel to irrelevance
It will not matter what you owned or what you were owed
Your grudges, resentments, frustrations, and jealousies
will finally disappear

So,too,your hopes,ambitions,plans, and to-do lists will expire
The wins and losses that once seemed so important will fade away
it won’t matter where you came from
It won’t matter whether you were beautiful of brilliant
Even your gender and skin color will be irrelevant
So what will matter ?
What will matter is not what you bought, but what you built
Not what you got, but what you gave
What will matter is not your success, but your significance
What will matter is not what learned, but what you taught
What will matter is every act of integrity, compassion courage
of sacrifice that enriched, empowered or encouraged others
to emulate your example
What will matter is not your competence, but your character
What will matter is not hoe many people you knew
but how many will feel a lasting loss when you’re gone
What will matter is not your memories
but the memories will feel a lasting loss when you’re gone
What will matter is how long you will be remembered and for what
Living a life that matters doesn’t happen by accident
It happens by choice ……………

“Eleven Hints for Life”

1. It hurts to love someone and not be loved in return.
But what is more painful is to love someone and never
find the courage to let that person know how you feel.

2. A sad thing in life is when you meet someone who
means a lot to you, only to find out in the end that it was
never meant to be and you just have to let go.

3. The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a
porch swing with, never say a word, and then walk away
feeling like it was the best conversation you’ve ever had.

4. It’s true that we don’t know what we’ve got until we lose
it, but it’s also true that we don’t know what we’ve been
missing until it arrives.

5. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an
hour to like someone, and a day to love someone-but it
takes a lifetime to forget someone.

6. Don’t go for looks, they can deceive. Don’t go for wealth,
even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you
smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day
seem bright.

7. Dream what you want to dream, go where you want to go,
be what you want to be. Because you have only one life and
one chance to do all the things you want to do.

8. Always put yourself in the other’s shoes. If you feel that it
hurts you, it probably hurts the person too.

9. A careless word may kindle strife. A cruel word may wreck
a life. A timely word may level stress. But a loving word may
heal and bless.

10. The happiest of people don’t necessarily have the best
of everything they just make the most of everything that comes
along their way.

11. Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss, ends with
a tear. When you were born, you were crying and everyone
around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die,
you’re the one smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Gangs of Wasseypur: Visceral revenge saga

Anurag Kashyap’s revenge saga “Gangs of Wasseypur” starts off in the most innocuous way — a shot of actress Smriti Irani opening the door and and inviting the audience in with a beaming smile. It’s a scene millions of viewers are familiar with, thanks to the popularity of the soap, but definitely not something you’d expect to see in the first frame of a revenge drama.
Such incongruous scenes and unexpected surprises pop up regularly during the 2.5-hour-long film. Kashyap uses a tongue-in-cheek approach to tell his story, pairing it with searing imagery, a couple of history lessons and the edgiest characters you will see on screen for some time.
But don’t blame yourself if the first 30 minutes of this film seem like a blur. Kashyap crowds it with so many characters, their back stories and so much history, that you won’t know who’s who. Eventually you will realise that this is a revenge saga centring around Sardar Khan (Manoj Bajpayee), whose only aim in life is to avenge his father’s death at the hands of coal mine owner Ramadhir Singh (played by Tigmanshu Dhulia).
The story starts before Sardar’s birth, establishes his past and then chronicles his life, including a turbulent married life, and his rise as the “bahubali” (strong man) of Wasseypur, a mining town in Jharkhand.
His rivalry with the Qureshis, who are the butchers of Wasseypur, and Ramadhir form the crux of the story, but Kashyap also devotes ample time to the two women in Sardar’s life — his two wives and the messy family equations his marriages create. Both Richa Chaddha and Reemma Sen are exceptional in their roles as the feisty wives of the protagonist.
Rajeev Ravi’s camera captures the dirt and grime of coal mines with such intensity that you might imagine yourself covered in soot. Kashyap makes sure the first half of the film doesn’t lose its pace, keeping you hooked. There is an occasional sprinkling of Bollywood dialogue (perfectly timed) and some edgy music by Sneha Khanwalkar which lend to the tone of the film.
In the second half though, the film loses steam and Sardar’s mission to finish Ramadhir Singh takes a back seat, and he chooses to give up his life of crime and take up fishing instead. Why he does this is not very clear, and with that plot point, the film loses its way.
The performances across the board are brilliant, but Bajpayee and Pankaj Tripathi as Sultan the butcher stand head and shoulders above the rest of the ensemble cast. Tripathi has more to do in the second part of the film and that alone is a reason for watching it.
Kashyap channels his inner Tarantino and succeeds in Indianising him a great deal, but the first 20 minutes and the second half are weak points in what is otherwise a brilliant film. Of course, this isn’t the end of the matter, and part two of this saga is supposed to be up for release soon. Until then, if you can stomach it, watch “Gangs of Wasseypur“.

Rathyatra festivities begin

As the three-day Rathyatra festivity began in the city, around 70-80 makeshift stalls of nankhatai have sprouted at entire Rathyatra region. If the vendors of these nankhatai stalls are to be believed, nankhatais worth Rs 60-70 lakhs would be sold during the festival.

According to vendors who have set up their shops for the Rathyatra festival, this season Besan Nankhatai is in demand.

Huge quantity of besan nankhkatai is being sold. According to Ashok, a nankhatai wala, while nankhatai is a popular delicacy in most of the fares, Rathyatra fare is the most prominent for us, as the nankhatai is offered to Lord Jagannath as 'prasad'.

Nankhatais of this season are also transported to other cities like Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, Lucknow and neighbouring cities. "Relatives and friends of people who come here as devotees give prior orders and thus after offering the delicacy to lord, send it to their near and dear ones residing in other cities," he informed.

The Resonance Ensemble - What Country Is This? (Not Two Records) 2012 ****½

One thing you can always count on with any recording from The Resonance Ensemble, is a full meal. All of the food groups are represented as well as a few snacks that may not necessarily be all that good for you but are so tasty you can't help but smile and enjoy the sugar rush. This is one album that you need to approach with an empty stomach and an appetite for a big plate of artistic buffet as you will be coming back to it again and again.

And with any piece of art, you only get out of it what you put in. With Ken Vandermark, his dedications are a good starting point to help you get into his creative impetus. Track one if for the Lithuanian poet, Czeslaw Milosz, who won the Nobel prize in 1980.

On Fabric Monument (for Czeslaw Milosz), the ensemble attacks the opening few measures as a unified, well oiled machine. What an incredible front line! The drums (Tim Daisy and Michael Zerang) along with the bass (Mark Tokar) start to rumble along and as soon as you think you know where this song is going, there is a crack of the snare releasing Dave Rempis' (saxophone) power. He doesn't waste any time propelling himself from the shoulders of the intro into a blistering solo full of confidence and above all purpose. Keeping in mind that Vandermark is a film studies graduate, it is worth following his aural cinematography here. Further along, after a series of big composed themes, Tokar sets a new tempo and groove that carries out for the second half of the track. A mood that Waclaw Zimpel adds a blissful Bb clarinet solo over. What a journey the ensemble takes you on. For nearly 20 minutes, I was transfixed, churning image after image in my mind as the track guided me through a part composed, part improvised masterpiece.

And the fun doesn't stop there, but as there are only three tracks on the recording, I don't want to spoil all the twists and turns of Vandermark's vision, but a few tastes won't hurt.

Acoustic Fence (for Witold Lutoslawski) allows Per-Ake Holmlander to weave his tuba through wisps and sheets of brass before any order is restored by a reunified front line blasting away. Tension builds to a saxophone battle and then complete silence. This opportunity is taken by Magnus Broo (trumpet) who expertly fills the quiet.

The third and final track on the recording, Open Window Theory (for Fred Anderson) is worth it alone for the touching and poignant Bb clarinet solo by Vandermark himself. As a dedication, you can hear the respect that is given through the instrument.

There is just so much to say about this recording but in fairness, the music describes itself more succinctly than I could. So as I sit back, completely full, licking my fingers, I hungrily await their next installment.

The Resonance Ensemble on this album:
Ken Vandermark - baritone sax & Bb clarinet
Per-Åke Holmlander - tuba
Magnus Broo - trumpet
Michael Zerang - drums
Tim Daisy - drums
Devin Hoff - bass
Mikołaj Trzaska - alto sax & bass clarinet
Dave Rempis - alto & tenor sax
Wacław Zimpel - Bb & bass clarinet
Steve Swell - trombone

World Music Day: When music became a language

He might have one of the most packed schedules in the world of music, but that's also the reason composer A R Rahman made it a point to stop and take note of the fact that June 21 was World Music Day. At his KM Music Conservatory, with students, teachers and sister Fathima, director of the school, decided to record a song composed by one of the faculty, sung by a student to commemorate the day.

"We recorded a Sufi qalam written by Munna Shaukat Ali in praise of the murshid or teacher. Both Rahman and Fathima were intent that something long-lasting and memorable be done to mark the day," says Jyoti Nair, senior manager at the Conservatory.

Meanwhile, Alliance Francaise on College Road was all abuzz with its week-long celebration of music. Considering the idea of World Music Day was conceptualised in France in 1976 by American musician Joel Cohen, it's no wonder that the cultural centre's "Fete de la Musique", a collaborative effort between Alliance Francaise of Madras, Goethe- Institut and Unwind Centre, will go on till June 26, featuring a wide range of musicians from India, France, Germany and the United States.

The Alliance Francaise auditorium was packed to the brim with music lovers who came to listen to a medley of jazz, rock, pop and even a choir for a programme that lasted over two hours. People were seen seated along the aisle, on the every bit of floor space available and even standing on the sides of the otherwise 15-seater room as White Lady, Adam and the Fishe-Eyed Poets, El Fe and more performed.

Max Mueller Bhavan saw pianist Anil and singer Vedanth Bharadwaj taking to the stage in a concert for a group of students from a corporation school in Aminjikarai. It was not a one-off concert, says Srinivasan. The concert also saw the launch of a website by NalandaWay and Goethe Institut. The website, Chennai Music Library, is a repertoire of clips of concerts given by various consular offices and cultural centres. Conceptualised by Srinivasan and V Sriram Iyer of NalandaWay, the library is an attempt to help students from underprivileged backgrounds get to know different kinds of music and instruments.

"We want children to be aware of different kinds of music and not just film songs," said Geetha Vedaraman of Goethe-Institut. According to Srinivasan, though music education is stressed as an important aspect of schooling, there is scarcity of education aids. So the clips, put together from videos provided by Alliance Francaise, US consulate, Inko Centre and Goethe-Institut will come in handy to educators and trainers.
