Unforgettable Doordarshan Days

Everyone has those sweet memories of childhood spending hours together watching those retrospective Doordarshan Days.I remembering running from school, tuition just to catch up with "Gaint Robot",which was aired late in the afternoon's. Those nostalgic moments bring back some wonderful days back into my mind with a ting of smile.
There are those ads that have probably slipped my introspection but I'm sure everyone would have loved those ads too...i remember those fabulous ad which inspired many people..."with a cigarette in my hand, i felt like a man",its one of the best classy social msg ads.
Its next to impossible to forget the song if you had watched TV,there were a bunch of 'short programs' that would be aired every now and then it was called "Ek Anek aur Ektha"..woh wat a remarkable punch in lines...
And hey that sweet ad..."kuch khaas hai,kuch baat hai"..cadbury ad,man i love that female dance in a funny way :-)
"Vicks ki gooli lo kich kich door", fevicol, lirl, …there so many innumerable ads,which leave me rapt for long time, today when i watch TV, there has been a huge gap which doordarshan has left in capturing thumping moments...!

Broken Pieces

My dear in every room of our time together there is a box, for all the memories that we shared together, now it is the time to pack away those beautiful memories, with lot of sadness,pain and with lot of care. The first one is a simple & yet beautiful smile, whenever i was thinking about you, i tired to neatly fold into four, and that's the best that thing which I could do. Next are all the memories & moments spend with you, of the times when we were two & spent time together, wrapped with lots of love one by one, and is sealed with tears as glue. And then there are the butterflies all around, which I had when you were near & close, and now they are trapped in a cage of sadness & in dark, and locked up with a tear. Next are the times we kissed & looked into each other eyes, each of which are now wrapped with a sigh, placed next to a rolled up list, of all the times I've asked myself why.....why this separation? Now had to pack a...

ISKON Temple Visit

Am a very ordinary person to write about Krsna & his leela. Iam not a great devotee of Krsna but my visit to west virgina & burnaby ISKON(The International Society for Krishna Consciousness ) temples made me attract towards the lordship of universe ie. Krsna. A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada is the founder acharya of the hare krishna movement, even though i have a half baked knowledge about the guru, his life is inspiring for lakhs of devotees across to world. The temple, like the other shrines of ISKON, has been constructed with the prime mission of spreading the messages encapsulated in Bhagwad Gita, the sacred book of the Hindus.Numerous Krishna devotees from across the globe flock to different ISKON temples to soothe themselves in the holy sanctum. The first time when I went along with my parents & my elder brother my heart was filled with over joyful happiness listening to kirtans, pravachans and aartis performed by the temple ,which are particularly attended by dev...

FORGIVE WHEN YOU CAN’T FORGET

“ Forgive ,” they say. “Even if they aren’t asking for it. Forgive. Do it for yourself.” -- I don't know who said it but it has pretty powerful impact on my life. It’s good advice given by many at times in my life. Forgiveness is a powerful act which doesn’t free the guilty party, but frees the victim from being held captive by the past actions of another. It doesn’t undo the event which caused that terrible pain. It doesn’t cause someone to forever forget. It simply creates the possibility for healing to begin. But what happens when you try to forgive and it doesn’t seem to work? You want to move on, but you can’t. You’re stuck. One of the great misconceptions about forgiveness is that it can happen in one dramatic act, nah it doesn’t, the ramification is so hard hitting at times. The thought is that we can have a powerful moment and forever be done with the situation. Some stand on a mountain, look up at the vast night sky, and make the decision to forgive the o...
