Satyameva Jayate....Amir's generous effort to teach us...

I am crying after watching the second episode of Satyameva Jayate. The episode was about Child sexual abuse. The episode was all about to teach the parents and the children also to stop this crime. I request you all to watch this episode..... 

The Ghazal king left us...

for last half an hour i am trying to write something about my all time favorite Ghazal singer Jagjit Singh. but some lines are coming out from my mind that i unable to link properly. this is really a personal loss for me. i really can't believe Jagjit Singh is no more with us. We will never get any new gajal from his majical voice.

today was a very busy day even i didn't watched the news. now only when some sound of radio was coming from ground floor i was thinking why they are concentrating on ghazal only. but i was happy also that they are only playing Jagjit Singh. then the thought came in my mind is he alright? because he was hospitalized for many days. and my thought was right.....i really cant believe this........

his songs gave me my first love. i was crying when my hubby (at his teenage) send me some CD of Jagjit Singh and i really understood how deeply he loves me. The songs of Jagjit Sings was like getting my first proposal for love...Jagjit Singh is the reason for whom I got my first love.....

we really wanted to attend a live programme and wanted to tell him this story to him. i dont know with how many thousand life he is attached like this through his Ghazals....

  

Puja countdown started with Mahalaya

Can you tell in which day in we search for the radio. yes, at least one day in the year we clean up, repair our radio to listen Mahisasurmardini. from this day our puja countdown starts.

this is the day from when we deny to concentrate in any new project. but this is not the case for me..........:(

I have my PhD thesis viva on Friday. i also have to spend at least one day in puja with my external examiner. ohh god i want to cry....

i really hate to do this but i have to.

anyway, i'll surely manage to spend this bitter days for my upcoming puja vacation. here is the full story of mahalaya. if you don't understand the lyrics at least you will surely enjoy the calm music and wonderful voices.

Rainy day and khichuri....a royal combination...

its all raining and raining...this year monsoon is very strong and is fulfilling our life as well as the field, roads, drains, railway tracks...water harvesting is not required if every year rain bring such blessings...but floods are also prevailing in some areas...

any way, i am writing this post after looong time about the sweet and yummy happenings of monsoon...that is KHICHURI...

if you really want to enjoy the 'borsar khichuri'(Khichri in the days of heavy downpour) you need to come from office with wet cloths, having folded bottom wear up-to knee...but the bad news is i had to cook by myself...for me and for others...i was missing the cooking of mom...any way, its give me immense  pleasure serving some good meal for some happy smiles....

Yah...today i'll share my tiny garden with u. we desired to have a large one but don't have enough space outside our home. So we decided to do it on rooftop. so, I have a rooftop garden that makes me happy like anything. We started gardening to heal our soul. doing all the tiny things together we forget all the lacking of life. Our small garden brings lots of color to our life.
