She defined charisma

She was beautiful. Ravishing. Gorgeous! Someone who could get men frothing at their mouths. Dark skinned yet ethnically,culturally and technically- a seductive star  who awed the whole nation.She was used,abused,tormented yet understood the game of her life. Penniless and a mother who schemed her through  the gutters of living. A living that no weak heart could survive.

After all, we ,the makings of mortality learn to SURVIVE right? It's a funny world. We survive gulping down all the absurdities of life. And that's proved in this book "Starry Nights" by Shobha De. I now know how controversial this book would've been ,then! 

I am not going to review the book. But this book portrays the untold stories of struggling men and women who rise to stardom and behave on their own whims and fancies despite their trying circumstances of greed,arrogance,unattended ambitiousness and utmost loftiness.  

I had nothing to particularly "learn" from this book but I think it makes you look at celebrities in different light.But like I said , I always fall in love with the main protagonist . Here it was Asha Rani aka Viji. Her character might look so outrageous but I think each one of us play our role in life to justice and to the fullest and so did She. See,I have become so defensive of Asha Rani now .Giving us cue from here that we have no business to judge people,whatsoever, because you have no idea what their journey is all about. Fate decides our rewards and punishments. So let's keep planting our life deeds for rewards alone! Because in our line of sight,life is always greener than it should be and punishments are hardly a thing. *Right,I am an idealist,  a romantic who can't take no for an answer.*

And I think Asha Rani was a revolution of sorts.She might have just jiggled her hips in skimpy outfits on screen and sizzled her way to stardom but her rising out of ashes every time she made stray mistakes is phenomenal. One doesn't get to see so many like her,really.I liked the book.Not "loved" but liked it.

Asha Rani will keep my soul stirring of all her doings,for a while.A character so bold, unambitious yet lucrative , reserved yet buoyant.Bitchy yet exuding charm. Trampy yet a walking ,waking charismatic beauty.Slutty yet a wife. Lusty yet blossoming with pristine, unadulterated love.Her love of life;Sasha- her daughter. 

I recommend you reading this book. But people,beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder ,er,reader! So if you sense the spark and glitter in all the muck ,then you're gifted to have witnessed and understood what we humans are capable of surviving. As a woman.As a girl.As a wife. As a mother.Picking up the shambles of life and sticking them back together and starting life all over again. It's phenomenal. 

Man..this book is exhilarating! It kept me hooked all through.

Go ahead, get intoxicated with Asha! I'm still reeling under her effect ;) You know how sentimental I get with these fictional characters no! Nooo..Asha's got to be real! :O

Ciao. Have a great week!!! :)

And hey, the message is, Never give up! Dream on baby! <3 

Dreams really do come true! Strive hard.Harder.

Gone into hiding

Helllloooo World! :)

Back after ten days of tiresome project work and those recommendation letters..Bla..What a week! I almost had to stay away from blogging to concentrate and stay a little disconnected. Sometimes ,staying disconnected gives you a calm ,doesn' it? Helps me get a grip over myself. I am in total charge of my situation...I don't feel the obsessive need to write a number of senseless or sensible posts. I just have the chance to work peacefully and give myself time to view my life where I stand in, right now.I can hardly believe it's been 10 days! Feels like it all rolled away in  a flash! 

And coming back just in time to check on what everyone is doing and not doing... it's a small break for me..this writing ..these outbursts help me on the long run. To keep away from the humdrum of my zealous sans doleful life.

Sans doleful. 
Yea right.
*my foot*


However,So glad to be here. :)
Phew,Finally!

The Butterfly Effect

Are you wondering why I am so obsessed of the Butterfly Effect!? Read on..

They say The Butterfly Effect means that every man's decision irrespective of how

 considerate or inconsiderate,has its consequences to an extent that it can affect

 the generations to come.In other words,a butterfly flapping it's wings in one part

of the world leads to a tornado in the other part of the world.Interesting hun!? :) 

Scientifically , two scientists proposed a Chaos theory. In accordance with the theory,

it stated that a seagull flapping it's wings here would have devastating consequences on the other side of the planet. And just to give a poetic boost,

They called this "seagull" -- "Butterfly"! 

And best part is, The Butterfly Effect is just theory. It is on it's journey to scientific 

conformation. But what I love most is the part where -Every decision we makes has 

its effects.The decision,if taken ghastly! Life goes haywire.It's not something 

threatening. Just another reason to have our eyes,ears,hearts and everything fixed

 on where our decision takes us.And to what extent it affects people around us.And

 to what extent we feel accountable for it and make the necessary changes, is 

where comes our roles to play.   

It is not wrong to be wrong. But to undo one mistake ,we tend to make a hundred 

more. Why not look at it this like this ,

I do a mistake.Everyone points fingers at me.Everyone brands me heartless.I feel

disgusted for having done that-whatever-mistake because people looked at me like i were some criminal. So here's the kick! Instead of pressing buttons of arrogance and pouncing 

back savageously-just Stop and think. Give yourself some time. Forgive yourself.

Stand up for yourself.Because in standing up for yourself, people will stand up for you.

 And when people stand up for you, you are not undoing your mistake(mind you!) you

are lessening the hastiness and contempt people throw at you! Life becomes easy. 

Being humble was never so wrong. And it's the 21st century,Nobody is really going to

 hurl you with stones for the "crimes" you've done!

Let the love grow in your heart. Because, love is so powerful.It brings miracles upon 

anyone seeking to be blessed with! And because of this very reason,people from down

the ages have sought to inspirational stories and real happenings that stress

 importance of the Butterfly Effect! It might not be scientifically proven.But so what,

does that stop us from believing somebody loves us ,if not scientifically proven?
