Daily Musings-Day One

-


Yesterday was interesting, motivational and inspirational. I seek to learn from the smallest of things, love to keep my ears and eyes open till tiredness and low charge shut them down.

Gennext Cricket Institute and Carrom Ball keep me on my toes right through the day. It is always good to be busy and do what you love to do especially in these tough times. A New virtual "Gennext Super Cricketer" contest draws contestants from nook and corner of the country. Inspirational because the contestants come from such humble rootings. There is this lad, a promising cricketer from a small hamlet in Uttar Pradesh who runs from his agricultural field to his hutment where he showcases his skills. Internet connectivity slags but he zooms in, tries his best to impress the judges. Wow!!!! Dreams, Hopes and Skill all related to each other are they not?

In between who would not want to get your ears closer to musical notes? Rhajesh Vaidya is as usual at his very best and the Veena does the Musical Talking in his hands. Actor Satish makes his zestful appearance and does manage to tickle quite a few bones. So much talent in this country that leaves me in amazement.

Lunch is quickly gobbled in between at a time, who knows when but the clock is ticking fast. Rasam is piping hot and tasty as it is served out of the loving hands of a ever caring mother whose only prayer right now is to get to see India playing cricket. Soon is what I hope as well. Fag end of the day is left to some interesting trends and data. Dollar Venky Anna is on fire. Latest you-tube video is released and me and the Mentor are involved in what kind of videos are trending, the content on the strategy. 

Day has to end with Kishore Da on Saregama giving me a soulful, musical rendering "Mere Sapnon Kee Rani Kab Aayegi Tu." Sleep beckons and so do Dreams about a future that is already beginning to look positive,bright and cheerful. I have kept up my promise of a short and sweet musing. See You Tomorrow again.

A Letter from a DieHard Fan of BigB to Shoojit Sircar

Dear Shoojit Da, At the outset let me state categorically that I am a Huge Big B Fan but after seeing Pink and Piku I must admit that I have become your fan as well. I have no qualms to state that I am a Indian by birth and a Bengali by heart. I have spent all my childhood days in Kolkata, studied in Don Bosco, Park Circus and so you can call me Kolkataar Chelay. The reason for writing to you is actually based on your tribute to Big B in your Article in TOI. I wholeheartedly endorse each word that you have written. You have worked with the legend and therefore there is authority in each word, and as factual as it can get. In my early formation years I have been much enamoured by him. I tried to walk and talk like him. In fact I have broken my throat hoarse multiple times just to get closer to that baritone voice of his. Thanks to Dr. Ghosh and his throat relievers I could get back to my own voice. Dr. Ghosh on seeing me itself would state " Kee Karthik Aabar Tomaar Omita

It is special and very special in a particular quote that belongs to me. I have a certain birthright licence over it. The quote goes as follows: "I am an Indian by Birth, a Tamilian by Heart but a Bengali by Blood" This is very profound in the sense that I had spent all my childhood days at Kolkata. I have been blessed to have witnessed the diversity of our Indian culture even as a child.  Now back to my Kolkata days, There is a love story brewing a very special relationship between me and my father's Vespa WBN-8251. You got it right, it was my dads scooter that took me around the different lanes and by lanes of Kolkata during the Puja season. I would stand in front, hold the handle in from and vroooooom we would be off on a joy ride in the city of joy. As a child this interim period between Mahalaya was extremely joyous to me for two reasons and that sort of forms the crux of the entire story today.  There is the rich Tradition in Tamil Nadu to celebrate th

  Mango Diaries continues to evolve and surprise me with its sweetness and ability to charm its audience. I guess more than anything its the positive intent and inspirational real life stories that causes that bell to ring. Anyways in this edition of Mango Diaries, I seek to focus on how I managed to steer this negative mind of mind to something very positive and cheerful. It goes back to the times of Covid-1st Wave, initially the dark times accompanied by an eerie stone like silence and nothing but the shrill and occasional sound of the passing Ambulance could be heard. It was at the same time I had also lost my beloved father. Barely had i consigned my fathers mortal remains to the flames, within the next few days, I found myself in the ICU ward of a Hospital battling Covid myself. Such tough times, no one was allowed to visit me, surrounded by other patients, it was extremely depressing. It had come to an extent where I even contemplated running away from the hospital but guess I ha
