Jo Baat Kehte Darte Hai Sab, Tu Wo Baat Likh - Javed Akhtar | Jashn-e-Ra...

This awesomeness! :)

The ONE and Only Javed Saab!

Judith Kerr, author of 'The Tiger Who Came To Tea' - in her own words

She is awfully enchanting!...

I wish she was my grandma! :)

what a LEGEND!

Judith Kerr :)

 

I was first introduced to Judith Kerr and Tiger who came to Tea by my late father!

He had a hobby of reading comics and picture books, Tin Tin, Archie Digest, and one of them 

was Tiger who came to Tea....

The simple yet funny illustrations left an impact on my mind as 

a child, and made me think if I could illustrate a story like this....

Later learnt a lot about Judith and her successful escape from Germany..

and 'When Hitler stole Pink Rabbit'

Forever in love with this quirky story and its cute illustrations... :)

I dream to age and grow old like Judith, keep illustrating and telling lovely stories!

Jhumka Nirzara - Parakh :)

Can't get over this pretty song, Jhumka :)

when you sing Jhumka, dress accordingly :)

Adhi raat jab chand dhale - Paheli - Gulzar Saab

My attempt of this beautifully composed, (in your face) kind of a song,

written by Gulzar  Saab. Had a privilege of illustrating one of his poems 

for a publisher two years back :)

Just adore the folk touch to this song's composition! :)

:)

Bad things happen to good people constantly!

One should pray that, when our turn comes,

may God give us the wisdom to sail through the 

storm with strength, courage and perseverence!

Character drawn in the illustration is inspired by yours truly...blessed childhood :)

Go back to simpler memories....happy school days...buchachi phula :)

Directors’ Cuts: “Become Microscope” by Aaron Rose

I usually go back to Corita when I am searching for inspiration as an 

illustrator. This extraordinary artist and educator always comes across,

as a smart little girl, who just seems mesmerised by colours and art..

And deeply rooted in truth and faith about GOD...

'Life is just a bowl of cherries sometimes'

'Press of my boot to the Earth springs a thousand affections'

such profound but positive and refreshing outlook 

of looking at life....

Love you Corita :) 

THE WORLD IS HER PAINTBRUSH AND HER COLOURS ARE BRIGHT :D

(Don't miss our matching outfits..the illustration and Mr. Bachan's) :)

You are the father I never had Mr. Bachan...

Adore you to eternity :)

This industry has given me a support virually...

for past 12 years...Can never be enough thankful! :)

Injustice shall ALWAYS be met with written consequences...:)

Especially Mr. Bachan thank you for your blog!

 

An ode to - Kal ho na ho :)

Running around the city]

Trying to heal my broken heart

While searching for my father,

Who is long gone.

A younger brother,

A precious baby sister,

A mother and a grandma 

who don't get along...

Grumpy all day, 

Raging against the world,

My best friend is there,

He tolerates it all.

A life filled with loved ones,

But my father's loss 

Has left a hole in my heart...

I am waiting for a miracle,

May be an angel,

To comfort and console me

Through the storm

I peek out the window one morning,

and I hear you singing

'pretty woman'

staring into my eyes.

The skeptical me ignores 

all that you are doing,

but you have taught me to smile

with all the warmth and fuzzies

You are helpful, gentle,

you have almost become

a voice in my head

and I have fallen for you alas...

Strolling through all the pastels,

I have chosen red,

passionate, adventurous,

I confess my love at last..

But you are a 'married man'

and you tell me to hold my best friend's hand

who loves me beyond measures,

I accept my best friend with a broken heart.

We are picking jewellery for the wedding,

and life reveals to me,

that my angel is 

about to die...

I run, through streets of 

NewYork...crying my heart out,

staring into the sea...and 

you arrive to console me...

You express your love for me

with your eyes...

and hold me close to your 'heart'..

(heart) that has made you sick

and I fail to breathe at all...

You have gone.

The angel I loved so

dearly is Gone...

a miracle who made

me smile has gone...

a blessing who made

me forget my father has gone...

and before leaving me

you have graced me with a love..

of my best friend 

who is my companion lifelong...

Movie that just gets Shah Rukh right!

In my opinion one of the BEST rom coms Indian cinema has created!

and does justice to shah Rukh's wit...

Karan Johar has portrayed this woman called Naina...

Her struggles, her pain, her messed up relationships..

A woman that was so layered...

who wants to sort the relationships first

(before having a career or a marriage)

And in walks the angel who bestows upon her those

blessings...gradually, unknowingly...

Transforms her life...

and gifts her Her best friend as her Lover...

My heart breaks at the end when

Aman and Naina meet at the water's edge...

The colour palette of the movie was a breath of fresh air...

and brought an entire new aesthetic to Indian Movies...

And the songs by Javed Saab....NEVER fail...

Best work by Mr. Karan Johar!

Shallow idiots get offended by the 'Intensity'

Gee my father is just so talented...

The movie that talked about Goodness and power of ordinary people...

Lovely!

Juggling.. dignity, deadlines and dishes..

and if at all a woman fails in either of them, 

the social stigma and all
