Excess Fear!

The thing about fear is,
when it does not know what's going to happen (uncertainty),
it just assumes that we are going to die! Its conditioned to think like that
from all the years of our evolution!

So controlling fear is essential, because if it exceeds
its required quantity, its going to make you fall!
You are going to become a slave to it!

So controlling fear is essential!

When Beth is parting!

प्रिय बेथ,

सुख दुःख, हर्ष विषाद, आशा निराशा,
साऱ्या मानवी भावना जेथे लाटा होऊन फुटतात,
कालनदीच्या त्या किनाऱ्यावर,
तुझी शांत, सोशिक, समंजस पावले,
त्या अनिवार्य अंतिम क्षणाची वाट बघत,
तिष्ठत उभी आहेत!
चिंतांच्या अणि संघर्षांच्या पार जाण्यास,
सज्ज झालेल्या माझ्या लाडके,
ज्या सदगुणांनी तुझे जीवन सुन्दर केले,
ते सारे जाताना मला देऊन जा!
ती सहनशीलता, ती  आनंदी वृत्ती,
आणि शरीरवेदनेच्या पिंजऱ्यातही निर्भय राहिलेला तो आत्मा!
सारे मला देऊन जा!
माला देऊन जा ते धैर्य, तो समजूतदार गोडवा,
ती कर्तव्यदक्षता -
ज्यानी तुझ्या पायांखालच्या वाटेवर
सतत उगवती ठेवली हिरवीगार हिरवळ,
आणि उमलऊन आली असंख्य चिमुकली फुले,
मला देऊन जा तो निःस्वार्थीपणा आणि ते आसिम औदार्य,
जे सतत क्षमाशील होते जगाशी, केवळ प्रेमाखातर,
अशारीतिने या अंतिम वियोगाच्या क्षणिहि,
येतच आहोत आपण अधिक जवळ,
आणि विरहदुःखाच्या कडवटपणात,
भरते आहे काहीतरी मधुर, सुन्दर!
या दुःखाच्या स्पर्शाने विरघळून जेल माझा कठोरपणा,
आणि होईल, आद्याताविषयीच्या गाढ़ श्रद्धेचा उदय!
तू नदीपर जाशील, आणि त्या पलीकडच्या तीरावर
तिष्ठत राहशील माझ्यासाठी,
जेव्हा आशा आणि श्रद्धा यांचे सौरक्षक देवदूत,
माझ्यासाठी धाडून,
एके दिवशी मलाही नेशील तू आपल्याकडे,
त्या स्वर्गीय सुन्दर, जगपलीकडच्या जगात!

Marathi translation of one of the poems from
Luisa May Alcott's Little Women!

What does creativity mean to you?

What does creativity mean to you?

Expressing your creativity whether you are good at it
or bad at it.  whether its diamonds or coal, is essential
for a wholehearted life!

'Fairy dust and Garden soil!':)

Asking your fear questions!

I am terrified to work on this project.

But I am slightly more eager to see how it will turn out!

and often times when my fear arises, which it does non stop,

I try to engage in a conversation with it,

so the first thing I do is thank it!

Which I don't think we do enough,

I don't think we show enough gratitude to our fear,

all its trying to do is keep us alive,

save our life, so I thank it for caring about me!

trying to protect me! and I try to explain to it what I am doing, 

and why we are doing this! And know that fear's job is to tell

me all the worst outcomes that can happen, but I still want to do it,

and if fear still does not back down,

I ask fear for its alternative suggestions!

So may be ' I am afraid to do this project, so what are your suggestions, my fear?'

And it never has a suggestion. That we can call a 'better' one. Its does not have an

answer! So it just does not want me to do anything. It would prefer if I stayed in

a darkened room,  with a cool damp cloth over my forehead,

hiding from the world forever! And that is NOT going to work for me! 

That's not an interesting enough alternative! Until my fear gives me a better idea, 

than the worst case scenario that I already have in my head, I am not going to listen to it!

Because the alternative is 'Do something', it might not work, people might not like it! 

I may not make money from it, it may turn into a disaster, but at-least its 'a thing'! 

Fear always offers you a blank piece of paper. 'I got nothing for you!' and when the alternative is between 'something' and 'Nothing' I am not going to go with 'nothing'! I am always going to go with 'something' which is not an act of faith that its gonna work! 

It's like 'I want to start writing a new book, but I am too afraid to start until I am convinced that the universe will give  the desired outcome!' That is not going to happen!

The universe might not give you the outcome that you want! But the universe is going to give you 'AN' outcome! Its going to give you something! You are going to know more about yourself than you knew before writing that book may be! And it will lead to 'SOMETHING' and always given the choice between 'something and nothing' go for 'Something'....

Just saying!

And I do enjoy sarcasm! But when I say I have an anxiety disorder and you give an eyeroll! I have noticed it!
And it's not okay! 

!

Don't be so quick to judge me! It's been a difficult and unexpected journey for past few years! What else can I say!
Being stalked over social media was the most difficult thing of all!

Except 'THE' blog!

Grateful

Grateful for ‘genuine affection’

Happy Diwali to you and your family.

Thankful ALWAYS.

Nutan.....

My depiction of smart and progressive Nutan from my favourite song
‘Yeh tanhai hai re hai, Jane Phir aaye na aaye’
Want to spend more time on illustrating some of my favourite songs....
I hope I get the time someday.....

Which one are you?

I wanted to settle for Amy but I am turning out to be Jo more and more each day! No regrets 👌

About 'THE' blog!

Abhimaan

Some of my favourite films of Mr. Amitabh Bachhan!
Thank you sir! It's been quite a baffling journey. From watching
some of your wonderful films, to 'We all scream for ice cream'!
is surreal. Thank you for hearing that scream! Going through your
blog was a purely intuitive decision I took. And what I found was
shocking, frightening. But I started connecting the dots...
and it brought me home!

Chupke Chupke

I watch Chupke Chupke again and again. Its one of my favourite movies of yours.
From that to Geetfarosh - Bhavaniprasad Mishra poem we have come quite far!
Reading your blog has angered me many times in past few years but all's well that ends well!
Let's put it at that way! I wish these coincidences were for a better reason though!
In some other reality, I hope that happens!

Mili

In past 7-8 years your Tumblr has been quite a support!
It was good english practice too! Thank you for being the mediator
in past few months. Thank you for everything and sorry
for any inappropriate comments. You have been a real help!

p.s. If you do not like my post please feel free to say so!
So I can shout back :) But I have been planning to write this genuinely
for past few days! You may write some bad comments like
'Thats how the cookie crumbles' and things like that, but still
I am writing this. Not knowing how you will respond!

But after all that has happened I thought I owed to write this!


Love!

!

When in a crisis....

When in a crisis, ask yourself,
'what is it here to show me?'
or teach me?

Promise this to yourself!

Promise this to yourself!
that you will speak up,
you will show up, you will stand up,
you will sit in, you will volunteer,
you will shout out, you will help!
you will lend a hand, you will offer your talent
and your kindness however you can.

And you will work towards transforming the moment
that you are in! Which leads to bigger moments!

Because success is a process.

You are not stuck!

The unwanted eyeballing is a defensive action when you were in the dangerous situation. It may be coming from anger, fear or both. Just remind yourself that, that situation has passed. You no longer need the defensive measures. Start changing the habit. Occasionally you may feel embarrassed. But know that its 'just embarrassing'- Nothing more! It will get better. Build a support system.Know that your condition is strictly anxiety based. And do not keep it open for interpretations. Pay no attention to people who shame you. You are worthy and you are loved! 

Important....

Faith!

Faith sees best in the dark!

I am on a spree!

I know you are very gracious!
but please do not make someone's else's
problem as your 'own' and 'steal the thunder'!

people who suffer have the capacity to deal with it.
no need to start the 'stalking' movement over it.

Save your obnoxious opinions for someone who needs it.

I am sorted!


and please do not keep your happiness so dependent on my failures!
because there will come a day when I will get over this, I am worried what will
cheer you up then and what will inspire you to draw?

!

And the person who draws every
intimate detail about your married life
is not a teacher, some things rather not be said! 

Things to remember!

You have developed a stutter. Its debilitating!
It embarrasses you! and the bullies are vicious!

But always remember that bravery resides in every heart
and yours is firece and clear!

And remember when you get knocked down! Get up! Get up!
Because if you listen you will summon the bravery to overcome the stutter,
and you will learn to stand up to bullies!

You will realise that countless people suffer equally or more!
with much less support and much less reason to want to get up!
But they do, they get up, they keep going.......and so must you!

The Scout Guide trip!

When in school, we all went for scout guide picnics.
We spent sometime with different environments, away from our houses.
Did many exercises, activities, work, spent time with our friends, laughed, fought, cried
Cooked food, watched the landscapes around. Lived in dormitories.

We were learning many things on these excursions,
from teachers, fellow students, from the nature. Its not all pleasant, sometimes
we have had fights too. But it all adds up to our experience!

But somewhere among all these things, we tend to miss our house.
may be when in a fight, we think, we would like to go home!
or when we feel a bit uncomfortable in a dormitory,
we remember how our house feels like!

Our life here on Earth is like that scout guide trip! We are here to experience and learn.
from one another, from the surrounding, lessons, that help us grow, and helps our soul growth.
We are here for a brief amount of time! and we will go to our permanent house when we die!
Until then gather all that matters and is important, which makes you a better! and keep moving!

1. To survive is to find meaning in the suffering!

2. Waves will come! Learn to swim!

Humpty Dumpty egg!

As said very wisely, people suffering from PTSD are like the Humpty Dumpty egg. At one point this egg is sitting over the wall singing merrily and next moment its a scrambled mess! I am struggling with PTSD for past 10 years, which I discovered pretty late. So thought of writing about it today.

Post traumatic stress disorder involves anxiety attacks, increased palpitation, eyeballs or pupil dysfunction, sometimes shooting the BP high or low, flashbacks, uncontrollable thoughts about the event, severe headache, recurring fear, nightmares, sometimes sleeplessness, difficulty in breathing in extreme cases blackouts and collapse.

It causes hypervigillence, where in the person becomes overly alert to avoid stressful situations.
It causes behavioural changes which are called ticks. While experiencing the ticks person may experience severe headache. These attacks can last up-to several minutes causing extreme panic and fear! and then they fade. This disorder comes in waves. Ticks tend to reduce with increase meditation and mindfulness practices.

Most of the people suffering from this tend to isolate themselves because these people are unaware when they will get the attack. These attacks are physiologically painful! and in extreme cases people collapse. Are we building an environment where we are not aggravating the anxiety by putting up poisonous content over social media?

Trolling over the internet only fuels this condition. What right do we have to play with people's mental health? If we encounter a problem try asking what is it? Instead of jumping to conclusions.
And writing facebook posts mocking is just downright mean and stupid! We are not high school students who will just bully people, we need to start dealing with the issues like adults and with a sensitivity.

And someone's stress disorder is NOT a sugarcoated myth!

With proper counselling and treatment these people can lead a normal life. Help build a safer internet.

Sure! and you can wear all the 'yellow' things in the world, to spread disinformation about a person's identity, just know that 'what you are wearing is what YOU represent!'

And be rest assured, especially a PTSD sufferer who is a 100 times ALERT about his or her environment is watching your conduct VERY closely. So do not try to fool anyone!
DO NOT force your 'yellowness' to someone else.

People who start wearing 'hints' like these will eventually mess themselves up, because thats the basic thought they have hold on to.

And do not talk about people's sexual orientation as easily as you are giving shallow 'movie review' to your frivolous peers. Have enough maturity before you comment!

I have PTSD!

I have PTSD and I have a thick skin.
Thank God!

:)

What stories do you want to tell?
the ones that are about the social reform?
or the ones about the personal crisis?
or both?

But if you want to live a Rom-Com
you must have the guts to protect it.

Things ALWAYS work out!

Those who move forward with a happy spirit,
will find that, the things ALWAYS work out!

(Arranged Marriage) लग्न हा एक आंधळा जुगार आहे. जिंकण्याची उमेद किवा सपशेल हरण्याची तयारी असल्याशिवाय तो खेळू नाही अस म्हणतात.

पण मैत्री ? मैत्री ही करण्याची गोष्ट आहे की होण्याची ? मित्र शोधायचा असतो की सापडतो ? चांगल्या मैत्रीत भ्रमनिरास झाले तरी हरकत नाही. कारण खऱ्या मैत्रीत कितीही वादळ आली, तरी ती भावना मुळात खरी होती याच समाधान संपूर्ण आयुष्य जगायला ही पुरेस असत. बरोबर घालवलेला चांगला काळ हा आयुष्यभराचा दिलासा बनु शकतो.

"आणि कितीही वेगळे असलो तरी आम्ही मित्र झालो।" आणि उद्या आम्ही शत्रुही झालो तरी अनेक मतभेद आमच्यात होतील आणि ते वैधहि असतील। पण ते म्हणतात तस,

In your friend, you should possess your best enemy.
Your heart should feel closest to him, even when you oppose him.

आणि एक दिवस असाही येईल जेव्हा आम्ही एकमेकांना पूर्ण समजू।

May be then, I will have a different colour and a different name.

पण तूर्तास,

When you part from your friend, you grieve not!
for that which you love most in him, may be clearer in his absence,
as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plane and
let there be no purpose in friendship, save the deepening of the spirit.
- Khalil Gibran

"येऊ आपण परत, एकमेकांना ओळखल म्हणजे झाल!"
मित्र शोधायचा असतो, की सापडतो?,
कदाचित तो ओळखायचा असतो!

Woh kehta tha, woh sunti thi 😊

वह कहता था,
वह सुनती थी,
जारी था एक खेल
कहने-सुनने का।

खेल में थी दो पर्चियाँ।
एक में लिखा था *‘कहो’*,
एक में लिखा था *‘सुनो’*।

अब यह नियति थी
या महज़ संयोग?
उसके हाथ लगती रही वही पर्ची
जिस पर लिखा था *‘सुनो’*।

वह सुनती रही।
उसने सुने आदेश।
उसने सुने उपदेश।
बन्दिशें उसके लिए थीं।
उसके लिए थीं वर्जनाएँ।
वह जानती थी,
'कहना-सुनना'
नहीं हैं केवल क्रियाएं।

राजा ने कहा, 'ज़हर पियो'
*वह मीरा हो गई।*

ऋषि ने कहा, 'पत्थर बनो'
*वह अहिल्या हो गई।*

प्रभु ने कहा, 'निकल जाओ'
*वह सीता हो गई।*

चिता से निकली चीख,
किन्हीं कानों ने नहीं सुनी।
*वह सती हो गई।*

घुटती रही उसकी फरियाद,
अटके रहे शब्द,
सिले रहे होंठ,
रुन्धा रहा गला।
उसके हाथ *कभी नहीं लगी वह पर्ची,*
जिस पर लिखा था, *‘कहो'*।


Who are we to compare ourselves with these great women but least we can do is speak our minds even if no one listens, cares. Least we can expect is our shrill voice will help someone to fight their fight, our smile in darkest days shall inspire someone to carry on! Speaking out is a must though! 😊

To what extent one shall listen to the different opinions the surrounding imposes. Never deviate from our truth and our goal. It's a good poem but one shall not forget that one has a mouth to speak and opinion to assert! 

Ek Mulakat - Amrita Pritam!

Illustration for a poem!

Worked on this today!

About today! :)

'You complete me!'

Never say to anyone 'You complete me!'
People can complement you but only you can complete yourself!

Life can do many things to you, you may lose people
so you must be strong enough to walk on your own!

Potential is always bigger than the problem!

Believe that in the dark night of the soul,
the pain is pushing you, until
you get pulled by a larger vision!
A vision that is bigger than the pain!
Potential is always bigger than the problem!

So once you have a purpose when you wake up
every morning and start to walk towards your vision
instead of moving back towards your problems...

That does not mean there won't be any challenges,
we are not praying for a challenge free life,
we are praying that when the challenges come,
may they activate latent potential!

Understanding that pain pushes until vision pulls,
ask what if questions, try to visualize the kind of life you
want to live, begin to talk about it, begin to write it down,
begin to dream about it, talk to the vision!

How to manifest...

I learnt about the manifestation!
Which is 'How to manifest'?
which is establishing intention!

Beginning to see the kind of life you want to live
You have to talk about the manifestations more than
your problems. Because at the end of the day,
if you are complaining, more than talking about your vision.

So a shift takes place when we talk about the possibilities,
more than you talking about your issues. You do not deny the issues!
Bad things happen in life!

But give more of your energy to your vision, than your problems!
So when you start talking about the possibilities, then your energy starts
flowing in that direction!

Start asking the 'what if' question..

'what if everything is working for my good?!'

'what if all the bad things that have happened in my life are leading me
towards activating all my potential?'

'What if God really IS on my side?'

And you will start to notice little, tiny miracles happening in your life!

The stage called 'The dark night of the soul' is leading you towards a new yourself!

My design on the diaper :D

Some Boho patterns I worked on!

I worked on this today!

Moral Compass!

Carry your own moral compass with yourself ALWAYS!
No one is going to rescue you out of anything! But if you
have your moral compass intact in the most difficult situations
nobody can move you!

If people throw their judgements, no matter how actively
and abashedly! Have courage to disagree!

When people defame us, we make sure we keep on doing
what is right! Gossips make us more determined to keep on
doing the right thing and being on the right path! Its never about 
proving them wrong! But its about doing things in alliance with 
your conscious for your peace!

ALWAYS evolve...

ALWAYS evolve...
from a Money-Plant to a Feng Shui!
Feng Shui are not just plants, they say these plants
are about the energy. Likewise work on yourself,
your energy, to make it one with the universe!

Be yourself unapologetically!
If it comes to that be alone, for its better to be by yourself than
being in a wrong company! Do the right thing!
Be the right person for yourself and you will be
surrounded by right people eventually!

Three types of People

There are three types of people that you will come across
while living this life

1. People who are rainbow to your cloud - People who help you in difficult times.

2. People who are thorns to your rose - These are the people who help you grow
these people help you become the best version of yourself. They might be hard on you.
They might criticise you. But its all coming from a good place. They are well intentioned people
These are the keepers!

3. People who are rocks in your pants! - Now these are the people you do not befriend!
Not in any case! people who pass sexual remarks, below the belt remarks nasty and derogatory comments. These are the toxic people.They could be bullies. These people will make you feel that you are worthless. They may disguise themselves as friends! But they are worse than your enemies! You have nothing to do with such people, not even the enmity! They will make you feel uncomfortable thats why they called the rocks in your pants! They are as helpful as blisters on a hike! So stay away from such people!

We come to Earth with a purpose

I believe that we are beautiful spiritual beings,
who are here for a brief time, in these clay vessels
to learn lessons, to learn to love another!

We come to Earth to with a purpose.
Do not think for a moment that you are an accident!
and you were born to who you were born to,
and you are with people you are with now,
as a great divine plan!

We learn from our families!
A lot sometimes that we do not even want to learn!
But they are teaching us as hopefully we are teaching them!

We have two homes our physical body and this Earth
We should learn to take good care of both!

:)

When it looks like the sun,
is not shining anymore.....
God puts up a rainbow in the clouds! :)

So you if you have many clouds in your life,
there will be rainbows.

People you meet who are nice, kind to you when you are
in a cloud (in a difficult situation) those people are your rainbows.
Value them.
And make yourself so strong, wise, kind that you can be a rainbow
in someone else's cloud! :D

Something I worked on! :)

I thank you God for this amazing day!

I thank you God for this amazing day!
For the leaping amazing spirits of the trees
and a blue true dreams of the sky.
And of everything that is natural and infinite! :)

Beautiful lines! :)

नाभाचा भरोसा जसा,

तसा हा दिलासा तुझा,

तरी एकदा सांग ना 

आहेस ना?!

कधी शारदा तू, कधी लक्षुमि तू,

कधी भाविनी, वा रागिणी,

सहस्त्रावधी सूर्य झुकतात जेथे,

स्वयंभू अशी दिव्य सौदामिनी,

तुझ्यावाचूनी शुन्य अवघे चराचर,

अशी सर्वव्यापी तुझी चेतना,

तुझी थोरवी काय वर्णेल कोणी,

तुला द्न्यात उमलयच्या वेदना

Use your heart!

When you handle yourself, use your head!
When you handle others, use your heart!

Poem I wrote after reading the book Anandi Gopal! :)

स्तब्ध धरेचे निवांत अंगण
अलगद वारा स्पर्शुनि जातो
कणकणातून होते रिंगण
रंग ताम्बडा नभी सांडतो

निळ्या नभाची अफाट मखमल
मातीला मग भुलवुनी जाते,
धूसर, इवल्या, रुक्ष कणातुन,
ताम्बुस ओले स्वप्न जन्मते

- निर्झरा

Anadi Gopal is a dream conceived and
fulfilled out of all odds and in a difficult time!

Waata Waata Waata Ga | Anandi Gopal | Lalit Prabhakar & Bhagyashree Mili...

I had written a poem after I read Anandi Gopal! Will share the poem sometime!

I love this sweet song! :)

I am the Rose!

And when the thorns pierced her,
and the pain was excruciating,
at one decisive moment,
she made her mind to not give in.

Lifted herself gently and
carefully above all the spines,
and whispered to herself
"I am still a delicate, tender, fragrant flower!
I am the Rose!"

- Nirzara

Since then this magnificent flower
has climbed her way above the thorns,
is been sitting on the top,
holding herself high in the wind  :)

One of the poems from Marathi Little Women!

भर भर वरती फेस उसळतो
खळखळ हसते साबणपाणी
धूणी धुते मी  लख्ख पांढरी 
आणीक गाते मजेत गाणी

चुबकुन पिळुन घड्या घालूनी
हळूच टाकते तारेवरती
मजेत झूलती कपडे सुकति 
ऊन तळपते वारे फिरती

मनामनांवर कपड्यांऐशी
धूळ साठते, डागाही पडती
कसे उरावे कलंक परी ते
निळ्या नभातील तेजापुढती

उद्योगी रत असता मानव
शोकाला न च मिळतो थारा
पहले फूलवती हसून तयाला
आणि उजळती लख्ख धारा

डोके करूदे विचार आणिक,
सूखदुःखाने हृदय भरावे
एक मागणे देवाजवळी
हातानी पण काम करावे :)

Jo writes this poem one day...when she feeling depressed.
Her father has fallen ill on the warfront and her mother has gone
to look after him! She misses her parents and happy days spent with them.

But after all decides to shake all the dullness off, while washing the clothes
and writes this rather quirky poem :)

About how like clothes human minds get stained and dull too....
but the gloominess does not stand a chance in front of the
bright sunlight and the clear blue sky.

when a person keeps himself or herself busy in some or the other work,
there is no time to ponder upon the tragedies of this life.
And then the mind blooms like a flower and the sun illuminates the being!

She almost prays than wishes, that let the mind be engaged
with productive thoughts!
and may it be filled with joys and sorrows of everyday life.
But O'Lord these two hands of mine, may they always be engrossed in working!

So very well translated by my dearest Shanta Shelke :)

This book is filled with such beautiful poems! and I have them by heart (most of them)
will post some more in coming days!

A good poem for me right now!
For past few days I am not finding the pace with which
I usually work. Feeling a lethargy all day!
Not been able to focus....but I must gear up!

So thought of writing the blog today...
hope this writing will help me clear my mind
and bring up the much needed enthusiasm to finish the deadlines!

More to come...until I feel better!

LITTLE WOMEN Trailer (2019)

Can't wait for this!

I read Little Women right before my 10th exams and could not put it down until
I was finished. I read the Marathi translation by the great Shanta Shelke.
And I fell in love with the March sisters and Laurie :)

I remember in one of the major interviews in my life I was asked
'what would be your dream project?'
and I had replied to illustrate Little women!

Someday would it not be great if I got to illustrate some edition!
Just the cover is fine too :)
It really would be a dream come true!
But until then waiting for this great looking movie! :)

A place within yourself!

There is a place in you that you should keep inviolate, pristine, clean!
So nobody has the right to treat you badly!
Because that is the place you go to when you meet God!

And that learn to say NO when its a 'NO'!
Because that place has to remain clean, a place within yourself!

When someone comes with a bad message or invasive language to you,
you should be able to say
"Not me you know! Do you not know I am a child of God!?"
Build that courage. Learn to be assertive and firm!

Have faith!

Copywriting or poetry?!

Food should be good!
People should dance!
Strawberries should sing,

Good bread makes a sandwich,

Good soil makes a salad,

lettuce should be dirty!

(salad) Dressing clean!

Sweet should never be fake,

Manners never minded

Debates should be healthy,

Pacts buried.

Forks on the left, knives on the right

Hands should be used regardless!

Bellies should be rubbed!

tables should be full!

and good food should be good for you!

We are not saying these are rules you should live by

But its a good place to start!

Had written this down the first time watched this ad..

Copywriting can work magic!

Planning to illustrate this sometime!

Music of the Heart | ‘Discipline’ (HD) - Meryl Streep, Angela Bassett | ...

Music of Heart! :)

This wonderful film based on a true story.
As I said some movies stay with us forever..
First I had shared 'Fly Away Home!' this is the second one
that I absolutely cherish! :)

'She gave them a gift they could never imagine,
They gave system a fight it could never forget!'

Inspiring! :)

Hoping this is on Netflix! :)
