Kuch Kuch Hota Hai - An Inexplicable Bond!

10 years ago, big black eyes of a sweet & tender teen girl kept wandering here and there to catch a glimpses of RAHUL, ANJALI & TINA the minute she heard the lovely sounds of KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI. Today with a undying zeal in my heart I want to say - Kuch Kuch Hota Hai is an inevitable movie which is truly invincible. Yes! a movie I can never get bored of watching, a movie whose songs I just can't stop humming, a movie where I visited college of my dreams, a movie I knew will be remembered through the period of adolescence; a movie that will be treasured all my life for leaving an everlasting impression on my heart.

Who even had an hint that one day his name will be taken with the top most directors of this generation, when a 25 years old Karan Johar directed his first film Kuch Kuch Hota Hai. A film about Love & Friendship which made us understand what the journey of life is all about. A journey of a collegian who kept saying, "Hum ek baar jeete hain, ek baar marte hain, shaadi bhi ek baar hoti hain… aur pyaar bhi…sirf ek hi baar hota hai...baar baar nahin hota!" till he entered his adulthood & finally, got married the second time all over again. It's a story which will make you fall in love with your First Love again, again & again! A story that has taught me - Relations start with Friendship. This eternal flame of Friendship keeps on glowing with the time in every heart till it finds its eternal flame of Love the day the soulmates get unite.

Loitering in the corridors of my college I kept wondering - Does such Friendship exists? Can a boy & a girl can really be just real good friends? What if Friendship is taken over by Love? What if one fine day, one had to choose between Friendship & Love?... All sorts of weirdest & worst questions used to buzz on in my mind those days, which undoubtedly kept me aloof from the rest of the mingling young crowd. This sweet & tender teen girl with big black eyes, has now grown a bit wiser in thoughts but still is a teenager at heart. Today, I have dumped all these stupid queries in a dustbin, coz. I know that there is going to be special bond with every person l meet from now on, exactly as special as I have a Bond with Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, thatz rather Inexplicable. Get ready world, I am here to touch the sky of new horizons where I want to keep the Flame of Friendship & Love still burning with lot of eternity so that I can leave a mark on your minds & capture your hearts as magical spells of KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI have conquered my mind & heart.

Thatz the reason why my heart still wanders in search of some RAHUL & keeps on singing - Tum paas aaye, yun muskuraaye.♥.Tumne na jaane kya sapne dikhaaye.♥.Ab to mera dil jaage na sota hai.♥.Kya karoon haaye, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai! :)

A Truly Indelible Kahaani !

To begin with,am not an avid daily soap centric person.Infact, the only daily soap I watch with interest is Kumkum-Pyaara Sa Bandhan all thanks to my fanatism for Juhi Parmar in it.Inspite of not watching 'Kahaani' on a routine basis, there is something which has created an inbuilt relationship between me as a viewer and the show.A strange inexplicable....{well,rather explicable} bond links me to this show.Its the bond of childhood.

I remember watching Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki 8 years back on the 16th Of October,2000 sitting with my whole family near the old dabba or rather a laymen's TV set...and today after 8 years...The show is at the same place...still entertaining us.....while my life has gone under drastic changes.8 years back I wasnt the same Nitesh R Shahani that I am now.It was a cute 9 to 10 year lad watching Parvati enter the home by breaking the kalash{thats the most vivid memory I have of the show!} while its me now who's well, nearing my adulthood , that I still see the face of this bahu enchant the TV Screens!..What better achievement than this! The show undoubtedly belonged to Saakshi Tanwar.....She ruled the show...as the main protagonist Parvati Om Agarwal. I can assure you that it was Parvati's simplicity,cohesiveness and coexistance in her character that attracted the viewers to stick to their TV screens.Her persona was a paradigm of human emotions personified....Soo matured yet so innocent!...

I very well remember watching few such episodes from this show which have surely left an indelible mark on me as well as my thinking.Who can forget those glorious words remarked more than once on the show:"Jab tak sab kuch theek nahi ho jaata, Anth nahi hota" or even the elaborate sequences of surrender of Evil over Good.

As great philosophers say, "All good things must come to an end!" and so is this show but the mark that this show has left on its every viewer in past 8 years is not erasable.It will be a show that will be remembered whenever any actor of the show is in the spotlight..

Hats off to Kahaani....!:)

MuMBAi MeRi JaaN... SaPNo Ka SHeHeR! :)

A city that never sleeps, but dreams unlimited! This comes straight from the heart of a Mumbaikar - If you really want all your dreams to come true, you are most welcome in the arms of The City of Dreams - Aamchi Mumbai. Trouble, distraction, pain, agony, refreshment, enjoyment, frustration, stress, joy, sorrow, scandals, controversies, etc. are a part of your struggle that one has to face in their day-to-day life. Afterall, this struggle of life is the best challenge for yourself to come across and standup erect looking in front to shake hands with your destination against all odds. Mumbai acts as a bridge to minimise the gaps between ones dream and destiny.

Do you know what is your Destiny? Destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be awaited for, it is a thing to be achieved. Mumbai is a wonderland which ignites you to Dream as if you'll live forever & make you Live as if you'll die today. In this Mumbai Nagari, it's hard to find people whose hearts don't dream, rite from the slum dweller to affluent class... everyone are a big day-dreamers. These dreams turn into passion & this passion holds up the bottom of the universe and genius paints up its roof. If there were no eyes that dreamt, HE would have refrained from doing miracles in human lives.

Do you know what is a Miracle? If you really wish to do something from the bottom of your heart, then the whole universe gets together to make sure that you get whatever you desired. This state can be termed as 'MIRACLE'….becoz. Miracle doesn't happen for the things you are destined to be, but it does happen for the things you really want to be.

If you don't have a dream, how are you going to make a dream come true? Believe in your Dreams, they do cum true...kyunki - Papa kehte hain bada naam karega, Beta hamara aisa kaam karega.... Baithe hain milke sab yaar apne, Sabke dilon mein armaan yeh hai, Wo zindagi mein kal kya banega, Har ek nazar ka sapna yeh hai, Koi engineer ka kaam karega, Business mein koi apna naam karega... Magar yeh to koi na jaane Ki meri manzil hai kahan! :D
