~ Just for (O)ur eyes ~

Normally I don’t like classical songs & dances; though it is great art, I personally feel it is very slow from the beginning to the end. I prefer something that makes me boogie. After seeing these pictures in flickr; I am struck!! Some thing attracted me….

May be she is waiting for some one ....



Below, She is a seven year old girl , look at the way she attracts with her eyes …..

Look at her eyes , how sharp & powerfull !! "You don't take a photograph, you make it " , Isn't it true ? May be this is Nrityopahaaram (an offering of dance and mime) !!

En Kanavu / My Dream / Mera Sapna

Moderately too much to myself, but then convinced uncertainty happens in everyone’s life. Me being working at W**** Technologies accidentally I get a chance to act in a movie under the direction of Tamil Movies famous Director Shankar. Movie was about the life of a Software Engineer and his duty towards Family, Love, Sciety. Not sure with the female lead in the movie.

So before allotting days for the call sheet , I approached my PL & PM for permission for 2-3 months , being this happening first time in W**** Technologies the discussion went very serious with TL. Permission denied from the top, me then reporting that bad news to Director Shankar & Team. He finds out an alternative, to hunt the movie at Bangalore & Surrounding during the evening time to night as much as possible, under low lighting and at dark.

So I myself scheduled accordingly, so every evening 5’o clock, I get a car to pick me up at Electronic City. Make up in the car itself. Some how I managed to work at office and act in the movie concurrently.

One particular scene was shot at Marathalli Bridge - Bangalore, the scene was me (Hero) driving the bike over the bridge. That shot went for the several takes, since the Director Shankar known for his perfection in the film Industry.

That’s it .... !! Movie Done.

I found myself put down on my bed. Yes this was an outlandish dream On May 13, 2006 – Saturday night I had . Now i feel very happy, Since I was the Hero of the movie at least in my dreams ….

“Earlier Madiwala (Bangalore) Just had 5 – 10 shops but now it is drastic" was the proud information given by a old lady who got married reallocated to Bangalore at the age of 16 ( 10th STD students age ), residing at Bangalore for the past 47 years with her three daughters. Her husband had passed away long back and she is managing the road side Idlli shop for the past 20 years. Two of her daughters got settled at Tumkur ( Karnataka). Currently she is staying with her third daughter, her son-in-law & grand child. Also heard from her that her son-in-law (3 of her daughter’s husband are ready to support for her living), her willingness was to earn her own bread. I could feel the emotion when she was telling me this with a low voice.

Her grand child (girl) supports her at Idlli shop during her leisure time of her studies. The Police men (helps her) by charging Rs.30/ day to skip the enquiry of the higher officials.

The conversation happened in an informal way, Reason for this blog is that chat with the old lady made me to think of widow’s life, if at she is job less and having children what will be her / their life?? Living?

Felt Miserable !!
