हलकी ठंडी फुहार और साथ में  शाम की  विस्तृत सूर्य किरण  भारी पत्तो का धरा से  उठने का प्रयास   समय से मैंने पुछा  क्या ये शाम बाँध  लूँ मैं ? समय बोला  दिए की लौ की तरह जलते  रहोगे  तोह यह शाम तुम्हारी है  सूरज को रूठ्कर न जाने दोगे तो  ये शाम तुम्हारी है  पक्षियों को चहचहाने दोगे तो  यह शाम तुम्हारी है  मुझे कभी कभी मुड़कर देख  लोगे तो ये शाम तुम्हारी हैं

Early morning near St Columba's College at Hazaribagh it is a common sight to find group of men with cycle eating their breakfast. The breakfast is normally prepared at there home in around 1 am. All it would contain is some rotis, some onion pieces and some potato bhujiya. This is something they gorge upon after 3 to four hours of arduous journey carrying around 2 tonnes of coal in their cycle. All this effort fetches them around 100 to 150 rupeee. This coal is high in demand for domestic consumption as most of the household in Hazaribagh still prefer (rather can afford) coal as the fuel. Almost all the dhabas also use coal to prepare the local cuisines and delights. Definitely , illegal mining, carrying coal on cycle for the distance of 30 to 40 km is one of the livelihoods means and profession being carried from generation to generation  since coal was discovered in this mineral rich area. This time at home, I had a chance to talk to these carriers and a long con...

I had entered my teens when I heard of a man replacing Sanjay Manjrekar in test cricket after latter was injured in an English summer of 1996. We did not have cable connection then  and I would hear the commentary on our radio set amidst angry faces of my mom and didi as it avoided them to hear their pleasing late night radio shows. I remember one Jack Russel who used to take maximum amount of time to come to crease, all geared up (this man was actually once give "time out" of not coming to crease within two minutes after a batsman has been dismissed). England though had not so favourable start eventually did well and posted a competitive score of 300 plus. 300 was going to be a mammoth task as first test was won easily by England. That test started a new beginning.At number 3 batted a man who was returning after a gap of around 4 years and was already known as the prince. This man had left the tour mid way in australia in 1992 as he did not want to carry drinks. A...

उसने कहा मरने के बाद मेरी लाश को जलाना मत ना ही उसे दफनाना बस लटका देना उलटा कर के उसे किसी पेड़ से ताकि तब तो दुनिया सीधी  देख सकूँ (an after thought.....)

There are times when you watch a movie, or listen to a piece, or read a book and it goes away. Suddenly you think of something and the tune of that song you once (over)heard comes back, the lines of the book revive and the movie comes back to you and you like it more than you liked it for first  time. Eternal.... is one such movie...  Most of these things we like tell us we have everything we need within our self. This movie tell us that we need each other , even when together disrupts happiness... One thing that movie does better than other art form for normal people like me is that it captures dream logic more clearly. Imagining the imagery is quite possible through movies and very few movies do it perfectly as does Eternal... The concept of movie was plain and simple.
