Ramzan Id/ Eid ul Fitar greetings

🌹

🪔 ,

April 11 .. birthday greetings to Ef Lyudmila RF Zueva .. and Ef Heena Maru .. 🙏🏻🚩 .. and may all the best be reserved for you .. love from the Ef's .. ❤️

An extended work out .. repeats, increases of weights , greater time walkabouts .. free arm and the physio to pull the body parts in all conceivable directions ..😁 .. hot showers, the IPL game , when the results are reaching tantalising ends .. and then ..

The mystery of the World Wars .. the building of the armouries .. the mindset of those that work to protect and fight .. the psychological studies of them that initiate such ..

Fascinating .. scary ..

Were then .. am now .. shall be later ..

And life shall move on .. the fears of the past remain fogged and buried .. for the todays, evident and present .. for the tomorrow, the anxiety for the progeny that shall face it .. in time ..

aaahhhhh .. too much philosophy .. this GEN Z shall have none of it .. for them .. Doris Day .. and 🎶 .. and 'que sera sera , whatever will be be will be .. the future's not ours to see .. QUE SERA SERA .. but the song shall ever remain a ???? question mark for the them of today ..

BUT ..

.. how time has kept us all in tune and line .. 1957 Sherwood , Nainital, School Play, Nikolai Gogol's 'The Government Inspector' , Danny Kaye the phenomenal talent, playing the Inspector .. and I use it on stage in Milman Hall for the Annual Concert, where I play the Mayor .. and during a rehearsal, class mate Chris Borthwick, who plays the Inspector suggests the famous line to be spoken at a particular scene - impromptu .. and the entire Hall comes down .. it was the most popular song of the World .. and gives me my best actor Cup - the Kendall Cup .. Geoffrey Kendall, who built the drama Company Shakespeareana, travelling all over the World with it .. came to put up the plays of Shakespeare in School .. asked me to play a part on one such day .. I did not coz' was prepping for my Finals Senior Cambridge Exam .. John Kurrien, classmate did it .. Shashi Kapoor married his daughter - Jennifer - who acted on stage with her Father, and where and when Shashi ji met her ..

GEN Z .. 🥹 !!

Alright then .. its 😴

Kapoor and Sons (2016) is literally one of the best bollywood movies ever made. It captures every indian household, every dynamic, mainly every feeling. I've watched this movie so many times, but everytime dadu ki bday party makes me happy from within, every time I find myself yearning for family moments like when it happens in the movie when shashi chachu's family comes, and the ending. Oh god, every time I crumble with the intensity with how the movie plays itself, how the characters are just too tired to play along with the life that's expected from them. In love with the brother dynamic, the mother son relationship, rahul's storyline, arjun's desperation, the mother (sunita's) helplessness. Ugh.

I can literally go on and on, write a thousands of words about this film. I just love it so so dearly.

[itsfookingloosah]

What is your pfp? i thought it was louis tomlinson but now im not sure

Lmao no its an old time Bollywood actor Shashi Kapoor (also known as loml). He worked in the 70's and 80's and was a literal angel both on screen and off.

Tribute 793.

Tribute 793 Paying homage to the multi-talented Manoj Kumar, a stalwart in the Indian Bolly wood film industry who, over four and a half decades, left an indelible mark as an actor, producer, and director. Renowned for his patriotic films infused with moral depth and action, Kumar collaborated with top actors like late Pran, Amitabh Bachchan, Shashi Kapoor, Zeenat Aman, Hema Malini, Prem Chopra, and Jaya Bachchan. Some of his memorable works include "Upkaar," "Purab aur Paschim," "Dus Numbri," "Shor," and "Roti Kapda Aur Makan," the latter two earning him directional awards. His films featured acclaimed cinematography by Reddy and music by Kalyanji Anandji and Laxmikant Pyarelal. Kumar's simplicity and soft-spoken demeanor endeared him to the film fraternity. Today, I am delighted to honor this cinematic luminary in my blog. Regards, K. Ragavan, 20-11-23. Until we meet again next week

Damn grill ty for the tag🥺 u too @suvarnarekha <3

16) the respect we give to people? I don’t know, I love the way we have the right blend of formality and casuality when calling strangers uncle/auntie when soeaking with them, or the way we casually teach children to have formal greetings when the western word has long since shed it.

17) back on my old fandom blog, I was mindlessly searching for tags such as Hindu and indian because I was half sure I will find misinfo about something (The farmer’s protest and Kashmir files were big bacjkthen) and @mirabelmadrigirl rb’d a post of mine regarding Kashmir Hindu Genocide, tagging it #desiblr. That was the beginning of my descend down the rabbit hole.

18) Akshay Kumar, Amitabh Bachhan, Shashi Kapoor, Kishore Kumar, and well, most of them actually :) Speaking of actresses, the first name that comes to mind is Katrina, because while I know she is not exceptional in any way but her being a part of lot of my favourite ventures has made me biased. Deepika, Madhubala, Parveen Babi and Smita Patil are love aswell.

19) Andaaz Apna Apna. Nothing exceptional, but you can get a refund from me if you don’t spill your guts out laughing.

20) Kadhi Chawal. The memory is kind of similar to the one I mentioned regarding the casettes and incense one: coming home in summer to find myself watching TV and eating my favourite dish. It had the right amount of spices and sweetness without any actual veggies in it or a runny oily broth, which is why it won from Rajma Chawal for me.

21) Can’t think of any right now but MSD: the untold story is one I watch everytime its on Tv

22) I don’t know about many Sarees but whats that bright one with a coloured and shiny blouse and a cummerband, the one which is all shiny and sparkly and makes u look like a princess? I think its either Kanchivaram aur Benarasi, but I’m not sure :/

23) Lehengas make me feel a whole another layer of Royal(ly ungraceful)

24) Ramayan by Valmiki, Ramcharitmanas by Goswami Tulsidas, Shreemad Bhagvad Geeta (recited by Shree Krishan and recorded by Ved Vyas via Shree Ganesh)

25) Uttar Kand (because that’s all it is to me, a myth)

26) Pooja and hymns and chanting the sacred name. Decorating yhe house at Diwali and wearing the beautiful dresses exclusive to us :’)

27) Bhabhiji Ghar par hai, Ishqbaaz (b4 it became shitty), Saraswatichandra(same as prev.), Ramayan, both mahabharats

28) haven’t watched any, idk why I do this but webseries aren’t my thang in general.

29) Imma be biased here and say the Shree Ram temple. Yes, the same one that hasn’t been made yet. But if we talking like the older ones I guess I’ll go with the Rameshwaram temple because of the pillar jilted verandas which give me a feeling of tranquility and Godliness.

30) Treta Yug— okay, I’ll stop being religious for a moment and say the Mauryan period and the Rajputana period ;-; of course I have a special place in heart for 2000s but that would not be too old now would it?

31) Given my Kshatria lineage I would most probably be a princess or a duchess equivalent. Either ways I get to read ancient scriptures, learn vedic math and science and holding a sword so yay :)

32) Goswami Tulsidas. His Chaupais bring tears to my eyes simply because ;-33)Summer, nothing better than pools and icecream

34) Japanese culture has felt sisterly to me. Their summer festival tends to remind me of the street fair we have every monsoon on our village peer shrines. Medivial Middle east, while the religions were infant has seemed cozy aswell. The picture of the manger always soothed me.

35) The one regarding how Holi originated in Vrindavan. Its a small telling but I love it<3

I think most of my moots have already done this so open tag :)

Creating Desi asks because I have nothing to do

1. What's your first language? Are you more comfortable in it than english ?

2. Which state are you from and do you like it ?

3. Favourite Indian city ?

4. A Indian language you don't speak but would like to learn?

5. Favourite Indian classical dance? and why?

6. Favourite holiday destination in India?

7. Favourite festival and why?

8. Favourite traditions (or superstition) and why?

9. Something that makes you glad you are Desi?

10. If you weren't born in desi countries which country would have been born in?

11. Have you ever thought of leaving this country?

12. Favourite Indian singer and song?

13. Favourite film from any language?

14. A core desi memory?

15. Favourite person from your extended family?

DAY 5519

Jalsa, Mumbai                Mar 27,  2023                Mon  11:58 PM

Birthday  EF - Ambar Nath Mukherjee .. Ef Pratik Vora .. Tuesday, 28 March.. all good wishes for this day and the well being of all from the Ef family ..

 🪔 .. March 28 ..  birthday wishes to Ef Ambar Nath Mukherjee from Dubai .. Ef Dr. Pratik Vora .. and Ef Sushmi Bhaduri from Kolkata .. love and 🙏🏻🚩

.. a quiet day of thoughts and verse .. of the multiple decisions to be taken and made .. nightmare for the Libran, who are astrologically challenged by the factor of making or taking decisions .. even ‘Ike’ Eisenhower , a Libran I am told, took quite a while before saying yes to the operations that marked D Day during the 2nd WW ..

we are in delightful and most supreme company .. 

but it needs to be agreed and admitted that management is a supreme art and one that the ‘moi’ has failed often enough for him to take an assist .. and the assist doth come in the form of the format of this great game the boxing of the kick .. which is very well when you watch , but in the ring it is just you and the other .. generally stronger and superior than yourself  ..

it is also well past the hour and the deliberations that have been practised for in the past few days has just flown out of the window .. the need to eat and sleep in time has defaulted tonight .. and for this there is only the ‘moi’ to blame ..

but .. the presence of the Ef in my life has eased the feelings of disappointment, with regard to management .. given the clarion call , several would readily come forward and  assist in the makings of a good manager or the special private assist .. of this I need not even consider .. it would be an honour anda delight to be in their company and see how they contribute to my living .. 

one day some day it shall happen .. 

dramatis personae .. yours truly in the  Sherwood magazine and the contribution from Ef of the winning of the Cup for best actor :

the Kendal Cup, for best Actor , Sherwood 1957 .. for Nikolai Gogol’s ‘Government Inspector�� , where I played the Mayor .. and where Ma and Babuji had come for the Founder’s Week to witness it .. at the shool hall .. Milman Hall .. 

Hollywood made a film of the play calling it Inspector General .. and Danny Kaye, an exceptional talent ,  played the main role .. 

Also then was announced a best actor for the Hindi play , a cup donated by Babuji .. calling it the Bachchan Paatr .. paatr is cup .. in Hindi .. the first of its kind in Sherwood .. the play was the ‘Bishop’s Candlesticks’ ..

Kendal Cup was donated by Geoffrey Kendal, the leader of the theatre group called the Shakespearana .. they played, the bard’s plays all over the country .. he was the Father of Jennifer Kendal , wife to Shashi Kapoor .. 

So much so long ago and so much in remembrance ..

My love and the night of good rest ..

Amitabh Bachchan

I just finished a giant piece from the 1972 film Siddhartha.

I absolutely can’t get enough of Simi Garewal’s small role in it. The scenes where they’re just walking around in decadent jewelry and the best threads and looking into each other’s eyes romantically against lush Indian backdrops... the aesthetique...!
