Song and video Review : Pashmina || Fitoor Movie

The song is a romantic ballad between Noor(Aditya Roy Kapoor) and Firdaus(Katrina Kaif).

The song is composed and written by Amit Trivedi and you can thank Swanand  Kirkire for the beautiful lyrics.

The song begins with Katrina  uncovering a mirror reflecting muscular Aditya and then both cakewalk to the dance floor.

The background of the song is full of portrays,chandeliers and clay models all of which is used to give the song vintage look.

Don't forget the curtains which are moving in the direction of overwhelming breeze in  a closed room!

The song graduates from daylight to the beauty of darkness with chandeliers lit all around.

Aditya and Katrina glide smoothly through the song justifying various moods inherent to the melody.

The dance is intense but the only one thing that really goes missing for me is the 'Eye contact' which sees the coming together of two souls as one;eye contact is something which strikes a chord instantly with the audience and puts the song straight into their heart.

The song is mesmerizing to the extent that you are in a fix whether to admire the Amit Trivedi's composition, his voice or to be awestruck by the picturesque of the song.

You will realize that Katrina has added another feather to her cap by taking her dancing skills to another level when she goes solo.She is flawless.

Aditya has proved to be spectacular in his attempt to portray himself as the smitten lover.

Overall this romantic ballad is a break from the conventional style of romancing.

Here's to Pashmina...

                         

Compare,Should You?

Never ever in your life,should you compare yourself, your circumstances or your life with others.

You do not know their journey and you do not know your journey either . 

Comparison does nothing but prevents you from seeing the blessing this life is 

and 

the blessing you are to the world. 

So let go and breathe.

Attachment

When the people you are attached to, walk away and move on,two things that hurt the most are:

One-Things will never be the same again.

Two - Memories of how beautiful the things were in the past.

Attachment hurts, they say.

Yes indeed it does!

Embers Of Love

She was in pain..she knew something was hurting right at the bottom of her heart ,

at the center and at the top of it;

Basically whole of her heart..

And she, she often wondered what?

One day, she looked straight in the mirror, looked herself in the eye and said to herself, "Admit it babes!! 

You can't forget it, you never did 

Embers of love that never died 

..maybe they never will."

             The Lone Warrior Tales 

Paradoxes

They were not dating each other yet it felt like they did.

There were never going to be together yet it seemed they were meant to be.

It was too right to be wrong and too wrong to be right. 

Their relation was so full of paradoxes yet it had elements of a happily ever after.

Seeing them together felt like love yet the nearer you go the more you would see that love for them.was such a far fetched reality.

Love Blossom

"Will you b mine?"he asked.

She looked at the ground she was coy, could hear her heartbeats pumping louder and louder..finally she mustered the courage, held her breath and looked up right in his eyes and whispered "but I love my parents more"..those words and that day was the day he thought to himself someday will be my day,someday will be a yes - he could see the blush on her face so he knew that  someday love will find a way- and that's what he loves about her -Honesty -the courage to speak the truth, the truth that can win hearts n how!!

That's where their love story began.

The love story that's not just extraordinary but has elements of unprecedented  perfection! 

His love for her was obvious just by the way he looked at her..The way he was concerned for her..He could do anything to steal some moments with her.

But destiny had its own plan to reward him, though, the plan was sketched across time and distance.His work took him round the world.

They say sometimes distance makes your love stronger and that's what happened!

One September evening, that happened to be her birthday, she could see his number flashing on her mobile screen.

Delighted as she was,his voice melted her,her voice choked with happiness, over brimming emotions and the louder heartbeats returned in a flash!

She lived her moment to the fullest but gave him a cold shoulder.

Even when a lot became obvious, she chose to stay in the denial mode.

Then, fate took a giant leap when she went to "MoodI Mumbai"-the larger than life fest that has struck the splint of many love stories. 

But in all these years time opened new horizons for both of them.While he went on to become the youngest sensation in Bollywood music industry,she was pursuing her bachelors of engineering!

The only thing that remained unperturbed was his love for her.

 Two different worlds,two different individuals and yet when their worlds met love rained from heaven!!

This time finally cupid struck!!The blush,the butterflies in the stomach,hours of thinking,the thumping heartbeats,roller coaster of emotions,the shimmering eyes ,her smile that was cute already now was a melange of love,coy and glory!!

One could read her love for him right  on her face .

His voice,his words,translated into big "oh! so bright and lively"  smile that stretched across her adorable  face. 

His love  took her by storm and swept her off her feet.

SHE HAD FALLEN IN LOVE. ..

..FIRST LOVE ❤ 

Not aware when or how, but she whispered to herself often what he longed to hear for 11 long years.

His reward was ready to be delivered at the most unexpected time.

His patience paid off n love had arrived! 

'Hope'-keeping the embers alive for 11 years!!

Let it rain! 

Let it rain- love !!

Heavily,deeply and  insane!!

Let it rain -love❤

When silence makes noise

Why is he behaving with me this way?

What wrong have I done?

Whats's my fault??

He behaves so nicely with everybody,helps everybody ,but me.

I feel so bad.

These questions have been few of the most difficult questions for me to answer.

These are not the questions of a heart broken lover but rather the questions of a depressed employee.

Yes,you read it right!

I have been hearing her say and ask these questions to me for so long now.

Every time she asks me these questions there are only two things I ask her to do :

One: Please take a stand for yourself.

Second:Please stay strong.

The girl I am talking about is my best friend of almost 7 years.

She joined a software company in the year 2015, in the Silicon Valley of India,Bangalore.

When she joined the company she was so happy, full of hopes and aspirations ,the excitement of earning her first salary beamed through her eyes.

But within one month into her job she realized things going otherwise.

Now after almost six months into her job, her condition is worse than ever before.

The kind of mental and emotional battle she is going through is really a tough fight and she is trying to be her strongest.

Yet listening to her pain every other day,makes me feel helpless enough for being unable to help her in any possible way.

The kind of unprofessional-ism she is facing at her workplace:

1.Her superiors treating her badly(not talking to her properly,insulting her,secluding her from all kinds of activities going on in the office,not helping her understand her work)

2. She's loaded with lots of work with absolutely no guidance or help provided to her by her superiors.

3.They give her strict deadlines to complete her task ,though this is common with IT Industry but when she gets stuck with a code or is unable to understand how to go about it and she approaches the project lead for help, she's answered with cold looks,rude ,rash behavior and an order summoning her to do it all by herself.

I really wonder how can a person, so unprofessional in behavior towards the new entrants in the company, be  made a project lead?

4.This instance really shocked me.

When my best friend did the programming and modifications as expected by the client and asked the project lead if she can mail it to the client for the project to move ahead,the project lead stopped her from doing so and  by midnight he mailed the client claiming all the work being done by him.

I would really like to ask these questions to any virtuoso of the IT industry:

1. Is this the right thing to do with a new hardworking joiner to a company?

2. Maybe something like company politics exists, but what would you gain by taking away the rights and efforts of a new joiner and claiming them to be yours ?(You would already be earning so much more than this new girl,Shame on you man!)

3.What makes a project lead seclude a new joiner from the rest of the people in the team,not helping the joiner,demotivating her and trying her patience and absolutely for no reason ??

4.What makes you behave in such an impassive way that she is succumbing to never ending stress and depression?

5.My friend cries herself to sleep every other night.

She can't leave her job and she thinks speaking about this to any superior can cost her, her job, which by the way,may stand true.

6.She sits extremely quite all day long struggling to get through the code, correcting the errors, trying to survive without any support from you project lead and you, all you can do is manipulate her hard work to earn appreciation from your superiors and may be to add a little more weight to your already heavy paychecks? 

7.Is this the case of discrimination  against a North Indian in South?

BIG Shame on you man!

These incidents have made my friend lost all her interest in life and she is far from being happy.

She claims to have lost all happiness in the process of satisfying her project lead's never ending rudeness at work towards her.

No employee would expect a project lead to become her best friend and render privileges to a new joiner such as relaxation in deadlines.

No! no one is asking for that but simple professionalism and good work ethics is what is expected of you.

But Shame on you man because for namesake you are the project lead but in reality such an "Apathetic Human" at heart.!

She would be silent now and she may continue to be silent even tomorrow,(which I don't want her to be,though) but remember 

when silence makes noise,your ears won't be able to bear the unpleasant surprise!

I stand by her. Do you?
