Bonalu Festival

Today I am sharing my memories of Bonalu festival. A whole new experience for me. A local annual festival here in Sec'bad. A festival for thanksgiving to goddess "MAHAKALI".

Silver Boy : a road side actor



I was returning home that night, and taxi stopped far away from apartment. There was huge crowd on road for Bonalu festival celebration, a local festival in rainy season. I was finding my way towards home. But there was something on that roadside surrounded by a small crowd. I was curious to see what's that so I breached in. It was a boy sitting on the ground; wearing a 'langot'. Silver boy, I called. He was painted silver himself. His langot was silver painted and a silver spectacle without glasses. He was really funny and most entertaining road side actor, I've ever met. I clicked a photograph of him and flash capture all his attention towards me. Then he was his best for my clicks. After 2-3 clicks he moved his empty hand towards me to get paid for his poses. I paid him and then move in huge crowd to be a part of the festival.

Those Eyes : statue or real



The reason behind capturing this photo is those eyes, beautiful eyes of that girl. I was looking at her and couldn't recognize that is it real human or it's only a statue. And then her eyes turned towards me, and I kept looking at her for a while. I mean wow, it was only her eyes showing all emotion without any expression and movement on the face. Then i realize that I can capture those in my camera and keep them always with me. I just fell in love on those eyes. There was so much innocence, love and kindness in those tired eyes.

More.....





It's hard to hear something else when there's beat. Also its hard to click when you are thinking for dancing on those beats.



Selfie Moment:


Well if you are alone in this type of crowd, you are at your own. It's not that hard but you have to wait sometime for the right selfie and ofcourse don't forget to thank to the person or persons with whom you are clicking yourself.

Yaad Hai wo School

Wo school ki ghanti bhejte hi jab neend khulti thi......
aur prayer khatam hone pe hi apni entry hoti thi.

Late hone par jab class k liye daudte hue principal pakad lete the, 
aur har roz naye bahane banane me hum mahir hote the.

Yaad hai, lunch break mein kisi ek k tiffin mein khana kuch zyada hi mazedar hota tha.

Break ke baad wala lectures to neend mein hi nikal jate the, 
hosh to tab aata tha jab teacher chauk maar ke jagate the, 
aur hum ustad headache ka bahana bana ke fir so jate the. 

Jab teacher line se viva lena start karte the, 
aur hum apne number pe aane wale question ka answer ratna start karte the.

Yaad hai jab last lecture mein jab teacher nahi hote the,
aur hum chhutti se 15 min. pehle saari masti band karke bhagne ke liye ready hote the.

School se ghar aane tak match ki puri planning ho jati thi,
aur ghar aake dress change karna sabse bada time waste hota tha.

Jab zindagi mein home-work se badi koi tension nahi hoti thi. 
Dil mein bas school se chhutti marne ki khwahish hoti thi.

Yaad hai jab ek lambi chhutti ke baad school mein bilkul mann nahi lagta tha.

Aaj usi school life mein fir se jane ka mann karta hai.

Yaad hai hume wo school, wo home-work, wo khaali lecture me ki mastiyan.... 
Wo sab kuch yaad hai hume...........

WO..... Humara Ghar !!

Ghar humara ek wo ghar h jahan Jane k liye tickets, calendar pe mahino pehle lag jata hai. Har ek din ki shuruat us calendar pe ek aur din cross karke k hoti hai..

Ghar humara ek wo ghar h jahan papa office bunk karke humko station pe receive karne aate hain, aur darwaze pe maa bell bajne ka wait karti h.

Wo ghar jahan shaam hote hi dost bulate hain "saale kuch mahine aur late aa jata, kisne bulaya tujhe"

Ghar humara wo ghar jahan agle hi din se saare rishteydar dinner pe bulate hain. Aur sabse pehle yahi puchhte hain "kitne din k liye aaya h" aur reply sunte hi taane sun ne padte hain.

Ghar humara wo ghar jahan mammy se baatein karte karte aadhi raat ho jati h, aur maa k late night jagne par tokne k baad puri raat maa ki god me nikal jati hai.

Ghar humara wo ghar jahan subah hote hi breakfast k liye papa zabardasti jaga dete hain, aur sab saath baith k subah ki chaay enjoy karte hain, jahan maa lunch aur dinner ki planning karti hain aur papa career k liye guidelines dete hain par hum nalayako ka saara dhyan to lunch aur dinner ki planning me hi hota hai.

Ghar jahan lunch k baad sab shaam ki chaay tak cards khelne me busy rehte hain, aur purani yaadon ko taza karne me koi kasar nahi chhodte.

Wo ghar jahan bhai behno k sath dinner karte karte baaton me kahin kho jate hain, aur khane pe dhyan tab jata hai jab mammy aawaz lagati hain "nalayako bas karo aata khatam ho gya".

Wo ghar hi hai humara jab wapis jate waqt dadi chupke se 500 ka note deti hain, aur roti maa ko chup karate karate apne aansu aajate hain.
Jab station per jaldi jaldi me papa k pair chhuna bhool jate hain, aur fir sab kuch chhod kar papa se gale milne chal padte hain.

Ghar humara wo ghar jaha se wapis aate hi dobara jane ki planning fir shuru ho jati hai, wohi humara ghar jahan jane craze kabhi kam nhi hota. WO.... HUMARA GHAR !!

HOW IT FEELS LIKE – AFTER DEATH

Let's think about it. How anyone will feel after he's dead ? I mean before death when someone gonna die, feels that how beautiful the world is, nice people he met, great friends he has.

Now it's all come to an end !!!!

Wait END ?

Is that really end ? Is that how someone feels like when he's about to die ?
Hold on ! Take a deep breath; Think about it.

We all are taught that each living creature or thing has a particular "Soul". The soul which is a part of the Almighty, the God, the Allah; whatever we like to call. The soul is like a drop of the ocean God. That's why there's a god in all of us. It was also taught that the soul changes body when someone dies. If we take that as correct. Suppose it is correct because till now that‟s all we know about it.

What we think, what we feel, what we do; It's could be related to the soul. The body – soul combination is creative. So when one body-soul gonna end, when this soul is about to change the body; Is this combination won't show any creativity, feeling or something else ?

May be !!!! or May be Not !!!!

We can stop here with no feeling or creativity or something else.
But I would like to move further. Let's choose option-2 : "May be Not". 
It feels something, after all it's us.

We have seen a lot of scenes in movies showing someone is dying. Let's remember some of the scenes. When it comes to an end of journey of this body or an interval for a soul; each person behaves differently after all each one of us is different.

Let's get back to the scenes. Some people think about what we have done wrong in past and ask for sorry, some wants to stay in their loved one's arms, some doesn't even know what the hell is going on and in a bit of moment everything is gone.

Now remodel every scene & choose the common thing that in the end a person died. What is after that scene ends…….. BLANCK ??? Just dark screen, and that's where we stop thinking & move to next scene or movie.

Now reverse your thinking reel. For the real case; when someone is dead. Is blank screen be same for that dead person ?

Relate it with what we were taught. Soul travels. Is that same travel what we do? When we go out to some other places, we make friend, get know new people, new things, culture, we enjoy, we also got angry some times, sometimes we don't like few things or few places. And that's all happens in our life too. Isn't it?
After traveling to some place, we came back home. Get busy in daily life and after some time we plan again for travel to some other place.

Hold On Now ! Did you notice something ?

Each time when we travel, we face the same things what we face in our usual life. I mean not exactly same, but on the same theme like making friends, likes, dislikes, love, anger etc.

Is that same what our soul does ? Travel ?

This is all similar with lives & what happen we travel. Except one thing; we came back home after journey and if our soul follow the same then it will also go to HOME !

Is that where our answer ? when soul leaves a body means ends it's journey & go back to home. When soul leaves a body means ends it's journey & go back to HOME.

Where the HOME is, What is it; May be we will think about it later. 
Now we are stuck at how it feels when soul is going back to HOME.

Is that same feeling what we feel, when we are coming back from a journey ?
Possibly Yes, or Not ?

We all agree about what happen during journey time, happens in our life too so 'possibly yes' makes some sort of sense. But why NOT ?

What does that makes sense ? Now soul is not feeling what it feels when it in
body ?

Instead of getting angry think about coming back of soul. When it happens ?

Don't we know about it, actually we do. 
We know that just after death soul doesn't leave body immediately. It takes time. That's what the time it's going back to HOME.

Now just after death when soul is still in body. What is it doing there ?
Packing Luggage ? 
May be !!

Well it's not our concern for now. Our concern is what it's feeling ! Because what it will feel, we feel. As because body & soul combination is still there.

At last we came to the final thing “the feeling”. What are we feeling in an unconscious body where soul is about to go.

The nightmare ! Remember !! the nightmare which makes you feel like you are unconscious, you tried to wake up, you know it's not real, still you are afraid, your pillow is wet due to sweating ! Compare the situation with condition of soul.

No...No !!! wait don't think about that horrible nightmare. I am talking about comparing your unconscious situation due to nightmare with the unconscious body with soul.

Now the soul knows the reality that; this journey is complete. 
It's calling to self WAKE-UP!! WAKE-UP!! The soul itself doesn't belong here, like we doesn't belong to the nightmare world. 

Actually by any-means we belong to nightmare world and we might be like to discuss that later. 
But here we know the reality that it wasn't real so does the soul knows that it's not the world where it's gonna stay.

As what happen to ourselves when we wake up from that nightmare. It's completely different world from nightmare.
And for soul when it wake up ??

In a complete different world, relaxing at HOME !!
And now again similar situation for soul.

The next night we close our eyes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
"" NIGHTMARE ""
As we open eyes in the nightmare, the soul open eyes in a new WOMB !!
