Why??

"It hurts when you miss someone but it feel good to know you are getting missed"  --- A.N.  aka Rakesh

Brother,every time you followed and admired your elders,
Then why left us to carry your weight on our shoulders?

You had the great sportsman spirit and loved cricket,
Then why the hell so early you had lost your wicket?

What about the promises that were made by you?
Who will now make those dreams come true?

Had you sang,danced and played, at last to fly?
And made us remember all of them and cry....

You had made us proud many a time
We hadn't clapped, was that our crime?

You're gone,even now i am not able to believe,
Wished if it had been again one of your mischieve

Just pray you come again, argue with me and make a call,
And say "whatever Bhaiyya, between you and me, i am tall!!"

You might be happy on getting missed,
You will come back,till last time i wished....


--- In remembrance of my brother A.N. aka Rakesh.

Irony

Some or the other time we face some irony in our life...
Here i am going to describe one such incident with my bestest friend

When I receive your phone,
And speak in decent tone.
you say to me "Ears pinching, don’t shout.”,
"Your voice is like head of marching scout."
What else I can do ,I start to whisper,
like with the gentle breeze, leaves wither.
On that u say “be a little loud.”,
I guess u r in between a crowd.
Now I get into dilemma what tone to use,
be loud or soft, I totally get confuse.
While I’m in thinking process, there comes a sound,
"Where r u? Speak something",& I become dumb found.
Hearing this when I say "Look, how u shouted, can you rate?"
Voice comes as "Who me? How can I? My voice is so delicate!!".
On this I pull my hair , like a mad,
Thinking even my voice is not so bad.
Finally I find a calm place to talk,
where while murmuring I can also walk.
From my tone one can say as if I m in some FEAR,
But I’ve no issues, till it’s for friend who's too DEAR.

Udaan...

Although i am not a movie critic , and even if i would have been who might have cared about my thoughts over a movie.
But here i can't resist myself writing upon a movie which really touched me and i m sure like me, many of us can relate ourselves with the movie.

The basic idea in movie is how the hell lot of areas and hobbies where a child think of going one step further more and take it seriously as their career driven substance is easily wiped away by parents sometime due to their ignorance or having a traditional thought of making their child either an engineer or Doctor.

Again at some point of our life we feel disconnected from our parents and develop a lot of misunderstandings between us which i admit shown in a bit different way in movie,which might not be common to general,though idea remains the same.

Here the main protagonist is a boy who had good writing skills and want to pursue it as his career, but thrown to Engineering college by his father(who himself is much frustrate being alone in life) as an outrage of the scandal done by him in his school even after requesting time and again for letting him be a writer which his father consider as a cheap job , that will not even fetch him earn his bread & butter.

I guess there are many of us who had their own field of creativity in them and they have even carved a peculiar niche of theirs while being in school but couldn't seriously convert it to their career due to similar situations and finally we get concerted to engineers or something else.

As story continues the boy couldn't concentrate on his engineering and continues with his passion till he get failed in engineering. In between he tried many times to persuade his father to listen to his poetry and praise him like others do, but instead of encouraging he call it a scrap.Many of us might have gone through such phase with parents. But surely not gone through this phase of daring act to follow our dream instead of imposed one as after the parental wish and pressure we became a kind of scapegoat and sacrifice our interest and skill.
We don't dare like the boy who continued his interest rather than imposed academics on him. Although what i describe as coward act is right in one way that with this we can at least make our future somewhere  instead of falling in between the two stools.

Which finally happened to the boy. After being failed and getting reasons behind it, his father burnt his notebook where he used to write. And asked him to just work for him in his factory. He had none other option and had to work like a worker.
In his extreme painful life his local and school friends gave him a sense of relief. Even his step brother whom he used to hate earlier became his companion. And this is the age when parental thought seems to be imposing on us and the plans , dreams that we weave with our friends become our reality. At this child age we find some gap between us and parents,which is what i am sure many  of has experienced.

Finally the boy run away from home to find his own destination , his own life , his own big leap(Udaan) trying to give wing to his dream!!

P.S. The recent success and awards to UDAAN at all Indian film festivals really proves how nice the movie is and people are able to connect with it. 
Sharing some pictures and a film fest brochure of it:
