I Fear ‘Nothing’




Imagination Garima Malik, Blog, Blogging, Writer, Photography, Quotes, Halloween
Eloping Imagination
Make a cat roar, jump on the clouds, sleep on million candies, own a 'Genie' and keep make wishes, live on trees like nomads, play with unicorns,  live a heroic  life (S for Superman)... Hey! Do you say “Not possible!!”? Then my friend, you have underestimated the power of imagination!!
 Yes, it’s one of the most impressive strength of human mind. By annexes of imagination you live your dreams for few seconds… impossible becomes possible in our custard of thoughts…it lifts the wings of hopes and pushes harmless dreams to surface. I just love imagining, or say dreaming, another synonym for imagination… it adds creative blends to day to day life but there is other side of the coin, the other product of imagination “Fear”, not so adorable.

A Healthy Immune India


Kids love to play dirty. They smudge their hands with all sorts of colourful or say grey stuff they eye on, you make a move to stop them and they do it again and again. They like to explore everything in terms of taste, touch and weight. Remember the ‘Boo Boo’ adorable baby (I don’t remember his name, his booing act was sho cute that I refer him that way ;)) from movie ‘Baby’s day out’ who almost explored the whole city on knees and was so happy and lovable all the time. Till the end of film, he was one strong n healthy booming baby…

Dedicated To You Sir… Happy Birthday!


From where should I start and what should I write in your praise for one true legend you are. So enthusiastic and full of life and being one of the busiest actors at the age of 71. I can’t hold myself from wondering, from where do you get so much passion and inspiration? Leaving the age of retirement far behind, it seems you will redefine the age of retirement!! Wait, entertainment industry has no retirement age! Sic!

Teachers Open Doors


When you were kid who opened the world of art and music to you? Who familiarised you with numbers and poems? Who taught you to question and reason out? Well, those were our teachers and from the beginning of time when they were ‘Guru’(s) to the present modern time ‘Miss’  , ‘Ma’am’ and ‘Sir’ the world hasn’t been able to do away with them, as it’s only impossible!! 
In the words of William Butler Yeats, 
"Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire."

A good teacher educates us through experiences and stories and fables, torches path and enlightens. Such teachers are angles in disguise of parents, friends, brothers, sisters and of course our very own ‘Life’.

I Am the Half Population


I am killed before I could take birth
I am abandoned left to rot after birth
I have been waiting for the same Love
Struggling for all I am worth


Let me come into this world
I have purpose and dream of my own
I promise I will not let you down
I have the right talent, I can make you proud

In name of dowry I am sold
What to wear and hide I am recursively told
Pointing fingers still rest upon me
What have I done wrong, I feel so cold!

I am mistreated, abused every second minute
My face is burnt in the agony of smashed ego
I have 'No' right to say 'No'
I know you can't hear me mourn?

I am affectionate as your mother
I am the praying for your health as wife
I am the half population
I ask for respect and compassion

What If You are Stung by a Bee ?



Recently I  learnt the hard way that the "Sweet" honey collecting bees are dread painful....!!! I was stung badly by this buzzing bee....  I hate you all now :( 

Bees and wasps inject venom by stinging.  The stinger is at times left in the skin and then it hurts to the core. Venom causes temporary pain and swelling. Occasionally, victim produces fatal allergic reaction. Info might be useful, though I wish you never encounter or experience such horrific incident!! Trust me!

Symptoms

Ø Pain, redness, itchiness and swelling at the spot.
Ø Indications of severe reaction include:
§  Swelling around eyes and lips
§  Difficulty in breathing or wheezing
§  Abdominal pain
§  Rapid drop in blood pressure(shock)

Do’s

Ø If stinger present at spot, just scrape it out of the skin
Ø Only after 30 min the severity of reaction can be determined, so observe the victim/or yourself for seriousness
Ø Activate emergency medical response
ØApply ammonia to the site if available

Don’ts


Ø Do not remove stinger with plucker or finger nails. This might break stinger, leading to spreading of venom further.

Once Prized, Now Past



Since time immemorial, new inventions have always added more feathers to the man’s creativity hat. From the moment someone bashed a rock on the ground to make the first sharp-edged tool, to the development of Mars rovers and the Internet, several key advancements stand out as particularly revolutionary. With time old inventions get replaced with new ones, so we could embrace a better lifestyle. Below are few such inventions which were once favored that have now disappeared or have become less significant. 


Transistor Radio

Those from the 1950s will speak fondly of a world that revolved around this gadget it brought news from corners of the world to door step. Easily available source of information and melody. The device with small knob navigated through frequency chart, is now replaced by smarter and smaller gadgets. Let gone transistor radio, these days listening to radio isn’t preferred. Radio allows a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to enjoy same joke at same time, yet it remains lonesome (Yea yea.. TV does it too :P) However it will be part of lovely memories for many people. 

I have memories with this kind. As a kid when I would visit my Grandparents I would be found impatiently adjusting the knob to catch the frequency with least of hush hosh shush mosquito noise... Guess what? I would end up listening to hush hush noise more than music!!! Sigh! 


Roll Films

Remember when photography wasn’t easy, the roll films were pushed forward and more pressure was applied to button to capture precious moments. Roll films were bought one day before festival or family vacation and guarded from excited children so that they didn’t click and finish a roll capable of 30 odd photos. Poses and lights were timed perfect. Rolls were printed and those photos decorated albums and walls. Each photo had different story to tell. (We all know the importance of memories  :P) Now when photography is digitalis-ed, pics are clicked in hundreds and viewed immediately, the importance of clicks has reduced, or increased is still a question ?

Oh My! How many times I have spoiled the rolls due to sunlight exposure? Just once. My family didn't own a camera before the digital world, but yea have used one such kind. I had wasted the complete roll of my neighbour's and later died in embarrassment of spoiling loads of memories of 'them'. So, it was decide cameras were for camera mans or adults. I would rather pose and smile in front of them, until digital world proved to be a boon ;)

Pager



Small portable gadget. Easy to use and flaunt. Their life in market was short lived as when the concept of SMS came they were forgotten and their advertisements were soon replaced by mobile phones.





Did not have the luxury to use these, but yes miss you pagers! Sic!


Telegraph

Its uniqueness was in precise writing and the essential news which it carried. It connected the country for 163 long years. Telegraph offices in big cities were located in beautiful heritage buildings. There were standard greeting telegrams and codes used to convey particular message. The telegram nostalgia will continue gripping those for whom news and message from loved ones came in form of telegram.

For those born in 90's have only done telegram writing to pass in school exams, like me, yayyy :D!! Imagine, if we were leaving in a world where texting would cost based on number of words or rather letters in it, I wonder how many of us would still use Messengers??!! Weird thought right?



Floppy Discs


The slide shows of school project and important browsed files in it, remind of difficult times when data storage and maintenance was not easy. Teachers even taught in schools the ways of adorning house after their failure with wall hangings.The last floppy disk rolled off the presses in 2011 with enough space to hold half a song. It is survived by its offspring, the USB drive.



For some reason floppy discs remind one of assignments in juniors, don’t they? I even remember my primary school computer teacher had made a pen stand out of wasted floppy drives. Creative! I loved pulling the one side of it and admiring it black smooth shine circular thing inside :)! Memories!



Gramophone

Picture a gramophone and you would picture it with black and white background. Thanks to our Indian Cinema which introduced this device to young children who weren’t born in decades ago. Any period film without the glimpse of gramophone is incomplete. It's mere presence vindicates the time-frame of the movies, isn't it? You will find it in almost all the movies of Guru Dutt. Nowadays it decorates the home of antique lovers and museums as now listening to music is possible anywhere and everywhere.

I would love to have a gramophone miniature or antique at one corner of my future home!I have never witnessed these thingies playing music in real though! For the love of music and our history! Peace \/ !!



Typewriters






The punching of keys sound is the signature sound of typewriters, which is somewhat similar to sound of marching soldiers. Now found in few government offices, the tiresome typewriter typing will soon lose its touch with reality with time changing and advancing so fast. But, the QWERTY key pattern will live long!





Oh Yes!! I have had a pleasure of using these, courtesy my Dad's office! The noisy key punches, the slide after hitting each row ! You are not missed!



Cassette Tapes


Cassette tapes remind of the time when knowing the lyrics of song would mean over using those three buttons – Play, Pause, and Rewind. These are even used for making lamp shades or wall hangings creatively as no one plays these any more. Still half of the households have cassettes in their possession which simply tell the love for them.  Giving away the possession which once used to be prized isn’t easy. 

I have fond memories, playing these in tape recorders (if I am not wrong) on both sides or ends. Quite an impressive piece of technology of storing music on such fine sheets of plastic . And later after getting wasted, DIY projects for fun and decor! Miss you!

Journey Tale



I have been troubling my mom by asking her to switch either lights or fans on and off from past three hours. The moody nature is to be blamed as at times I want to read or write and next moment I want to doze off. My hands won’t reach switches.
I am travelling from Pune to Bangalore by train with my mother. I can see her enjoying ice-cream from my upper seat. This is a bye-bye sort of journey as we are leaving Pune to settle in Bangalore.

Beautiful Face of the World…..



“Fairy Tales”, think of it and the notion is sure to land you into fantasy world of magic and mirror, the land of fairies and witches, royal romance, talking chipmunks and yes! End(s) decorated with happy endings!!

************

“Have a look, isn’t this dress lovely?” queried my friend sticking an oyster green one piece in front, looking into the mirror, in her quest for enchanting gorgeous look.

“This evening you are breaking many hearts!!” I reported smiling.

It struck me then (and it wasn’t the first time) - we are so much worried about our looks, using so many resources to get an “Awww” look. Everyone wants to wear ‘beautiful’ or ‘handsome’.

After toddling days, child is occupied with moral tales which teach the young heart, how to dream sweet with values of truth and kindness, but It also familiarises them to the world of fancy and beauty loving.

Passionate True Indian……

One evening a boy of three went out for a walk with his father. An elderly man had joined them on their way. Walking past green fields and enjoying cool evening breeze, the two adults were lost in conversation. Not hearing the footsteps of the boy, the father looked back. The boy was far behind and on a fertile soil seemed to be planting something.

On questioning he replied with spark in his eyes,” Look, father, I shall grow guns all over the field". Both the elders were struck with wonder at the little boy's words.

This innocent boy who at such young age had faith that guns would grow in the field grew up to become Bhagat Singh.

*********************************



Today in the morning while having my breakfast I tuned on my TV to one news channel (I am supposed to work on my poor GK!!!). There was news of IPL 6 , they were flashing again and again that how there would be such an  interesting match between Mumbai Indians and Pune Warriors today. Being least bothered about the IPL (you hear each mouth speaking about it) I started to read the news bulletins at the bottom of screen (you see I was determined!!). There was this news which held my attention. It was about 13th April 1919. I went in flashback mode and realised with heavy heart - On that day the gruesome act of inhumanity, the Jallianwala Massacre had taken place, taking more than 400 lives, injuring thousands in Amritsar, Punjab. It’s been 94 years, but still it gives goose bumps on imagining on how 90 British army soldiers led by Brigadier Reginald Dyer, opened fire on an unarmed gathering of men, women and children. The firing had lasted for 10 to 15 minutes, until they ran out of ammunition (May the history is never repeated).



One of the blacker than the blackest day of Indian history, it reminds us of the time when Bharat was not a free country, there was injustice, social backwardness, poor state of peasants and whole country was bleeding with the rule of foreigners (we must thank God we are born in much better times) . Many revolutionists fought for freeing mother India from the evil hands and one of the prominent freedom fighters was Sardar Bhagat Singh. He belonged to a family of freedom fighters, patriotism flowed in his veins. Jallianwala bagh (park) tragedy took seething toll on young Bhagat Singh, it is said that he collected soil from the park, sanctified by the blood of the innocent and kept it as a memento for life (I was told by my grandmother). After this incident this revolutionary was born who at the age of 23 became a symbol of bravery and ideology. 


I decided to write about Veer Bhagat as a tribute to those died.

Sardar Bhagat Singh has rightfully been given the title of Shaheed-E-Azam (The king of martyrs). He was a great thinker, revolutionist, scholar, ideologist, writer, visionary, journalist, reader and a true countryman. We all know the story of how he fought for freedom of our country. Thanks to our great Indian cinema, over the years we have seen several filmmakers who have portrayed the life of Bhagat Singh in films. To be exact 7 movies have been made, famous actors of each generation have lived his life on screen (what a proud feeling!!). We can see his influence was not just limited only to the Indian independence movement, but Bollywood as well!

At his time he was first among those revolutionaries who idealised Indian society post-independence.  Until then revolutionaries had no conception of post-independence society. Their immediate goal was destruction of the British Empire and they had no inclination to work out a political alternative. Bhagat Singh, because of his interest in studying and his keen sense of history gave revolutionary movement a goal beyond the elimination of the British.

A clarity of vision and determination of purpose distinguished Bhagat Singh from other leaders of the National Movement. He emerged as the only alternative to Gandhi and the Indian National Congress, especially for the youth).Who at the time of imprisonment fought for the basic right of political prisoners, went for hunger strike for almost 45 days with his fellow mates. Person of great determination and patriotism, he became youth icon, moved the foundations of British Empire.  After his victory he got the right of reading & writing, he maintained a note book of 404 pages and kept notes & quotes from the books he read.

To describe Bhagat Singh’s sacrifices in one line I can write- he gave up studies (At the age of thirteen, Bhagat Singh left school and joined the freedom movement), marriage (his only bride was death), family (left them for serving the wounded Bharat Mata and for the future generations), religion (he called himself an Atheist) and life for the brighter future of our country (I believe in descriptive line!!).

Bhagat Singh was known for his appreciation of martyrdom. His mentor as a young boy was Kartar Singh Sarabha (another patriotic Punjabi). Singh is himself considered a martyr for acting to avenge the death of Lala Lajpat Rai, also considered a martyr. In the leaflet he threw in the Central Assembly on 9 April 1929, he stated that it is easy to kill individuals but you cannot kill the ideas. Great empires crumbled while the ideas survived. After engaging in studies on the Russian Revolution, he wanted to die so that his death would inspire the youth of India which in turn will unite them to fight the British Empire. Such was his passion.

As a youth there is so much we can learn from this eminent, rock strong personality, one of them is the “Passion for country”.

While in prison, Bhagat Singh and two others had written a letter to the Viceroy asking him to treat them as prisoners of war and hence to execute them by firing squad and not by hanging. Prannath Mehta, Bhagat Singh's friend, visited him in the jail on March 20, four days before his execution, with a draft letter for clemency, but he declined to sign it. On March 23rd, 1931 he left us with further responsibilities in our hands.

I salute to Shaheed Bhagat Singh and feel proud that am also born out of the same soil. I even marvel at great mother Vidyavati, who gave our country real son who still enlightens and teaches us to love and die for the country and so much more…..

May "Long Live the Revolution!" ("Inquilab Zindabad!") started by him.
