Podcast - Bus Kahani Hai

Image
T his post is dedicated to introducing my Podcast - Bus Kahani Hai . I have made this podcast with an intention to connect to people through my voice. This is not only a means of sharing my views and stories with the world but is also a medium to talk to myself.   A podcast is a good medium to connect with people as it does not demand the attention of your eyes; all it wants from you is to lend your ears. Often when you are commuting on a bus or in a metro, listening to a podcast can be a great idea: All you need is an earphone and bingo! My Podcast - Bus Kahani Hai has a Trailer as an introduction and episodes that are published from time to time. All the episodes so far have been archived below with dedicated links for one-click listening. Also, it is my humble request to leave your valuable feedback and comments on this post or on my  Instagram page   https://www.instagram.com/neoimaginations/     Twitter handle  Bus Kahani Hai              Latest Episodes Episode 4 : Khidki Ke Baa

Chole Bature Fiasco - A Laughing Riot

Image
               My wife is a super specialist Chole Bature maker. Her art is so much recognized mutually that almost 100 % of our guest had Chole-Bature for dinner invites. If they are non-vegetarians they get to taste my dam biriyani else its a pure chole bature affair.                                                                              It was one fine afternoon when she decided to make Chole-Bature for lunch. I was excited as i usually get for anything that undergoes a deep frying ceremony. I love to hog on fried foods. So all excited i returned from office for lunch. As i grabbed on the very first Batura that came to my plate i was bit confused if it was really a batura. It almost felt like i was eating pappad with chole. My crispy tear of batura was a matter of avoiding eye contacts. I consoled myself that the next batura would be absolutely fine but it came out to be even a better pappad. Finally my dear wife could not hold her patience and agreed that something w

GWALIOR SHILP MELA 2013

Image
                                            It was my rapacious desire to present Gwalior Shilp Mela through my lens. As am counting my fag end days  in Gwalior clicking this vibrant,colorful and photogenic fair was simply inevitable. I chose slanting sun (post afternoon hrs) to visit this historical mela. The feel of this shilp mela is great and you can find a variety of handicrafts made through generations displayed for sale and exhibition. Artist from all over the country participate in  Shilp Mela to make it one of the most sought after places in Gwalior. I personally feel it is poorly promoted by Madhya Pradesh Tourism. It deserves much better crowds and visitors. So am doing my bit to respect the art and skill of those million people who work hard all over the years to bring this spectacular show before us. The photographs are my own hard clicked snaps to give you an eagle eye view of the fair. I hope the peep through my lens would excite you enough to make it a trip to Gwalio

Fatherhood - Knock-knock knocking at the door.

Image
Me and my better half waiting for the lab test report. The medico finally returns with a smile and says " Congratulations ".  That one word sends me to catch 22 situation. Within seconds the patch files of fatherhood  is automatically updated in me to suit the situation. We were going gaga...                       At the outset of being a father !  Aah ! What a feeling ? How will i ever be able to express the virgin feeling of what it feels like to be knowing that you are going to be a father in few months time. Its eternal. I never imagined the vicarious joy of people becoming father until the very knock came at my door. You cannot ever associate and relate to this feeling until you become one. You need time to take such big shot news where you and your wife are the lead protagonist. A biological credential to your union. A child in the making that would bear resemblance of both of you. Its euphoric even to imagine that creature, you are going to create with God contri

Why only Dil se ? When it is dearer than life !

  Your  ' Dil Se' relationship needs a touch of intellect to sustain realities against fantasies….                                                                                                                   Altercations are a part of every relationship. No strong our weak relationship can propel on the sea of time without those frequent fights and blues. It’s nothing to worry about if you know how to handle them or better said use them. We use people, time, money and what not? Why not to use those meaningful fights?  An open threat to any worth relationship. Those arguments that stands strong and erect after slaying so many relationships as a result. What went wrong with those fairy tale adorable love stories in spite of true love and passion? I think they were not dealt with mind and intellect; just heart was overburdened. Nothing works alone here. At the end of the day it’s a duet world. Nothing works alone here.  Remember my theory of ‘awesome twosom
