I WAS BORN AGAIN


femina

Born in a faraway small-town,
Nestled in between the hills,
Big city life we could only dream of,
As seen on T.V or movies.

How I wished, I could be the urban girl,
Confident, educated and socially aware,
Yes, we did go to school and studied too,
But still were engulfed in traditions and taboos.

I wanted to break away from it all,
Taste freedom, live my life independent,
But wrath of relatives, I was then subjugated.

Would I always live with my wings snapped?
Will I never breathe the life, I’ve dreamt?

One day finally, I got my guts gathered,
My life’s ambition, I boldly declared,
I don’t want to live a cocooned life,
Give me the blessing, I’ll struggle and survive.

With perseverance and determination,
I did, what I willed,
I was born again, my dreams fulfilled.

BIGG BOSS 18 - A REVIEW ( SO FAR )





Just after enjoying the gripping Bigg Boss OTT3 ( Ranvir Shorey ) season this year in June-July, Bigg Boss 18 - the grand TV version ~ is back with a bang with an interesting line up of contestants. I didn't used to be a Bigg Boss fan, and skipped most of its previous seasons baring a few; but, after the Siddharth Shukla season, I've been hooked, and how! Come October, my days n dates are booked n hooked with BB for the next 3-4 months.

First few days of Bigg Boss are always a bit confusing. All contestants are unknown ( atleast for me, who ain't much of a TV or movie person ) and chaotic; but as days go by you start noticing the participants more closely...based on their actions and reactions to various situations unfolding in the house/game. You instantly notice some more intently than the others. They've managed to grab your attention! You can also make out who is genuine or fake. You relate to the events happening organically as opposed to the artificially created ones. Some of the contestants, having watched previous seasons, come thoroughly rehearsed and prepared; and, you can make out if they are trying to copy others from previous successful seasons. I've seen many trying to copy a Siddharth Shukla or an Asim Riaz..esp the men; while in female, many are trying to ape a Shehnaz with her rural accent or trying to create a love angle like she had done. That was an epic un-xeroxable season.

Coming to the current season...I'm finding Avinash Mishra desperately trying to copy Asim. Same topless, showing muscles with the mike strap wrapped around both his shoulders from the back - so typical. Sure, he is generating content everyday, by being intentionally rebellious against the whole house, but its a tried and tested very rehearsed tactic, which even Abhisekh had tried to enact in the '17 season albeit unsuccessfully. I like Chum Darang, who is from Arunachal. Her reactions seemed pretty genuine without any filter. I find Chahat Pandey interesting too, although, she is trying to act all coy and desi at all times. Annoying is Shrutika, who is pure acting all the time. That act of over-friendly innocence with heavy tamil accent went for a toss suddenly, when she had some arguement with Alice Kaushik. There, she spoke quite maturedly and sternly; but, afterwards went back to her overacting self..which an audience can instantly make out. Must add she is quite cunning underneath that facade. I also like Karanveer Mehra, who is quite a badass! He pokes, nonchallantly, lol.

Vivian DSena may consider himself a heart throb...blah blah...with his all knowing attitude and deep drawling voice, but, I'm not liking him as such. His confrontations with Chahat are also made up intentionally from his side, just for footage it seems. Tajinder Singh Bagga....well, contrary to his real life reputation ~ who goes around slapping oppositions and creating a ruckus, has been quite 'thanda' in the house. ( I know him from IC370 days in orkut ). He and Muskaan...are they even in the show?

I found Gunratan ( or what was his name? the advocate...darn...who loves his wife Jayshree to death ) with his flashy colourful disco dresses and dialogues, quite cute actually - "hum dakoowon ke khandaan se hai". He seemed to have vanished. Daku ne kidnapped kar liya kya usko? Hema has been evicted...hmmm..she was boring anyways, so nice decision. The couple duo - Mind Coaches ( Arfeen Khan and Sara )...OMG! now thats one mind coach who slaps herself in national television, and has been acting all hyper since day one. She needs therapy man! How are you calming others if you slap yourself out of frustration. It is understood, this house can get on your nerves...what with low rations...mind games, competition etc...but a reputed mind coach acting up and losing grip on herself..not cool lady. So unexpected.
I've skipped mentioning few others as they are just 'noise' or part of the 'crowd' at this moment. Not worthy to get footage on my blog right now ;-)

Salman Khan making an appearance as Baba Siddique gets shot by allegedly Bishnoi connections. Lets see where it goes.

Rest..will post more as events unfold. Keep Watching this space....
