Madhubala

High in Life yet a tragic turn changes everything:

I wonder, why a few people who have reached heights in life have a tragic fall in life. I wanna talk about a few.

Madhubala:

Mumtaz Jahan Begum Dehlavi, well known to us as Madhubala. A girl who lived for just 36years (14 th February 1933 – 23 February 1969) has entered the movie industry at the age of nine. Mumtaz’s first movie Basant (1942) was a box-office success.

Actress Devika Rani was impressed by her performances and potential and advised her to assume the name Madhubala, meaning "a woman of honey"

Her first break came when producer Kidar Sharma cast her opposite Raj Kapoor in Neel Kamal (1947). She was fourteen when she was given a lead role. The film was not a commercial success, but her performance was received well.

During the next two years, she blossomed into a captivating beauty. After her lead role in Bombay Talkies production Mahal in 1949, Madhubala attained immense popularity. Though she was only 16 at the time, her subtle and skilful performance, upstaged her seasoned co-star Ashok Kumar. The movie and the song Aayega Aanewala in it heralded the arrival of two new superstars: Madhubala and playback singer Lata Mangeshkar.

Madhubala was in a relationship with Dilip kumar for a real long time. They worked together in a lot movies. Their on screen and off screen chemistry was often spoken by media. They both broke up abruptly, leaving everyone holding their own stories.

When rediff news spoke to her sister Madhur Bhushan, her account of the story was:

The reason Madhubala broke up with Dilip Kumar was B R Chopra's film Naya Daur, not my father. Madhubala had shot a part of the film when the makers decided to go for an outdoor shoot to Gwalior. The place was known for dacoits, so my father asked them to change the location. They disagreed because they wanted a hilly terrain. So my father asked her to quit the film. He was ready to pay the deficit. Chopra asked Dilip Kumar for help. Dilipsaab and Madhubala were engaged then. Dilipsaab tried to mediate but Madhubala refused to disobey her father. Chopra's production filed a case against her, which went on for a year. But this did not spoil their relationship. Dilipsaab told her to forget movies and get married to him. She said she would marry him, provided he apologized to her father. He refused, so Madhubala left him. That one 'sorry' could have changed her life. Then she met Kishore kumar then he was a playback singer and married. He divorced and married madhubala.

Madhubala was suffering  from heart problem i.e she had a hole in her heart in the year 1950 she was known to it. Which she never wanted to reveal it in the industry. But when she was shooting for “Bhaut din huwe” everybody got to know about her sufferings. Another turn in life!

She passed away at the age of 36. She had a short life but for what she has done she lives even today in our minds and many other hearts. Class apart she was! 

Her work was amazing in a lot movies. And, music is such a must in every post of mine

·       Pyar kiya tho darna kya

·       Aacha jee main haari

·       Thandi hawa kaali ghata aa hi gayi jhoomke

·       Aaiye meherbaan baithiye jaan-e-jaan 

Was listening to the above tracks while writing! :)

A few more celebs I shall keep you all posted in the coming few blogs. Madhubala reached professional heights but didn't get what she loved!

P.S- Being professionally high doesn’t mean you don’t need anything else in life. Everybody craves for “LOVE”

Dreams and bags :):)

Does that interest you???

But for me its weird too many bags..Uff..

These days when I sleep I dream a lot. Usually I don’t remember my dreams, but these days its different. I shall try telling those dreams coz its strange but somewhere it relates. :) Everybody in those dreams are happy and sad about something.. Keep reading further..

Ok I'm just drinking water wait a sec..:) Here I go..:):)

Day 1: A girl who just entered her place wearing a Black bag she was sleek.

Something was different about her. She entered, switched on the music system and was listening to 80's music and a smile over.. Looking out and feeling the breeze around sitting near her window. She was thinking when will her maid come n when will she get her work done.

Then suddenly she thinks what if d maid doesn’t come.. Her maid comes n is doing her work. That lady smiling over the legend songs is waiting for her husband to come home to have dinner together..

She is so bound by the society and is worried n tensed about a lot of stuff..

*Ting Ting*Her husband comes home and with warm smile all her worries hide back. She smiles and ends her day.:) My dream ends here on day one.

Day 2: A girl with a group friends sitting at a coffee shop wearing an Orange bag. All girls going blah blah blah n eee eee eee.:):) Obviously its girls.. That girl smiling over troubling her friends coz they talking about their wedding issues. 

 
This girl is somewhere scared of commitments and is wondering what’s in store. Then suddenly before even anyone could analyse she smiles and just sings the song playing in d background Kuch kuch hota hain. :) 

She is happy about a life being free, she being connected to people she likes.. She is smiling n so happy throughout still something bothers her was tough to get that.. My dream ends there on day two.

Day 3 : A girl sitting with her colleagues for lunch time wearing a freaky Green bag is so not liking people whom she is working with, so she feels her Ipod is a better company n starts listening to heavy metal songs. She is thinking Ive done designing not to work here with these people who work looking at others talent but not using their creativity..

But is happy that she is working in her hometown as she has been away for years..

She wants to work using her creativity shez happy about her first pay n that shez close to family n friends, but not satisfied somewhere.. I’ve seen her work in my dream its beyond appreciation. Such people should be hired by the best. My dream ends there on day three.

I get up in the morning n start to wonder why am I dreaming sooo much..asked myself "Neend churayi teri kisne Anki kisne" Then I understood I’ve become crazy..

Day 4: A girl with Pink bag sitting in the classroom. Is thinking about her family coz they had a few changes in the routine (sister got married or brother out of town) and is trying to adapt to the changes back home. Is texting her friends in other classes. 

Too many projects to be handled..Too many different people to be handled.. She has a few friends to hang out and is happy about that. But is worried on losing people close to her. My dream ends there on day four.

Day 5: A huge office a girl working under her dad. Are you wondering which color bag? Hold on lemme think.. Yeah! got it Brown bag.:):) This girl is talented and loves her dad, she is enjoying her work under him. 

But somewhere she has various choices and tastes of her own which she is ready to ignore for a while to keep up to her dad. She sits there listening to her fav tracks and telling her self."......." I don remember coz filmy types pe background pe songs didn't get me clear what she said..:) My dream ends there on day five.

Day 6: A girl with a Yellow bag is sitting in the car with her guy, and is fighting over something. She says its important to her and he says whatever.. just like any other couple. The girl starts to worry and gets angry. She steps down d car n enters somewhere. 

Then the dream blanked out. Suddnely I see that girl on the ramp like a showstopper! Woow! As she gets done with her show she and her guy settle the issue. She gets back home and has a fight. She gets into the room crying and telling her friends she will make it big One day.. Her friends assuring her 'yes you will'. She falls asleep. My dream ends on day six.

Day 7: A girl is getting out of her place to meet her friends. She is engaged and she looked happy and worried about it. And was very upset about the fact she is leaving back everyone and moving to a new city after wedding. By the way she was wearing a White bag..:)

Day 8: I slept properly.. And then started to think about.

Why was I dreaming only about women? Then it struck my mind coz I was acting crazy like 'women are best women are best'.. All the characters in my dreams were women coz I was just thinking about them. But my first thought shouldn’t be 'why women'? It simply means what I told in the start - everyone are Happy and upset about something.

It teaches me something that everyone has worries its not just we trying to deal with. All we need is a reason to be happy and someone to rely on..:) That makes life easier like all above dreams of mine projected. 

And, I could relate myself to a lot many ladies above. Can you relate yourself somewhere??

Make sure u have someone to rely on, make sure you are that someone for anyone to rely on..:)

P.S- Women, bags and dreams are always unique..:) Hard to choose on one..:)

Who will protect me?

Let me think.

Firstly Happy New Year everybody :):) Hope this year brings in happiness everywhere and that everyone remains safe :)

Oh I forgot! Now this reminds me that girls are not protected. Are you wondering why? Don’t!

Respected DGP, Mr. Dinesh Reddy states this in reference to the growing number of rapes - Women ARE responsible! "Fashionable women get raped"

Well! Come on girls don’t you agree with him, huh? Bloody hell! He is in a post wherein he talks and states anything he wishes to, and we expect to get justice out of people like him.

Sir, you are in a respected post and we trust and rely on you for justice. And this is what women get to hear? I wonder which era you belong to, Sir.

Or are men small babies that they see girls being fashionable and can’t resist? No? Then what?

Reportedly, a 40-year-old man attempted to rape a six year old girl in Vizag. The girl MUST have dressed provocatively at an age of 6. Parkwood International School’s director is alleged to have taken physical advantage of more than one of his students. Uniform is DEFINITELY inappropriate dressing, I suppose. - in references to the articles I read.

It has become a problem if a girl walks alone in the streets, a Maths lecturer rapes his student, auto driver rapes a small kid who is going to school, school principal calls students and misbehaves with girls and those little ones don’t even know what their respected Principal is doing! Pathetic! And all the blame goes to the attire of girls? This is such a disgrace to hear it from DGP.

"We can control faction crimes and murders by rowdy elements but not family disputes and sexual jealousy murders"

Well is this what you said while taking your oath, Sir? I wonder. I agree few girls have become fashionable to an extent where the society at times finds offensive, but please, that will never mean that girls step out giving license to every guy to do what they wish. Do we have to take permission from the Government to wear what we like, and if found inappropriate then they won’t protect you, is it Sir? So does that mean if I wear Indian dresses and cover myself from head to toe I am totally protected? We never know!

I request, please stop this when you are unable to provide safety. Admit it or don’t talk, but please don’t pass such statements. Such statements are insulting men as well. You are taking every guy under your perception.

"DISGRACE" is the word! I really want to pass this message to everyone out there. A girl is being used and a girl is being blamed. Ridiculous! We don’t expect this. Please learn to respect women or what will you answer to your mom, sister, wife or daughter? Please think.

I am sorry if I have hurt anyone.

P.S.: Avoid "nuts" coz you are what you eat!

Shopaholic!

Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping.  ~Bo Derek

Now, how many of you'll saw Confessions Of Shopaholic?

Oooh its totally this way: Women + Shopping = Happiness :)

Now it is so obvious for anyone to have a happy family, and the lady back at home needs to be happy to make things look good. And women like too many things, specially shopping. It is quite obvious that men have to bear their expenses. Married women are so lucky in this aspect :P  Your husbands don’t have a choice but to get you all that you demand.

Girls in relationship are not less lucky, but they unfortunately have chances of getting dumped by their guys. 

When it comes to girls who are single, "Oh all the pity to their dads (including my dad)"

I of course love shopping. :) It makes me feel really good just like I mentioned previously about the movie. I feel the mannequins in the stores out there are calling me :D Ankitha, look at me, look at me! Now, I being so nice and generous just can’t avoid them. So shopping is something I love to do throughout the day and night :)

And, a couple of things I have known during my years of shopping experience:

Lesson 1: Shop only within the credit you have.

Lesson 2: You should be very good to the mirrors of the trail room.

Shopping with my siblings makes me feel perfect. It has always been an awesome and a memorable experience.

We get in together to the store and pick up stuff, then go to try them out. But the mirrors over there make things so eaiser by making everything look so good! But it so happens with me most of the time. The day I’m broke I find so much of stuff around, and even when my pockets are full, I find brilliant stuff.

Girls' best friend is a Diamond, right?

But I feel Clothes, shoes, bags, accessories and of late gadgets as well are best friends of girls. :p Oh! How can I forget their make up sets?

Shopping is so kind, as it helps people so much to spend their money :P

Universal facts :

• Girls can never get bored of shopping.
• It makes them explore themselves.
• When anyone is low it changes their mood..
• It makes people get addictive

The only problem of being a shopaholic:

• It makes people spend money without a thought.

But, nothing makes me feel that shopping can create problems. :)

Now after all this, tell me will you think even once before shopping? No no, don’t think, instead shop as much as you want but be in control before you totally run out of your pockets.

News: I came across a few people in my life who don’t like shopping. Now, tell me how can one resist shopping? Just look at all the gorgeous things I have in this post. Aww!

Even after looking at these images, don’t you feel like shopping?

Well shopping for me is:

• A big time stress buster not necessary each time. Whenever I step out, I shop. :)
• Happiness of buying what I like.
• As mentioned above, shopping with people of my choice :)
• With shopping comes a little of hunger too :P
• Then one cold coffee to go with, it makes my day all perfect.

P.S: Spread your legs only till you can, i.e, shop only with the credit you have. :)

Happy shopping folks!

C'ya

Ankitha! :)
