Farooque Shaikh...

Farooque Shaikh

Very difficult to imagine this world without actor Farooque Shaikh. I was surprised at my own reaction when I heard the sad news of his demise. Could n’t control my tears at all. Later was wondering to myself what was it that made me break down.

There was something about his films, his performance, his personality, the things and people associated with him, which made us feel relaxed about life in general. For me it was like…… if there are people like him in this world, the world is worth living in, that values still had some importance and you could still feel secure and happy in the thought that life is sunny and charming with people like him around….. people who are normal…. nothing extraordinary about them…. who too might be having a few negative shades in them (like the character he played in his film ‘katha’),yet .........the goodness in them is the driving force of their life.

And what a pairing it was……. Farooque and Dipti’s…. what chemistry… what warmth….. what purity….. what an equation they both shared!! I happened to watch some portion of their recent interview ……what bonding and what clear conscience came across of both personalities!

We need such people in this world of today who never compromise on their principles and who are happy in being themselves! This personal touch is what makes them different and alluring!

Farooqueji has left us all to embark on another journey.But  he has left for us the treasure of his film performances which will act as a balm whenever we need to gather ourselves and get up with a renewed strength when life throws a tough paper to solve every now and then!
May his next journey to the higher levels be as beautiful and may his family have the strength to go ahead in life with peace and with his memories as their guiding factor.

The path

The path trodden by many a souls since infinity, Seems full of trials,   a many. Yet it beckons me to move ahead, Leaving   the untold stories, unheard......unsaid.

Random thoughts during Lockdown 2020

Its more than a week since Lock-down 02.  People are finding ways to occupy their mind during the free time they have. Mind you, it seems easier said than done. The artistically inclined are shedding their inhibition and coming up with genuine art.   Some are watching their long list of movies - to watch, which they had prepared long back and promised to enjoy the same on weekends. Some are indulging in creating short cut recipes. Some are involving themselves with their kids’ various activities, be it their online studies, art, writing, painting, playing games, watching movies together etc. Some are reading books long left half read. Some are meditating. Some are into soul-searching. Some are still trying to come to terms with the Lock-down. The list of activities is long and never–ending. Guess I will require to create a separate post for it. Though today’s post is dedicated to the random activities which the writer was involved in during the last few d
