Today's topic is Railway Station.

"You know the actor John Garfield? In one movie he walks up to this train station, the ticket booth, and the guy says, 'Yes, where are you going?' And he says, 'I want a ticket to nowhere.' I thought: that's it. The freedom to do that. I want a ticket to nowhere!~ Wayne Shorter

the simple leader

got my hands on a brown paper.totally loved drawing on it :D

'Jai Jawan Jai Kisan'









“My patriotism is subservient to my religion.  I cling to India like a child to a mother’s breast, because I feel that she gives me the spiritual nourishment I need.  She has the environment that responds to my highest aspiration.’

“That loyalty to the country comes ahead of all other loyalties.  And this is an absolute loyalty, since one cannot weight it in terms of what one receives.”
            Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri

Today's topic is Lal Bahadur Shastri.

“We want freedom for our country, but not at the expense or exploitation of others, not us to degrade other countries…I want the freedom of my country so that other countries may learn something from my free country so that the resources of my country might be utilized for the benefit of mankind.

The preservation of freedom, is not the task of soldiers alone. The whole nation has to be strong. We all have to work in our respective spheres with the same dedication, the same zeal and the same determination which inspired and motivated the warrior on the battle front. And this has to be shown not by mere words, but by actual deeds”.

~ Lal Bahadur Shastri

Give?

Inspired by Rumi & Kahlil Gibran!

Give me some sunshine



Pure as the air,gentle as a passing breeze,a selfless act goes so unnoticed.But,the wind carried pollens of love that life could not survive without.

BOSS

Sivaji the BOSS

Nadigar Thilagam

I had the privilege of seeing this great Actor at work when he came to Udupi during the mid 70s ( when my Dad was posted there at that time) for the shooting of his Tamil Film "Thyagam" which was a remake of Amanush. He had to enact a scene in which one of the characters died. He was heartily laughing a few seconds before the take and the change of expression on seeing a dead body was really awesome.Unfortunately this scene was cut in the movie!!

326_Sivaji Ganesan

Today's topic is Sivaji Ganesan.

Sivaji Ganesan, towards his final days, was asked about his plans, and this is what he had to say:
"Plans are for businessmen. I am an actor. I will always remain an actor. What was my ambition when I started of is the same now. I still want to be a good actor!"

More on Sivaji HERE.
