The Donkey Route..

 




So, I stumbled upon this movie called Dunki, where SRK's hair defies all logic—seriously, not a strand out of place, even after swimming underwater and braving Russian snowstorms. I'm convinced his hair has a secret contract with the wind.


This Dunki route they take to the UK is like a twisted, illegal rollercoaster. The quartet faces more hurdles than any obstacle course. And guess what? SRK's pastel kurtis and designer jacket emerge unscathed through all of it. Just like his shirt from his 'Tide washing powder advert! Forget survival skills; that man's clothes deserve their own superhero franchise.


Now, about the Dunki expenses—it's like trying to buy front-row seats to a Beyoncé concert. A quick Google search revealed it's around ₹10,0000 at least per person. I'm here wondering how they manage that without selling a kidney or something. Maybe they have Dunki discounts or loyalty cards?


The movie's conclusion is pure Bollywood drama. After enduring all those hardships, they decide to head back to India—but wait for it—in a deportation twist! Shahrukh Khan, the ever-fit hero, tries to pull off old-man acting. Let's just say it's a valiant effort, but I've seen better acting by him in other movies.


In real life, though, I've met an  electrician in the UK who took a similar route from India but settled in Italy  for a while.He learnt to speak Italian language ,sent his kids to an Italian school.After that the whole family walked through Italy , France and finally reached  UK .Now, he owns multiple houses, runs a successful business, and employs immigrants from places I thought were just Scrabble words.


Dunki may not be a blockbuster, but it got me thinking. Life's not about what you have; it's about doing the Macarena with what you've got. Most of us often get stuck in life's standard career pathways .But it is the daring ones that take the scenic , untrodden route towards earning a livelihood.

So here's to a weekend full of unexpected detours—stay safe, stay healthy, and may your hair defy the odds like SRK's!

_Starry Laughs_

  _Starry Laughs_ My cousin, her friend Veena, and I went on a hill station adventure that felt like a breath of fresh air, literally. Girivan, nestled in the Sahyadri ranges, proved to be a tranquil escape from the crowded chaos of other popular hill stations. Veena, our gracious host, led us to her farmhouse, and the journey up the windy and uphill roads was an experience in itself. Finally reaching her house was like stumbling upon a hidden gem—a classic Spanish villa with bold yellow walls bordered in deep red, standing proudly amid lush greenery. Veena's garden resembled a botanical wonderland, featuring an assortment of trees, from mangoes to bayleaf, palm to bananas. It was a paradise where guava, jaam, amla, peppercorn, and betel leaf creepers coexisted in harmony, creating a serene and zen-like atmosphere. Our taste buds were treated to a culinary spread by Veena's talented housekeeper. Rustic chicken gravy, sautéed dried fish (बोंबील), bhakri, and warm इंद्रायणी भ...

Vede Man

वाळूमध्ये वेडे मन शिंपले शोधत राहते  वाळूमध्ये वेडे मन शिंपले शोधत राहते,   कण्हेरी च्या फुलामध्ये गुलाब हुडकू लागते.  अंधाराला भ्यालीस तरी ठरशील तू भ्याड  अंधाराला भ्यालीस तरी ठरशील तू भ्याड  सोडू नकोस त्या विचाराना, मूल ते  चंचल अन द्वाड ! अनोळखी रस्ता, वाटा पाय  राहतात शोधत  अनोळखी रस्ता वाटा  पाय  राहतात शोधत पिसाट वारा मात्र  गुपित राहतो  सांगत.  मन काहीबाही जेव्हा, सांगू काही पाहत  मन काहीबाही जेव्हा सांगू काही पाहत  'गप काही बोलशील तर ' त्याला टाकते सांगून  ऐन हिवाळ्यात वसंताची ऊब शोधत राहते ऐन हिवाळ्यात वसंताची ऊब शोधत राहते किती हि  रोखा वेड मन   एकटेच गात राहत ! कितीहि  रोखा वेड मन   एकटेच  गात राहत ! 10.2.23 मनीषा पुरंदरे

आता कोनाचो नंबर!!

  Panchak movie is nothing but a hilarious rollercoaster of cosmic chaos directed by Jayant Jathar and Rahul Awate. This cinematic movie explores the belief that if you kick the bucket at a cosmic 'oopsie-daisy moment', five more family members might join the celestial waiting list – unless you've got a to-do list of rituals handy . The filmmakers have  chosen a picturesque Kokan location to enhance the overall cinematic experience.It's a breathtaking setting! The lush greenery, coconut trees, serene sea ,rustic houses, and muddy paths create a visually stunning backdrop for the movie. The Malwani dialect used  adds a unique charm to it.The movie apart from ticking my funny bone did get me thinking about the various superstions we have in our culture . Picture this: the superstition of avoiding  'झाडू '(dusting) after sunset, as if dust bunnies turn into nocturnal creatures. And let's not forget the ritualistic consumption of 'dahi-shakkar' before ex...
