Irregular ranting by an Irrelevant thinker

Try to think about this woman—poor, illiterate, beaten by her drunkard husband, stranded by her family in the last month of her pregnancy. Delivering a Babyboy at a hospital in Sabarmati at 10 in the night, taking a Rikshaw (*Alone*) to take him to CHA because he didn't cry after birth. Her only ray of hope in this whole wide world is battling between injections, and Intracaths, and oxygen hose, and Ryle’s tubes, and ventilators and sensors and tangles of lines of iv fluids. Struggling to stretch every ounce of its existence to keep the tiny heart beating. Against failing kidneys and seizuring brains. And loads of ischemic insult, The tiny creature labours to breath. She—tired and sore—both from the unfairness of the world and the pricking episiotomy stitches. Broken by the toughest of contractions, lays awake, on the stony cold bench outside the nursery, not able to get up and quench her thirst without the pain ripping her apart into bits and pieces. Bright light,

આપણી અમદાવાદીઓ ની traffic sense કેવી? વખાણવા જેવી કે વખોડવા જેવી? અમુક દિવસો પહેલાં, મારાં એક Head injury નાં પેશન્ટ ને લઇ ને CT scan કરાવી ને આવતો હતો. રસ્તા માં ડાબી બાજુ વળવા માટે એમ્બ્યુલન્સ નાં ડ્રાયવરએ ઈંડિકૈટર આપ્યું. ને ત્યાંજ એક લબરમૂંછીઓ એની બાઈક પર ઝૂમ ઝૂમ ઝૂમ કરતોક ને ડાબી બાજુ થી સાઈડ કાપી ને નીકળ્યો, ને એમ્બ્યુલન્સ થી ભટકાતા જરાક માટે રહી ગયો. આ તો ભલું થજો અનુભવી ડ્રાયવર નું, કે જેણે સમય સૂચકતા વાપરી બ્રેક મારી. બ્રેક વાગતા આખી ગાડી ને જબરદસ્ત ઝાટકો વાગ્યો, જે Head injury નાં પેશન્ટ ને જીવલેણ સાબીત થઈ શક્યો હોત. મારા મેડીકલ નાં ફ્રેન્ડ્સ ને ખબર હશે કે Head injury નાં પેશન્ટ ને cervical કોલર શું કામ પહેરાવતા હોય છે. નસીબ જોગે કોઈ મોટી દુર્ઘટના ઘટતા અટકી ગઇ. મને એ નથી સમજાતું, કે એ બાઈક સવાર ને એવી તે શી ઉતાવળ હશે કે એને આવડી મોટી એમ્બ્યુલન્સ ના દેખાઈ, ના તો એને ગાડી પર નું બ્લુ કલરનું લબૂક જબૂક થતુ બિકન દેખાયું, કે ના જોરથી વાગતી સાયરન સંભળાઇ. સાંજ નો વખત હતો, પણ રસ્તો ય કાંઇ અંધારીયો ન્હોતો, અમદાવાદ ના સારા રોડ વાલા વિસ્તાર ની ઘટના છે. ને કદાચ દેખાઈ પણ હોય, તો

QUEEN OF KATWE (2016) “In chess, the small one can become the big one. That’s why I like it.” Directed by the talented Mira Nair famous for "The Namesake", "Salaam Bombay!" and "Monsoon Wedding", "Queen of Katwe" is a moving tale of how hard work and determination can literally bring a person from lives of struggle to life of glory. Just Like the  Phenomenon called "Promoting"  in the game of Chess, in which the Pawn, if it can reach to the last row of the opposite side of the board can be promoted to the rank of Queen. Phiona Mutesi, who calls this manoeuvre "Queening" is in full rights to attain this honour. The film features the story of a 10 year girl living in the slums of Katwe, Kampala, Uganda, who while selling Maize on the streets to support her family starts taking an interest in chess, and with her guide Robert Katende's strong determination beats all odds to become the youngest international chess cha

સંસાર નો નિયમ છે, જેની tweet સારી હોય એના blog સારા હોય એ જરૂરી નથી. એવીજ રીતે, જેનું trailer સારું હોય એનું મૂવી ય સારું હોય એ જરૂરી નથી. Yesterday, I watched the film " Zubaan " (ઝુબાં ). It was so good, so well promoted, {insert sarcasm here} that there was a #Crowd Of TOTAL 8 people in the hall ! The whole of the audience fit into a single elevator on the way out. While entering into the cinema, we bumped into an acquaintance who asked what movie we were watching, hearing our reply, she said with amusement: " Zubaan ? આ ક્યુ મુવી છે, એનું તો ક્યાંય પોસ્ટર પણ દેખાતું નથી!" We laughed at her, but once in the theatre, halfway through the film, we realized who had the last laugh. Zubaan movie ના 3 tenets છે. (1) હીરો વિકી કૌશલ ની ધાંસુ એપ્રોચ, જે એને રાતોરાત એક અબજોપતિ business tycoon નો એકદમ ખાસમખાસ માણસ બનાવી દે છે. (2) એ અબજોપતિ- ગુરુ સિકંદજેનું નામ છે- એની પોતાની cheating wife અને એના illegitimate દીકરા પ્રત્યેની બેહિસાબ Hatred. (3) અને

Tu kisi rail si guzarti hai , Main kisi pull sa thartharata hoon ! From the Ghaats of the holy Ganga comes an astonishingly beautiful and bold gem of a movie -- Masaan. Directed by Neeraj Ghaywan, and presented by Drishyam films, this movie has already won the hearts of serious movie connoisseurs in Cannes and in Ahmedabad. Set in the picturesque town of Varanasi, this film-- as it has proclaimed in the trailer itself-- ' Celebrates Life, Death and Everything in between.' Its not a single story. Its a unification of two stories, saperate on the surface, but joined by a common thread -- Banares. Two rivers, formed by rivulets of myriad instances flowing parallel, merging -metaphorically so- at the Sangam. Devi, who is caught between anger, guilt, and shame after her encounter with her boyfriend in a hotel room turns awry when they are busted by a corrupt policeman threatening to defame the couple, and the boy, in an attempt to save the humiliation, com

The Chaos The Chaos  by  Gerard Nolst Trenité This is a classic English poem containing about 800 of the worst irregularities in English spelling and pronunciation. If you can successfully pronounce the entire thing without error, you're officially a better English speaker than 90% of the world. But don't feel bad if you can't. It's quite the challenge. Dearest creature in creation, Study English pronunciation. I will teach you in my verse Sounds like corpse, corps, horse, and worse. I will keep you, Suzy, busy, Make your head with heat grow dizzy. Tear in eye, your dress will tear. So shall I! Oh hear my prayer. Just compare heart, beard, and heard, Dies and diet, lord and word, Sword and sward, retain and Britain. (Mind the latter, how it's written.) Now I surely will not plague you With such words as plaque and ague. But be careful how you speak: Say break and steak, but bleak and streak; Cloven, oven, how and low, Script, receipt, show, poem
