A Farewell to Irrfan Khan


Dear Irrfan,
 I know that you were against the idea of idolizing actors and sportspersons and calling them heroes. So I'd like to apologize in advance because I'm just about to call you my hero.
As a kid obsessed with Hindi cinema, watching your films for me used to be a gateway into a world that I was otherwise unfamiliar with. You are the man who redefined the world of movies and the art of acting for me. From 'Maqbool', 'The Namesake', to 'Paan Singh Tomar', 'Life of Pi' and 'Piku', your films have taught me countless lessons and consistently inspired me to be a better man.
I am not sure if writing a letter to you this way is the correct thing to do, but I really don't know how else to express the grief I'm feeling now. I never had the honour to meet you in person, but your loss still feels as personal as humanly possible.
Your last films 'Hindi Medium' and 'Angrezi Medium' both are masterpieces. I can't even imagine any other actor in the role. Your way to say the dialogues was epic.

I read the below lines somewhere, and these lines consistently filling a pain of losing an idol in my heart:

"Yeh Saali Zindagi" aisi hi hai, we lost "The Warrior" Irrfan Khan. "Madaari" ka "Karwaan" tham gyaa hai, "Billu" se leke "Paan Singh Tomar" tak hamne "Hindi Medium" me "Lunchbox" ko kho diya hai.
"Footpath" se leke "Apna Aasmaan" tak, he was "Mr. 100%", he was "The Killer", he was "A Mighty Heart".

RIP Legend!😢

My First Blog

This is what I look like. Pic taken at Rashtrapati Bhavan (Red eyes don't mean I smoke weed, it is because of camera effect.😛) First of all, I would like to tell you why I am here. In a world full of fake imaginations and envy, I am here to get some relief from the daily boring routine. It is enough to tell the reason of my such life is that I am an engineering student at IIT Delhi. Currently, I am at Jaipur, away from the daily world, and writing my first blog. It is not the first time when I am writing something. I used to write on Quora, but it used to be primarily on a particular topic. What should we write in our very first blog? A lot of people introduce themselves and discuss their daily life routines. Without trying anything different, let's begin. Hi everyone!!!👋 I am Manoj😊 with roots at Kuchaman City, Rajasthan, in western India. I matriculated from ABN sr. Sec. School in 2015 and passed the 12th standard from Navjeevan sr. Sec. School Sikar in 2017. (...

Love Me like You Do

30th January 2020, 2:38AM Sitting in the central library of IIT Delhi, a quiz is scheduled for tomorrow in Programming Languages. Although I haven't studied anything yet, still I couldn't concentrate on my mind. Today I found a cool song  "Love Me Like You Do"  when it buzzed in someone's mobile. It affected me so much as later I listened to this song, and tried to get the lyrics. After humming this song again and again, now I learned some lines. Here is my broken lyrics: You're the light, you're the night You're the color of my blood You're the cure, you're the pain You're the only thing I wanna touch Never knew that it could mean so much, so much You're the fear, I don't care 'Cause I've never been so high Follow me through the dark Let me take you past our satellites You can see the world you brought to life, to life So love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you do Love me like you do, lo-lo-love me like you d...

Good Byee 2019

So it is the year ending time of 2019 so I am summarizing this year in a poem. Zindagi ka ek aur varsh kam ho chala, kuchh purani yaadien peechhe chhorh chala.. kuch khwaahishein dil me rah jati hai, kuch bin mange rah jati hai.. kuch chhorh kar chale jate hai, kuch naye judenge iss safar mein.. kuch mujhse bahot khafa hai, kuch mujhse bahot khush hai.. kuch mujhe mil ke bhul gye, kuch mujhe aaj bhi yaad krte hai.. kuch sayad anjaan hai, kuch bahot pareshaan hai.. kuch ko mera intzaar hai,  kuch ka mujhe intzaar hai.. kuch shi hai, kuch galat bhi hai.. kuch galati ho to maaf kijiye, kuch achha lge to yaad kijiye..   Let's start in 2020 with a new initiative by revising our goals, thinking about all the mistakes and try to improve all those. Wish you all a prosperous   Happy New Year
