Reliving Childhood...!!

This picture has been drawn and colored by me.
Drawing and colouring always reminds me of a playful and colourful childhood. 
What reminds you the most of your childhood? Do you still do it? I feel it's important to keep doing those things no matter how old you get. You must bring out the child in you once in a while.

Mysterious Evening Colours

These pictures have been clicked through a moving car. The mysterious colours of the evening during Monsoons. Doesn't it look like God is painting a beautiful picture on the wide canvas of the sky? I love every bit of these photos. The various shades of blue and yellow merging into each other remind us of every night has a Dawn. :) :) :)

Shevgyachya Shenga

Shevgyachya Shenga is a Marathi play written and directed by Gajendra Ahire. The lead characters are Mrs Barve (played by Swati Chitnis) and Mr Sasne ( played by Sanjay Mone) Both have done true justice to their roles and acted splendidly. In side roles are Kadambari Kadam and Seema Parkar who have also acted equally well. Their acting keeps you hooked and engaged throughout the play. Both of them play characters in their late 60's. Mr Sasne is an eccentric old man who has lost his beloved wife and misses her dearly. He thinks he passes his time very fruitfully by keeping scores of innovative things.  
One fine day, while purchasing vegetables Mr Sasne ends up paying for the vegetables of Mrs Barve which is where their friendship begins from. They start going to each others places for lunch and dinner only for convenience sake and end up becoming best friends. The exchange of emotions is heart touching and will truly strike a chord if you have ever experienced living alone for a long time. Mrs Barve's son lives in the US and she is arranging for her passport and visa to visit him. When the formalities are completed, her son comes to sell off the property and take her forever. The thought of leaving her beloved friend and going away makes her sad and lonely. Finally she decides to stay back with him. This decision is not accepted by her son who tells her she's completely lost her mind and she does not understand Mr Sasne has befriended her only for her property. On the very next day, she transfers her property to her sons name and remains firm on her decision of staying back. 
This play not only entertains, but also makes you aware of the problems of elderly widowers. It makes you feel thankful for the people in your life who truly and unconditionally love and support you. The play also reminds you that as time changes the needs and requirements from relationships also change.  Finally the name Shevgyachya Shenga is apt as these sticks always grow singly on the tree and depicts the lives of these two main characters.
