Mothers Day Special

-
This post was winner of Blogadda Mothers Day Contest.


'Maa' used to be a constant fixture in Hindi movies in the 80's and 90's. A stoic and sacrificing figure, wearing a white sari and always a picture of love and devotion. A mother who was always bent over a sewing machine or working at a construction site. A mother who never forgot to make 'gajar ka halwa' and 'kheer' for her son. When talking of celluloid mothers how can we forget Nirupa Roy in the movie 'Deewar'. Hindi Cinema established once and for all...if you have 'Maa' then you don't need Gadi, Bangla or Paisa. 

Here is tribute to 'MAA' on this mothers day.


























And thus the story continues....

P.S: If you observe, all the 'Maa''s in Hindi movies doted on their sons...the celluloid daughters always got this..




Happy Mothers day !!!

    "Mere Karan Arjun aayenge, mere Karan Arjun aayenge..."

    "Ja simran ja...Raj isko leke chale jaa... yaha tumhare pyar ko samjhne wala koi nahi..." DDLJ

    HAHK Salman "Mummy ji"... Dont remember the dialogs...

    think Nirupa Roy would be the most type cast actor after the guy i don't remember his name who always played police inspector......

    good compilation ........ i think we can add Reema Lagoo to the "Always Mother" list..... :)

    Outrageously funny. And true the mothers in hindi cinema completely ignored the daughters. On top of that they got the worst mothers-in law. So they had nobody except god." jiske paas maa nahin uske paas bhagwan hain"

    Shilpa: Thanks :)

    Savvy: haan poori filmi hai :)

    Nish: Totally...

    Rosebelle: sorry dear...the woman in the pictures always portrayed a mothers character in Bollywood movies. She was always the helpless and the poor mother....and the dialogues are all from Hindi movies which have become well known over the years :)

    Karan: Those are some mighty powerful 'maa' dialogues. Thanks :)

    Hitesh: You are talking about Iftekaar, he used to always play the inspectors role...
    Hmm no one can beat Nirupa though...

    I love this!! Our movies do a lot of damage by creating such stereotypes. I have written two posts called 'Can an Indian daughter say, "Mere paas maa hai"?' :|

    For some reason I used to find Nirupa Roy scary in my childhood days and a little khadoos too!

There is no dictionary meaning for eve teasing, Wikepedia describes it as : " Eve teasing   is a   euphemism   used in   India ,   Bangladesh , and   Pakistan   for public   sexual harassment ,   street harassment   or molestation of women by men, with Eve being a reference to the biblical   Eve ." After I moved to UK, I literally felt free, the lack of 'Roadside Romeos' was quite a pleasant change. I do not have to think twice about what I am wearing or how I look in a particular dress. I do not have to keep adjusting my Dupatta or check myself in the mirror many times to see if my dress was transparent or low cut.  There are no catcalls or random comments hurled at me or any other woman walking in the street. All women can actually take a walk without being X-rayed with lusting eyes or lasciviousness grins. Men will not rub against you, grope you or pinch you. You can actually give a smile and say 'good ...

My friend Kautubh  has invited me to write guest posts on his blog. I have written the following post for him. Just posting an excerpt here. You can go and read the complete post on his website ' ekoshapu '. Thanks Kaustubh for giving me this opportunity. You can also go and check his two wonderful blogs ' Cipher ' and ' Swataha '- A Marathi Blog. ______________________________________________________________________ Writing- an Art or Passion? As children our parents try to inculcate in us various hobbies for our development. I remember going to painting, dancing, singing, guitar classes and whatnot. Writing on the other hand was not even a choice. Also writing was left to professional writers or mainly journalists. Things changed after the explosion of Internet throughout the world. Writing an online diary became a hobby for many people at the start of the millennium. This slowly changed to writing Blogs which were not limited to online diaries but have mo...

The growing pains....

I was recently reading my friends blog and he had written something about being an adult...that got me thinking of my teenage years...and time spent with my sisters and my younger cousin.... I have 2 elder sisters...hang on...I am not a pampered brat or something...though I am sure my sisters will disagree on this.... I had a very volatile relation with my elder sister who is just a year older (and I guess the remnants are still there)and more of a stable and "I revere her" types with my eldest who is seven years older. My younger cousin was more there for me to bully around and also be my good confidante in all the naughty things that I planned. Though I was never a kid who loved to destroy stuff and make other peoples lives miserable , in my middle sister's terms (Lets call her 'A') I was a kid who deserved some strong words every time I did something wrong.....which I actually thought was fun... I still clearly remember my first experience of stepping into teen...
