How do you want people to think of you when you are gone?
When I am gone; Let me rest in the dark, Do not be intimidated by my eerie presence, As I will light up your lonely world with my incandescence. When I am gone; Be with me while I perceive the whispers of the catabatic breeze, Allow this moment of our camaraderie to freeze. When I am gone; Do not chant hymns of entombment, As captivation seems so abhorrent, This fleeting soul is now addicted to vivacity, Instead, sing me a memory that lasts until eternity, Yes, that memory which is an ode to our treasured affection, Which is yet to reach its highest level of perfection. When I am gone; Cherish me in your racing thoughts, Reminisce the naivety and nascent flavor, To our union which I once brought, As in this grip of death, My soul badly yearns not to be caught, When I am gone; Race towards me with racing feet, Allow me to supersede over this ‘earthly’ pain of departure, And thrive in this moment of incautious meet, This very meet, which to earthly beings might seem incongruous, But to a dead and catatonic soul seems so sumptuous! When I am gone; Appreciate that death is another way of being, Not in humanly guise; But as an unconquerable spirit; Whose yearning for love never dies; For I have been reduced to a soul vanquished by the romantic fervor in your eyes; So here I stand, insurmountable by demise.
When I am gone; Let the fluttering leaves of the autumn tree soothe my soul which desires to grab infinity, That very soul which now lies hurt and sore, Come, my love, decorate it with ornaments in the form of memories galore. When I am gone; Let your tears touch, awaken and weigh down my heart, Let us reunite after life makes us to part, Clinging on the memories which we built when earthly life was a race, For it is in this awakening that I shall find solace.

Rajshri Deshpande, who played the fiery protagonist in Trial by Fire along with Abhay Deol speaks of her journey and her social work.
Rajshri Deshpande as the protagonist in ‘Trial by Fire’, the recent Netflix show has received raving reviews along with the show itself for its sensitive portrayal of the Uphaar Cinema Hall fire tragedy, 1997 and its aftermath.
The limited series is based on the book by the same name written by Neelam and Shekhar Krishnamoorthy, who lost both their children in the tragedy. We got an opportunity to interview Rajshri Deshpande who played Neelam Krishnamoorthy, the woman who has been relentlessly crusading in the court for holding the owners responsible for the sheer negligence.
Rajshri Deshpande is more than an actor. She is also a social warrior, the rare celebrity from the film industry who has also gone back to her roots to give to poverty struck farming villages in her native Marathwada, with her NGO Nabhangan Foundation. Of course a chance to speak with her one on one was a must!
Is Hansika Motwani doing anything really bizarre? It is common practice for celebrities to sell exclusive rights to their wedding, new baby etc. to publications.
We heard about a rather unique proposition on social media recently – the monetisation of a wedding – by transforming it into a reality TV show. Now I will admit my first reaction to this was horrified disbelief.
