A poignant poem which depicts a mother's sorrow and the boundless love for her child.
A poignant poem which depicts a mother’s sorrow and the boundless love for her child.
Wake up my child, my wee bundle of joy,
Wake up my heart, my breath, my boy.
Wake up now for the world is calling,
Wake up now as my hopes are falling.
Wake up now and cry out aloud,
Wake up, my baby, make me a mum proud.
Wake up this instant as time is slipping by,
Wake up as my despair is now making me cry.
Alas, the time to wake up has now gone,
I lost you, my firstborn, my son.
Sleep well now in the arms of angels,
You are free of all of life’s travails.

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.
