Dream comes true 😌

Trying to get hold of my emotions but all that I know is I need you close and I'm gonna scream and shout for what I love, passionate but I don't give a fuck, I admit that I'm a little messed up, but I can hide it when I'm all dressed up, I'm obsessive and I love to hard, good at overthinking with my heart, how you even think it got so far? And if I am a man I can't be needy? Way damn too needy? I can be needy, tell me how good it feels to be needed. Being a man is not easy women.

So where am I? being a man is not easy guys in childhood saw the same my dad used to say to me you're a man, son so don't ever cry I listen to him. In school days, when I was in 2nd-grade I was the mischievous kid and I was teasing my one frd who was sitting on the front bench of mine. While teasing my teacher caught me and she hit me so much from wooden scale and sent me outside of the classroom. I was crying because I got hurt on my hands, in the corridors, one class girl's group was going back to their classroom. One of them saw me crying, so she came to me she wipe out my tears from her handkerchief and kisses my cheeks, and said to me it's okay if you got hurt. She made me smile. I saw her going back to her classroom. She made my day. When our school last P.T. period was going on, I saw her again in her classroom monitoring. I wave my hand to her she smiled at me. I asked one of my friends who is she? What's her name? He replied "That's Naina Agrawal, the scholar of her class. She takes part in school events always." I was like okay scholar girl she is.

From that day I try to be her friend and I did we used to go home together with my friends n her friends. I was very shy to even talk with her but she was cute and talkative. So because of her, I start to talk more and more. And we don't even know how 2 years flew away we used to play together, do homework together, and then I heard her parents that they are going to shift somewhere, firstly I didn't know what it means but then after 1 week they started to pack their bags and all stuff, her mother came to me and said to me, that "Naveen we're going to shift Pune this week so you guys must stay with my daughter and make her happy, she'll miss you all guys." And on the day when they are going, I hugged Naina and given her one letter which is wrote by me. I said her not to open it until she reach there. She said bye to everyone and even me. Wish I could hold her hands for the last time or hug her. But I didn't, I can't even stop her. And she left, we all guys waved her. She's my first love. And I know that I couldn't even tell her. I even saw the dream of our marriage also which was unbelievable.

So after few months of 4th grade, one new girl came into our classroom, all the boys had eyes on her, but when she need a pencil she directly came to me. And all the boys got jealous of me when they saw she came to me for help. I couldn't let the moment go I started talking to her more and yes I made it she had been my friend too. We used to help each other in the school work, we also take part in the school drama where I forget my lines in the middle of the show and she helped me out too. After a few years, I don't know why I got feelings for her I didn't even thought of anything and I directly asked her for a date, and Aishwarya said no to me because she's already dating one of my friend. I was like what I did just she said no to me. But then I remember some memory of Naina which made me happy the most. In those times some new trends came up on Facebook, all my friends have their accounts on Facebook, so I made one for myself, and then I thought what if Naina Agrawal has an account on Facebook maybe we can talk or have any contact too. I made one, I searched for her but I never find her. So some years flew away too. I completed my 10th grade with 74% and thank God my parents were happy for me. I took admission in the science stream and what I saw was my class teacher was so hot like God damn. So my focus was always on my studies. And I got to know some girls were from Pune. So I asked them their name but it wasn't her. Some years flew away and I graduated from engineering college, I got a job as well and I was kind of settle too.

After few months my school friends planned for a reunion, I was excited about that and the day came and I went for the reunion which was at the hotel near to our school. Many friends came to meet it was good to see them again after a long time we were chilling I heard one girl's group saying, "Naina Agrawal you're looking so damn today." I looked at their group and waited for Naina's reply I don't know who is she how she looks like now but one of them replied to them and I took one of my friends to their group and sat with them I started talking with the girl's group we played the game also and there I saw her she's beautiful now, long straight hair, perfectly dressed, I can't even take my eyes off away from her. While leaving the reunion I called her and took her cell number and she gave it to me I was so happy that I finally got her number we texted that night and I pulled one moment to her. That when you left for Pune do you remember that I gave you the letter. She was kind of late to reply to it but she said which letter you are talking about. I was like nothing maybe she doesn't remember or something. The next day she texted me about the party, I was like fine we'll go. And we went to the party it was very good at first but then some we're doing drugs and stuff and she called one of her friends for that too she took some drugs as well. I wasn't comfortable with it. So I went to the loo. And Naina came in there. In the boy's loo with me, I told her to go out but she didn't, she bent down pulled my pants off I was in shock what happened to her why is she doing it what she wants I pulled her up close to me and in that flow, she kissed me so hard I grabbed her bums off and lifted her she put her arms on me while kissing I asked her again you don't remember my letter? She's like I don't know about any letter but I know one thing which I want now! I was like what you wanted she put her hands inside of my pants and she touches my dick and yes I was hard that time I grabbed her neck and kissed her so hard. She bent down again and said me I want to eat your meat. I was like okay she started eating my dick I was nervous but then when I saw her sucking my dick it was kind of amazing she teased me with her tongue first on my cock scrolling his tongue on it she took it in her mouth Like slow and slow she looked in my eyes and she started eating my balls as well then she grabs my dick and again she started sucking it off. Then I saw her eating my cock like a lollipop then again she took my dick inside of her mouth and it was warm inside of her mouth she did well to give me bj and I came inside of her mouth and she ate my cum instantly. She stood up and kissed me off and she went out from the boy's loo. I cleaned myself and came out. While leaving the loo I saw her with another guy I was like what the fuck is she doing I pulled her over me and the other guy was like that's my girl I asked him are you guys dating he's like no I took her in my arms and we left the club. I drove to her home. Her mom said thanks to me. And I saw her mom it wasn't Naina's mom. I asked them that they lived near to my home before in those times and you guys left for Pune. Her mom said to me that they didn't ever leave to Pune. My heart stopped beating and I left her home. In the morning she texted me I asked her directly that who are you which std you were in that year she said to me clearly and that's not even her. I was like what the fuck it is. I texted one of my best friends he said to me that Naina is in Pune still. She never came here. I was singing like "Jisse dhoondta hu Mai har Latin Jo Mili Mujhe Abhi tak nahi, vo Naina Agrawal hai Kahan." Where the heck is she, man how much I try to find her but she wasn't her.

After few years flew away I was 24 years old so my parents decided to plan my marriage. I just said them choose the girl whichever you guys like I'll be okay with your decisions. So they were okay with it. And they had liked one girl who stayed at Pune. So we went to meet her I was kinda nervous at first but my mom hold my hand and said this girl you will like the same as we did. And when I saw her I been flat on her she's very beautiful, wearing a saree which melt me off. They allow us to be in private for a talk and she asked me. You're the Naveen na, I used to be with you when I was in 2nd grade. I was in shock at what does she mean, then she said to me it's me Naveen whom you were given the letter to when I was leaving for Pune. I couldn't take my eyes away from her. I hold her hands she smiled at me. Then I saw her photos I was in kind of relief like I finally found her at last. When we came out I saw her parents as well it's her My Naina Agrawal. While we were leaving she came to me with the letter in her hand and she said when you reach home then open it and read. I couldn't wait to go home that day. My parents were like you didn't like the girl or what? I was like dad let me drive first we'll talk when we'll reach home.

When I reach home it's the same letter which I gave to her when she left for Pune. And she gave me her number too. I texted her immediately but she didn't reply to me I waited for her reply and at night she replied and we texted the whole night. I gave my approval to my parents that yes I want to marry her I liked her a lot and I can't wait for my DREAM COMES TRUE.

In the next month, we decided to get engaged we texted too as well and the day came for our engagement I hold her hands so tight and couldn't take my eyes off her. I was so happy at that moment. After that, we met again her friends invited us to the party we chilled that night and had a good time with her. And the times flew away I fell for her so hard, one night she called me up for some work I picked called immediately and she said me I was scared to get married because we hardly got to know each other is it okay. I told her you were my first love, I searched for you so much, you don't even know that and when I found you I got so peace and relief but trust me I won't break your heart and I hope you do the same. She said yes I will not break your heart just making sure that you are sure about it or not. I said yes im sure we are getting married soon. And yes I will love you and protect you and we ended the call I was so happy.

And the day came for our marriage finally I was so happy that day that now she will be mine Naina just mine. While Haldi she was next to me and I asked her 'have you are anything yet or do you want something to eat' she said ' I don't want anything let's do this and be romantic today.' We both blushed after that we wear our clothes for the rasam and I just want to go for loo my all relatives friends and my parents were in so hurry. I went to the loo. And I heard Naina talking with someone on call She's saying " please take me with you, I don't want to be here." And when I came out of the loo I asked her what happened to you who you're talking with is any problems you have, tell me. She's like she just worried and talking to some close friends they were planning for a party and all stuff I was like okay I don't want to make any seen so I just left and I saw one guy went to the loo and she was talking with her outside of the washroom. I was like it's okay that will be her friend or something. Our pandit called us for the rasam I been on time but when they called my bride all were searching her. Her parents were freaked out that where's she went just. My parents were like what happened just what happened to her why she left. We waited for more than 2 hours and I got one text from her saying that she ran she don't want to marry me she was in love with the other guy that's why she was crying and talking to him. I called her immediately but she didn't pick up. I went to my room I packed my bags crying. All my friends and my parents came to me they were saying to me don't cry I was like why I will not cry why I don't have a heart? The girl whom I was searching for from childhood she left me she just left me in the middle of the wedding? I don't have a heart I can't even express myself or what mom and dad say now. Her parents came to me saying sorry I just forgive them it's not their mistake also. And we left I can't even take the breathe it felt like IM dead now. But after one week I got a call for the interview I gave my well in the interview and I got selected too. They were offering me a job in the United States of America. I told my parents about it they were like you're okay I said to them I have ways to forget whatever happened and I think we should move on now I don't care about her anyway. I went back to my room she gave me the letter I burn it off in my washroom. In the next month, it's the time that I have to leave India. I hugged my parents and I left for my flight. While on the flight I was being emotional and one air hoster came to me and she asked me do u need anything, sir she saw my tears and she said it's okay to cry you have the same heart as we all have it's okay to be hurt and cry she gave me tissues and I wiped out my tears. And so on I try to move on. It's okay if you didn't get your first love, it's okay to cry to be needy, it's okay to be sad or emotional sometimes, we have the same heart as you have. And im a libra I can move on easily because I have to. And I try on that air hoster I wrote one letter to her asking her for a date and she replied yes to me. And so on I felt better this time. When I reached I waited for the air hoster and she came for me and then...

To be continued🤭😇

Mira Nair, Naseeruddin Shah among 300 signatories extend support to students protesting CAA-NRC: ‘Our silence ends now’ - bollywood

More than 300 prominent individuals, including filmmakers Mira Nair, Nandita Das, actors Naseeruddin Shah, Ratna Pathak Shah, Jaaved Jafferi, Homi K Bhabha, Partha Chatterjee, Anita Desai, Kiran Desai, TM Krishna, Ashish Nandy, and Gaytri Chakravorty Spivak, among others, have signed an open letter, expressing their solidarity with the students of India who have been protesting Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and against the National Register of Citizens (NRC). Extending their support to the students, the signatories said in their letter, “We stand in solidarity with the students and others who are protesting and speaking out against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and against the National Register of Citizens (NRC). We salute their collective cry for upholding the principles of the Constitution of India, with its promise of a plural and diverse society. We are aware that we have not always lived up to that promise, and many of us have too often remained silent in the face of injustice. The gravity of this moment demands that each of us stand for our principles.” Also read: Shah Rukh Khan: ‘I am a Muslim, my wife is a Hindu and my kids are Hindustan’. Watch video Here is the complete text of the letter: An open statement from members of the Creative and Scholarly Community in IndiaWe are artists, filmmakers, writers and scholars. Our work reflects people’s lives, struggles and hopes. We offer our dreams to everyone.But what dream can show us the way in the midst of the present nightmare? Our vision for this nation demands that we speak up now, in the name of our democracy and the constitution that protects it. We stand in solidarity with the students and others who are protesting and speaking out against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) and against the National Register of Citizens (NRC). We salute their collective cry for upholding the principles of the Constitution of India, with its promise of a plural and diverse society. We are aware that we have not always lived up to that promise, and many of us have too often remained silent in the face of injustice. The gravity of this moment demands that each of us stand for our principles.The policies and actions of the present government, passed quickly through parliament and without opportunity for public dissent or open discussion, are antithetical to the principle of a secular, inclusive nation. The soul of the nation is threatened. The livelihoods and statehoods of millions of our fellow Indians are at stake. Under the NRC, anyone unable to produce documentation (which, in many cases, does not exist) to prove their ancestry may be rendered stateless. Those deemed“illegal” through the NRC may be eligible for citizenship under the CAA, unless they are Muslim.Contrary to the stated objective of the government, this does not appear to be a benign legislation, only meant to shelter persecuted minorities. The list of exclusions seems to indicate otherwise. Why are minorities from other neighbours like Sri Lanka, China and Myanmar excluded? Isit because the ruling powers in these latter countries are not Muslim? It appears that the legislation believes that only Muslim governments can be perpetrators of religious persecution. Why exclude the most persecuted minorities in the region,the Rohingya of Myanmar or the Uighurs of China? This legislation only acknowledges Muslim perpetrators, never Muslim victims. The aim is transparent: Muslims are the unwelcome Other.This is state-sanctioned religious persecution, and we will not condone it. In Assam and the Northeast, and in Kashmir, the indigenous identity and livelihood is threatened as never before, and we will not condone it. The response of the government and law-enforcement agencies to the distress of its citizens has been callous and high-handed. India has seen the most Internet shutdowns of any democracy in the world. Police brutality has left hundreds injured, including many students from Jamia Milia Islamia University and Aligarh Muslim University. Several citizens have been killed while protesting. Many more have been placed in preventive detention. Section 144 has been imposed in numerous states to curb protests. We need look no further than Kashmir to see how far this government is willing to go to suppress democratic dissent. Kashmir is now living under the longest Internet shutdown ever imposed by a democratic government. Enough is enough.Those of us who have been quiet in the past, our silence ends now. We will be clear-sighted in our dissent. Like our freedom fighters before us, we stand for a secular and inclusive vision of India. We stand with those who bravely oppose anti-Muslim and divisive policies. We stand with those who stand up for democracy. We will be with you on our streets and across all our platforms. We are in solidarity.” Here is a list of some the signatories: Rahman Abbas, Anvita Abbi, Ajayan Adat, Ramona Adhikari, Faraz Ahmad, Anvar Ali, Zaheer Ali, Lalitha Alilu, Shimit Amin, Jyothi Ananthasubbarao, Vidya Das Arora, Sushila Bahanda, Vikas Bajpai, Ritwik Banerjee, Sudeshna Banerjee, Sumanta Banerjee, Susan Barton, Aamir Bashir, Amit Basole, Rakhi Basu, Dev Benegal, Homi Bhabha, Amit Bhaduri, Madhu Bhaduri, Nabakumar Bhattacharyya, Akeel Bilgrami, Rani Day Burra, Sundar Burra, Meena C.

Osian’s preview of auction that helps bring home Masterpieces of India’s Artistic Heritage

At the select preview of The Osian’s Group, Indian Antiquities, Modern Contemporary Fine Arts and Books, jostled for space at the Tao Art Gallery, Worli

Those who graced the preview included among others, Neville Tuli, veteran artists Lalita Lajmi, Samir Mondal, Naina Kanodia, Brinda Miller, Kahini Arte Merchant, Ananya Banerjee, author SMM Ausaja, singers Mitali Singh, Lesle Lewis, Sona, ace choreographer Sandip Soparrkar, theatre personality Raell Padamsee, Ajoyykant Ruia, Attreyee Roy Chowdhury among others.

Collections with impeccable provenance from India and abroad, such as the Maharaja Sir Vijay Singh of Rajpipla; Family Collection of Late Smt. Indira Gandhi; Byramji J. & Shirinbai B. Moos Mistry Family; Eminent Southeast Asian & Himalayan Art Scholar & Curator Dr. Pratapaditya Pal; Top Collectors of Tibetan and Himalayan Art Angela and Dr. Ernst Mischa Jucker (USA); Paul F. Walter; leading Indian Modern Art Collectors Chester & Davida Herwitz; Soli Daruwala, Founder of the Sarala Art Centre; Subhash Shah, First Director of the Leila & Purushottam Hutheesing Visual Art Centre; František Salaba (Czech Republic), Madanlal Sodhani, artist & animal activist, Madhusudan Kushary, among others were on display.

Featuring Indian Antiquities mainly from important international collections, the auction gives the Indian collector a rare advantage to bring back significant pieces of our artistic heritage rather than from the usual New York or London based international sales.

The artworks include an important 3rd-4th century Buddhist Gray Schist sculpture from the Gandharan region and Kushan Period, formerly from the collection of a Prince; a significant medieval Buff Sandstone Stele of Saraswati from the 12th Century to most important schools of Miniatures from the Indian belt (Deccani, Pahari, Mughal, Mewar and Company) and a small selection from our neighbouring countries, Nepal – Tibet – China and Sri Lanka.

These examples represent some of the pinnacles of India’s artistic heritage which we have mostly lost and now the Indian collector has another chance to bring back home, a task which Osian’s has been fighting for nearly twenty years, and over the years has spent crores to help build the base for its vast knowledge-base on India’s cultural civilization.

Among the collections are top quality artworks by Modern-Contemporary Masters like Ustad Allah Bukhsh’s ‘Krishna Series’of mid-1920s, Nicholas Roerich’s mid-1930’s ‘Pilgrim in the Himalayas’ and K.C.S. Paniker’s earliest and the largest reference of marrying art and crafts vocabulary through his 1964 ‘Words and Symbols’ both estimated at INR 1.60 -2.40 Crores; M. V. Dhurandhar’s early 1920s canvases estimated at INR 40- 60 Lakhs formerly from the Rajpipla Royal Family Collection; one of the last paintings done before departing for London in the late 1940’s by F.N. Souza; a sculptural 3D wooden impression of the ‘Lullaby’ by the great craftsman and sculptor, DhanrajBhagat; the rare 1947 traditional ‘Folk Dancers’ by K.K. Hebbar, probably celebrating India’s Independence; Serbjeet Singh’s exploration of the Himalayan ranges and late 50s depiction of Ladakh & the Indus Valley; Prabhakar Barwe’s mid-late 1960s ‘Untitled’ canvas inspired by the search for an Indianness in modernism as the 1960s best reflected; M.F. Husain’smagnificent horses from the late Indira Gandhi Family Collection, along with two early K.S. Kulkarni 1950-60s figurative & cubism inspired paintings; Wasim R. Kapoor’s ‘Resurrection’ a National Award winning 1980 painting; Drawings of the 1940s and 80s by F.N. Souza, Prabhakar Barwe, Ganesh Pyne and the master draughtswoman Nasreen Mohamedi’s minimalist drawing, along with J. Swaminathan’s late 1980s ‘Signs & Symbols Series’, and early & important Kashmir-period inspired works by G.R. Santosh and many others.

The auction on April 7 will open with 12 Lots of Rare Books, Catalogues and Journals on the Indian Arts from the late 19th Century till the most recently published record of the 21st Century.

Founder & Chairman, Neville Tuli commenting on the auction, reiterates, “It is time our governments recognise that the heart of a great civilization is its artistic and cultural knowledge & wealth. No business or industry can rival such, we have only to document the architectural heritage of India to know where India’s pride, wealth and character abides. Over a decade ago China was barely 2% of the global art market, today she constitutes more than 25% of the world market; India still stands at less than 1% then and now. We may not have the ambitions and vision of China today, but it is time to recognize that the greatest believer and supporter of high culture must be the government so as to allow the freedoms to the private sector to build grand infrastructure and share in the risk involved. We still pay import duties to bring back Indian art to India. This is utter ignorance. High culture is for the masses over time, but the infrastructure must be built from the most elite platforms to the most publicly accessible simultaneously. This vision existed to some extent after Independence, it died during the 1970s and so far has seen no resurrection or recalibration for the contemporary needs and aspirations of India and Indians. An auction is an important trigger as it places monetary value on ideas and objects which most cannot fathom or understand, and in the process inspires building blocks to preserve, nurture and spread the ideas around those objects. It is time to deeply re-delve into the needs of India’s artistic heritage and build something truly great which allows us to share with pride the best of India’s cultural civilization.”
