The Khan everyone loved and adored: Irrfan Khan!

Looking through all the social media posts that mourned Irrfan Khan’s demise, it is truly heart wrenching to see someone so good, gone too soon. Many people die on a daily basis, a lot of celebrities as well but like many people pointed out on social media that the loss of Irrfan Khan felt more personal. It was more like the loss of someone who wasn’t known on a personal level but left an impact of knowing him a lot especially through his movies.

This happy face will be missed.

Be it Rana in Piku or Champak in Angrezi Medium, Irrfan has pulled off the best characters in Indian cinemas. An actor par excellence equally loved by all of his fellow actors left the world in splits today with his demise. Every actor and non-actor has experienced the void of losing someone they probably would have seen in more movies to come.

It overwhelms me to see my social media feed filled with love and prayers for Irrfan Khan. It symbolises the life of a man, who did the ordinary and brought extraordinary talent to the theatres. Many actors were fortunate enough to act with him and many dreamt of one day acting with him, those dreams are now gone with him, forever.

Irrfan Khan is actually THE KHAN, loved by all and hated by none. He stayed rooted to his humbleness and never let fame get the better of him. All his dialogues have a meaning on how to live life and one can’t get enough of not reading those lines. Not just lines, the words of wisdom he shared in his interviews teaches us how to look at life and how to stay grounded even after reaching the greatest of achievements.

Irrfan, you live through your movies and characters. You taught the world to be a little more nice and gave it everything. Our heart aches to not see you anymore in the movies but we will remember you more for the wonderful human being you have been! May your soul rest in peace and our support goes to your family!

Board games and family time: The days ahead of leading a hectic life, again!

Wondering whether to start a new show or take that carrom board out of your store and play during the quarantine? Come on, everyone knows that little child in you prefers the latter. Maybe, it’s time we spend hours a little online but most with the family and play games or talk with them.

It is the opportunity to use this time that we might have missed while being far from home to begin those nights of card playing or board games.

While growing up we have experimented with everything online, but there is still those memories that can be made while you sit in your living room playing the carrom board or cards. Those silly fights so that you don’t lose the game or the fun part of just turning board games upside down as you are about to lose shall hold a bigger place in your life when you turn to go back to a hectic life again.

With slowing down being the new cool maybe we should all pick up those playing cards, play ludo not online but using the board, drop those carrom coins in the pockets or go to the terrace for that beautiful evening view!

This family time will never come back, so don’t hesitate to watch the new movies with your family or sit for a round of evening chai and reminisce your childhood. Sometimes, our parents just need us to ensure that no matter what, they are important and precious even when we might lead a hectic life later.
