Boundless Dreams

Logic gets you to analyse stuff but your imagination gets through that in our world of achievements what we call our once boundless Dreams. One such for me, is to keep rising & improving myself to be the best among the best.

Here, let's talk about the amazing journey for Dainik Jagran #newspaper presenting Jagran Dandiya night 2022 #navratrispecial (& Future wiz for the opportunity they presented).

The journey starts with sleepless night, fever, cold and being little down. I had to board my train from Howrah Railway station and being hungry took a toll on my mood. I became very silent, perhaps god has other plans, finally I had my breakfast ordered from IRCTC pantry, the co-passenger from Kabul working at Kolkata gave me various insights about the ongoing restrictions in their native place inregards to women and their sense of basic liberty. Well, finally reached Jasidih a small town in Jharkhand, where we were taken to Deoghar (we here refers to me and female singer from Kolkata), had our stay, since it was already a noon , so atmost could rest for just a while , got ready & headed of for my show at Baba baidyanath's Nagri precisely to celebrate - Jagran Dandiya 2022- presented by Dainik Jagran (initiative taken by), title sponsor- TufconXT, main sponsor - Narayan Das, Co- sponsor: Gini& Jony, Shree Ram Honda, Touch Solution, Kerala Educational and Social Welfare Society, Shiva Hospital, Suprabha Shiksha Sthali, Red Rose School, Harsun, Baba Baidyanath Welfare Society, Powered By- The Ramakrishna Vivekananda Vidyamandir.

On returning back, I made sure to thoroughly cleanse my skin which is always of 3 step process- Derma cleanser, oil for Mascara and eyes outerlids and finally fash wash (it's always the Ahaglow or Pilgrim's for acne prevention) . I was fast asleep but made sure to set up the alarms, had a plan to visit the famous temple but your Nomadic Emcee wanted sleep so I skipped and slept for a while longer (had I not being to the city when I was around 12-13years old I would definitely go out to explore).

To carry on, I woke up, packed my stuff and left for the next destination Bhagalpur #bihar which was of 5 hour long journey & again on reaching with no such time left to sleep, we made our way to freshen up and just lay down for let's say 15-20mins, got ready , headed off for the show, the crowd the audience was simply huge and lively.

On returning back after the show, where I wasn't able to clearly give them a sign off from my end, YOU SAY WHY?.... It's due to complete craziness of the huge audience, we were escorted back to our stay, made sure to go through 3 step process, freshened up, changed, packed up my stuff and to my utter disappointment or let's say here comes my Nightmare- my bloody menstrual cycle begins, things started to go down the lane,when it came to my Health or to my Physical Discomfort but the Show must Go On, anyway for my ongoing fever took a Kalpol and in the midnight itself headed off to next destination for Patna ,without any rest for 8.5-9 hours of long journey which includes the halt we made for a while to grab food at a local Dhaba. Given the intense cramps at the back of my body and pain in my thighs, I was patting myself on the back to make it through the hustle of all the days of continuous journey. After reaching Patna,now was the time where I could actually get a power nap which lasted for a hour or two, not more for sure,had breakfast, had my dose of medicine cuz it's important. I was stressed out about returning to Kolkata as I had prior commitment for a small event for my close friend.

Ready to leave for the next destination ( #sassaram) Dehri On- Sone, we packed our bags but here comes the twist, now for this 4 hours of long journey - we have to get ready completely with our makeup, hair, dress done. Honestly, now the hormones were speaking, as I recall I was in tears for no reason on a video call or was getting irritated too but you know what I managed it perfectly, was super polite, super energetic. Since we were running late, was rushed to the stage as soon as I stepped out of my Vehicle, had our Powerful Punch of performance cuz-

"Ki Kaise kahu meri dua bae asar ho gai

Mai jbh v royi mere maa ko khabar ho gai,

Maa ....

Ma kai kahe rup hai,

Toh kuch kehna chahungi jaise vedo Mai rigved sabsae mehtavpurn hai,

Jis tarah graho Mai Surya sabsae mehtavpurn h

Usee tarah màa durga kai 9o navratro mai,

Saptam ki ratri kaal ratri

Sabsae jyada mehtavpurn mani jati hai .

Yeh wahi rup h jbh ma nai rakhtbeej naam rakhsh ka vadh kia tha,Chand aur mund ka vadh kia tha,

Jai jai hai mahishahur mardini

Ramya Kapardini Shaila Suthe"

With this Jai Mata di,comes the end of my journey, again for 4 hours had my journey going back to the base- Patna, slept for 2-3 hours, got ready and headed off to Airport. (The boarding passes were sent to me same day midnight, I was relieved.) The little kid in me in the back of my head was having a small dance too.

To sum it up,

Super hit amazing shows, love of the people, amazing hardworking team, never ending challenges by all at some point faced gracefully, loads of travel for your #NomadicEmcee, great sweet people surrounded with, little hectic & painful yes.

I extend my thanks to all the support by everyone presenters, sponsors, team, friends & partners. But again if you think you are going smooth you might be going down the Slope. Hurdles and the strength to overcome shall always win.... for your dreams.

Keep aspiring and inspiring.
