RIP Dr APJ Abdul Kalam

A scientist, a passionate teacher, a visionary, and that unique person - a politician whom everyone loved ... the most universally loved, respected and admired President of India in recent times.

RIP Sir ... India has lost one of her greatest sons, and all Indians are the poorer for this loss.

He has left a rich legacy and a wealth of wisdom in his words ... if we were to follow even some of them, or at least try to, we can all make our country a better place.

Here is the list of top 15 most inspirational quotes by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam

1. “Dream Is Not That Which You See While Sleeping It Is Something That Does Not Let You Sleep.”


2. “Don’t Read Success Stories, You Will Only Get A Message. Read Failure St
ories, You Will Get Some Ideas To Get Success.”


3. “Best Brains Of The Nation May Be Found On The Last Benches Of The Classroom.”


4. “Problems are common, but attitude makes the difference!!!”


5. “All Birds find shelter during a rain. But Eagle avoids rain by flying above the Clouds.”


6. “Suffering is the essence of success!!!”



7. “You cannot change your FUTURE, you can change your HABITS. And surely your HABITS will change your FUTURE”


8. “What is the the secret of success? Right decisions.

How do you make right decisions? Experience.

How do you gain experience?

Wrong decisions.”


9. “Be more dedicated to making solid achievements than in running after swift but synthetic happiness.”


10. “I’m not a handsome guy, but I can give my hand to someone who needs help. Beauty is in the heart, not in the face.”


11. “Thinking is the capital, Enterprise is the way, Hard Work is the solution.”


12. “Hard Work & Perseverance Abdul’s Message to all:

1) Aim In Life

2) Acquiring The Knowledge

3) Hard Work

4) Perseverance”


13. “Learning gives creativity. Creativity leads to thinking. Thinking provides knowledge. Knowledge makes you great.”


14. “It Is Very Easy To Defeat Someone, But It Is Very Hard To Win Someone.”


15. “ Hard Work & Perseverance Message to all:

1) Aim In Life 

2) Acquiring The Knowledge 

3) Hard Work 

4) Perseverance”


My favorite quote by Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam.


"DONT DECLARE HOLIDAY ON MY DEATH, INSTEAD WORK AN EXTRA DAY, IF U LOVE ME"- DR. APJ Abdul Kalam


What a man!!! Salute!

Quickly posting some links and pics, as i'm still busy with house hunting and friends visiting.

Link of Sanaya's interview with Colors ... they finally uploaded! And some kind soul uploaded on YT, so we poor souls outside India can also watch!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7ekYTM_rQE&app=desktop



Written update: Its a 3 minute video . Sanaya is in her casual t shirt ..jai is on the floor getting some massage done . Sanaya teases him , calling him jay bhanushali LOLLOL and saying " free ka massage hai karvayo karvayo " LOL jai says " main kahan phas gaya , kis celebrity ke saath " LOL

Then the reporter starts asking his qs , he is very boring and straight faced LOL . Asks her that " she was offered JDJ earlier also but didnt do it then , why now " ...sanaya gives her answer " i enjoy dancing and wanted to enjoy JDJ whenever I do it , did not wish to be stressed while doing it with a fiction show ...getting up at 7 am etc . This year I am not doing a fiction show so doing JDJ " 

Second qs " so are her friends and family excited that she is doing jdj " ...answer " they always knew I will do it someday since I enjoy dancing " and says " i enjoy dancing but am not good at it ...i am not good at it ... I'm saying this again, I'm untrained " speaking as though warning her fans to remember that she's not trained .. and starts laughing ...

Asked about Shahid being on the judging panel and will she be jittery about that ... she answers that she is going to be jittery anyway, that's how she is, she's always jittery ... even if those seats were empty, she would still be maha jittery ... I know myself, that's how I am ...'

Qs asked " your good friend dhrasti won jdjin season 6 , have you taken any tips from her " . Sanaya answers " of course she's given me lots of tips  ...i call her up everytime i get stuck ...she has told me the aches and pain will reduce as time elapses and you will start enjoying the process more ... every time I get stressed out, she's the one I call, did this happen to you, ... yeah ...  " starts laughing LOL , in fact she is laughing through the byte LOL

Finally boring reporter asks " any message to your fans " ...she said ... " guys i know you have seen my stage performance and think Sanaya is a wow dancer ..but this is a different ball game . So pls lower your expectations of me " starts laughing again LOL . I promise with every performance I will improve so sit back and enjoy ... " 

SBS 1st July - Sanaya's reaction on being shown Colors blurb about her being on People magazine ... she is genuinely embarrassed!!! 



3rd July - article in DC
http://www.deccanchronicle.com/150703/entertainment-tvmusic/article/heres-what-sanaya-irani-was-upto-after-her-show-rang-rasiya

Here's what Sanaya Irani was upto after her show 'Rang Rasiya


Tv's darling Sanaya Irani, had been missing from the screen after Rangrasiya ended. She tells us, "I was just relaxing, holidaying with friends and family, watching movies, eating a lot. Basically, everything that you can't do when you show is on air."
About taking up 'Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' she says, "I have been offered the show since three years but I was always doing fiction show, so I couldn't take it up. This year I knew I would offered and I would do it. So I consciously did not take up any fiction show."
Speaking about the experience she says, "So far so good. My first act wasn't great but that's alright. Ill get to change few things and learn from it."
About her new sexy avatar on the show she says, " It's a new look, for the audience who has  always seen me in saris and salwars but this is how the real Sanaya is."
However she admits she isn't much of a dancer, "I love dancing, and watching people dance. I look at dancers and think I wish I could do that. I've never been trained in dance and that is not a lie. Although some people have trained and say they have not."
Considering her bestie Drashti Dhmai won Jhalak previously and so did Rangrasiya co-star Ashish Sharma, any tips coming from their side? "Ashish I don't really speak to, but Drashti has a lot of tips to offer. She tries to pep me up, and I keep calling her to ask all small things. Afterall,  who better than her?"
About other contestants she says, " I know Vivian from before. Infact a choreographer was telling us, he is surprised we were eating food together at the very first episode shoot.  It usually takes some weeks for that to happen. We are like one big family."
Buzz was Sanaya and boyfriend Mohit Sehgal were also offered Nach Baliye? "Yes we had been offered the show but I am not a dancer. So If I am have to dance I would like to learn the right technique and dance with a choreographer for now. Once I learn it lets see."
Mohit is also making a comeback with a show on Zee. "Being actors we discuss work often. I'm happy his show is going on air. It's something he hasn't attempted before so I'm excited about it."


-Addendum - I had this strong feeling that Sanaya had decided to do Jhalak this year, and that was the main reason she was not taking up any fiction show. I couldn't believe that she hadn't been offered anything. And I was happy if she did so, because she has always said that she cannot do two shows together. Hence if she wanted to do Jhalak, she had to take a gap from work.
Am glad that she confirmed my belief!

Sanaya Irani shakes a leg on Jhalak', impresses onlookers!

Deccan Chronicle | Natasha Coutinho | June 16, 2015, 15.06 pm IST



Mumbai: Sanaya Irani had been on a sabbatical after Rangrasiya' but is now back with Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa' in a new avatar. The petite actress recently shot for the promo of the reality show to be judged by B'town heartthrob Shahid Kapoor.
A source told Deccan Chronicle that Sanaya's performance has been an entertainer. "Sanaya did Ganpati (street) dance when asked to include her style in the shoot for her Ganpati dance performance that entertained everybody on the sets of Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa promo shoot," said the source.  

One more link - finally a glimpse of her promo on SBB.

Sanaya Irani: This girl-next-door with a huge fan following will be also seen showing off her dance moves in the celebrity dance reality show 'Jhalak'. Buzz is that Colors was trying to get her on the show for a long time now and this season everything fell into place. Sanaya gained huge popularity with her role in 'Iss Pyar Ko Kya Naam Doon'. There has been no looking back after that for Sanaya. With a fan base as strong as hers, she is being considered as one of the strong contestants of the show.
