Quoting, 70’s Indian Rebel & Dancer, Protima Bedi
“The world isn’t just what you see outside your window. It’s so much larger, so much grander. We are just microscopic specks in the whole big scheme of things in this universe! How bogged down we get by rules, by what society wants and what people say, when in fact it’s all just timepass. Enjoy the moment, even the grief. Celebrate the joy of being alive. It’s so very very easy to be happy”

NSFS (Quoting Quotes)
When I saw this tweet yesterday afternoon, from my favourite Bollywood actress (from the 1990’s), I though I should do a post sometime, quoting her. And then, when I saw it was her 51st Birthday today; I knew I had to do a quick Blogpost.
My father and my (then teenage) sister, were lucky enough to meet Juhi Chawla, when she visited Sri Lanka, in the late 1990’s. This was during my Delhi University years (so ironically I was in India, when Ms. Chawla came to SL). My sister, totally in awe (Lucky kid!!), did ask Ms. Chawla for two autographs, and sent me one. Recently, Juhi Chawla re-visited this country, for a local function, with a bevy of Bollywood stars.
Wishing Bollywood’s Sweetheart, a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
All the best, please never stop acting, and continue your great activism!!!
