Sharmila Tagore :-)

I've always considered Sharmila Tagore to be the Most Beautiful Lady, ever. For me, she is beauty, elegance, grace, gorgeousness personified :-)

I remember that she used to be my musey about 8-10 yrs back .. At that time, I'd catch all her movies on the TV.. from the sizzling Aradhana to the stale Dastaan!

So a few months back i happened to watch Sharmila Tagore's movie - 'Morning Walk' and i realized that i was in awe of her talent, beauty & charm ! And it dawned on me that my latest musey had arrived ! ha ha ha ...
And so have been following Sharmila Tagore last 2-3 months(of course on the net :P ).. Though i have my share of grouses against the media, am grateful to them atleast for this ! She was in the Alps for a unique game of cricket in the snow, between veterans, where the Nawab (of Pataudi - her hubbs) was umpiring. She was travelling all over India to promote her marathi movie - 'Samaantar', she was on the jury of the Cannes! , promoted her english movie 'Life goes on' in Mumbai Film Festival, did the UNICEF work, the Censor Board, etc etc .. phew ! I'm so amazed at her multi-tasking at this age !


And For my brother yogi's wedding last week, i wore a half-bouffant as an ode to my current musey !

I have met (rather seen) Sharmila Tagore once: I look back at that day with both pleasure (obvi for having seen her) and disgust cuz i missed that one golden opportunity to go & talk to her! She had come to our Ashram for the 'International Women's Conferemce' in Feb '09. And gorgeous did she look ! - Resplendant in a cream saree, the warmth with which she greeted Bhanu Ma was so touching!
But her status was not that of "current musey" at that time & the dud that i am, didn't walk up to speak to her ! arghhhh. How i cringe in irritation !

The grace with which she carries herself is inspring. She is the ideal "been there, done that" - with her wild ways & rebellious days past her, she is such a mature & elegant lady/actor today.. I dare say that if the Nawab hasn't watched any of her movies, it is a pity !


Before i let this pass, let me relive my fantasy (or desire of whatever!):
I'd meet Sharmila Tagore on the steps of the holy VM (one of the most beautiful places in the world) and my gaze, filled with such deep respect and the vibes which would be exuding such unconditional love that SHE'd be drawn to me like a magnet, intrigued and fascinated ! She'll ask "do we know each other" and the rest, as they say, would be, 'history - of unconditional musey love!' :-)

LOL ! i am so pleased with my own writing !

My Museys

Thats what i'd like to call them.. :-) They have always been the 'interesting' part of my life ;-)
Its really amusing - i mean, they are ! Not many can comprehend the pure feelings of love and adoration that i have for my museys .... i like calling it my 'musey-love life'

I don't want to "try" and describe how i 'feel' for my museys (cuz it can't be described!) but its such a wonderful amazing feeling ! I aint any artist who generally have a muse but i consider myself so blessed ... cuz God has given me this wonderful opportunity to love and adore someone unconditionally, without expecting anything in return and praying for their joy and happiness and always being there for them ...

As my Gurudev says,whenever we see beauty, we want to possess it, thus robbing it of all the charm & beauty. But it has not been the case with my museys and hence they have continues to retain a special place in my heart.. I have been happy loving, adoring, admiring them from far !
I write about my museys for 2 main reasons:

a) Have always wanted to chronicle my musey-love-life
b) I want to 'get over' my museys by penning down my thoughts & feelings.

I am using plural here cuz I've had museys since i've been about 12-13 yrs and they change every now and then .. from IK Gujral to my Advance Course Teacher to Sharmila Tagore to my doctors - its been a fascinating journey .. :-)
The musey nature varies - some are celebrities (sharmila tagore), i have met most of them but not everybody (rupert murdoch), some are extremely good looking (sharmila tagore again!) , some are exceptionally talented (maharajpuram santhnam) and quite a few of them have been my teachers (Ms.Sunitha Babugopalan - my 10th std physics teacher!) ...



Life is a ball during the days i have a musey .. but just how do i realize i have one ?!!
1. The "feeling" is unmistakable :-) :-) :-)
2. I google for my musey and keep googling till i get to know all i can about her/him (if the musey is a celebrity)
OR
I call/inquire around everyone i know who could give me SOME info about my musey !

ha ha ha ... it gets funny at times and feverish at other.. but then, its all fair in the 'musey-love life' ! more often than not, everyone around me gets a whiff of the current musey :
1. its in my eyes
2. its everywhere !! (rather i cant stop talking about him/her during that time ;-))

And one fine day u wake up and realize that ur current musey has just become an 'ex' !!! but as i always tell my friends, all my ex-museys have a special place in my heart :-)

So come along and join me on this touching, fascinating & 'musing' journey of my muses :-)
