Dreamcatcher

Dreamcatcher.
These wonderful looking mysterious objects made outta willow hoops, beads & pretty feathers.. 
what do they do? 
Just like their name suggests - They Catch dreams.
SOLD.

 The legend of dreamcatchers is one with many variants..

 some say that both - the good and the bad dreams are captured,
while some Believe that good dreams slide down the feathers to those sleeping below.

 The Ojibwe are credited as the first people to use Dreamcatchers,
although many other tribes and Native Americans too have adopted them into their cultures. 

 Even though the designs and legends may slightly differ from one tribe to another,
their underlying meaning & symbolism remains universal.

 (Ojibwa or Chippewa  - Land of Orgin of The Dreamcatchers)

While many cultures find spiders to be creepy crawlers, the Ojibwe people found them to be a symbol of protection and comfort.

 According to the Ojibwa story, a mystical and maternal "Spider Woman" served as the spiritual protector for the tribe, especially young children, kids and babies. As the Ojibwe continued to grow and spread out across the land, The Spider Woman found it difficult to continue to protect and watch over all the members of the tribe as they migrated farther and farther away.

 This is why She created the first dreamcatcher.

 Following her example, mothers and grandmothers would recreate the maternal keepsake 
- The dreamcatcher, as a means of mystically protecting their children and families from afar.
Sometimes reffered to as "Sacred Hoops", Ojibwe dreamcatchers were traditionally used
as talismans to protect sleeping people, usually children, from bad dreams and nightmares.

 It's the Native Americans who believed that the night air is filled with dreams, both good and bad. 

 ..& When a dreamcatcher is hung above the bed in a place where the morning sunlight can hit it,
the dreamcatcher attracts and catches all sorts of dreams. 

 The Good dreams, knowing their way, pass through the opening in the center of the webbing
and gently slide down the feathers to comfort the sleeper below.. 

 While the Bad dreams, not knowing the way are caught up in its protective net
and Are destroyed, burned up at the first light of the morning sun.

 Many Native Americans still consider the dreamcatcher to be a symbol of unity and identification.

Everybody dreams. 
I believe It is We who give things the Power We believe them to posses..
& We Do this most of the times by simply naming them. 
A dreamcatcher - as per it's name Will Catch Dreams if You believe in it to do so. 
How Scientifically does that Work? well nobody knows.. & honestly, i don't even want to know..
maybe some things Are better left unexplained.

 The mystery is what keeps the Magic alive..

 Some Believe. Some Don't.

 But That's how Magic works.
The ones who Believe in it experience it.

 with or without a dream-catcher..
HAPPY 2018 ! :)

Day of the Destroyers

1 st October 2017 Tiger Gate, Ballard Pier. Fort. High on Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk & much excited to simply experience our nation’s naval fleet;  I rushed myself to the prestigious celebrations of Navy week happening in Mumbai. I had no idea whatsoever as to exactly what I was going to see. No idea at all. We began by passing through a series of High security gates, and for a moment i thought we were the only ones to pay them a visit,  later did I realize there was very little public inside.  Of course, it was the 1 st day. And so we made our way pass security checks proving our identity as Indians as we produced our Adhars  *Yes only Indians allowed*  Following which We were strictly But politely asked to switch off our cell phones and put them inside those white opaque plastics they handed out to us.  Upon obliging I walked further until a guard asked me to hand over my phone, I did – He quickly sealed it and gave it back. *The t

Well, to begin with.. it's Always been a dream to one day drive the latest Formula 1 Race car. A Sport I've been following less passionately than my Dad since it's inception to television broadcasting. My oldest-faintest memory of Formula 1 goes back to when Michael Schumacher won his 1st Championship in 1994, when he raced for Benetton before Ferrari. Me? i was only a year old. Talk about astrological-star connection ; I was born on the same date as The 1st ever Formula 1 World Champion - Giuseppe Farina. Not to Brag, but I've ALSO been a little formally trained on Go-Kart's & Formula 3's by One of India's Best car racing coaches - Rayomand Banajee - a well know racing veteran - who during his peak at one point, tested with a certain Daniel Ricciardo for Formula BMW.  While Ricciardo was taking his 1st steps with the Red Bull racing team. Basically Motor sport Racing is By Default a dominating part of my genome.. & I Love it

Life Of A Thousand Deaths

People who Die everyday. No, people who kill themselves everyday. Purposely, Intentionally, day after day, time after time - innumerable amount of sacrifices, with pain to gain only a greater number of injuries both physical and emotional. You Call them Crazy you call them fools In the end It's exactly what they make of You. Blood, Sweat & Tears replace every other thing in their lives. Money is the last thing on their minds. All for that one BIG moment - fueled by true passion and will, a moment truly deserved - a tag of honor earned through a thousand deaths in one life. What they do does Not matter. But How they do it. How much they do it. After How much they do it. How often they do it. How hard they do it. How better they do it. What made them Do it & What makes them Do it - is what makes them #GOAT. Muhammad Ali. Serena Williams. Usain Bolt. Michael Jackson. Leonardo Da Vinci. MS Dhoni. Hans Zimmer. Milkha Singh. Roger Federer. Sachin Tendulkar.
