Even Waiting Is Training ...

Hello once again My readers. Hope you had a great weekend. My weekend ends with a good note because I get to write My blog by the end of it. Slowly slowly, the readers are increasing and that makes me very happy! So thank you all for your support and love. Oh by the way, which one of you guys has your own wonderland? You know a tiny place in your head, where you think all the bizarre and crazy things? A place where anything is possible? A place where you either saving the world and creating new ones. You know, Wonderland. I bet all of you at some point of time have had your wonderlands. You don't have to tell Me what they are but I sure as hell will tell you what was Mine. :-)

It was kinda inspired from The Matrix in which a character just like Morpheous would give Me a choice between the Blue Pill and the Red Pill. The Blue Pill would give Me All that I ever dreamed off! The Money, The Fame, The Power, The Love, everything! But The Red Pill he said was something more. He said if I would take the Red Pill I would enter a world where nothing is certain and I would be on My own and I would have to Face every Challenge head-on and survive each day. Of course, any one would choose the Blue Pill and I was about to do the same but then something inside of Me told Me not too. Yes, I chose the Red Pill because deep down inside, I just knew that I was always meant to take the Red Pill. And so I did what I was always Destined to do. I mean, can you imagine, even in My Wonderland I chose the Tough Way Out. And I will tell you why ...

One of the greatest fighters in Mma history George St. Pierre once tweeted that he met this great trainer from Japan and GSP was telling him that he is waiting to get back into the Ring and start fighting again. He said the wait is killing him because he has to give his hand time to recover from the injury. And all that Japanese Sansei said was, "GSP, Even Waiting Is Training." Amazing words, aren't they? I mean, if you think of it, they have so much of depth and meaning! I related to those Words instantly because even in Wonderland, when I took the Red Pill, I knew I had to wait for My Time to come. And till today, even in Reality I live by that code. I keep on telling Myself everyday, Even Waiting is Training.

Morpheous may not come to Me in My visions but I feel the Universe always giving Me Signs and Signals. Telling Me that I have to wait. I have to Wait and Train. The Universe tells Me, Mahaakshay, I will test you. I will make you go through all the Punishment that is necessary for you to become strong. I will put you in situations where you will only be misunderstood and hated. You will be alone in your fight. You will be called names. You will never be loved. You will have to fight this war of yours, by yourself. I will never stop testing you. I will give everyone what they want and will make them shine in their glory, even if they are not worth it. But you will have to wait. No matter how many hours you Workout or dedicate yourself to the cause or give your all that you have, I will always make the people say you are still not good enough. I will show you what greed does to people. I will make the world hate you and they will party and fall in love but You will have to wait. I will show you what Pain feels like. I will show you the true color of this world where governments fall. Children who die because of others silly mistakes and people killing each other and call it a movement of peace. I will make you go through hell but You will have to Wait ... Until your time will come ...

Yes. Your time will come because the Universe is Just, Fair and Noble to all. But the reason your time will come later is because you will Train and be Patient and become the Man you were always meant to be. You will become something more than you ever imagined. And when Your Time will come, you will cherish it. You will live it and you will be Worth Every Moment of it! You will earn your right to shine because you know what the Darkness felt. You will learn to Respect because you will know what humiliation means. You will be victorious because you will know what it feels like to fail. You will be loved because you know how it feels to be Hated. You will be given all the Glory because you will know what is the price of Sacrifice. And then, when you are where you want to be, You Will Know That Even Waiting Is Training ...

So this is Me, with My Beliefs and Codes and Way Of Life. You have the right to see this blog the way you want too but I know that I have job to do. And that is to Train and Wait. Train and Wait. Train and Wait and Believe that one day My Time Will Come ...

This is Me, Mahaakshay Chakraborty. And I chose the Red Pill. Which Pill will You take?

With All My Might,

The Greatest Man I Know ...

We all have our Heroes. We all have our Idols and Role Models because we all look up to some one. Some who Inspire us. Some who Motivate us. Some who show us the way. Who make us the Men and Women we want to be. Sometimes, there are many we look upto. But sometimes, lucky chaps like Me get all those amazing Qualities in only One Person. And that Man is My Father. Yes, My Father, the Greatest Man I know. The Greatest Man I will ever know. I am truly blessed to be the Eldest Son of Mr.Mithun Chakraborty and yesterday was His Birthday and today is Father's Day! I don't think there is any better day than this for Me dedicate this Blog to Him! And before I go any further, I want to wish All those Amazing Fathers out there a Very Happy Father's Day! You are truly a Blessing to all your Children. Some of us know that now and some of us one day will. And for the record My Dad is only 27 ++ Years old. :-)

On the 30th of July this year I will turn 28. No, I am not reminding you guys about it. The reason I am mentioning that is because it took Me a while to understand My Dad. I think it took more time than it was required. While growing up, back in the day, when I was 8 years old, Dad used to be busy with 4 shifts of Shooting everyday and I hardly got to see Him. But trust Me, I was petrified of Him! I mean, His presence used to rattle Me in Fear even though He  never used to Shout or Yell. He used to be so tired that He used to come Home and Sleep. But even then, I always knew that He was My Father and the Boss of the House. His word was the final judgement and not even God could change it. For many years, even after that, I had the same Fear of My Father. Even during My teenage Years, I never went up to him and confiding in Him about My 'growing-up' problems or even My feelings towards Girls. But Dad starting realizing that and He started opening up to Me. He started becoming more of a Friend to Me and joking around with Me. He started watching the Shows I liked. He started becoming the Buddy I always wanted. But even then, the Fear in Me never went. Not until I hit Rock Bottom ...

I remember so clearly. It was right after Jimmy. The Film bombed at the Box Office and I was getting insulted and abused left, right and centre and I was completely shattered with no hope for a better tomorrow. But during My Darkest Hour, My Father was there for Me. He gave Me strength. He gave Me Hope and more importantly, He made Me believe in Me again. I know what He was going through then. It was the same Pain that I felt. He did and trust Me, I know what all He has done for Me! He was Strong for Me when I had No Strength and He always told Me that it is important to be a Good Human Being. His Every Word is Godly for Me. And today, whatever I am is because of His Teachings. Even today, He works for Us. He wakes up everyday and goes to Work for His 4 Children and His every Action today shows the Love for His Children. He has sacrificed everything for us and He still does. He gives us everything! We are so blessed that even before we think of something we are rewarded by it! He takes us to Holidays all around the World! And no matter how tired He gets, He comes back Home after His Shoots and Cooks for Us. So yes, I am Blessed! I am truly Blessed to be His Son and even if one day, I become 1/4 of the Man that He is, I will say that I have achieved something great in My Life !

I know there are many out there who have a problem with Me being His Son. They say I get it easy. They say I don't deserve it. Well, I can't do anything about it now, can I? I mean, God must have really been impressed with Me in My Past Life for Me to have been chosen to be the Son of Mithun Chakraborty and if given a choice, for the next billion Births, I would want to be His Son. My Dad is My Hero! My Dad is My Rockstar, My Role Model, My Inspiration! My Dad is My Friend. My Dad is My Blessing! I have promised Him many things and I swear I will do whatever it takes to make Him Proud of Me one day. And I know that 'one day' is not that Far Away. So before I go I just wanna say That I Love You Dad and You Are The Greatest Man I Will EVER Know! :-)

This is Me, Mahaakshay Chakraborty and I am the Son of Mr. Mithun Chakraborty.

Dear Universe ...

Dear Universe,

Hi. My name is Mahaakshay Chakraborty. And I am writing this letter to you. This letter has been on My to-do list for a very long time now and I apologize for not writing this earlier. But no better time than the present na? So here goes. Geez, I am so nervous. I mean, I have written to you before. I know you have many names. Many call you God. Some call you Energy but I like calling you The Universe because all the components that make up the Gigantic Universe are also in Us. So yes, I am a part of You just like you have always been a part of Me. :-)

You have taught Me so much. You have given Me so much! I will never be able to thank you enough for the things you have done for Me! I know you have always been there for Me, even when I forgot to be there for you. You never wanted anything from Me. All you wanted was acknowledgement. I am sorry for all those times when I didn't say Thank You. I am sorry for the times I forgot to talk to you. I am sorry for all those times when I made My mistakes. But no matter what I did, you were always there for Me. I know there are 7 billion people on this planet and another billion types of species and you take care of all of us. You have time for all of us. To listen to our pleadings. To answer our prayers. To show mercy to us even when we do the unthinkable. You have treated us as equals even when we fight for superiority. You give us all that we want, even when we kill each other for a square-inch of land. You love us even when we fight for our religions. You gift us with Happiness even when we only choose negativity. You give so much, even when we do so little for you ...

Oh, I remember. I remember everything. How I came this far and what it took Me to come here. All those days, months and moments. The days I gave up and cried. The days I didn't wanted to go any further. The times when I just wanted to run away. Even when I was down and under, you give Me Hope. You gave Me Strength. You showed Me the way. You never left My side. You made Me believe in Myself when I couldn't believe anymore. You blessed Me with a Family who always stood beside Me. You made Me meet people who became My friends. You taught Me how to walk in the Darkness and took Me into the light. You made Me realize that when all else fails, Faith will prevail. You made Me wise enough not to repeat My mistakes. You gave Me a conscious who always told Me to do good things even when I was drowned in My own Hate. You made Me a better person when I thought I was always the odd one out. You showed Me love even when the only thing I saw was Hate ...

So dear Universe, THANK YOU! Thank you from the bottom of My heart for this beautiful life that you have given Me. I promise I will become a better person. I will never hurt anyone again. I will speak the Truth. I will be Kind and Noble to all. I will always Fight. I will Never Give Up. I will always believe in Myself. And I will always have My Faith. I will Work Hard, Stay Disciplined because I know that one day My Time will come. You will give Me everything that I want. You will always be with Me as I will always be with you. But dear universe, I have a few requests, I hope you can grant them for Me. Please bless everyone. Even the ones who don't believe in you. They need it. Remove Hate from this world. Make everyone believe that we are all the same. Please forgive the ones who consider Me as their enemy because even they are fighting their own battles. Give everyone what they want because everyone deserves happiness. Give everyone Hope and tell them no matter how tough it gets, no matter how dark it gets, the Sun will Rise again the next day and everything is going to be ok. Make them believe in Love because in the end no matter how many sons and daughters will die in the Wars we will fight, Love will change everything. Love will make them better people. Love will make them forgive. Love will lead them to heaven.

Once again Dear Universe, Thank you for being there for Me. And I will never forget you as you never forgot Me. And Dear Universe, next time you won't have to wait for Me because when you look down, you will see Me looking up and telling you Thank You. Thank You ... From the bottom of My Heart.

This is Me, Mahaakshay Chakraborty and this is My Letter to the Universe.

Choices ...

Hello everyone. Sorry for the delay of My Blog entry. The Chakrabortys came back from Europe on Sunday and I really wanted to rest it out and get back to My normal routine on Monday, so I thought, the best time to write this is today. And yes, Europe was awesome! We really had a great time there! We saw everything that we wanted too and we also saw many historical monuments as well and clicked many pictures there to cherish those amazing moments! It was wonderful visiting three countries in 12 days! It was a Trip to remember and to top it, I also got My Dr.Dre Bluetooth Headphones! They are spectacular! And I heard this Song from Keith Urban. It is called FOR YOU. That song is surely the Song-Of-The-Week as it is dedicated to all those brave men and women in uniforms who put their lives on the line everyday to protect their nations! It is a must hear and the Lyrics are a must-read as well! :-)

And now, we begin ...

As Morpheus said in The Matrix Reloaded, "Everything in life begins with a choice." Life is truly about the choices you make. I know that some of you may say that no, it doesn't because everything in life is pre-destined and we were always meant to do, what we were meant to do. That everything is already written for us. I agree with you folks to some level but I also believe that even though we all are chosen to do what God chose us to do, He also has given us the Power of Free Will to walk that 'Pre-Destined-Chosen-Path' the way We want too. Like for example, He has given us the Ferrari but it is up to us how we drive it. The Choice to Crash it or reach smoothly to our destination. For a while, I, Myself, thought there is no point in making these choices because in the end, we always end up being what we thought we shouldn't be. But I tell you today, We do have the Power to make our own Choices. We have The Power to Stand for What We Believe in or fall in that bottomless pit from where there in no going back  ...

Many believe that this is the Year the world will come to an end but for Me, it is the Year that I was re-born. I have changed so much! In the way I think, the way I react and with the way I am with people. And that all didn't happen in an instant. It happened because I chose to change. I made My Choice. To be a better person. To see the Good Things in Life. To find the Kindness in others. To Forgive and let go of all of that Anger. To become the Man I always wanted to be. A Man who doesn't have a Heavy Conscious. Trust Me, it isn't easy. Nope. It isn't easy one bit. But that is the point, isn't it? To Stand Tall when others have fallen. To believe in the Light when you can only see the Darkness. To Hope when there is no more Faith left. To Smile even when you have tears in your eyes. To Love even when all you receive is hate from others. To Choose even when there are no choices left ...

Take this from Me, I have done my share of everything. I have been down that road. I know what it feels like to have a heavy heart. To know what I am doing is wrong but still continue to do so because it was for My own benefit. So I know where I am coming from. And being this New Version of Myself hasn't been all roses. In fact, it has been just the opposite. I think that is Irony or some Sick Joke God is playing on Me. Everyday is a test for Me. Everyday I see Hatred hating Me more and Temptation tempting Me more. Seducing Me into it's Dark Abyss and I know how tempting it is. To say, Screw All These Rules and Self-Rightousness crap and just fall in. But No, I am not. No matter how hard it gets, I am still keeping My Stand. Even though it is the toughest thing that I have ever done, I still Choose to Stand Tall. I Choose the right thing. I Choose to Fight Back because I know that even though God may not be answering my Prayers right now, even though he may be avoiding Me, he has put Me in a place to grow. To Test Me. To make Me Strong. And most importantly, to see, Whether I Stand or Whether I Fall ...

There aren't many good people left in this world. And I am not saying I am good either. But I want to believe that someday I will. This Battle I am going through, is something I will always have to face. That, in a way, is My Fate. I know that Temptation, Greed, Hunger and Lust will always be there. But no matter how much they throw at Me, I will Choose to fight back. I know it will get lonely being where I am and where I am heading. But I know I can fight this. I know I can Stand Tall because in the end, when I die, when I face god, I wanna look at him in the eye and tell Him that I tried. I really tried. I fought back. Not because I had too but because I Chose too. I have made My Choice. The question is ... Have You Made Yours?

This is Me, Mahaakshay Chakraborty and this is My Choice ...

The Chakrabortys In Europe ...

Hello everyone! Or should I say that in Italian, German or French? Yes, The Chakrabortys are in europe and I all I can say is that we are having a great time over here! Yes, I am clicking a lot of Pics and you can check them out out on My twitter page which is @mahaakshay .I have to tell you, this place is lovely! We were in Austria a few days back and it was truly beautiful! Whether it was the weather, the ambience, the people, the culture, the scenic beuaty, everything was breath-taking! I know I always do My 'Feature' sections before I begin but this week, all I can tell you is how amazing these places are! Every 2-3 months we, as a family plan these holiday trips and we make sure that we visit all the places our feet can take us. And thanks to Dad, this time, we decided that we will visit Europe ... :-)

As I mentioned to you, we were in Vienna, Austria a few days back and the reason we went there was for Dad and Mom. When I was a year old, back in the day, Mom and Dad had gone there and they always told us how beautiful it was! To be honest, we didn't believe them until we went their ourselves and all the four of us had the same answer ... Beautiful! We visited the Famous Cathedral which is one of the most beautiful places to visit when you are in Vienna. We also visited the National Museum of History and also visited the Grand Palace and the Zoo which is supposed to be the oldest zoo in the world! Everyday, something new was in stored for us. Usually in these trips, My Younger Brother, Rimoh is the Navigator and I am the Handy Man. Our duo always finds things and gets the job done. We also do our 'Duo' walks around the hotel area as it is something we really cherish! And this time, My youngest Brother, Nama also tagged along with us! And just behind our hotel, I think 10mins away was the famous Shopping Lane which stretched from the Opera House, all the way to The Cathedral. So for My sister, Dishi, it was paradise, only 10mins away! We really enjoyed Vienna and something told Me when we left, that I will be visiting this City again ... For sure ... :-)

Since yesterday, we are in Rome. Of course, as all travellers who are new to a country, it took us time to settle in here and with it's surroundings. And speaking about Surroundings, our hotel is right opposite a very famous park and the city zoo! Now, how cool is that? :-) We visited The Vatican today and believe Me, no matter how amazing it looks in the Movies, seeing it, with your very eyes is another experience all together! We also visited the Famous Wishing Fountain and no, I can't tell what I wished for and after that, we visited The Pantheon, which for all of us, was more amazing than The Vatican because we were inside the Temple! I mean, I was in a place where once the Romans worshipped the Sun as their God! Even though, there were many people there, I could still feel the calmness in Me when I walked in the Temple and even Goosebumps! After that, we visited the City's Mall and all thanks to Google Translate, I was having one-sentence conversations with the cab driver. Although, what he said in Itatian, completely went over My head! :-)

We will be here in rome for a few more days and then we go to Paris. I will surely try to keep all of you updated with this trip of Mine. And before I go, all I want to say is that even though this is a Holiday trip, I have had a realization. That this world is so beautiful! It is filled with so many beautiful people and cultures and heritage. And all it will take for us to get along, is to be nice to each other! I try to be nice to whoever I meet. The question is ... Do you?

This is Me, Mahaakshay Chakraborty and I am now, with The Chakrabortys ... in Europe.

Trying To Be Good ...

Before I begin, I wanna ask, do you guys watch Wwe? If yes, then you must have absolutely heard the Theme Song of Randy Orton. The lyrics are, 'I hear voices in My head, they talk to Me, they understand, they talk to Me!'. You may ask Me, why will I write these lines and what reference do they have with this blog. Well, in the lines below, I will surely tell you just that. But before we continue, I think this week's Shout-Out Feature goes to Family. Yes, Family. No matter whatever we go through, we know that our Family will always be with us and give us their love and support. They will always stand by us even when the world turns their back to us and love and accept us, just the way we are. So to Families everywhere, stay together because trust me, there is no stronger bond, than that of Family! And My Song-Of-The-Week is 'Tonight' by Seether. Another Rock Song and the lyrics tell us that we have to live this very moment to the fullest and let go of all that we have done, good and bad and forgive ourselves and just for tonight embrace happiness as it is given to us. :-)

And now, we begin …

I have been writing My blogs for quite some time now and if you scroll backwards to all My entries, you will notice that I have been through My share of Pain, Anger, Rage and all those things the Darkness within you will make you go through. I have expressed Myself in My Blogs and even a part of Me wanted all of you to be just like Me. I thought, War is the answer! That Hate is everything and is pure. For a very long time the 'Voices' in My head kept on talking to Me and wanted Me to live by these notions. And I did just as ordered. But suddenly, since this year began, all those 'Voices' disappeared! Yes! I couldn't hear them anymore and I don't know why! I mean, no more 'voices' In My head, just, like, that! To be honest, I was petrified that I am left all alone and this is My Punishment. But as time went by, as the 'voices' never came back, I began to see the truth. That it was time for Me to feel, understand, accept and most importantly evolve to become a good person … :-)

And since that realization, I made a promise to Myself that I will become a good person. I will mend all wounds. And I will seek forgiveness for My sins. Trust Me guys, I have done My bit of bad in this existence of Mine. And I know that the only way I will find peace in the after life is by redeeming My sins while I am alive. And that is how My journey began towards My redemption. Trust Me, it isn't easy. People don't let go that easily. They always remember you for the pain you caused them. Not for the moments of happiness you shared with them. And no matter what people say, they don't forgive that easily either! They remind you of what you did and they never stop! In the midst of all of that anger and hatred they throw at you, it is very easy to slip into the madness and retaliate. To yell back and abuse. To become bad. But I ask you, if I do that, what will be the difference between Me and them? That is where god sees the divide between good and evil. God tests your goodness by putting you through the toughest of hardships because he wants to see what we Stand for and we can fall for. Trying to be a good person isn't easy. Take it from Me. But no matter how tough it gets, in the end, after all that you go through, trust Me, it feels great that you stood tall against all that adversity! :-)

For the record, I am not trying to be good because I am scared of Kamra. Nope. Personally, I don't believe in the circle of karma because I have seen people hurting others and they get away with it and live life to the fullest! While the innocents and ask for justice but Karma, for some reason doesn't respond. So no, this isn't fear. This is a realization that My time has come to become a better version of Myself. Of becoming someone I thought I could had never been. I don't know how you see this world but I have seen My share and gone through it too and it is filled with people all of types and means. The ones, who only want to gossip. The ones who only want attention. The ones who are never grateful. The ones who are only negative. But I ask you again, if a guy like Me, who only believed in Hate, can now change, evolve, love and only see the good in people, then why can't all of you too?

So before I go I just wanna say, it is not easy being good. Trust Me, it is one of the toughest challenges I am going through! But it's worth it! I know that people out there will stay hate Me. They will stay have their complaints. And they will never forgive Me. But I will not retaliate. I will always ask for Forgiveness. I will always be the friend in need. I will wait for redemption. I will see the good in them because I know that there is good in all of us.I will show them the positive side of life. I will never give in to My Monsters and one day, all those Monsters will go away. And every time I am faced with Hate, I will Rise Above it because as Lord Buddha said, "Hate Doesn't Kill Hate. Only Love Can Kill Hate!". So My friends, you see, this is Me trying to be good. The question is are you?

This is Me, Mahaakshay Chakraborty and this is My Journey of being a better 'Me' …

Best. Weekend. EVER !!!

Hello once again My Readers. As you all know I am a Sunday Blogger and so the question arises why am I writing this week's blog on a Monday? Well, the answer is in the Title. Best, Weekend, Ever !!! So, to give the title justice, I had to write this Blog after the weekend because in the lines below, you will know why this weekend was My best ever to date! :-) But before we go ahead, we have to do the necessary 'Feature' sections and this is week's Shout-Out feature goes to Movies. Yes, My Bread and Butter. I love everything about Movies and recently, I have been watching Movies of all languages and I am discovering how deeply Movies affect us in our day to day lives and how important they are for us too! This week's Song-Of-The-Week is 'Put Your Hearts Up' by Ariana Grande. It is a beautiful song which tells us that only if we are strong and don't fear love, we can all, together, make this world a beautiful place! :-)

And now, we begin …

If you go on twitter and follow all those jokes and facts and true tales, you will see 99.9% of those tweets referring to weekends as the 'Party Zone' or as the 'Heavenly Break'. Before, I could never relate to those tweets nor to those people. I used to think, why is the weekend so damn important for all those people? I couldn't understand them until I, Myself went through this 'Weekend Frenzy'!!! But before the actual events, we must know, how it all came into place. So we must go back to the point of origin. And for Me, My origin was Tukkaa Fitt. :-) We were, for quite sometime planning to unveil the 1st look of Tukka Fitt to the world in a very grand way. All of us, who were a part of the project knew that we have a great product in our hands and we have to do justice to it by giving it a grand 1st look party! So, the preparations began. We had meetings after meetings, deciding the venue, the guest list, the clothes, the time of the event even to the perfect menu of the food for the guests. And this wednesday, we met for the 'final' meeting before d-day and everything was set. But after all the planning and preparations came the numbness and nervousness and fear, all wrapped up before d-day, which I think, we all were going through …

I am still very young in the Bollywood Industry and for Me, every Movie feels as it is the 1st one! So before the D-Day event, I think a couple of hours before itself, I went completely blank! I wasn't feeling anything! I mean, all My systems where shut down due to the nervousness which was taking over Me! As Actors, all we want is acceptance and appreciation by the people because that is what keeps us going! So all My thoughts were fixated to the event. And the questions were pouring in. Will they all like my look? Will they like the Trailer? Will they come and congratulate Me? Even when I was on the way, these thoughts were dominating Me. But as soon as I was there, as soon as I started talking to the press, as soon as we unveiled the 1st Look Poster, as soon as we showed everyone the 1st Trailer of the Film, as soon as I heard the claps and the accolades, I was smiling and relaxed and so so very happy! The 1st step was complete and we all did a damn good job to make it happen! Mostly, all those who I invited showed up to support Me! I thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your blessings and best wishes! And I am so very sorry if I couldn't attend to all of you personally as there were so many people! And the ones who couldn't make it, I know you must have your reasons. So for Me, Friday, the Eve of the Weekend, was a Super Success! But I had no idea that there were still some more awesome moments awaiting Me … :-)

I had no idea what I wanted to do on Saturday. I thought I would just chill and let the day take Me forward. But since morning, I started receiving messages from all over, telling me that they loved the 1st Look Poster and they were loving the 1st look Promo as well! I didn't expect all of that, so of course I was quite over-whelmed and over-joyed! And because of the state I was in, I decided to go out and celebrate. Yes, Me, going out and celebrating! Trust Me, Happiness does strange things to people! :-) So I decided to take My friends and go out and just enjoy and we did just that! We went for shopping and Dinner and a drive all the way to town and we also got the chance to see the Vagina Monologues which, according to Me, was one of the best shows I have seen as those amazing women perfectly blended Comedy with Satire and the hardcore truths of what women really go through! My salute to them once again! So in the midst of all those laughs and jokes and plays and shopping and drives, we had no idea that it was already mid-night! By the time we came home, we had our hearts full of joy and happiness and I know it was a day well spent … :-)

I know sunday is usually the day when reality starts to hit us again, reminding us that Monday, is only a few hours away and that, we have to go back to Work and all our responsibilities but for Me, Sunday was as awesome as Saturday because lucky Me, I got to hear 2 Movie Scripts, Celebrate Mother's Day with My Mom, who is in fact, the greatest Mom in the whole wide world, over lunch and then have the entire sunday evening to unwind in My Couch, playing the PS3! So yes, for Me, this was the Best, Weekend, Ever because it truly was! I got to be happy, spread the happiness and live the moments! Sometimes, life surprises us in more ways than one and instead of fearing that this moment won't come again, we should embrace the moment and live it to the fullest! I did just that and that is why I am happy, even on a Monday. :-) And trust Me, I know that when I am giving My 100% to the Job at hand, I don't have to go and look for happiness … As happiness will come and find Me. :-)

This is Me, Mahaakshay Chakraborty and this was My Best. Weekend. EVER !!! The question is, which was yours?

The Good In The Bad ...

Hello once again My friends. I must say in advance that this blog is somewhat a very intense one as I am tapping into something I never did before. So I hope by the end of it I make sense and cross the message. And I saw Aamir khan's Show Satyamev Jayate today and I was completely moved! This is the kind of show our channels need! To cross the message to the one billion citizens of this country so that we can help each other! My Salutes to Aamir Khan and the Show's Creative Team! And before we go ahead I dedicate this week's Shout-Out Feature to All My Fans! Yes, all you out there! Thank you so very much for the love! It is a great Support to have all of you with Me, every step of the way and I thank you all from the bottom of My heart for the unconditional love you give Me everyday! :-) And this week's Song-Of-The-Week is 'Everything's Gonna Be Alright' by Enrique Iglesias. The lyrics are beautiful as they say that no matter where you are and what you are going through, in the end, everything is going to be ok. :-)

And now we begin ...

Recently I visited My house in Coimbatore for My daily trips down south and I decided that I will clean My room as I have a lot of memories attached to it and as I was doing that I stumbled upon all My old diaries and I started reading them, page by page and I was completely amazed by Myself! I mean, I was laughing at Myself, smiling and also happy to relive all those memories. But with all those memories I had one constant shadow lurking. It was the shadow of Darkness, anger and hatred. I never knew that I had so much of Hatred in Me and that also from such an early age! And that really had got Me thinking that I have evolved and changed so much since I wrote those diaries! I have been through so much and learnt so much! And now, I can proudly say that I am on the road in becoming a better human being. But all good always comes from the bad and I will tell you why ...

I have always believed in aggression. In force. In Power, Fear and the plan of Attack. I was the one who believed that Love doesn't exist and Hate will always prevail. I lived by this code so very much that I forgot who I was! I lost My identity and there was a point I couldn't recognize My own reflection! I became so dark and so full of this madness that My own conscious slipped away and in this process I became very selfish and only thought of Myself. I thought that the entire world is selfish and so I should be too! For Me, everyone was the enemy and in time the inevitable happened ... I started hurting the people who truly loved Me! I didn't care for anyone's feelings and emotions! It was only Me, Me and Me! This process was going well. I was getting all that I wanted and I thought what I am doing is right. But then, finally, on one sunny afternoon, in the silence after the chaos, My conscious finally spoke to Me. And after what it told Me, I  knew there was no looking back for Me ...

It said, what you are doing is wrong. I said No! This is the way! They don't care and they will leave like they always do! And then it said, look around you. Just look around you and see what you have! And I did just that and all I could do after that was cry! Cry like I never cried before because I didn't see Hate ... I saw Love! Love from My Family who will always be with Me. Love from my friends who will always fight for Me and stand by Me. Love from all of you who take out time to read these blogs! There was love all over and I smiled and felt happiness like I never did! I felt the purity of love and I realized that Love is so powerful! It is unstoppable and it will embrace you, only if you give it a chance. Love can heal all wounds. Love can change you. Love can make everything happen. Love can set you free. And love can make you good from the bad ...

And that is why today I am a changed man. I am in the process of becoming the best version of Myself. My anger has gone. There is no more hate inside of Me. I am learning to forgive and forget. To all those who hate, I am learning to love them for I know each of them is fighting a battle just like Me. For all those love Me, I am making extra efforts to make them feel special. And I wanna make everyone smile. I want people to feel special and cared and appreciated. I want to change the world, one soul at a time. I confess, I have done some terrible things in My existence here on this planet. I have hurt a lot of people. Intentionally and unintentionally. I have done things for which there is no forgiveness and I know that there are people out there who will never forgive Me for that. But I ask you all for Forgiveness. I ask for your Love. I ask for another chance. I ask for Salvation. Maybe, just maybe, I will find redemption in this process ...

So before I go, all I want to say is that there is love in everything and in everyone. All we have to do is find it. I found the Love in Me and now all I want to do is Spread the Love. The question is what are you going to do?

This is Me, Mahaakshay Chakraborty and this is My journey towards Forgiveness ...

The Act Of Defiance ...

Hello once again My readers. Hope you all are in good spirits. I know I am. I had a very busy day. I had 4 meetings back to back and I must say, all of them were very productive. I make it a point that after a Good day of Work, I make My brain 'divert' from My regular activities by playing Video Games and trust Me, that really helps to have a fresh and clearer perspective. I did just that before I started writing this Blog. And this week's Song-Of-The-Week is 'Pay Phone' by Maroon 5. The lyrics are meaningful as they tell us about Life and Fairy tales in a very rock-infused way. And this week's Shout-Out feature goes to Friends. Yes, friends in general. I have come to understand that even Friendship is a responsibility and it requires time, communication and care. And for the very 1st time in My life I am taking those steps to safe guard My friendship and grow it more especially with My bestie Sabah. Sabah, thanks for making Me a better man than I was yesterday and teaching Me the true meaning of Friendship. And My readers, I urge you to read the book, titled, 'The Magic' as it is truly life-changing. Since I have started reading it, My life is taking the turn for the better and I can feel it happening every single moment! :-)

And now, we begin …

Defiance … That very word has so much of weight. So much of power and meaning. But for Me, it is more than just a word you will find in the dictionary. For Me, it is a way of life. I remember, a couple of years back, Me and My Family where going to Bandra for some work and there were many Posters and Hoardings of this very big Superstar all across the city and My Mom, just before we were about to reach told Me, that this guy is truly such a big superstar! And I just looked at her and said, "Mom, he is a man and so, he can be Beaten!". My Mom just smiled but I know what she told Me in that smile of hers. She said, "I am impressed. You have heart." And I tell you today, Heart is all that you need. We all are here, fighting for what we want. We all have dreams and desires and countless other things in our wish list. So the question is, why do only a few of those people get what they want and the remaining just wait and wait and wait? The answer is simple … They dare and they Defy! Yes, history itself is proof that only the few who were brave enough to challenge the odds and did what every one thought they couldn't do, are the ones, who are remembered in our history books. Those men just didn't believe in themselves, they also believed in the act of Defiance!

As you know, I learn Mixed Martial Arts {MMA} as a professional sport and in Mma there is only one rule. Never underestimate your opponent. He may be the short guy or the new one but he is your opponent and he is here to win as much as you are. One right hook on the temple and you are counting stars. That is why, whenever we Spar or Fight, I always imagine My Mma friends as My vicious opponents and I hit as hard as I can because I always imagine Myself as the guy no one is betting on because they think I will loose but before you know it, I am the guy who beats the crowd favorite with the right uppercut, right at the jaw because I wasn't afraid of him! For me, he was just an ant, I had to squash! So I ask you, why give others that 'High' stature when we can reach greater heights than them!?! Why make them invincible and god-like when in the end, they are just like you and Me!?! Why put them in a place where we think we can never reach, while all it takes is to find the correct ladder!?! Why make them more than Human Beings when in the end they bleed the color red too!?! I ask you, why, why and why!?! Trust Me My readers, no one and I mean no one can be better than you without your consent! And sometimes, more than defying others, we have to defy ourselves and most importantly, our thoughts …

I read some where, that In Order To Be The Best, You Have To Beat The Best! Well, how will that happen if you keep on giving your opponents and competition that 'high' stature? That will only happen when you see them eye to eye and tell them that you are not afraid and yes, you will enter the ring and yes, you will fight because you have the will and the power of defiance with you! And I tell you, in order to win, all you have to say is, "I Will Fight You!". Yes, to all those men who think they are better, I will fight you! To all those who are corrupt and make evil run in this world, I will fight you! To all those tyrants and dictators, I will fight you! And to even the gods, who hold our destinies, I WILL FIGHT YOU! Even gods bow down to those who have the courage and the will to defy them! Then who are humans compared to the gods?!? No man, is better than you. No man ever will be. And no man, was ever supposed too. That is the true law of the universe. That is the way it was always meant to be …

I maybe repetitive when it comes to the entire 'Keep-On-Fighting' factor in all of My Blogs but that is who I am. I am a Fighter and I am not afraid because I will keep on fighting. I will keep on fighting until there is no one left to fight. I will not stop until I have defeated all those who I want to defeat. I will not stop until I prove to the whole world that yes, the other guy has the entire fleet behind him but I will beat him with only My Will and the Power Of Defiance! So before I go, all I want to say is that people will not agree with you. They will not even support you and some may think, you are crazy to go against Immortals, Titans and Gods! But do you, for the rest of your life, want to be the person who waited and never got his opportunity because you were too scared or are you the one, who defied the Odds and stood tall by The Act Of Defiance …

This is Me, Mahaakshay Chakraborty and this is My Act Of Defiance. The question is, what is yours?

If I Wasn't Mahaakshay Chakraborty ...

This has been one busy week for Me. I got back from Down South, had a Mind-Blowing Photo Shoot with Luv Israni and had 4 Meetings back to back and now, I am recovering from a Fever. But all in all, a very good and progressive week! Touchwood! And I must say Thank You, Thank You, Thank You because in the Book titled The Magic, it says the more we are Grateful for what we get, the more we are always given in return. So yes, I am truly Grateful! And this week's Song-Of-The-week is 'When We Stand Together' from the Rock Band Nickelback. I have forgotten how many times I have heard that Song as the lyrics touch Me every time I hear it and sometimes, I keep the Song on Repeat throughout the day! And My Shout-Out feature definitely goes to Nickelback for giving us such great music …

And now, we begin …

First things first, I love Myself! Yes I do! Everything about Me! Whether it is My life, My looks, My Family and everything else that is in between life and death, I love it! And yes, I am truly blessed to be Mahaakshay Chakraborty! So, for the ones who presume things before knowing or reading, no, I am not sad nor depressed. I am Great and I am loving it! And this is neither escapism nor this is Me wanting to be some one else or running away from my responsibilities. This is Me, trying to find those answers which intrigue Me. Which force Me to ask questions. And which guide Me to places I thought I never could had gone. We all are unique and we all are different, that is why the thoughts I get are different than the ones you get. So I have always asked Myself, who am I? And what is My true purpose here? I am happy to tell you that I have gotten almost 90% of those answers but 10% still remain and they have been left unanswered for a very long time. So I asked Myself another question. Why aren't these answers being answered? And then, it finally hit Me. That for these answers, I can't be Mahaakshay. I can't be a Guy who is living and Working and doing what others do, I have to be somebody else entirely and then I asked the one question which made perfect sense came to Me … What If I Wasn't Mahaakshay Chakraborty ??? …

When we were kids, our imagination used to run wild! We were so many things at once! One day, we were cops, the others we were super heroes! It's like our Imagination drank 6 cans of Red Bull per second! But as we grew up, we grew out of all of that because people told us that we have start 'getting real' and practical and mature. But amongst all those crazy imagination worlds, one always stayed with you and no matter how much you tried to let it go, it always found it's way back to you. I tell you today, that, that world isn't all fantasy, it is Real! Yes, it is! I know you will ask Me, how and why and I will tell you, it's because Our Thoughts are who we are and our thoughts turn into actions! I don't know about you but If I wasn't Mahaakshay, I would had been a Soldier. Yes, a certified, bonified, hard-core, on your face, ass-kicking Soldier! I don't know but there is something about putting on a Uniform and following Orders and fulfilling one's Duty which really makes Me feel so very good! I can't describe the feeling but all I can say is that in the midst of all the Action, I find My Peace. I know, you must be thinking that this is a guy who plays a lot of Video Games and now thinks that he can actually be a Soldier in real! To be honest a part of that is right. I do play a lot of Video Games and it really feels good to have the volume on max and hear gun shots left to right and to be in the fight! But I think it has truly to do a lot with Honor. A lot with Duty and being Disciplined and Dedicated and a True patriot. A 27 Year Old guy who thinks he can change he world just by being a Soldier …

I have always believed what Gandhiji said, That we are the change we want to see in the world. Even today, whenever I go to the Movies, I stand in Attention and Sing the National Anthem and don't sit until the Indian Flag goes away from the screen, while I hear others condemning the very fact that they have to stand up for 2mins! I still believe that there is Hope for this Country where corruption rules every nick and corner. I still believe that one day we, who truly are the future of this country will make a difference. I think these thoughts not by being Mahaakshay but by being the Soldier I think I can be. Sometimes, to find ourselves, we have to let go of ourselves completely and walk in the darkness with not even a candle in our hands but have faith that the next step is where we will find our enlightenment. I think I am still walking in that Darkness and when I am alone with My thoughts, I am not Mahaakshay Chakraborty. I am that Soldier who wants to fight, who loves to fight and who wants to finally find peace in the midst of madness …

So before I go all I want to say is this, we are who we are because our thoughts make us so. But the question is this, do you let your thoughts just randomly go through that head of yours, or do you find the meaning behind them? Are you daring to let go of yourself in order to find yourself? I guess I am a Soldier because even when I am Mahaakshay, I am Fighting and doing My bit to see change in this Country and in this World. The Question is … What are you doing?

This is Me, Mahaakshay Chakraborty. Actor/Soldier. So. Who. Are. You?

The Walking Dead Revelation ...

Hello once again My readers. It is that time of the week once again when I sit down for an Hour and type down My thoughts and share them with you. I must confess, in a week's time, a billion thoughts come into mind and I really get confused as to which will be the best topic to discuss. But one way or the other, I always get something to write, which is a good thing. You know, since I am a weekly blogger, I can't afford to have a 'writer's block' or should I say, 'Blogger's Block'. I am right now in Mysore. Staying in Our Hotel, The Monarch Mysore. And as always I will urge you all to go and checkout our website, www.mithunhotels.com and think about visiting our Properties. And this week, I add one more feature, which is the 'Song of the Week' feature as I am a die-hard fan of Music. So this week's Song-Of-The-Week is 'The Fighter' from the band Working Class Heroes. Try to listen to it and especially hear the lyrics. It will awe-inspire you! 

And now we begin …

First things first. I am a major Zombie fan! I try to watch all the zombie films whenever I can. In fact, right now, I am playing Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City on the PS3 and I must say, it's quite fun to have an arsenal of weapons at your disposal and kill Zombies! Don't know why IGN gave it only 4 Stars. And speaking of Zombies, I am right now watching The Walking Dead Season 1 and I must say, it is one of the best shows I have seen! No, no, I am not campaigning for the Show and neither I am going to give you an analogy on Zombies. Well, to be honest, there is nothing to say about Zombies. They are just Undead Creatures who seek for Human Flesh. But as I said, this blog isn't about them. It is actually what I noticed in between the lines. In between the chaos and the violence and the madness and the post-apocalyptic scenario of The Walking Dead. That no matter how shitty the world may get, we have the courage to have Hope and the Strength to believe that there is still good in us. And what separates us from zombies is not only the Will to Survive but also Strength to Dream that one day, everything is going to be alright …

To be honest, I have always been the Guy who will has chosen Hate over love and I have believed that Fear triumphs over everything. So you must be asking Me, how this sudden change? There are many reasons. One may be that because of all this Traveling, I am engrossed in My thoughts so I am getting more Answers than usual. The other may be 'The 'Magic' book which I am reading which is making Me realize that there are so many things I am truly grateful for. And of course the other thing would be The Walking Dead, which I am watching right now. I can't pin point exactly what it is but I am glad this change is happening. I am starting to realize that more than the world, I was angry at Myself. That this anger was only killing Me slowly from inside. It was making Me something I never wanted to become. And all I had to do was switch off the Anger Button and Switch On the Love, Care and Belief Button. And since I have done that, I am feeling so good about myself. I am feeling lighter, fresher and happier. I am killing My super ego by being nice to people I never was and appreciating who ever is there in My life. Trust Me, my readers, sometimes the things which we think our impossible to accomplish, require the least amount of efforts … :-)

As I mentioned many a times before, I'm not here to preach. I am just sharing with you My evolution. And trust Me, it isn't easy. It takes time. The transition from who you are to who you want to be. People are still the same with Me. They don't care. They don't appreciate and they don't even bother. I know they will stay hate Me, call Me names and find Me boring. But I don't want to be like them. I want to change. I want to be a better person. I want to be a believer. I confess, I have done some bad things in my life time too. I have given pain to people, made others cry and also made them feel miserable. And I guess, this is My road to Redemption. Every one deserves a Second Chance and I think I do too. I want to believe that there is still good in this world and more importantly, there is still good in Me. People may think that this is the year when the world will come to an end. Where Tsunamis are happening, countries are launching missiles and the people are rising against their governments, one must think that there is no such thing as Hope. But I say there is. Hope will always be there, for it is our greatest strength. The dream of a better future for our children is still alive in us. We just have to find it. Remember this, people may not believe in you but you should never stop believing in them because sometimes that is all that they need. Someone reminding them of the good they possess. As Rocky said in Rocky:4, "If I can change and you can change, then everybody can change!" :-)

It took it's own sweet time but what did I know that a bunch of zombies from The Walking Dead will make Me realize that I am not that bad after all. I found my revelation or should I say, 'The Walking Dead Revelation' and I hope you find your revelation too. For each one is special and remember, if we can hate, we can also love. And we can forgive others, we can forgive ourselves too. As John Cena says every week when he faces a hostile crowd, "I know you all hate Me and you want Me to hate you back but I will never give in to the hate. For I believe in all of you that one day you will change, as I have always believed in Myself." I have to go for a Staff Meeting now and after that, I have to watch The Walking Dead. So I ask you this, are you the person who will just exist and hate like others or will become the change this world wants? Will you give others a second chance? And most importantly, will you ever forgive yourself and one day find redemption or just lay there, in your own hate …

This is Me, Mahaakshay Chakraborty and I am a Zombie Fan. The Question is, who are you?

Here Comes The Fighter ...

Hello once again My readers. Before we begin I want to tell you how happy I am. And there are many reasons I am happy. But I am the happiest today is because My Dad's Film, Housefull:2 has been declared a Huge Hit and My Dad is getting a lot of praise and appreciation for His performance in the Film! Just how every father feels proud of his son, even every son feels the same and today, I am so proud and so blessed to be the Son of Mr.Mithun Chakraborty. And I am right now Filming the last schedule of Enemmy. And it has been an amazing experience! When I am on the Sets, I feel alive and as I have mentioned this a billion times before, Work is Worship for Me and I wanna Work until I die! And this week's Shout-Out Feature goes to MUSIC. Yes, Music. I think I am nothing without my Music and My Music has saved and defined Me in more ways than one! And half of My Blogs have been inspired from My Music!

And now, we begin ...

No one likes the Loser. No one wants to know who came second. Everybody wants to win. Everyone wants to triumph. And as humans we have the capability to do whatever it takes to win. Cross limits we never imagined we had the courage to cross. Do things we thought we never had the strength to do and sometimes even sacrifice a few of our dreams for the bigger ones. But today I ask you, what is more important? The satisfaction of winning by any means necessary or Fighting? Fighting with all of your might and standing toe to toe with your opponent, looking at him in the eye and telling him, that you ain't afraid? For a guy like Me, it has always been the latter. It has always been about Fighting. I have been writing My blogs for so long now and I know by now you guys must have figured out My story or at least a part of it. That what kind of a guy I am and what My dreams and passions are and where I am heading. But the truth is, I am still figuring out Myself. I am still knowing my strengths and weaknesses. Knowing where I stand and where I fall and I know that this journey of Mine will never end. But in the midst of all of this soul searching one fact remains the same ... That I was fighting back then, I am fighting now and I will always keep on fighting ...

Just a few days back, I was invited by My Voice Modulation Teacher, Mr.Sutinder Singh, to watch a Play he had directed. The play was amazing and so were all the actors involved in it. But the crowd was so hostile towards them! I mean, they were not even letting them say their dialogues! They were booing them and taunting them and insulting them. But no matter what the crowd threw at them, they kept on going and did the entire play! At the end, I personally went and met all the Actors and congratulated them and saluted them for their passion and for the way they stood up against a hostile crowd! You see, they fought and they came out winning! In My eyes, they were winners because they didn't stop, they didn't give in. They kept on going and trust Me, I saw Myself in each and every one of them!

I have been called many names. I have been told many things. People out there still hate Me and my guts and some wish that I didn't even exist. But guess what? I am still here. And I will still be here. You know why? Because I believe. I believe in My dreams and I am ready to fight for them. I love Movies. I love everything about them and I will do whatever it takes to be here. Sure, the path is not easy. Trust Me, nothing is more harder than life but that is what life is all about. It is not about existing. It is about Living! And the only way you can do that is by Fighting for what you truly believe in. Everyday when I am wake up I am going to war against nearly 7 billion people for something I believe in. And there are times when that takes a toll on Me. I am Human too, I do get knocked out with those 7 billion punches. I do fall down. I do get that "Lights-Out" feeling from time to time. But every time, I have stood up. Every time, I have fought back. And it is not because I have too, it is because I want too. It is because I choose too ...

I have My Faith and it is my Faith that gives Me the strength to keep on fighting because I know that the more I fight, the more I stand tall, the more I come closer in making all of My dreams come true. And I know that not everyone will love Me, not everyone will like Me but they will, without a shadow of a doubt, respect Me. They will know, deep down inside of their hearts that this is no ordinary man, this is a man who can't be beaten. This Man may not be a winner in our eyes but yes, He is A Fighter. And they will talk among themselves, when they will see Me walk towards them, "Here Comes The Fighter!" So before I end this blog, I ask you this question, how do you want to be remembered by? The person who won or as the person who everyone remembers because of your struggles, of your sacrifices, of your hardships, of your will to succeed, of your will to keep on fighting even when you didn't have the strength to go on?

This is Me, Mahaakshay Chakraborty and I am a Fighter. The question is ... Who Are You?
