We Miss You Shammi!

Jai Chiranjeeva!!

I am one among those fans who used "HEY CHIRU" atleast 10 times in day describing people whome i wanted to say you look like her. That is the image of Chiranjeevin i had in my heart. I grew up watching Chiranjeevi movies and i always admidered him. Even till three years back, I was riding high with pride and royalty. The reason for that is I am one of those many individuals who considered you as our demigod.

While I am not shy to admit that I am still your big fan, your recent acts have disturbed me completely and I am repeatedly feeling like asking you only one question- Why do you do this? From an emperor of Tollywood for two decades, today you are at the mercy of a foreigner and have lost your identity. Is this really necessary for you?

Even today, I know there are many like me who still follow you and draw inspiration from you, but while we are keen on making you sit on a golden throne, you are going and is sitting in dung. With you in comparison, I may have limited knowledge but this I say with full confidence, don’t get into politics, don’t keep giving conflicting statements, don’t confuse others. If you come today also into films, we will pray for you and will give you the same glory that you always had.

And it pains to see your recent statements. Sometimes you say you quit films and in no time you say you are rethinking. On the first hand, why should you even declare about anything. What will happen to many like me if you just end things with a statement. Once again I am saying, please don’t think you will shine big in politics like you did in films. That’s a dirty gamble you are playing. Kindly come back to us and we will make up for all the bitter experiences you had in the last two-three years.

Either you stick to your word correctly or never give a word. But by not doing both, you are putting people like me in embarrassment. I still take pride in being your fan but if you only keep doing some doodle things then where will I stand? Chiru..you were…you are…you always will be…our megastar. There is still time for you to make amends. Please do that and make us proud. Jai Chiranjeeva!!

Why is family important?

Through family we find ourselves as we give and receive support.

Family brings out the best and worst in each of us. As we yield to and serve others we learn to love them and ourselves in the process. Many of us could never approach this form of selflessness in any other way. There is something about a mother or a father, a son or a daughter. There is a connection there that binds us and asks more of us then we are normally willing to give. When we are true to ourselves and follow our feelings and share openly and honestly with our loved ones we remember why family is important. And we are well rewarded for our sacrifice as it enables us to better appreciate who we are. On the other hand, when we yield to our selfishness and take our family members for granted or treat them poorly we lose our sense of self-worth and begin to despise those whom we once loved.

In our day-to-day interactions with our family we find out by our words and actions what kind of a person we are and what's most important to us. The character Levin in Anna Karenina put his family first and found himself through faith in God focused by his suffering. In the story he explained, "my life now, my whole life, independent of anything that can happen to me ... every minute of it is no longer meaningless as it was before but has a positive meaning of goodness with which I have the power to invest it." This "positive meaning of goodness" that Leo Tolstoy began to unravel in Levin's life with the birth of his son can be acquired by each of us as we strengthen our own family relationships.

Our families hold the keys to understanding and appreciating ourselves. Who can relate better to us then our own brother or sister that shared so many experiences with us? Who can love us more selflessly then our own mother or father who sacrificed daily for so many years to raise us? The better we understand our parents and siblings the better we understand ourselves. This understanding is most completely achieved as we look to our family's heritage with the help of our oldest living relatives. By discovering the customs, practices and traditions of our ancestors we uncover truths about our parents and ourselves. We find out how our grandparents treated our parents and so on from generation to generation. We discover the ambitions and fears of our forefathers along with their failures and triumphs. In the process of learning our family history we uncover our past, understand our present and shape our future.

Family is important because we are important and we need a group of loyal supporters. It matters what we think and feel and nobody cares more about us than the members of our families - at least, that's how it should be and it starts with us. The better we are to our spouses, children, parents or siblings etc. the more they will want to be better to us. When we can count on each other and lean on each other then family works. If we waltz in on family when it's good for us and run out when it's bad for us then we're not doing our part and will not find fulfillment there or elsewhere. Family is not only for our pleasure or entertainment but for all facets of life: for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do we part - we need a family and that family needs us. When we support our families we find ourselves supported.
