The Christmas Celebration in Hindi Films

December 24, 2017 0 Comments

Merry Christmas to All

I Pick Those Rare Delightful Christian Characters, Which Brought A Smile To Our Lips.It is really very strange that the Christian Community Is Generally Depicted As The One High On Drinks And Parties. In contrast to that one character of kind-hearted but talkative landlady, Mrs. D'sa played by Lalita Pawar  from the 1959 film Anari comes to our mind.


Anthony Gonsalves of Amar Akbar Anthony played by Amitabh Bachchan The character became so popular that men began sporting the colourful vests and the metal cross worn by Bachchan in the film, irrespective of their religion.

 Who can forget the Goan Christian fisherman father, Jack Braganza (Prem Nath) of Bobby 1973. His loud and affectionate nature and his joie-di-vivre made him an instant hit. 


How can we forget the film Julie released in 1975.Based around an Anglo-Indian family, the film even had a full-fledged English song My heart is beating sung by Preeti Sagar. The film also dealt with religious prejudices that exist between communities..

There was a film Baaton baaton mein (1979) the film had the backdrop of a Christian home.Rosie Perreira (Pearl Padamsee)) is an anxious widow who wants her daughter Nancy (Tina Munium) to marry at the earliest. Tony Braganza (Amol Palekar) is introduced to her on the train as they commute to work.
 
Based on Erich Segal’s Love Story, ‘Ankhiyon Ke Jharokhon Se’ had Sachin and Ranjeeta playing college students who fall in love but the latter succumbs to cancer in the end. Ranjeeta played a devoted Catholic girl, Lily Fernandes who stays with her mother and reforms Sachin. A film that became one of the sleeper hits of 1978.

Saeed Mirza’s ‘Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyon Aata Hai?’ revolved around Albert played brilliantly by Naseeruddin Shah who is a car mechanic and loses his temper now and then. Naseer’s portrayal as Albert, the typical Anglo Indian Christian got a lot of critical acclaim and is counted as one of his most memorable roles to date.

Remember the Commissioner D’Mello of Jane Bhi Do Yaron.Satish Shah played a corrupt commissioner who receives bribes to pass projects by builders. He happens to get murdered as he is towed and chased by all the characters in the film. Every scene is a treat.

Jennifer Pinto aka Jenny played by Katrina Kaif  in Ajab Prem Ki Gazab Kahani is considered as one of her most memorable roles in her decade long career.  Ranbir Kapoor playing Prem who falls in love with a Christian girl - Jenny, but she loves someone else.

Song from Julie 1975


Song from Amar Akbar Anthony 1977


Song from Baton Baton Mein 1979


Song from Shandaar1974

Heading into Christmas in Kilcullen

December 21, 2017 0 Comments
A reminder of a few things happening in town that will firmly put the Christmas weekend into effect, writes Brian Byrne.

The Bridge Camphill annual Santa Sleigh Ride through the town (above) will take place tomorrow, Friday, at 5pm.

And tomorrow night, the Carols by Candlelight celebration in Brannockstown Baptist Church will feature a specially convened Community Choir, at 7pm in one of the most atmospheric church locations in the area. Always a busy evening, so get your place early.

Through Saturday, the Vincent's Shop will be raising toasts and generally festive cheer-making for all the wonderful people who have supported the shop through the year, and helped make the life of struggling families a little easier.



An Tearmann's Christmas bellringing event will take place on Saturday also, at 6pm. All friends and customers are invited to join the musicians and staff for punch and mince pies and some storytelling in what has become a regular tradition for many in the town.

The Lions Christmas Appeal begins tomorrow, Friday, and will continue through until and including Christmas Eve, at the usual storefront locations.

And while you're passing through the town, take a detour to admire the Christmas tree in Market Square, which had some decorations placed on it yesterday by children from the Kilcullen Community Childcare and Education Centre.

By the way, the Christmas edition of The Bridge is also on sale, and packed full of news and interesting features, as well as advertisements for various shops and services in Kilcullen which makes it a very useful issue to keep in a drawer for when you need something done or provided in a hurry.

As always, the Diary will be taking it easier for the few days over Christmas, but if anything of serious import occurs, we'll be ready to report it. Meantime, have a great Christmas, everyone.

Bridge Community Christmas Eve play

December 18, 2017 0 Comments
A special Christmas Eve play and tree lighting ceremony will take place in the Artaban Hall at the Bridge Community at 5pm on Sunday 24 December, writes Mischa Fekete.

This is a very special tradition in The Bridge Community where the young coworkers and some residents have prepared a beautiful play for all to start of their Christmas proper.

There will be a moment when the candles on the Christmas Tree are lit and if you bring a lantern with a candle you can light your own candle and bring it home with you to your own house.

It would be lovely to see as many of you there as can make it so that we have an audience. Please be well on time and remember that we all leave the hall in silence to go home, while Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, kings and others sing 'Silent Night'.

Looking forward to see you there

HOW TO: PINK CHRISTMAS DECOR

December 17, 2017 0 Comments
Hi everyone! As a part of my holiday decor series, this post will show how to make your Christmas room an ultimately 2017 one, all in pink tones.

As usual, we're avoiding Starbazaar and trying to choose items that will cost us an arm and a leg. That's why we're starting with choosing an interior ~wisely~. I'd suggest something like these, light and with some windows to show outdoors:
Now, the centerpiece, the tree. You might go ultimately pink with a pile of boxes from Kitsch, pick a blue pine from Film Theory or get your self a classy green tree like mine from 'Tis The Season.
We'll also need some furniture to make a room guest-ready. I've opted for light/clear pieces like these (but there are many, many other options in Plaza,like pink sofas and pink bar stools).
Not to the most fun part, filling the room with little cute things! We're hanging a ceiling light and some garlands...
...adding some textiles to make the room pinker and cozier...


...and also decorating the tree, setting the table, and well, creating some Christmas-ey vibe in the room!

And that's it! We're ready to celebrate the holidays with our nice and rosy room! I made mine two slightly different ways:
What do you think? 
What your pink holiday room would look like?
