Parveen Babi: a Perfumed Body

[sulochanosho]

I heard that the 'fire' friends of UG couldn't resist meeting at the
residence of K. Chandrasekhar, in Bangalore on 22nd March (2008), the
day a year ago UG said good bye to his mortal body. As we all know,
Chandrasekhar is a pious and long-standing UG's brand friend and well-
known UG's archiver, and in a sense he is more like a catalyst to bait
UG brand to a larger chores of people in Bangalore. For Chandrasekhar,
now UG is more alive and his (Chandrasekhar's) actions and enthusiasm
would speak it well.

Among other things, on this occasion a Kannada version of UG's
(Uppaluri Gopala Krishnamurti) brand book, 'The Mystique of
Enlightenment' was brought out; one Mr Shama Rao rendered this Kannada
translation, it seems. Mahesh Bhatt's presence on the occasion was
glittering and glitzy, as I guess.

Another proud moment was that of the release of an interesting booklet
on Parveen Babi's account as well as encounter of her own life after
she met that fire UG. This booklet was compiled by none other than our
friend Madhusudhan Rao (Madhu), with the full support of K
Chandrasekhar. Interestingly and fittingly this glittering booklet of
Parveen Babi's encounter with her life and UG, was released on the
occasion by none other than Mrs. Suguna Chandrasekhar - a most pious
and admired lady of UG. I understand, many of us may not know the
other side or face of Parveen Babi,who was projected and portrayed as
a lust-brand actress, seductress and Bollywood star in the glamorous
glittering glitzy Hindi film world. But very few people know the
duress of her life. Thanks to Mahesh Bhatt, her encounter with UG was
just her encounter with her own life. The Booklet brought out by
Madhu, may shed a new phase of light on Parveen Babi's life, in the
context of UG. I understand, there are millions of Parveen Babis'
amongst us.

Ours is a mad hypocritical holy shit society. In a sense the whole
spirituality and duality stuff is the biggest filth and lie on this
earth. UG says, "we are not created for any grander purpose than the
ants that are there, or the flies that are hovering around us ..." As
long as this world wont take the hard reality that first and foremost
and forever we are neuro-biological, the whole humanity is bound to
end up in a state of neurosis, as UG somewhere points out quite
sarcastically.

Some rare excerpts in Paveen Babi's own words on her encounter with UG
and her life trauma that also appeared in the then Illustrated Weekly
of India in 1980s and more may be explored on the following link: U.G.
