I Believe - Celebaration Of Life !

Extravagant, Power, Energy, Colour, Vibrancy, Spiritual Journey, Passion, Positivity, Lavish, Humbleness, Love, Faith, Hope, Fun, Action, Glamour, Dance, Music, Celebration are just few of the long list of words that come to mind when I think the Spectacular 'I Believe Show' by the very talented and very humble Shiamak Davar.

Well yes I am one of the most fortunate ones to have been invited to see the show twice. The 1st time being last DEC ( ‘07) and then last nite.

It's a show closest to my heart for two beautiful reasons. 1st being my dearest darling angel Shiamak and the theme 'I Believe'. While people probably meet Shiamak at parties, shows, award functions I met him for the very 1st time in last June(07) at the Surgical ICU of the Breach candy hospital after going through the biggest and longest surgery of my life. Hell had broken on me about 15 days prior and I didn't know what more was going to come my way. Just then Shiamak arrived in my ICU room out of the blue to meet me. Did I know him before that .. Well NO !! He was waiting outside the ICU to see his best friends father and he chanced upon my mother and on hearing about me just told her that he wanted to meet me. I was in a bad state physically and emotionally. As I saw him I felt a strange soul connection as if I had known him for a really really long time. 10 mins of very encouraging and kind loving words from him brought about a huge realizations and a big shift in my consciousness. Ever since I have been in touch with him in my own little way.

I BELIEVE Shiamak is one of the many miracles I experienced in the 7 months of my illness.

The 1st time I saw the 'I Believe' Show was yet another turning point in my life. I had just finished my 6th Chemothearpy session post 2 large surgeries (Yes 'Chemo'. I know I have never mentioned this on my blog but the 7 months of trauma I went though was my fight against Cancer) I yet had 1.5 month to go before my final treatment would end. These 5 ½ months had been very difficult, painful and trying.

Though the light at the end of the tunnel was nearing I was loosing hope, faith, tolerance and patience. Just then the 'I Believe' show came up again as yet another divine intervention. I remember I cried through the show as it re- instilled in me faith in the divine, Belief in MYSELF, positivity and the fact that nothing and absolutely nothing was impossible if you truly believed in it.

My Master Magician Prasad always say ' Nothing is impossible, we make possible impossible so let's make impossible possible now' The show truly was a turning point for me. It uplifted my spirit. The next 1.5 months post the show were the toughest and most painful. But my re- instilled Faith and Belief thanks to the show and a million prayers sailed me through it all.

Last nite as I saw the show again. It touched me yet again. But this time it was different feeling. It was a Celebration ! A celebration of my Belief in the Universe, Miracles, Divine Grace, My teacher, My family and all my angels. I had tears of joy as the energy of the show took me on another platform yet again.

The messages that truly touched me this time were ' I am Alive' ( I wanted to just get up and dance myself to that song ) , 'Wear your happiness everyday', importance of 'Coexistence – How a soft river flows through hard rough rocks yet they both beautifully co exist , Go with the flow', 'Believe in yourself.. no matter what they say', 'No mountains are so great …have faith' ' Because you loved me'' He lives in you…He watches over you' and my all time favorite ' YOU are the happiness that you seek'.

All these and more messages were delivered by my darling Shiamak and his team by a beautifully choreographed dance and singing. The energy of the dancers was almost overwhelming. Shiamak's spectacular singing, energy and positivity just seem to spread like divine showers specially when he and his team come into the audience and interact with them, makes each one dance and sing and just be their child like selves. No matter how many times you watch this show it puts you in complete AWE.

I do have to make a special mention of Shiamak's Special children of the Victory foundation that come on stage. Be it the genius Rohan who can within seconds tell you the day of the week the moment you give him a specific date in the last 3 yrs or the whole bunch of them some on their wheel chairs that are so beautifully propped that made them look so beautiful. I remember the positivity of these special children had touched me in the last show when Shiamak asked one of them I think it was Rohan why his eye was red. The normal response you would expect from any one would be " oh I hurt it or oh its an infection I have' but this special child filled with positivity said " Oh it will go away". They surely and truly inspired me. As the fabulous part was the jamming session between Igor on the saxophone, Nilhil a percussionist and Milind on the flute. It was spectacular. Also cant forget to mention the opening act by the 10 year old Aryman Birla who sings the most touching " I Believe' song also the beautiful Katya who so gracefully danced to Salsa rhythm .

All in all It was a SOUL STIRRING EXPERIENCE and my day was made. I took back home immense positive energy ( I think I am bubbling with it since morning that is why I couldn’t but resist and write this post early morning) , belief in MYSELF and the Universe, Celebration, a healing hug from Shiamak and lot of love he showered me with post the show. LUCKY ME !!!

Thank you Universe for bringing such beautiful and loving angels in my life and Thanks a million Shiamak for being there for me. It truly means a lot to me. I LOVE U !
