yeh hain meri kahani

Yeh hain meri kahani,
Kabhi khushi kabhi paani,
Paani sirf aankhon mein nahi,
Aaj Dil bhi Rota hain,
Buss ab aur nahi,
Aaj na jaane kyun dil bahut chota hain.

He did it again...

Howcome A.R. Rehman does it. I am now listening to the songs which probably 1/10 th of the world would be listening to in a few days. I am listening to the songs of the movie "Rang De Basanti " and I swear to God I did not even check who the music director is. One song down and I knew it was A.R. Rehman. Now thats what I call talent and hardwork personified. You can learn so much from his dedication and the way he excels each and every time.
I had a bad day at work, same bloody simulations not working shit. But now I feel much better...inspired, blood running in my veins and arteries again. Sarfaroshi ki Tamanna ab hamare dil mein hain.
Mad respect...

reality TV

I like reality TV....yes yes yes I do. Sometimes when I am not able to sleep and have too much vehla time. I have seen episodes of Real World at night. On Thursdays there was a time last year when I used to watch Apprentice. I have seen episodes of Survivor series too. When my parents were visiting me, I got addicted to watching Fame Gurukul. And to top it as soon as I will finish this entry of blog I will watch an episode of Indian Idol 2 ....I love this bloody low IQ shit. hahaha.....people who visit my blog at times might be thinking why this guy never posts intellectual stuff like "why are we living this life the way we are living it and are we happy?". My answer to them is that I just try to give everyone a break from this complicated and stressful life and I take them to this magnificent brain dead world. Since i just wrote "people who ....might be thinking..." in the last line, the whole idea of this blog got defeated right then. See now you guys must be thinking what happened to the whole reality thing ?...stop thinking for once!! and go brain dead...can you ?


Nikki Bakshi is coming friends very soon and I am ashamed at this swaroop of Indian naari

doing it right

Doing it right the first time!

I think is really difficult specially if you are falling in love. You try to give too much importance to the person in your life and she does not reciprocates, you feel hurt, broken et. al. Whose fault is it ?

Its your's jackass, why the hell are you making her so important at the first place. You have been such a sensible person for so long in your life and now when you have the time for love...yes you timed it jackass!! You never paid attention to the opposite sex during your career building years, didn't you ? And now when you have the time for it, you are doing it with 4.1 GPA. You have always been like this jackass, always trying to be perfect at whatever you want to do. Too bad, only this time, she is busy with her career.

Solution: patience and keep getting those A+'s

new laptop and Kalyug strikes again

I recently got a new laptop from my daftar. Its a decent HP one, I like it, but I honestly had no excitement whatsoever. I guess it is an age thing, as you grow older things which would have really made you restless and would capture your interest, no longer matter. In other words, there are other things which matter more now.
A friend of mine told me about the music of a new movie "Kalyug". The music is strictly okay and they have copied Atif Aslam's song "Aadat" to such an extent that the song appears three times in the album. Jal version of the song is also present in the album. Dayam!!!....biyaatches!!! when will they stop doing this and there is a song which did not do any justice to Raahat Fateh Ali Khan's talent. Before I forget, I must say they have screwed with the lyrics of the "Aadat".

I will try to write more often now. I think I want to write again.

two points

I have made this realization that a sikh youth from Canada is more anti-Indian than guys from any other foreign country. I was pondering as to why this could be the case based on the observations I made while browsing through sikhportal and earlier sikhpal. First reason could be that majority of sikhs who believed in the idea of a seperate sikh state (read country) must have moved to Canada once the movement was obliterated in India. Canada has always been an easier place to migrate than USA (maybe also UK not sure). So this resulted in a lot of like minded people who were already very anti-India (maybe for reasons obvious to them) to be together again but this time in Canada.

These people have been successful in passing on information/idealogy to the youth in Canada through programmes at Gurdwaare or elsewhere. I am not trying to say there is anything wrong in this, because these people were closer to the real happenings of the past and it is obvious that they would pass on whatever they can to the younger generation. That brings me to my second point, that sikh youth of today has four fractions 1) youth still believing in the idea of seperate state and strongly anti-indian 2) youth who do not believe in the idea of a seperate sikh-state but are not anti-india, 3) youth who do not want a seperate state and are very much pro-india, and 4) youth who just does not care about these things.

Without digressing from my first point, that why youth in Canada is so anti-India I would like to state that sikh guys I have met in US are very much pro-India and I never felt any hatred in them for India. Again these were my personal observations and I could be wrong. And as stated above the second point is very critical for the sikh youth of today because they need to realize that a seperate state India is much more than having a piece of land. I am sure they understand this too but still for someone so pro-India like me I cannot say much more than mistakes happen and to forgive is divine.

another night

Another night is about to engulf me.....what was different today ? nothing in particular to be shared in this blog. But yeah! I cooked Rajhma today and I had a very fulfillng meal today. Like my Mom always says "Aap na mariye te swarag na jaaiye", so true right ?..I had to overcome all my laziness to cook myself a good dinner...because I do not have no family to cook me a decent meal..hehehe enough senti. But as I wrote the last line it just struck me, I had left home in September 1997, fours years in IIT and now nearly four years in US...phewwww!!!....but the good news is that mummy and papa are coming to US hee haw!!!. Chalo I will listen to some music and try to sleep.

Parineeta

Bliss is the word...what beauty..what happiness....mazaa hi aa gaya...kya sweet movie hain. I had seen Bimal Roy's Parineeta couple of months back just because I wanted to see every possible movie of his. Loved that version a lot..the eyes talking, amazing script and the way love was presented in that era was so sweet and innocent.

Just came back from 2005 version of the same movie based on Sarat Chandra Chatto... novel. This time too director has created something beautiful, as Abercrombie t-chirts say "You will be served",

Yes Sir!, I was served today.

A must watch, the actress Vidya Balan has arrived...amazing performances and the way this particular song goes "Raatiya Kaali Kaali Raatiya" and the man sitting next to the hand-rikshaw lights his cigarette. All you feel is just Bliss..with a capital B. A timeless classic presented so nicely.

Fathers Day

Guys as they grow up keep getting more attached to their Moms.....and I guess thats how the whole concept of "Mama's son" comes. Though I did not used to respect all these Father/Mother/ Dat celebrations but as I am sitting on this Saturday afternoon, just felt like thanking my Papa...his name is S. Harbhajan Singh Chadha....and I can only hope to be such a wonderful person he is and felt like thanking him. I dedicate this song...by Josh Groban to him:

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up: To more than I can be.

Raat Hamaari

Raat Hamaari To, Chaand ki Saheli Hain,
Kitne Dino ke Baad, Aayee Woh Akeli Hain.
Sandhya ki Baati bhi koi bujha de aaj
Andhere se jee bharke Karni hain baatein aaj

ufff a masterpiece of Parineeta forced me to write these lines so that 10 yrs down the line I may read them again. I assumed blogger.com would exist at that time. Makhi left for India today and like all of us was obviously so excited and happy. Alvi is finishing his PhD these days and Gandhi is also working hard towards his PhD. Pathak bought a mo-bike.....cool eh...

Was a really busy week at work with lots of things which went above my head but I am hoping to try to understand all of it as time passes by.

Puri Sahib

I feel sad that I would not see my Pasha again. Growing up Hero was one of my favorite films. Everytime we used to go to Delhi; bonnie, sonu, monu and me would be watching Hero again and again. And the who can forget these lines "Mat bhool Jackie yeh Bhasha tujhe Pasha ne sikhai hain". Yes this Pasha who became more of a character actor later in his career gave memorable performances in Gardish and Viraasat. These two performances flash in front of me as I am writing this blog. Aur haan Mogambo khush hua....aur aaj so gaya :(

Another of my brothers favorite lines from Saudagar.. "Balli Ram phone cut kar"

Bulla ki jaana

Thanks to Chuddu, I got a chance to listen to this gem. Abhi 2 mins pahle I was singing this song, so felt like this song deserves a mention on my Blog. Other than this, something can happen in my life and somehow the same me is not at all scared. I feel sab kuch theek ho raha hain and there is a good good feeling about the whole thing...As Topi says "touchwood"...hehehe
