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.
