Hawaii ho aaye bhai log

Bhai log, so I surprized Ishmeet with a trip to Hawaii for our first anniversary. The place is simply awesome, you got to go there. Overall, an expensive but worth it trip.

I am watching Filmfare Awards as I am making this post. Being a kid we used to love watching these awards and no matter what I say, I still do enjoy watching Filmfare Awards. The award made me remember Sanjeev Kumar for his performance in Aandhi. Interestingly Sanjeev Kumar Aandhi's performance had edged out Amitabh's Deewar peformance for a best actor award.

Delhi Heights

The music of "Delhi Heights" is catching up on me....especially the songs "Kitne Der", "Aaja Nachle" and "Ey Gori". Rabbi Shergill has impressed me though the songs took a while to get in my head.

Another cool thing I noticed that finally there is a romantic song for sikh guys...hehe. I am not talking about the Bhangra ones or the Mika one, in which he answers Rakhi Sawant on why he took her puppy.

I am talking about a song from the album "Ustad and Divas". The song has been sung beautifully by Sunidhi Chauhan and goes like "Moore piyaa ke lambe lambe kes, bhaiyye jiya ko, bhola bhala bhes". I am sure a lot of my friends will like it.

Bay Area Spinning Wheel Festival

I attended the Bay Area Spinning Wheel Festival today. Like the previous one it was an amazing experience as the festival showcased some of the best movies related to sikh issues. I would like to showcase two of them here.

First one: Amu
This film starring Konkona Sensharma and Ankur Khanna (from Yun Hota to Kya Hota) raises a lot of questions which are still unanswered after the 1984 massacre. A must watch, very well directed and truly amazing.

Second one: The Gold Bracelet
Written, Directed and Produced by Kavi Raz is another very well made movie on how the lives of thousands of sikhs changed in the USA post 9/11. I later had a chance to meet Kavi Razji and it was a pleasure talking to him.
