jaggu is back

Do not know what has happened to me but I am listening to Jaggu again. Something changed inside me and because of that I had lost my connection with him. But I am so glad to have him back with me.

Tere saath gayi woh raunak...
Ab is shehar mein rakhan kya hain...

Sab ganda hain par Dhanda hain

Recently we applied for a credit card for Ishmeet, so that she can start building her own credit history. And to my utter surprize citibank approved her a card for $25,000 credit limit (please take note this is based on spousal income). That is more than three of my personal credit cards combined. So now hopefully you get the title....

Topi recently reviewed the music of Gajini and he rightfully got the best song of the movie "Kaise Mujhe" sung by Benny Dayal. This song for me is probably one of the better ones after a long time. The best part is that there is a instrumental piece of this song in the album. Listen to the instrumental and give me two duaas...I am begining to like the whole idea of good instrumentals. Primarily because this is only place you get to hear quality flute and violin pieces. Otherwise the beauty of flute is simply lost in the drums and synth. Another thing worth mentioning about Gajini is the solo song sung by Shreya Goshal. A pretty crappy song lyrics wise but just enjoy her range.

Kirpan

For the simple mind, the significance of sikhs carrying the kirpan (sword) is linked to our martial history which I believe happened by chance because someone had to take up the ownership to defend India and ofcourse Northern frontier provinces. But Prof. Puran Singh description is just so beautiful...here is goes.

"Every Sikh is to wear "His" Sword. Not his own. Kirpan is a gift from the Guru. It is not an instrument of offence or defense. It is a mind made intense by the love of the Guru. The Sikh is to have a sword-like mind. It is the visible sign of an intensely sensitive soul.'

The Sword Cuts rapidly and so does the mind

Flying back from NY was a cool experience. I saw three airplanes flying parallel or at an angle to my plane, different altitute ofcourse. This is just an amazing sight as you get an idea on how fast these planes are flying.

Oye Lucky Lucky Oye is a cool movie.
