I will miss you Ranade

I think I come back to my blog whenever I am in a sad mood. This is a place where I share or write my secret things...unlike FB where its all BS. Today as I departed from Ranade's apartment a strange sadness engulfed me. The feeling when you fly back from India.
When I first moved to the Bay Area 6.5 years ago, it was Ranade and Anu who welcomed me here. I used to spend my weekends with them and Ranade's effort to help somani and me organize the class reunion was phenomenal. So many good memories, so many fun times and seeing Ranade become a father. I wish I could have spend more night-outs learning bridge from you man....

Miss you till we meet when we meet,
Chadha

yeh kya ho raha hain?

Jo saath thein woh ab saath nahi hain,
Jo ek saath khus thein woh ab khush nahi hain,
Woh ek saath khush to thein?
Bhrahm tha ya sach,
Shaayad bhrahm hi hoga,
Ya shaayad bhatak gaye hain woh.

Madno

Sometimes you come across words that just pull you towards them. There is something about the way they are used or someone pronounces them in a certain manner. Recently I came across this word "Madno" and could not resist googling it up. "Madno" simply means "Sajna or Beloved". This one goes out for my Madno...:)

Check out this lovely track Madno from the movie Lamhaa. Do listen to the "Sajna" version of the Madno song beautifully sung my Mika and Chinmayi.

Rishi Kapoor Vs. Amitabh Bachan

If Rishi Kapoor gets to do half of the movies that Amitabh does, things would be so different..this one is for the finest oldie cutie of India...Rishi love you.

new albun "22 no faatak"

His new album "22 no faatak" is quite enjoyable. My favorite song is Tere Bin. Interestingly the guy is an engineer and works in Adobe full time. Most songs are romantic ones, my only wish was that he had put together a song about his college days as the album's title is dedicated to his college memories.

Sukhwinder Singh Concert Bay Area 6 June, 2010

Friends, Comrades and Fellow Music Lovers,
I hereby declare that I will avoid going to or supporting any Sukhwinder Singh concert or event. The guy has some serious problems and does not give a shit to his fans and their expectations. He sang just 6 or 7 songs, after appearing on stage 1 hour and 30 mins late and did not apologize.

That will be all!

Ranjha Ranjha from Raavan

Some songs just stick to you the first time...Ranjha Ranjha from Raavan is one of those.

May 1st comes and things such as fight for immigration reforms hold new meaning for me.

india calling

The feeling just keep getting stronger. All I need is the right opportunity to fit back in as if I had never left. Time will tell as I think it would mean lost 8 years of my life. Still I would have the remaining 40 odd to enjoy in India. I find it hard to understand whether being pragmatic has elements of cowardice hidden in them? Strength, wisdom, advice and prayers is what I seek.

Listening to Kay Kay right now and remembering how Parle used to recommend him as a singer.

upcoming india trip

Makes me very anxious.
