pyaar

"Choti Choti Baaton Mein Chipa Hain Yeh Pyaar...."
"Rote Rote Hasne Ki Dawa Hain Yeh Pyaar"

Love is thinking about class IV-B and remembering Papa standing outside my class on my results day. Always smiling....I can still see him through those grilled windows.

nothing pleases me more than to see a standing ovation as Al Pacino walks to receive his golden globe award

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.

A picture from our recent trip from India taken during Sahiba-Jaspreet wedding. Love the colors.

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.

beautiful line I just heard

uljhe nahi to kaise suljho ke? bikhre nahi to kaise nikhroge?...

Sample these dialogues from the movie Blue

Nikki: Hum ko mile 12 ghante bhi nahin hue aur tum humure future ke bare me soch rahe ho ?
Sam: Main to peechle bara ghante se hi humure future ke bare me soch raha hoon ! Aur tum ?
Nikki: Sabkuchh batane ki zaroorat nahin hota *lips tremble*
Sam: *grins* (but gets a boner, secretly)

Sam: Bag mein kya hai ?
Gulshan: Mauka. Utha sako to utha lo. (Now that’s called raw machismo)

Sam : Ek bag ke liye 50 million dollars kuchh zyada nahin hai ?
Gulshan: Bag mera tha to kimat bhi main tyar karunga ! (Lesson in Valuation)

Mona: Mera sapna hai ek oceanography institute, marine life ko protect karne ke liye.
Sagar: Is janam me wo sapna hi rahega. Main machhli pakadta rahunga, tum pakate rehna…. (har har har)

Sagar: Koi aadmi sirf tab andhere mein baithta hai, jab wo isqh mein hota hai ya phir pareshan ho.
Sam: Who ek aur karan bhi andhere mein baithta haijab roshni chala jaye. (makes perfect logocal sense but also makes me laugh out loud)

Arav: I always have two of everything heh heh heh.
Mona: That’s Arav for you, he has two of everything! (makes me ROFL)

Then, there were lot of interrogative dialogues using the word ‘Sawal’ which teaches a sure shot way to compose the sharpest comeback lines. I am sure this can be effectively used in office and homes. Allow me to exemplify-

Boss: Maine jo kam bola tha wo tumne kiya ?
Me: Sawal ye nahin hai ki kam maine kiya ki nahin. Sawal ye hai kam hua ki nahin.

Then at home,
Wife: Tumko aadha kilo kanda lane ke liye bola tha, laya ?
Me: Sawal ye nahin hai ki main kanda laya ki nahin, sawal ye hai ki tumko kanda nahin mili to kya honewala hai.

 

Reading the good stuff.

Instant Karma in Bay Area

I would say these guys are giving us some of the worst Indian events. They throw attitude like anything and just because there is no competition at this moment, they think people have to put up with their shit. I can see they are going down...sorry Instant Karma and please stop getting drunk 18 year old girls to boss people around in your stupid events.
