where were you

Where were you when I was burned and broken
While the days slipped by from my window watching
Where were you when I was hurt and helpless
Because the things you say and the things you do surround me
While you were hanging yourself on someone else's words
Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun
Lost in thought and lost in time
While the seeds of life and the seeds of change were planted
Outside the rain fell dark and slow
While I pondered on this dangerous but irresistible pastime
I took a heavenly ride through our silence
I knew the moment had arrived
For killing the past and coming back to life
I took a heavenly ride through our silenceI knew the waiting had begun
And headed straight..into the shining sun

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na

I have a gut feeling the music will be very fresh and popular for this movie.

That will be all

PS1: Amitabh Bachan should stop writing his blog. Most of its is bull anyways.

Ps3: The Bommarillu actress has finally arrived.
Ps34: I am running 5k after 3 years tomorrow, wish me luck

surge ahead

Life has strange ways of challenging us. A person looking from outside will always get an incomplete view of whats happening in your life. Moreover, if you choose not to look at your life correctly you may also fool yourself.

The bottom line in life is that if you do not surge ahead you will always go down. Not because others will go ahead of you. Simply because you will slip down. It is only "you" (and no body else) who decides which way you want to go.

Jaane Kya

I guess Zubin is gifted...his voice gets into my head. Dayammmm......

Ishmeet Made it to SAREGAMAPA USA 2008 Finals

Bhailog,
Ishmeet will be travelling to Dallas for SAREGAMAPA 2008 USA Finals. She will be enjoying this experience with 20 other participants. I hope ZeeTV USA gets more sponsorship so that we do not have to shell out the expenses :)

A rare classic...

Few pictures from Kota Trip

March India Trip Month of the Year + Tashan

My last three trips to India happened in this month of the year, which explains the title. I came back from India last Friday and this time even more desperate to go back again. Maybe it is the fact that I went back after two years but even 24 days felt less on this trip. I am sure, I will be writing a lot more about this trip in days to come. I travelled SFO-->Delhi-->Kota-->Jaipur-->Kota-->Delhi-->Kota-->Delhi-->Amritsar-->Delhi-->Kota-->Delhi-->SFO, in that order last month.

In the mean time going back to my first love, music....the music of Tashan is nice!!! I think it is going to play all over and turn out to be a huge success. Vishal Shekar are definitely maestros at churning music which is for those young at heart.

Very funny Indian ad for Godrej DVD Player

Another proof of the quality of Indian ads.

Classically Milds

Amazing new album my Sonu Nigam...soulful is the word.

It has been a long time since I have blogged. A lot is happening on the personal front. Plan to watch Mithya, funny how I do not feel the same for Jodha Akbar. We celebrated our second anniversary yesterday...time flies....

I pity Raj Thackarey

I think leaders (or not) like Raj Thackarey should be publicly punished and sent to jail.

Papa Cj - World Stands Up

Pretty decent....

THROW shAron STONE

Recently when interviewed by a Headlines Today news reporter Sharon Stone expressed how much she loves Bollywood and how much she is waiting for the right call from Bollywood. The reporter too naive or probably too much impressed by her answer asked Sharon if she recalls any recent movies from Bollywood and here comes the best part. Sharon Stone's reply was "Hmmmmmm Ymmmmmm yeah I loved this movie.....Hmmmmmm Ymmmmm Goshhh...it has been like six years....it was this beautiful love story ....such a nice love story....it had this female director....yeah I loved that movie"

music meri jaan

Revisited the music of Chameli a few minutes ago, sounded as refreshing as it used to. A very good album indeed.

Another short story, Ishmeet and I were listening to the music of Aashiqui and she so religiously pointed out that how much she loved the tabla in the song "Mera Dil tere liye dhadakta hain". Reminded me of a an old friend very kameena I must say who used to play tabla on the trunk of politician Shukla.

my roommates

My roommates/ apartment mates were in the following order. I would write more about each one of them soon

On Sanjay Dutt getting bail

"Yeh public badi jaldi bhool jaati hain. Aap buss judge saahib ko ek baar saza sunaane do, sab ka judiciary par vishwash rahega. Baad mein ek-aad maheene mein bail karwa denge. Kyon theek hain na?"

sab theek hain...sab saaf saaf theek hain

holiday season spending

I find it hard to understand why everything is taken to the level of fakeness(not sure if that is a word) in US. The Black Friday sale is another perfect example of this. Items are sold with an additional 5-10% discount on their usual price but the whole gimmick is to market it was over 50% discount. Patrons unaware of the usual pricing of the items tend to think they are getting an awesome deal and therefore end up spending on stuff they never really wanted. Americans on an average spend $570 on holiday gifts alone during the months of November-December. This gift spending combined with spending on the family makes this entire holiday season a huge factor in setting the pace for the American economy in 2008.
