Happily Sad!

Strange feeling this...I am happy....very happy...but I am very sad too...its a mix...mixed emotions..mixed feelings....I guess I am Happily Sad!!!

H1N1-Popularly known as Swine

Its weird the kind of 'Publicity' these pigs r getting these days (No Offense..Swine being piggy)..no but seriously...this disease..it has a technical name (school ka naam) H1N1 2009 and also a pet name (Ghar ka naam...bole to pyar wala) Swine Flu :-D that is funny :):) Heeheehee..my PJ sense is improving..am I proud of that or what ;-)

No but on a serious note, I wasnt too sure that the situation actually is so grave..not until I learnt that a kid from my school (Can't get over the fact that I have left it ages back now, still have the connections there!!) has caught on the virus..this is real, as are the 'precautionary advices' coming from all sources..esp from home...let me pass on a few...esp when people are so closely following the whole thing..with the PMO officially saying that they would follow the Swine Flu cases on a daily basis!

* Stay away from crowded places: Please shut the offices for sometime and give everyone paid holidays!

*Stay away from firangs/Desi Firangs: Firangs categorising the originals and desi Firangs the 'I am an Indian with an American Passport'

*Use Tissues and NOT cotton 'Hanky':Am sure all the 'Ba's and Parvati's' are in for a shock!

A few more.. But I guess, I just love this 1:

*Cover your nose/mouth, as you sneeze/cough: Get your basic etiquettes right boss and there will be no more swine :D

Long live pigs...and Humans...in a 'virus free' world :)

P.S: Jokes apart, it is a grave situations and we must all take the precautions..

Just take care!

Love Aaj Kal...

Saw the movie..and clearly it is a hit! It a nice sweet romantic..err...na not a comedy..just a sweet romantic flick...imtiaz ali special kinds! (And we even have a Shahid Kapoor special in the end..all those who go for the movie..wait till the end..till you have that ahun ahun song..and I swear..1 sequence and Saif has that Shahid Kapoor getup..seriously..Shahid in Kismat Connection..I think that hey pappy pappi papi..whatever that is..that song!)

Alright about the movie..I think it is a very realistic kind of movie..and I think that many of the people would definitely identify with it..the 'not so sure of love' and then the 'break-up' theory..the 'long distance relationship' theory..truely...I mean..I think most of the 'aam janta' or the "Mango Public" would identify with it..

Its about moving to different locations and thinking 'practically' that the long distance relationships don't work..I mean..I don't know how 'practical' that is..does it depend on people?or on the relationship?or on the distance?or on what? I really can't figure this one out..and it is kind of eating me up..seriously....What is it about a long distance relationship that is so tough...is it not supposed to strengthen the bond?I mean think about it...two people at different location..with different people..and still so much in love!What better way to know whether what you have is real??isnt it??But what if you already know it is really real..what if you already know that what you have is so so real and correct and just plain simple love!why then do we need such an acid test??I guess we do not..and still that fear..why?This is not that right is it?
I dont know...I mean..I think the part in the movie where they define the problems of a long distance relationship..they are actually practical..."we'll msg, well chat, we'll call each other up..we'll mail..then within a few months it'll all reduce and then we'll start with the regular-y didnt you reply to my mail stuff...and then it'll be painful"...I think this is reality..most of the times..distances just reveal a lot of things, which are never even anticipated...
Then that part about breaking up...that is so real...I mean seriously...it is difficult to be friends after a break up..almost in 90% of the cases, you just can't be..cause somehow, that complete feel just does not seem to leave you...and somewhere or the other you remain stuck in time..well..not off course if you initiated the process..for sure....no matter what anyone says...it is the truth...why do people break up..most often than not, its one sided..and that whole funda of 'lets just be friends'..okay lets face it..those are just hollow words and nothing more than that...two people who have been in a relationship can never be "just friends"..
And well..that is what happens in the movie as well..thay just cant move on...but probably because they never even realise the love..I don't knw..just maybe..
Okay now the weirdest part..she gets married and divorced the next day..she as in Meera..as in Deepika Padukone...strange don't you think..initially I thought it was just way too filmy..but then come to think of it...what of you thought you were over someone and get married and then realise that it was all a big mistake..what are you supposed to do???I mean..what???
Yes but the 'filmy' angle was the looooong year long wait..even after the divorce, Deepika Padukone doesnt go over and confess her love..I couldnt really figure out why...well the reason given is that "he has just started working in t=his dream firm"..well...so what...???!! I mean..what has that got to do with anything...but well..thats how it is..

Overall..worth a watch...a definite 3 starrer for me!

P.S:
* Yes, the music is foot tapping and situational....good...and some songs really just stay with you...
**Younger version of Neetu Singh...BAAAAAD CHOICE! She cant act can talk cant dance cant lip sync..She looks like a piece of furniture and nothing more!

Yeh Dooriyan-Love Aaj Kal

I think I am in this -'I love music'- mode yet again...the latest addition:

Yeh dooriyan

Yeh dooriyan

Yeh dooriyan

In raahon ki dooriyan

Nigahon ki dooriyan

Hum rahon ki dooriyan

Fanah ho sabhi dooriyan

Kyun koi paas hai Door hai Kyun koi

Jaane Na koi yahan pe

Aa Raha paas ya door mein ja raha Janu na mein hoon kahan pe

Yeh dooriyanIn raahon ki dooriyan

Nigahon ki dooriyanHum rahon ki dooriyan

Fanah ho sabhi dooriyan

Yeh dooriyan

Yeh dooriyan

Kabhi hua yeh bhi

Khali Rahon pe bhi Tu tha mere saath

Kabhi tujhe milke lauta

mera dil yeh khali khali haath

Yeh bhi hua kabhi Jaise hua Aabhi

Tujhko sabhi mein paa li

Tera mujhe kar jaati hai dooriyan

Satati hain dooriyanTarsati hain dooriyan

Fanah ho sabhi dooriyan

Kaha bhi na mene Nahi jeena mene Tu jo na mila

Tujhe bhule se bhi na

Bola na mene chahun fasla Bas fasla rahein Ban ke kasak jo kahen

Ho aur chahat yeh aur jawan

Teri meri mit jaani hai dooriyan

Begani hai dooriyan

Hat jani dooriyan

Fanah ho sabhi dooriyan

Kyun koi paas hai Door hai Kyun koi

Jaane Na koi yahan pe

Aa Raha paas ya door mein ja raha Janu na mein hoon kahan pe

Yeh dooriyan

In raahon ki dooriyan

Nigahon ki dooriyan

Hum rahon ki dooriyan

Fanah ho sabhi dooriyan...

Welcome Back!

At one point of time, I had got so hooked to this blogging thing that I could actually write day in and day out...but lately its kind of on the backseat for me..

I think it was always a stress buster for me...and now that I don't write, the stress levels have gone up...

Guess, I'll start back! :-)

Kaminey...

I think with these 'Kaminey' songs..I have fallen in love with the 'Gulzar and Vishal Bharadwaj' duo, all over again!!

The title track is just too good...the lyrics the feel the music the sound..everythin just right!

I really thought that this movie didnt have a title track..after all what can a person weave around the word 'Kaminey' that can actually be put to music and sung...BUT...I guess I didnt realise we are not talking about just another lyricist!

The lyrics are just superb..so close to life...and I think I have realised its not all that bad to be called a 'Kamina'..we are all mean..we are all selfish...we are no saints...even the saints aint Gods...I think this song has just redefined the whole meaning of the word "Kamina"..

Hail Gulzar!

Hail Vishal Bharadwaj!

Kaminey::

Kya kare zindagi isko hum jo mile,Iski jaan kha gaye, raat din ke gile

Raat din gile…Meri aarzoo kamini,Mere khwab bhi kaminey,

Ek dil se dosti thi, yeh huzoor bhi kaminey,

Kya kare zindagi isko hum jo mile,Iski jaan kha gaye, raat din ke gile…

Kabhi zindagi se maanga, pinjre mein chaand la do,

Kabhi laanten deke, kaha aasmaa pe taango

Jeene ke sab kareene the hamesha se kaminey,

Kaminey kaminey kaminey kaminey,

Meri daastaan kamini, mere raasten kaminey,

Ek dil se dosti thi, yeh huzoor bhi kaminey…

Jiska bhi chehra cheela, andar se aur nikla,

Masoom sa kabootar naacha to more nikla,

Kabhi hum kaminey nikle, kabhi doosre kaminey,

Kaminey kaminey kaminey kaminey,

Meri dosti kamini, mere yaar bhi kaminey,

Ek dil se dosti thi, yeh huzoor bhi kaminey…

Gulzar-Pehli Baar Mohabbat (Kaminey)

For those only interested in the song:

Thode bheege bheege se thode nam hai hum,

Kal se soye voye bhi to kam hai hum.

Dil ne kaisi harkat ki hai,Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai,

Aakhiri baar mohabbat ki hai,

Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai,

Aakhiri baar mohabbat ki hai…
Aankhein doobi doobi si surmayee madham,

Jheelen paani paani hai bass tum aur hum,

baat badi hairat ki hai,

Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai,

Aakhiri baar mohabbat ki hai
khawab ke bhoj se, kapkapati hui,

Halki palkein teri yaad aata hai sab,

Tujhe gudgudana… satana yuhi sote hue,

Gaal pe teepna… meechna bewajah besabab.
Yaad hai peepal ke jiske ghane saaye the,

Hum ne gilehri jhoothe matter khaaye the,

Yeh barqat unn hazrat ki hai.
Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai,Aakhiri baar mohabbat ki hai

Pehli Baar Mohabbat ki hai...

Thode bheege bheege se thode nam hai hum,

Kal se soye voye bhi to kam hai hum.

Dil ne kaisi harkat ki hai,Pehli baar mohabbat ki hai,

Aakhiri baar mohabbat ki hai...

These are from the movie Kaminey..Pehli Bar...of course its Gulzar..and listening to this song has just taken me back into that memory lane..which is just so beautiful...

I think I can just so identify with the lyrics..they seem to have been written exactly out of an experience..a personal one i.e :) Probably one of the bestest days :)

I just cant stop smiling!!

Break!

I think I just need a change! A break of sorts maybe...something..actually sometime to sort things out!!

I think I need it!

hi

I think lately, i've become too irrational...I get irritated too often...Though I don't have a root cause analysis..but I think something is wrong...big time!!!

Confused-usual me!

I think I am happy..then I think I am not..but then again I think I am happy!!!

Its such a weird feeling these days...everything seems to be wrong...but for a few!

I just realised I hvnt done even a part of what I thought I was doing..or wanted to do!

When you love someone- Bryan adams

When you love someone - youll do anything
Youll do all the crazy things that you cant explain
Youll shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone

Youll deny the truth - believe a lie
Therell be times that youll believe you can really fly
But your lonely nights - have just begun
When you love someone

When you love someone - youll feel it deep inside
And nothin else can ever change your mind
When you want someone - when you need someone
When you love someone...

When you love someone - youll sacrifice
Youd give it everything you got and you wont think twice
Youd risk it all - no matter what may come
When you love someone
Youll shoot the moon - put out the sun
When you love someone

Confessions of a Shop-a-holic!

I think I have just got into this habit....good / bad...of picking up my purse 'only' and leaving every saturday (I don not prefer Sundays!!)and leave for the market..and return..all exhausted..and with a huge bill besides my hands fully loaded with clothes/books/VCDs/shoes...anything and absolutely evrything..

I think I have entered that category of shopaholics and I think I seriously need to do something about it...I think I should just divert my mind/attention towards something else and that way I might not end up in a mall....

Naaaa...I just love shopping...it makes me feel good...:) and no matter how tired I feel at the end of a loooooooooong day...I am just loving it.. :):):)

Straberries

Don't you think straberries are just great..you know like the most exotic fruits ever!!

I so wanna have them right now...with Icecream..They taste yums!

:):)

This one's for You! :)

Completely personal....solely and completely for the one who is intended receipient of this post...and just to avoid any unneccessary speculations...the intendended receipient would be notified by the blogger :)

Alright...so this one's completely for you..though I did have other means of telling you all that I am about to..rather planning to...as I am not too sure how much of it would be penned down..rather typed out...but still...whatever is left..would either come in Part 2 or well..in person be told!:)

The 1st time we met...I was nervous..though am sure my face didnt show that (I'd like to think that and I am hoping that you would not burst my bubble here!)...And I know you must have found it extremely strange and weird and well..uncommon..that in the situation we were in..rather i was in...I kept on laughing...now don't deny this as you've told me this a 101 times! But, I don't know..I guess the 'ease' was there right from the word go..don't you think :) though we took quite some time to acknowledge this and well..I am 'smart', I knew it before you did..and was more certain about it that you were..and you just can't argue here..can you..;)

But its not about how we met or how long we took..its just bout the complete journey..so far...:)

You know what..actually you do....but I repeat :)..I look up to you (Ok I know just today I talked to you about it..but seriously,...this is the truth!!!!!!) Its like....you have been like an inspiration (no exaggeration here!)...somebody who has taught me a lot...been a guide...been a mentor...been the light :):) (I know its really ornamental..this language..but thats how it is!!)..and I want to thank you for all that and more!

From someone I hardly spoke to...you have graduated quite a bit havent you ;)..graduate????bad choice of word...you've been handed your doctorate ;);)

You know what...I have so much to say...but I relly can't squeeze in the words..rather really cant find the right ones...its just that its been such a wonderfully wonderful journey...that i just so want to tell you how much you mean! Actually..I know you know...but i still want to say this! I want to thank you...for everything,.,...Thank you for being there when I was all lost...Thank you for being there when all I needed was someone to hear me out...Thank you for not being judgemental...Thank you for accepting me as I am...with all my problems and well with my stupidities!Thank you for making me happy when I was all down and out...thank you for making me happier when I already was jumping with joy:)

You've seen the worst of me...you've seen me when I was my 'worst' (Just trying to put in a similar sentence as seen me when i was my best...kindly ignore the inglisch there ;))..The troughs and the crests...we've seen it...Everytime I made the crests deeper..you made the troughs higher..and I thank you for that...:):)

I thank you for being you...and taking me as I am, and thats very tough I know..accepting me with all the flaws! :)

Be the way you are....you are 'almost' perfect..'almost cause there are certain things which you still need to improve at...e.g: you are supposed to 'relax' everywhere else....you still need to improve with...err..well...i know its tough and you can't I am and will always be better at it!..so lets leave the 2nd point...but the 'relaxation' one...it'll be good for you ok...;)

:):)

Maybe a 2nd post just might follow in sometime!:)

Back in time!

Was just going through all  the testimonials written for me/written by me....strange feelin this is...really!!

The testimonials don't just reflect your feelings...but also are like a memorablia of sorts...of your feelings at the moment when you were writing it!

I feel really glad when I read whatever my friends have written...and everytime I read what I have written, I feel the urge to write more...about not just my 'old and gold' friends...but also a few (rare) friends that I have connected with over the past...well...after coll would be a better way of putting it :)

God..when would I stop using blogs just to put forth my 'personal' feelings...look at people around...blogs just seem to be a 'channel' to yap yap and yap about anything and everything...

But I just love it...writing exactly what I feel like...What I want to say...exactly how I want to :)

Post One-2009

Its been so long since i I last wrote something..that this whole feeling is somewhat alien at the moment..this feeling of writing...

Guess, would have to get out of the writer's block..so to say....just that this block has got extended quite a bit this time 'round! This is what jobs do to you huh!! ;-)
