Another Tag completed :-)

When Aalapana tagged me here, I thought this is going to be really tough tag to complete, but surprisingly when I started doing, it took no time and really really enjoyed writing about my favourite music.
Thanks
Aalapna for this wonderful tag.

Your favourite lyricist and the lyrics you remember the most....
"Shailendra"


"Sab kuch seekhaa humne naa seekhii hoshiyaari
Sach hai duniyawalon ki hum hain anaarii
"


Your favourite song on friendship
"Diye jaltey hain, phool khiltey hain, badi ,mushkil se magar, duniya mein dost miltey hain "


Best song portraying life's emotions {zindagi se bhara hua,zindagi ke baare mein}

"Zindagi khwaab hai, khwaab mein jhuuth kyaaa...aur bhalaa sach hai kyaa "

Which song are you humming today?
"Jhuuthey nainaa bole saanchi batiyaan "

One song which brings tears to your eyes
"Luka Chuppi bahut huyi saamne aa ja naa..."

A song which gives you hope,reason to try again and again,a reason to say that life is beautiful:)
"Kisi ki muskuraahaton pe ho nisaar, kisi ka dard mil sake to le udhaar
Kisi ke vaaste ho tere dil mein pyaar jeenaa isii ka naam hai
"

When you want to be with yourself,silent and content but with music,with song would that be?
" Yaad kiya dil ne kaha ho tum...."

If you have to express your love for someone with a song, which would that, be?
"Tere mere sapaney ab ek rang hain ...."

5 songs, which you listen to the most

"Yeh nayan darrey darrey...."

"Tere bina zindagi se koi shikwa to nahi...."
"Main zindagi ka saath nibhaata chalaa gaya...."
"Din Dhal jaaye haay, raat naa jaay...."
"Abhi na jao chhod kar ke dil ab...."

Ho gaya….

I am thinking about...home and mom
I said.....'hmmmm...'
I want to....be successful
I wish....sometimes
I hear....voices and songs in my head, in no particular order
I wonder....why I get bored so easily
I regret....times when I lost my temper
I am....in control
I dance...only in baraats
I sing....all the time
I cry....sometimes
I am not always....boring
I make with my hands....all sorts of cricketing gestures
I write....sometimes
I confuse....my boss by giving him 100s of ideas
I need....good sleep and peace

vs Harsha's 18 and song of the week :-)

At last I'm writing something, not just to keep it alive but keep myself motivated and interested to come back and do the cool tags passed by my oldest blog buddies!!

Well, last 2 weeks were hectic; or hectic 'd be an understatement!!

*****
Recently read here Harsha's 18 for 2007 WC, and before I forget I decided to jot down my list of 18.
Here it is::

1 Sachin
2 Sehwag/Gambhir
3 Dravid
4 Mongia
5 Yuvraj
6 Raina/(Rohit or Badri)
7 Dhoni
8 Pathan/Agarkar/Powar
9 Bhajji/MuraliKarthik
10 Khan/RPS
11 Patel/Sreesanth

I don't wanna go into details of why Rohit or Badri and why not Tej or Raghu; thats pointless like any other thing. My blog, my list. Period.

and here is Harsha's list
"Rahul Dravid, Sachin Tendulkar, Virender Sehwag, Yuvraj Singh, Dinesh Mongia, Mohammad Kaif, Suresh Raina, MS Dhoni, Harbhajan Singh, Ramesh Powar, Anil Kumble, Ajit Agarkar, Irfan Pathan, Munaf Patel, RP Singh, Sreesanth, Zaheer Khan and Ashish Nehra."
*****

Aajkal song playing in my head is...
"Aye dil hai mushkil jeena yahan
Zara hat ke zara bach ke,
Yeh hai Bombay meri jaan"

and this para is in loop
"Beghar ko aawara yahan kehte has has
Khud kaate gale sabke kahe isko business
Ik cheez ke hain kai naam yahan
Zara hat ke zara bach ke, yeh hai Bombay meri jaan"

I'm delighted to see myself tagged by Arunima ..atlast got some thing to write :-) ....though I'm sure it'll turn out to be as boring as re-runs of 'krishi-darshan'.
***
Deleted my orkut profile, was kinda bored of it, and I think its for lot younger generation, as none of my school/college/pg time friend is active there, probably they too have found it boring/kiddish.
***
Completed 7 years at work :-) ,and I'm happy about it :-)
***
I feel major factor behind success of LRMB is the major-failure(in terms of mass expectations) of KANK.
***
If you are following 1993 Bombay blast trials and you've not seen 'Black Friday', then you are surely missing something.
***
Corruption, poverty, unemployment, illiteracy, crime, reservations, terrorism, pathetic health-care, riots, scams, overloaded judicial system etc etc...list of our problems are unending with no solution in sight, things are getting worse from bad.
Common man doesn't want to fight the corrupt system; infact is busy in making his ends meet and rightly so!!


All above mentioned problems are inter-woven, and if one digs further into each of them, why so much corruption/poverty etc etc...The root cause comes out to be is our ever-increasing POPULATION.

Everybody knows this but there is no law for curbing it, and here I feel common man can chip in by following a one-child policy for a better tomorrow, for inheriting a better India to the next generations!!

We had a wonderful weekend, probably best since we came here.
And on top of it, I took Monday off and slept whole day :-)
Well, we went to Lake Tahoe, which is exactly 200 miles away from our place, its beautiful and huge, so huge that it can take care of whole America's water needs for 5.5 yrs. !!
I was totally mesmerized by the clarity and color of water, it changes after every few miles, it was green to be begin with then turned sky blue. .turquoise green...purple.. navy blue!!

Will post some snaps soon!

Song playing in my head.....in a loop, and its gonna take a while to change the track ..till then.....


ye nayan darey darey, ye jaam bharey bharey
zaraa piiney do

kal ki kisako khabar, ik raat hoke nidar
mujhe jeene do
ye nayan darey darey ...

Raat haseen ye chaand haseen
par sabase haseen mere dilabar...

aur tujh se haseen,.. aur tujh se haseen tera pyaar
tu jaane na
ye nayan darey darey ...

pyaar me hai jeevan ki khushi
deti hai khushi.. kai gam bhi
main maan bhi loon,.. main maan bhi loon kabhie haar
tu maane na

ye nayan darey darey ...

Nothing exciting happening these days, and 3 days weekend did no good as I had to work partially on Saturday and Monday. We had our share of fun in limited time we had.

******


Weather report of Delhi on the sidebar makes me smile, each time it mentions weather condition as 'HAZE' , I pity their satellite which provides that data :-)
Its not HAZE its pollution of my dearest city :-)


******

Result of the series looks pretty obvious by looking at the way Younis n Youhana are clobbering English attack.

Also dunno why they've Clarke in their lineup, he is plain useless guy with funny teeth!! Though Broad looks an interesting prospect, time flies I remember once how I used to
really like his dad Chris's and Athey's opening combination.

Treschothick looks out of sorts, may be he should have been made the captain instead of Strauss, or he is paying a price for abandoning India's tour citing first personal n later weird
fitness reasons.

In recent days, after Ustad Bismillah Khan, world has lost another legend - Hrishikesh Mukherjee!!


All his films were meaningful, timeless, amazingly simple, providing fascinating insight into human relations!

My personal favorite 5 are::
Anari
Abhimaan
Jurmana
Anand
Anupama



And with his death, an era of innocence, simplicity and beautiful filmmaking has come to an end!

May his soul rest in peace!

Weekend was as usual spent at its lazy best, roaming here and here at odd hours, sleeping/eating/sleeping at odd hours.

And also updated my photo blog!
