Maa-Taare Zameen Par

Lovely song, mind blowing lyrics, hats off to Prasoon Joshi! BTW Prasoon Joshi is the same guy who wrote lyrics for the Rang De Basanti Song: luka Chipi, most of you might have heard thgis, but if anybody hasnt, read this and then hear!!

Main Kabhi Batlata Nahin,
Par Andhere Se Darta Hoon Main Maa
Yun To Main,Dikhlata Nahin
Teri Parwaah Karta Hoon Main Maa
Tujhe Sab Hai Pata, Hai Na Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pata...Meri Maa

Bheed Mein Yun Na Chodo Mujhe
Ghar Laut Ke Bhi Aa Naa Paoon Maa
Bhej Na Itna Door Mujhko Tu
Yaad Bhi Tujhko Aa Naa Paoon Maa
Kya Itna Bura Hoon Main Maa ..
Kya Itna Bura ..Meri Maa

Jab Bhi Kabhi Papa Mujhe
Jo Zor Se Jhoola Jhulaate Hain Maa
Meri Nazar Dhoondhe Tujhe
Sochu Yahi Tu Aa Ke Thaamegi Maa
Unse Main Yeh Kehta Nahin
Par Main Seham Jaata Hoon Maa..
Chehre Pe Aana Deta Nahin
Dil Hi Dil Mein Ghabraata Hoon Maa..
Tujhe Sab Hai Pata Hai Naa Maa
Tujhe Sab Hai Pata ... Meri Maa

Main Kabhi Batlata Nahin
Par Andhere Se Darta Hoon Main Maa
Yun To Main,Dikhlata Nahin
Teri Parwaah Karta Hoon na Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pata, Hain Na Maa
Tujhe Sab Hain Pataaa...Meri Maa .....

The english translation:-

I've never told you,
How scared I am of the dark
I've never told you,
How much I care for you
But you know,dont you, Ma?
You know everything,my Ma.

Dont leave me alone in crowds,
I'll lose my way back home
Dont send me places far away,
Where you wont even remember me
Am I so bad, Ma?
Am I so bad, my Ma

When sometimes Papa swings me,
Too high in the air,
My eyes search for you,hoping
You'll come and hole me safe

I dont tell him,
But I get petrified
I dont let it show,
But my heart sinks
You know everything,dont you,Ma?
You know everything,my Ma

I've never told you,
How scared I am of the dark
I've never told you,
How much I care for you
But you know,dont you, Ma?
You know everything,my Ma.

Taare Zameen Par...literally

First things first, if you miss on TZP you are indeed missing something... I cried like a damn child through half of the movie. I don’t know why but it seemed like I was the only one crying so much in the damn hall. But it’s not my fault, the movie hit me where it hurts the most. I’m going to go out of my way to advertise this movie because everybody needs to see it. It may have it’s glitches and stuff, but I had no time to even notice those. From the beginning till the end, it was too good. And whatever somebody might say, I don’t think anyone except Aamir Khan could have done this. He seems unreal when he does things like this.

Aamir Khan has been accused of stripping people’s roles in movies but in this movie, the child was the hero, and he is an amazing actor. It almost feels like he’s actually like that. Aamir Khan only comes in the second half and that’s commendable considering that he’s produced as well as directed the movie.The kid is so good that you hardly notice that Aamir dosent make an appearance until the interval.

Obviously, it’s about kids but it’s not like the adults will not like it. I believe some of them will look inside them and realize how wrong they have been. It’s just that..people just judge you by the marks you get and not by anything else. And it’s not fair. Nobody tries to talk to you and help you figure out your life. (this I have experienced myself).

Everybody just goes about telling you how the world is so mean out there and you need to get good grades to survive. Damnit, I already know all that. Why doesn’t anybody understand what’s going on in somebody’s mind when they’re being labeled a failure and a useless person? I don’t have any more words cause I might start crying again. But here’s cheers to the kid, Aamir and everybody else who made this movie possible. The world really needs to wake up and try to understand how a child should be treated. We call ourselves humans but we aren’t any better than animals. Every child is special, but most of us refuse to face it. We only want toppers and first rankers in our family. When everybody’s kids can, why can’t our kid do it? So we should make sure we make his life hell and force him into doing it..

I would highly recommend this movie to all... its a very sensitive story about young children, although it talks about kids with dyslexia but i think the subject is very much applicable to all kids these days... its not uncommon to hear about suicides due to poor performance in studies these days... its too much pressure to perform from parents/ teachers/ peers these days... hopefully it can be our entry for oscars next year!

Music is very good, and i had not heard the "Ma" song till I saw the movie... the song is just too much with its lyrics and picturization... you could almost feel yourself crying..I for one was sobbing in this song :P... I could get the same feeling as with "luka chupi" from RDB... besides the movie scores in screen play/ dialogues as well, some of the scenes have amazing dialogues to match the intensity required at all fronts... watch out for the "khyaal" sequence between Aamir and kid's father... ...

Just loved the dialogue by Aamir "Apne sapno ka bojh apne bachhon ke kandhon par rakh do....Its worse than child labour".....Or maybe I loved this dialogue so much because I could relate with it too much.Same goes for the movie :-)...not that I am dylexic or anything but am doing something that I didnt wanted to...not that anyone forced me but I knew its whats gonna make everyone happy..Infact when I look back I dont even know what I wanted to become at some point of time.It has always been what others want.Dont even remember if I ever had a dream of my own :)...I guess thats why still havent been able to become anything :)...Anyways lets get back to the movie :)

I know its not gonna happen but the kid should get the best actor in a leading role award of 2007.

One of the most beautiful movie I have ever seen.One needs to be so sensitive to have a vision like this.Hats off to Aamir Khan...not just an actor,director,producer (although thats commendable too) but most of all as a human being.

Some movies are made to spread a message, they are made with pure passion, and not because they would / Should do good at the box office, believe me this is one movie that might change your perseption about a lot of things. Never ever in my entire life have I seen my mom crying in a movie.But it happened.And that itself says what a special movie it is.I rest my case :-)

Aankhon mei teri....

Aankhon mein teri
Ajab si ajab si adayein hai
hoo Aankhon mein teri
Ajab si ajab si adayein hai

Dil ko bana de jo patang saanse
Yeh teri woh haawaien hai

Aai aisi raat hai jo
Bhahut khush naseeb hai
Chahe jise door se duniya
Woh mere kareeb hai
Kitna kuch kehna hai
Phir bhi hai dil mein
Sawaal hai kahin
Sapno mein jo roz kaha hai
Woh phir se kahun ya nahi

Aankhon mein teri
Ajab si ajab si adayein hai
hoo Aankhon mein teri
Ajab si ajab si adayein hai

Dil ko banade jo patang saa se
Yeh teri woh haawaien hai

Tere saath saath aisa
Koi noor aaya hai
Chand teri roshni ka
Halka sa ek saaya hai
Teri nazaron ne dil ka kiya jo hashar
Asar yeh hua
Abb in mein hi doob ke ho jau paar
Yehi hai Dua

Aankhon mein teri
Ajab si ajab si adayein hai
Hoo Aankhon mein teri
Ajab si ajab si adayein hai

Dil ko banade jo patang saanse
Yeh teri woh haawaien hai




This is my favorite song these days because it’s beautiful both lyrically and musically. It has been sung by K.K. who happens to be one of the most amazing yet underrated singers in the country. This song comes to Shahrukh Khan's mind whenever he sees Deepika Padukone in his home production, Om Shanti Om.I like it so much because I feel for every single line in the song. It’s just so meaningful. It’s nice to see such a song coming out because it’s like a breath of freshness in between those typically cheap Bollywood numbers (this does not include TZP and Saawariya).

Now for those of you who aren’t Indians and hence can’t understand the song, I will try to translate it and give you the gist.(Doing this because I can see a lot of foreigners visiting my blog and my my its not just from a small part of the world but almost all around the world...Can hardly miss a country there...So even if I hardly get any comments these days know that my blogs getting popular and really rocking!! :D )
It’s not going to be very accurate but I think you’ll get the basic idea.

Aankhon mein teri
Ajab si ajab si adayein hai
Dil ko banade jo patang saanse
Yeh teri woh haawaien hai

There’s some different appeal in your eyes.
Your breath is the wind that makes my heart fly like a kite.

Aai aisi raat hai jo
Bhahut khush naseeb hai
Chahe jise door se duniya
Woh mere kareeb hai
Kitna kuch kehna hai
Phir bhi hai dil mein
Sawaal hai kahin
Sapno mein jo roj kaha hai
Woh phir se kahun ya nahi

A night that’s very lucky has come
The one everybody loves from far away is close to me.
There’s so much to say yet there’s a question somewhere
Should I say again what I say everyday in my dreams?

Tere saath saath aisa
Koi noor aaya hai
Chand teri roshni ka
Halka sa ek saaya hai
Teri nazaron ne dil ka kiya jo hashar
Asar yeh hua
Abb in mein hi doob ke ho jau paar
Yehi hai Dua

There’s some light that’s coming with you
And the moon is just a shadow of your light.
Your look is having some effects on my heart
And my only wish is that I can get to the shore drowned in your looks.

OK, that didn’t come out too well. Basically you can’t get the emotion unless you’re familiar with the language and the situation this song comes in. But you get what I mean don’t you? Even if you don’t, there’s still something left in this post so don’t go away!

Based on the love that I’ve developed for this song, I have a few questions in my mind which I’d like to ask anybody who’s reading this.

Question 1: Do you believe that a certain song can match your situation so well that it feels as if it was just written for you? If yes and if you wish, you can mention the song.

Question 2: Do you believe that a song has the power to make you cry every time you listen to it because there are some memories attached? If yes and if you wish, mention the song.

Love Byte

What does a woman have to do to understand a man??? Why are these creatures so complicated and hard to figure out and in spite of all that, why do we still fall in love with them? Are we poor at catching hints or the hints too subtle? Or are they meant to be subtle - isn't that why they are called hints in the first place???

Why is it so difficult to cross the line from friendship to love? I can think of a hundred reasons to justify this but none of them will hold water for more than 30 seconds! Why are we so content to hold on to what we have and not ask for more? Being the best of friends, sharing anything and everything, but is that sustainable? Why do we remain friends? To what end? Do we feel guilty when we think of taking the relationship to a different level?

Are we afraid of someone or something? Are we afraid it won't work out? If we remain friends, it won't work out anyways! Then what are we afraid of? Of losing each other? What kind of friends were we then, anyway? Too many questions?And no answers. That's the problem. We think too much before taking the plunge.




Sigh!!!

Real worried about a very very dear friend.Time is not good for him.Just hope and pray to God that he is okay :-s

Damn...I hate it!!!

Why do I build expectations when I know they won't be fulfilled?
Why don't people understand how much happiness one can get with small things and gestures?
Why do I get upset over stupid things, knowing that they are stupid?
Why can't I concentrate on studies right now... F***.. I have lots to do!!!

The Birthday Gift

Here comes my next story.I am sure most of you are gonna make out its inspired from what and if you do then do tell me about it :P and like always any comments are welcome :)

“Whaat?? How can you be so mean, so unreasonable?” she yelled at him, shock and agony on her face.

He was still as indifferent as ever, as unresponsive. She was staring at him, and on the verge of freaking out completely. He opened his mouth as if to say something, and almost as if suddenly deciding otherwise, turned back to leave. She only managed to blink once in astonishment. He was gone!She felt numb for thirty seconds, then suddenly came to life and shouted at the top of her voice “Hey wait! Listen. You can’t….”

She stopped midway. She knew he was already far away from the range of her sight and sound. Even if he weren’t, it wasn’t going to be much different. Her words were going to fall on deaf ears anyway. She knew this too well. She knew him too well.

Sigh.

Now this was what she called her daily dose of frustration. Only that this time it seemed like a double dose!

“Aaaaaaaawww Gaaaaawwwwwwwdddddddd”

She collapsed back on her bed, hands on her forehead.
How could he be so heartless?
Yes life was getting tough with him of late, but ups and downs are normal in relationships, right!
Maybe I should be more patient. Maybe this is temporary, maybe it’s due to stress…Oh whatever, but he should also understand na.
Gaaaaaaaawwwwddd...not today!

Memories of five years ago rushed back to her. It was a month after their engagement. They had spent the entire day together, and had such a beautiful time together she almost cried at the memory. It was her best birthday till date. And today he didn’t even remember her birthday this morning!!!
She had waited initially, but was actually so confident of his memory that she herself reminded him before he left for work.

“Oh darling, so sorry…Happy birthday. Many many happy returns of the day. Tell me what do you want?”
“A quiet romantic evening here at home tonight. Just the two of us. I’ll make the preparations.”
“Ok…I’ll be home!”

He had promised her the evening. She had hoped everything would become all right after that. And now?

A Single tear rolled down her cheek.

Somehow, after 15 minutes, she picked herself up to get ready. He had said 7 o’clock and she knew he meant it. He loved these stupid business-meetings-cum-parties of his, and he liked being on time always. She dressed up and sat down waiting-waiting for him to come, waiting to get lost herself yet again in a milling crowd of pseudo-civilized men and ladies, where she swayed alone from one corner of the room to the other with an artificial smile pasted firmly on the face, trying occasionally to spot the collar of his suit from amongst the middle of a noisy group that included as many hardcore money-makers as party-hopping socialites.

She didn’t have to wait too long. He returned earlier than 7; apparently his appointment with the lawyer had taken him less than he had expected. He looked happy, and was even more pleased to see her ready already. They didn’t talk much then or in the car- he had almost forgotten her birthday and his promise, he had almost forgotten her. Sometime later she asked:“Where are we going”?
"Maurya!"

Maurya? Hadn’t he said Taj at home…anyway how does that matter…

They reached Maurya in another ten minutes. As they entered the lobby, his phone rang.
“One second darling, I have an important call. Why don’t you go in? The party is in Hall 2. I’ll just join you!”

Reluctantly, she moved in, alone. As she reached Hall 2, she was surprised to find it completely dark and silent.

Did I hear him wrong? He said hall 2, didn’t he?

She was about to turn back, when suddenly the huge central chandelier in the hall brightened up, and a number of bright, jubilant faces simultaneously broke into the birthday song.

“Happy birthday to you….”

She gasped in surprise and happiness. Right in front of her, some twenty feet away, little ahead of the chandelier was the birthday cake-her birthday cake. To its left stood her mother, her brother and his wife. To the right was her best friend with her two-year-old daughter and her husband. The hall was full of friends, acquaintances and relatives. It was a full-fledged rocking party- her birthday party! She slowly moved a few paces ahead.

How unlike my husband to plan a surprise party! How sweet, how thoughtful!But where is the mastermind?

She turned back. He was standing at the door. She smiled back at him affectionately. He gestured her to move ahead. She reached near the cake, right below the huge chandelier. Congratulations and greetings poured to her from all corners of the room. It was time to cut the cake and begin the party.

Why isn’t he here yet?We should cut the cake now.
Ohhh...it’s such a beautiful party. I love him so much.
Everything is going to be all right now. I love him.
Where is he but?

She turned back for the second time. He was standing at the door.

What’s he doing there now?

“Come up” she whispered as she waved to him. He was looking straight into her eye, but didn’t nudge, or respond. She noticed his right hand move slightly in his pocket. It looked like some sign, but she didn’t understand.

What?

Suddenly he broke into a wry smile- very wicked, very cruel, and very victorious. Bewildered, she continued to stare at him as the wicked smile developed into a sly grin.

Thunder, darkness, a scream, a fall, the end!!!!!!!!!!!!
The chandelier had fallen right on her. She died in the accident.

Merry Merry time :)

Need I say more????

Merry Christmas Everyone :D

If the internet....

... was a chemical, they'd have to ban it.

It's far too addictive. I spend more time with my online friends than I do with 'real' friends. And most of my friends have a pretty big online presence, too.

Is this a bad thing? I don't know. I do know that a lot of my online friends are far more understanding than some of my old and real friends have ever been. We can sit and talk all night (yes, I've done that) without getting in each other's faces.

Strange world, when you can be soulmates with someone halfway across the world... and not know the name of your neighbours.

And mind you thats not the case just with me.




Hmmm.

Crazily,insanely,stupidly,idiotically I do....






Hunh when will I learn :((

The Fern And The Bamboo Tree

One day she decided to quit.... she quit her studies, her relationship, her Spirituality.. She wanted to quit her life. She went to the woods to have One last talk with God.

"God", she said. "Can you give me one good reason not to quit?"

His answer surprised her...

"Look around", He said. "Do you see the fern and the bamboo?"

"Yes", she replied.

"When I planted the fern and the bamboo seeds, I took very good care of Them. I gave them light. I gave them water. The fern quickly grew from The earth. Its brilliant green covered the floor. Yet nothing came from The bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo.

In the second year the Fern grew more vibrant and plentiful. And again, Nothing came from the bamboo seed. But I did not quit on the bamboo".He said.

"In the third year, there was still nothing from the bamboo Seed. But I would not quit."

"In the fourth year, again, there was nothing from the bamboo seed. But I would not quit."

He said. "Then in the fifth year a tiny sprout emerged from the earth. Compared to the fern it was seemingly small and insignific ant.

But just 6 months later the bamboo rose to over 100 feet tall. It had Spent the five years growing roots. Those roots made it strong and gave It what it needed to survive. I would not give any of my creations a Challenge it could not handle."

He said to me. "Did you know, my child, that all this time you have Been struggling, you have actually been growing roots. I would not quit on The bamboo. I will never quit on you. Don't compare yourself to Others.

"He said. "The bamboo had a different purpose than the fern, yet, they Both make the forest beautiful."

"Your time will come," God said to me. " You will rise high!"

"How high should I rise" She asked.

"How high will the bamboo rise?" He asked in return.

"As high as it can?" She questioned.

"Yes." He said, "Give me glory by rising as high as you can."

She left the forest.




I hope these words can help you see that God will never give up on you...




Never regret a day in your life.
Good days give you Happiness.
Bad days give you Experiences.
Both are essential to life.
Keep going...
Happiness keeps you Sweet,
Trials keep you Strong,
Sorrows keep you Human,
Failures keep you Humble,
Success keeps You Glowing,
But Only God keeps You Going!



God is so big He can cover the whole world with his Love
and so small He can curl up inside your heart.

Mooning on...

"There! Look at the moon. Isn't it amazingly pretty? Bright, full, hopeful. Now look again. Do you see the craters, the dents on its face, the pain that even the night can't hide for it? Is the moon smiling? Is it even watching me down here, an insignificant soul walking alone in the darkness of yet another night? Alone? Am I really alone? I have you, don't I? I'm talking to you as I walk. That means I'm not alone. I have you! But who are you? You are also me right. An invisible intangible unassailable version of me. You're everything that's good about me, and also everything that's bad about me. But I still like you. I like talking to you. Others may call me crazy, but...well..if I did not talk to you, wouldn't this walk be a lot lonelier?"

"Tell me, what do you think of the moon? Is it deceptive? Is it an illusion of beauty or a symbol of hope? Why does it conjure romantic images? Tell me, what do you think of romance? Or love for that matter...is it any good? You know for a long time I believed I was in love merely with the idea of love, with the hard-sold concept. But now, I can't see love and hatred as two distinct things any longer. The more I think about it, the more merged and indistinguishable they seem. It's just an intensity, a passion, a rush in the head when everything spins like crazy, a mere emotion. Emotions are silly things. Some people think my biggest problem, or the biggest discomfort I cause is being too emotional. They are discomforted by me, you see. Why do I care about some people? I don't know why, but it seems I do. Emotions again, I guess, but both you and I have both got used to being foolish and hurt over and over. Yeah, being emotional is a problem. But, there's no me separably apart from this problem. There's no me separably apart from you either. You listen and you understand, and at least you never quit on me, even when I do. You're wonderful."

"But if I confess to you, even with you here, I feel incomplete. I know you're listening but I don't know what I'm saying any more. I feel petty and unwanted. As if this long road I'm walking on is going to stay the same forever...long unwinding and alone. As if this night is never going to fade and I'd never hear another voice. And slowly, you'd get tired and fade away too, or you'd simply get bored of my blabber and run away. Heavens, how much do I talk!!(No wonder they hate it) So I was saying, you may run away too, and then my voice would be lost in the emptiness around me and my ears will go deaf by the silence. Would I still continue to walk? Well, what else. As if there was a choice! But look there, I think the moon is smiling."

"Ah no...the moon's hid now. It must have been saying bye to earth. It would have said bye to me too, I'm sure, if it knew I was here. Anyway, it's darker now. But the breeze is great, right. So tell me, what do you think of the breeze..?"

All dressed up....

I know i had vanished somewhere for a while but hey I am back now....just came back from the wedding of my cousin n man was it fun!!! :D n d biggest fun part was jijaji ko khoob loota :p:D....None of my other grown up cousin sisters were able to make it to the wedding...Being alone I got the most special treatment of my life ahem ahem ahem!!!...ye baat aur hai ki akelel hone pe kaam bhi utna he karna pada lolzzzzzz so here are some moments of the wedding to share with you all :)
