Friday Farmaish dil ka….

The one song which seems to be filling my mind since yday, is this one….just dont know how it happened…but u enjoy the side-effects of the song on me….which is this post… 🙂

I dont know if this will continue week after week….let’s see wait and see the funny workings of the human brain… 😉

hum ko man kee shakt dienaa, man wijay kare
dusaron kee jay se pahale, khud ko jay kare

bhedabhaaw apane dil se saaf kar sake
doston se bhool ho to maaf kar sake
zoothh se bache rahe, sach kaa dam bhare
dusaron kee jay se pahale, khud ko jay kare

mushkile pade to hum pe itanaa karam kar
saath de to dharam kaa, chale to dharam kar
khud pe hausalaa rahe, badee se naa dare
dusaron kee jay se pahale, khud ko jay kare

And dont forget to watch those little boys in the first row, trying so hard to close their eyes and lip sync too….damn cute. 🙂

Nothing can be messier than this…

Yet  again, TC makes me think and think differently !!! This week’s topic being MESSY,  I was wondering what to post on this.

Then saw this picture down from my balcony and decided that nothing can be messier than this. This picture is outside the Community Hall in our Apartment, after the lunch session of a Wedding. One of the top places, where there is maximum wastage of electricity, water, food and money is the Wedding….sometimes customs are too expensive to follow, I guess.

An evening to remember…

Zee Classic is the latest addiction to my list. All my fav old hindi movies are coming in this and so another chance for me, to see them all again. 🙂

And so one evening, the TV found itself being surrounded by three girls, watching the classic “An Evening in Paris” !!!

While the Mommy was all praise for the songs, the location, the Sharmila’s beauty and all….the two little girls watched their mom in awe and wonder – Has she become a child again, was their questionable gaze !!!

Whether it is

aasmaan se aaya farishta

pyaar ka sabak sikhlaane

dil mein hai tasveer yaar ki

laya hoon woh dikhlaane (2)

kaho pyaar hai tumse

Sharmila: ja ja

o jaana kaho pyaar hai tumse

Sharmila: ja ja ja

 

Or the evergreen melody

Akele Akele Kahan Ja Rahe Ho

Hamein Saath Lelo Jahan Ja Rahe Ho

Koi Mitt Raha Hai

Tumhe Kuch Pata Hai

Tumhara Hua Hai

Tumhe Kuch Pata Hai

Yeh Kya Majra Hai

Tumhe Kuch Pata Hai

Akeke Akele Kahan Ja Rahe Ho …

 

Or the passionate love song

F: Raat ke hamsafar, thak ke ghar ko chale

Jhoomti aa rahi hai subah pyaar ki

M: Dekh kar saamne, roop ki roshani

Phir luti ja rahi hai subah pyaar ki

 

It was a delight to watch the couple on-screen and listen to the songs – brought back nostalgic moments of my childhood viewing of this movie. 🙂

While the elder one was absolutely stunned at the occurrence of songs, more than the dialogues…the younger one was totally glued to the screen.

The Mom was wondering when did these girls become interested in watching old Hindi hits !!! 😉 The movie got over and as I was stretching myself and feeling the happiness of a good movie watched without disturbance, the younger one observed,

“Hey, this movie is damn good, dude.”

“Really ???? You like it, huh !! I didn’t think that u like old movies…. ;)”

“But this is certainly better than the Chandni Chowk to China, which also has double action lady lead – one good and the other bad.”

It was a total LOL moment for me…. 😀 😀 😀 😀

The Windmills - on the Nagercoil - Tirunelveli route

The Tune which fills my days…

Here’s one song from the Album “Chaants” by Pt Ravi Shankar and everytime I hear this song, it takes me to pure bliss. 🙂 🙂 So wonderful to soothe my nerves and bring me the emotional calm, I always seem to yearn.

So, listen to this and feel the calm that enters your soul.

So, the song is here for you all :

Prabhujee dayaa karo
Maname aana baso.
Tuma bina laage soonaa
Khaali ghatame prema bharo.
Tantra mantra poojaa nahi jaanu
Mai to kevala tumako hi maanu.
Sare jaga me dhundaa tumako
Aba to aakara baahan dharo

 

Here’s the translation, which I got from Youtube.

Prabhujee

Oh Master,show some compassion on me,

Please come and dwell in my heart.

Because without you, it is painfully lonely,

Fill this empty pot with the nectar of love.

I do not know any Tantra, Mantra or ritualistic

worship i know and believe only in you.

I have been searching for you all over all the world,

please come and hold my hand now.

 

 

Mommies, a question for you !!!

Mother of teenage daughters (Me and many like me)

The daughters want us to come to PTA meeting in Jeans and top / kurti. They want us to dress young and avoid the bulky sari. 😉 😉  Saris are for weddings, is the clear idea, among girls.

 

Mother of teenage / college going sons (A few friends with whom I interacted recently)

The sons want their mothers to visit their college in sari only….they insist on not wearing the jeans or salwar suits.  Its Ok to wear jeans to other places, but to college / school visits, sari is a must, says the sons.

 

Half the time, the children decide what they want their mothers to wear !!! What do I say ???? 😉 😉

Does ur teenager decide things like this at home ???? Come on, share with me. 🙂

Peaceful Relaxation

Thursday Challenge never fails to inspire me to think differently. And today is no exception….for finding Peace and to Relax seems to be constant yearning for many. And I’ve found mine, here, with Buddha. 🙂

Come and relax your Soul !!!
