Zindagi se darte ho – Indian Ocean (Peepli Live)

Zindagi se darte ho
Zindagi to tum bhi ho
Zindagi to hum bhi hain
Aadmi se darte ho
Aadmi to tum bhi ho
Aadmi to hum bhi hai
Tum abhi se darte ho

Aadmi zubaan bhi hai
Aadmi bayaan bhi hai

Kites – Not all that bad

I am not too sure if I saw a different version or was it thanks to the reviews that I went with zero expectation, But surprisingly I kind of liked Kites.

Change – One word thats enough to rock your world !

Yup it swings both ways. Can rock your world in all senses. Good bad ugly… any which way.

Ironically it is also one topic on which I have conducted quite a few trainings and yet when it comes to the practical implementation I find myself trying not to take the bait.

Yet another day at work…

A half empty or a half full bottle of water on the desk
strokes of an irritable hindi song in the background
people ready to rust in their chairs
time seems to have died in our neighbourhood today

Anticipating a brighter future
angry with the stale present
floating in the daunting memories of the past
dreams seem to have broken in our neighbourhood today

Staring at the to-do list in the diary
struggling to keep the eyes open
forcing a polite conversation
enthusiasm seems to have dried in our neighbourhood today

Post 588 – Living in Mumbai

Why this peculiar post name?

Well thats how this post was saved in my drafts for a very long time and I am feeling too lazy to change it to anything else now.

The post earlier had a list of movies I had seen in theatre ever since i moved to mumbai. But I guess it got too much for me to update. The list is pretty long now…

I dont think I have watched as many movies in my life as I have in the last one and a half years. Well thats what your mode of entertainment really boils down to every weekend when you live in a city where you have no family but a handful of friends.

Life has been busy in Mumbai. And before you jump the gun… let me clarify that this is not just another ranting session about mumbai…its actually much more.

I have been here for a few months short of two years now and I havent really had a day where I feel at peace in this city. While I do agree there are a few things that I LOVE about this place (dont be too quick to smile) but it loses on the balance handsdown to the things I HATE about mumbai.

Let me put those things here for your to understand where I am coming from…

Well ….ok now I just did !

Saw him last night strolling in the compound along with his wife… couple looked quite lovey dovey.. have no comments to offer on the case though…

One shall only wait and watch !

Happy New Year guys !

And another one goes by… but this one just flew…
I dunno whether its married life or this city that you feel that lifes zipping past you.

Loads was done, accomplished, learnt, felt, regretted…last year.

Hopefully this year too there will be new learnings, new mistakes and new milestones.

But one thing I definately want to do this year is to dedicate some time off the week to the blog. Have had some interesting stuff to blog about but havent really gotten myself to sit and type.

So i guess this year we shall get to see some meaningful blog enteries… specially on travel and restraunts since thats a huge chunk that I want to write reviews about.

Blog entry on trip to goa…. coming soon !

Diwali in Delhi

Its that time of the year again…post diwali depression setting in.

What intrigues me though is the sheer fact that inspite me so looking forward to this trip… it didnt quite match up to its expectations.

But what did definately … was the ever so awesome delhi food.

There is no denying that Delhi belly is far far superior and tasty than Amchi Mumbai…

I so miss this food in Bombay (boo Raj Thakeray!!)… and ofcourse the family too !

Ajj din chadeya tere rang varga lyrics

Ajj din chadheya tere rang varga
Ajj din chadheya tere rang varga
Phool sa hai khila aaj din

Rabba mere din yeh na dhale
woh jo mujhe khawaab mein mile
usse tu lagade ab gale
tenu dil da vaasta

Rabba aaya din yeh yaar ke
saara jahan chod chad ke
mere sapne sawaar de
tenu dil da vaasta

Ajj din chadeya tere rang varga

Baksha gunaho ko sun ke duwao ko
rabba pyaar hai tune sab ko hi de diya
meri bhi aahon ko sun le duwao ko
mujhko woh dila mene jisko hai dil diya

Aasmaan pe aasmaan usko de itna bata
woh jo mujhko dekh ke hase
pana chahoon raat din jisse
rabba mere naam kar usse
tenu dil da vaasta

Ajj din chadeya tere rang varga

Maanga jo mera hai jaata kya tera hai
maine kaun si tujhse jannat mang li
kaisa khuda hai tu bas naam ka hai tu
rabba jo teri itni si bhi na chali

Chahiye jo mujhe kar de tu mujhko ata
jeeti rahi saltanat teri
jeeti rahe ashiqui meri
dede mujhe zindagi meri
tenu dil da vaasta

Rabba mere din yeh na dhale
woh jo mujhe khawaab mein mile
usse tu lagade ab gale
tenu dil da vaasta

Rabba aaya din yeh yaar ke
saara jahaan chod chad ke
mere sapne sawar de
tenu dil da vaasta

Ajj din chadeya tere rang varga
Ajj din chadeya tere rang vargaaaa…
Din chadeyaaaa..
