Hum Bekhudi Mein – Kalapani (1958)
This is one of my most favorite all time oldies. Picturised on Dev Anand (I admit, I am a HUGE fan is Dev Anand), sung by Mohd. Rafi (all time fav singer) and music by S.D. Burman (Bow to the Super-King!)
Dev Anand’s expressions and the way he lip-sync’s the song … there is no actor who can do that today. And such amazing words … it really seems like words don’t come out of the mind … but it is born in the hearts of every person who wants to beckon the very soul and his eternity!!
Wow …
Watch and listen to experience the trance I’ve gone into …
Lyrics -
hum ummm hm hm hm hm aa aa aa chale gaye
hum bekhudi mein tum ko pukaare chale gaye
hum..
hum bekhudi mein tum ko pukaare chale gaye
saagar mein zindagi ko utaare chale gaye
hum..
dekha ki yeh tumhe hum banke deewana (2)
utara ho nasha to hum ne yeh jaana
saare woh zindagi ke sahaare chale gaye
hum bekhudi mein tum ko pukaare chale gaye
hum..
tum to na kaho hum khud hi se khele (2)
doobe nahin humi yoon nashe mein akele
sheeshe mein aap ko bhi utaare chale gaye
hum bekhudi mein tum ko pukaare chale gaye
saagar mein zindagi ko utaare chale gaye
hum..
ENjoy

You believe it or not … article by Vir Sanghvi
This caught my eye while reading another article of Vir Sanghvi. What I loved about this article was the honesty of a non-believer
http://www.virsanghvi.com/CounterPoint-ArticleDetail.aspx?ID=33
The part that caught my eye was …
The truth is that Christianity is a middle-eastern religion, born in the same general vicinity as Islam. Jesus was a Middle Eastern Jew and probably had dark skin, curly hair, brown eyes and Semitic features. The parallels with Islam do not end there. All three Middle Eastern religions (Judaism, Christianity and Islam) subscribe to the Old Testament and the Koran includes many references to Jesus. Further, the ‘Allah’ whom credulous Americans have come to regard with such dread is a Biblical figure; Allah is simply the Aramaic word for God. The Bible is written in Aramaic so whenever God is referred to, it is as ‘Allah’. And when Jesus talked about his divine father, he probably referred to ‘Allah’.
Say this to most Western Christians and you’ll freak them out….
So, does this mean that whoever wrote the New Testament had some kind of problem with the Jews from the beginning?
This really makes me believe that even God’s words were written with ego and hatred in the back of the mind. How or what is then left to believe? The Bible is considered to be a pure religious text which spreads God’s words after Jesus. What does this spread now?
I am a true believer in the purity of faith and people who write such religious texts (although, yes, I’m a non believer in religion as all it does in today’s world is give you a mark and discriminate you from the other religious believers). But now, religious texts cannot be believed entirely too!
Where in the world is the world going?

Power of a Journalist
Excerpt from a speech of the 26th President of the US, Theodore Roosevelt.
Source: http://www.theodore-roosevelt.com/trsorbonnespeech.html
Actually I found this while reading comments of the Big B’s blog.
It’s AMAZING…
————The power of the journalist is great, but he is entitled neither to respect nor admiration because of that power unless it is used aright. He can do, and often does, great good. He can do, and he often does, infinite mischief. All journalists, all writers, for the very reason that they appreciate the vast possibilities of their profession, should bear testimony against those who deeply discredit it. Offenses against taste and morals, which are bad enough in a private citizen, are infinitely worse if made into instruments for debauching the community through a newspaper. Mendacity, slander, sensationalism, inanity, vapid triviality, all are potent factors for the debauchery of the public mind and conscience. The excuse advanced for vicious writing, that the public demands it and that demand must be supplied, can no more be admitted than if it were advanced by purveyors of food who sell poisonous adulterations.———-

Fwd: Just For Today
After many long stressful days I’ve realized how much I’ve missed. I haven’t stopped to smell the air and wondered on the wonder called Nature which I’ve always done. This forward came as a reminder to me … thus making it a must post.

Over The Rainbow – Harry Nilsson
I watched You’ve Got Mail again tonight. I have seen that whenever I’m anxious, depressed or stressed, light hearted, sweet movies help me relieve my nerves. After the 2 hours of pure bliss I don’t feel that tensed any more. The thing that really calms me down is a story which nice and enticing and enchanting. Although there are problems, they get solved in the end. All the heart aching stuff just culminates into something that warms the heart. And the music … that is such a pain reliever. Geoffrey Latham had said that “Music is the vernacular of the human soul“. He was SO right. It is for the soul. It helps to connect the body with the soul. And the music of “You’ve Got Mail” … well, whatever we say about it it would seem lesser than what I actually feel about it.
The one song that I want to talk about here is the one that I have heard in 2 movies actually … both Tom-Meg starrer – Sleepless In Seattle and of course, You’ve Got Mail.
“Somewhere Over The Rainbow…” as Harry Nilsson swoons in his operatic voice, life seems so beautiful. His larynx does have the power to allure the listener to a world pretty close to heaven.
Btw, FYI Ray Charles sang the same song in “Sleepless In Seattle”. The song is written by E.Y. Harburg and Harold Arlen.
Here I’m sharing the song with you … it is my all time favorites…
Lyrics:
Somewhere over the rainbow, way up high
There’s a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby
Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I’ll wish upon a star,
And wake up where the cloouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops,
Away above the chimney tops
That’s where you’ll find me
Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly
Bird fly over the rainbow, why then, oh why can’t I
If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow,
Why, oh why can’t I?

Kunfu Panda – A Review
Don’t get me wrong, but the first time I heard about Kung fu Panda, all I thought was – it’s just another animated movie. I didn’t understand why my cousin obsessed about this movie. She had set her ringtone and wallpaper with Kung fu Panda’s stuff! I thought it to be childish. But now, after me watching it, I want to set my wallpaper as this Panda too. I understand now. The obsession, the love, the whole hooplah around the movie. I get it. Totally.
Let me tell you, this is not just any animated movie. It’s an inspiration beyond thought. It shows a path where there isn’t any. The concept, along with the animation works, dialogs and voices, is just so … beyond any word describable.
I might be just carried away with the movie. But you have to watch this movie to actually feel what I feel right now.
The story in short: Po, a noodle maker’s son (more like adopted son), dreams of becoming a great Kung fu star. But his reality shows him making and serving noodles and if he does well one day he will earn the right to know the secret ingredient of the “secret ingredient” soup from his father. Then one day comes when through some sheer luck and yearning he gets chosen as the dragon warrior by the greatest Kung fu master of all times. But the fat panda that he is, nobody really believes that he could be the greatest warrior of all times. His teacher also has a hard time believing that and inwardly wishes that he disappears from the premises. Then comes the day when quick decisions have to be taken as an old student of the teacher, who has gone bad, has broken the strongest prison and come out to get hold of the dragon scroll that can only be given to the real dragon warrior. Thus begins the difficult journey of readying Po to fight the battle.
The tension, drama and finally triumph might sound like an old formula. But the moral of self-belief and everything brought together makes it one of the best movies of all times.
I’d suggest that everybody should have a DVD at home. It’s a must watch and a must keep.

American Television Addiction
10 years from now, I was a teenager who just had discipline and studies in her mind. But just after 1st year in college, all the discipline and studies went out of the iron framed window and I was stuck to what the intellent and wise call the “Idiot Box”. 10 years later, I’m here voicing my (parents) dilemma … the Super-Idiot box… the Computer. Many would disagree … How can you call the computer “super idiot”? Obviously the computer is supposed to be the super-intelligent invention of man. But if a person uses it to only watch TV shows and write about them… then? Super-”intelligent”, huh?!
‘Nyways … coming out of the controversy, what I meant was I am watching TV shows nowadays
… loads of them… all the time … and that keeps my computer on for at least 10 hrs a day. Although my connection isn’t that good… but it doesn’t hamper the downloading continuity. After download, I watch them, re-watch them, talk about them with myself… and of course, once in a while write about them and sometimes make videomixes with them… Oh, I keep them in my storage system. And if this doesn’t prove to you the “addiction” part… then…. how about this? … When my computer was down and wasn’t working, I spent hours with headaches, cravings and paranoia. To top it all… I had a persistent body pain and headache. That might also be because of the frequent visits to the computer shops, standing while the computer mechanic looked into the problem and tried to deduce the possible way to revive my (computer’s) life and me thinking up strategies to steal my brother’s laptop from Dehradun!
Ok, now to the American Television viewing part. Ugly Betty, Smallville, Friends, Gilmore Girls, Heroes, Scrubs, Grey’s Anatomy, Hell’s Kitchen … are few of what I watch. Yeah, it’s not ending… cause soon I’m planning to start with ER, House, 24, Hannah Montana, Lost … and more … and more. Addiction part, hence, proved!
Hey Reader to this blog post, are you like me too? If you are … tell me one thing … when does this addiction end? Is there any re-habilitation centres for this kinda thing, like we have for alcoholism, smoking and likes?
Help me! Please!
