Simply Divine!

This 31st December was best ever year end that I have ever had!!

I had the previlege of attending a katcheri by Sri Sri Vidhyabhushana Theertha Swamiji at the Raghavendra temple at Ayanavaram, at the occasion of inauguartion of their charitable trust called "Sri Raghavendra Granthalaya".

Swamiji's songs and his voice were simply divine. He sang some of Purandara Dasa and Kanaka dasara padgalu.

I was very disappointed when my all time favourite song "Pillangoviya chelluva Krishna", which is one of kanaka dasara padagulu, was not a part of the concert.. But I did enjoy every moment of the song "Ishtu Idhna e Vaikunta Eshtu dooravu" .. It was simply divine...
And I am glad that I was blessed enough to see Swamji.

And to share the bliss with you all.. Here is the kannada song which I love the most..

pillangoviya cheluva kriShNana elli noDidhiri
rangana elli noDidhiri?
elli noDidha alli thaan illa dhillavendu baalla jaanaru

nandhagopana mandhiragaLa sandhugondinali
chandha chandhaha Gopaala baalara vrundh Avanadadali

Ha Raham (Mehfuz) from the movie Aamir

Allah…

aani jaani… hai kahaani…
bulbule si… zindgaani…
banti kabhi bigadti…
tez hawa se ladti, bhidti…

ha raham, ha raham, farma e-Khuda…
ha raham, ha raham, farma e-Khuda…
mehfuz har kadam karna e-Khuda, e-Khuda
mehfuz har kadam karna e-Khuda, e-Khuda…

Allah…

saanson ki sooti… dor anoothi…
jal jayegi… jal jayegi…
band jo laaye the, haath ki muthhi…
khul jayegi… khul jayegi…

armaan kare kayaa ye ujlee…
mitti mein mil jayegi..
chaahe jitni shamaayein raushan kar le…
dhoop to dhal jayegi, jayegi…

ha raham, ha raham, farma e-Khuda…
ha raham, ha raham, farma e-Khuda…
mehfuz har kadam karna e-Khuda, e-Khuda
mehfuz har kadam karna e-Khuda, e-Khuda…

sone chamak mein, sikko khanak mein…
milta nahi… milta nahi…
dhool ke zarron mein, dhoonde koi tu…
milta wahin… milta wahin…

kya majaal teri marzee ke aage…
bando ki chal jayegi…
thaame ungli jo tu kathputli bhi…
chaal badal jayegi, jayegi..

ha raham, ha raham, farma e-Khuda…
ha raham, ha raham, farma e-Khuda…
mehfuz har kadam karna e-Khuda, e-Khuda
mehfuz har kadam karna e-Khuda, e-Khuda…


This is a song from the movie "Aamir". I loved this song as much as i liked the movie. Rajeev Khandelwal is a wonderful actor. And the music director Amit Trivedi has done a great work.. hats off to him ..

Comfortably Numb - Pink Floyd

Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I cant explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick. [ping]
Therell be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe its working. good.
Thatll keep you going for the show.
Come on its time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I cant hear what youre sayin.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.

Irregardless

I don't need you anymore
You left me feeling sore
But now that's no more
How I loved you with all my heart
Until we had to part
Oh how you broke my heart
Now I don't need you anymore
You left me feeling sore
But now that's no more
I used to wish that you would stay
Even just for another day
Now I'm glad you didn't stay
Cause I don't need you anymore
You left me feeling sore
But now that's no more
I have gotten over you
Now I can say that's true
I no longer love you
And I don't need you anymore
You left me feeling sore
But now that's no more
Yeah I don't need you anymore
You left me feeling sore
But now that's no more
No now that's no more

Artist: Harmony Lyrics

koi fariyaad

My husband plays this song in the car whenever he finds me in a very bad mood. And I happened to be in one such bad mood over this weekend. The moment the play button was pressed, flashback scenes came rushing to my head and I could see those tortoise mosquito coils going round and round.


We watched this movie on friendship day of our college final year. We loved the songs. I remember, the whole of our batch, sitting in one room, hearing to this song , over 100 times on one night.

koi fariyaad, tere dil mein, dabee ho jaise
tune aankhon, se koi baat, kahi ho jaise
jaagte jaagte, ik umr, katee ho jaise
jaan baki, hai magar saans, ruki ho jaise


(Priyanshu Chatterjee’s dialogue: jaanta hun, aapko sahare ki zarurat nahi, main sirf saatah dene aaya hun)

har mulaqat pe, mehsoos, yehi hota hai
mujhse kuch, teri nazar, pooch rahi ho jaise
raah chalte, hue aksar, ye gumaah hota hai
wo nazar chup ke, mujhe, dekh rahi ho jaise

ek lamhe, mein simat aaya, sadiyon ka safar
zindagi tez, bohat tez, chali ho jaise
iss tarah pehron tujhe, sochta rehta, hun main
meri har saans, tere naam, likhi ho, jaise

koi fariyaad, tere dil mein, dabee ho jaise
tune aankhon, se koi baat, kahi ho jaise
jaagte jaagte, ik umr, katee ho jaise
jaan baki, hai magar saans, ruki ho jaise

हम बेखुदी में

हम उम्म्म हम हम हम हम आ आ आ चले गए
हम बेखुदी में तुम को पुकारे चले गए हम..
हम बेखुदी में तुम को पुकारे चले गए
सागर में ज़िन्दगी को उतारे चले गए हम॥

देखा की यह तुम्हे हम बनके दीवाना
उतरा हो नशा तो हम ने यह जाना
सारे वोह ज़िन्दगी के सहारे चले गए
हम बेखुदी में तुम को पुकारे चले गए हम॥

तुम तो न कहो हम ख़ुद ही से खेले
डूबे नहीं हमी यूँ नशे में अकेले
शीशे में आप को भी उतारे चले गए
हम बेखुदी में तुम को पुकारे चले गए
सागर में ज़िन्दगी को उतारे चले गए हम..

Gems of Kavi Arasu

பரமசிவன் கழுத்திலிருந்து பாம்பு கேட்டது
கருடா சௌக்யமா யாரும்
இருக்குமிடத்தில் இருந்து கொண்டால்
எல்லாம் சௌக்யமே கருடன் சொன்னது
அதில் அர்த்தம் உள்ளது!

உயர்ந்த இடத்தில் இருக்கும் போது
உலகம் உன்னை மதிக்கும் உன்
நிலைமை கொஞ்சம் இறங்கி வந்தால்
நிழலும்கூட மிதிக்கும்!

மதியாதார் தலைவாசல் மிதிக்காதே என்று
மானமுள்ள மனிதனுக்கு ஒளவை சொன்னது
அதில் அர்த்தம் உள்ளது!

Dreams - Cntd

Was listening to DDLJ songs

Dekha Na Tune Mudke Bhi Peechhe
Kuchh Der To Main Ruka Tha
Jab Dil Ne Tujhko Rokna Chaaha
Door Tu Ja Chuka Tha

Is this is reason for all our deferred dreams?
The opportunity waits, but we don't realise that it is still waiting for us to turn back and grab it. By the time we understand this, its always too late.

And hence the dreams stay forever and sag like a heavy load.

Dylan wins rock's first Pulitzer

He surely deserves it!!

You got a lot of nerve
To say that you're my friend
When I was down
You just stood there grinnin'

I love them

Abhi na jaayo chhodh kar

Abhi na jaayo chhodh kar
ke dil abhi bhara nahi

abhi abhi to aayi ho
abhi abhi to
abhi abhi to aayi ho
bahaar ban ke chaayi ho
Hawa zara mahek to le
nazar zara bahek to le
Yeh shaam dhal to le zara
yeh shaam dhal to le zara
yeh dil sambhal to le zara
main thodi der jee to loon
nashe ke ghoont pi to loon
nashe ke ghoont pi to loon
abhi to kuch kaha nahi
abhi to kuch suna nahi
abhi na jaayo chhodh kar
ke dil abhi bhara nahi

Sitaare jhilmila uthe
Sitaare jhilmila uthe
chirag jagmaga uthe
bas ab na mujhko tokna
bas ab na mujhko tokna
na badhke raah rokna
Agar main ruk gayi abhi
to jaa naa paoungi kabhi
yahi kahoge tum sada
ke dil abhi nahi bhara
jo khatam ho kisi jageh
yeh aisa silsila nahi

abhi nahi abhi nahi
nahi nahi nahi nahi

abhi na jaayo chhodh kar
ke dil abhi bhara nahi

Adhuri aas
Adhuri aas chhodh ke
adhuri pyaas chhodh ke
jo roz yuhi jaayogi
to kis tarah nibhaayogi
ke zindagi ki raaha mein
jawaan dilon ki chaha mein
kayi makaam aayenge
jo humko aazmaayenge
bura na maano baat ka
yeh pyar hai gila nahi

haan yehi kahoge tum sada
ke dil abhi bhara nahi

Haan dil abhi bhara nahi
Nahi nahi nahi nahi

Colour Blind

Written by Darius Danesh and Peter Glenister

Feelin' blue, while I'm trying to forget the feeling that I miss you
Feelin' green, when the jealousy swells and it won't go away in dreams

Feelin' yellow, I'm confused inside
A little hazy but mellow when I feel your eyes on me

Feelin' fine! Sublime!
When that smile of yours creeps into my mind


Nobody told me you'd feel so good
Nobody told me you'd be so beautiful
Nobody warned me about your smile
You're the light, you're the light
When I close my eyes
I'm colour blind

You make me colour blind

Feelin' red, when you spend all your time with your friends and not me instead
Feelin' black, when I think about all the things that I feel I lack

Feelin' jaded, when it's not gone right
All the colours have faded, then I feel your eyes on me

Feelin' fine! Sublime!
When that smile of yours creeps into my mind

Nobody told me you'd feel so good
Nobody told me you'd be so beautiful
Nobody warned me about your smile
You're the light, you're the light
When I close my eyes
I'm colour blind

You make me colour blind

Blinded by the light you shine, the colours fade completely
Blinded by you every time, I feel your smile defeat me

I'm colour blind
I just can't deny this feeling

Nobody told me you'd feel so good
Nobody told me you'd be so beautiful
Nobody warned me about your smile
You're the light, you're the light
When I close my eyes
I'm colour blind

Nobody told me you'd feel so good
Nobody told me you'd be so beautiful
Nobody warned me about your smile
You're the light, you're the light
When I close my eyes
I'm colour blind

You make me colour blind

I'm colour blind
