I don't know why I am posting this....maybe I wanted someone to ask me this...maybe I also wanted to ask someone this...but expectations are brutal and unfair...for everyone...
On the other hand I am thankful to have a family...my parents and sisters who do care about what happens to me..every now and then..:)

“When Christmas bells are swinging above the fields of snow, we hear sweet voices ringing from lands of long ago, and etched on vacant places are half-forgotten faces of friends we used to cherish, and loves we used to know.”
- Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Translation:
Faudel - Tell Me
Tell me how I can do to understand all that
And you, today do I have still the right
To believe in things that don't exist
Tell me how I can do to understand all that
There are moments when I don't know what to think
To not get lost into the oblivion
To not let the time goes by
But I see everything around is turning sour
Without any respect
I think to myself It is like that, life is a long fight
Tell me how I can do to understand all that
And you, does the world will move (change?) one day
There, why I wanted to tell you this
Tell me how I can do to understand all that
Tell me, what hope do we have in this life
Tell me, who mêhédir to understand all that
Tell me, who mêhédir elfim koulchi
If you didn't understand that life is challence
For us every day looks the same
The pain makes us survive together
Tell me how I can do to understand all that
Believe me, love will save us
Love is hope we have in this life
Believe me, love will save us
Gomli...

"Tenu Bhul Gyae" is another good song. An interesting version of "Nit Khair Mangan".The song "Chandni Raaten" from the same album went on to become a huge hit. Also check out the version of "dil ke armaan"....its a sad thing to have happened to a sad song..:(..
Overall though...I am glad I owned this tape..
Let me know please if you find these songs (other than chandani raaten)on youtube!
Another fav. that even my mom is well aware of ;)...:p
btw..Adagio means a piece of music with a slow tempo and Samba is a brazilian dance form.Though that might not be what the performers had in mind when they named it.Dunno.
A really cute and touching song from the movie "Chhoti Si Baat".The movie is a must watch if you have'nt already seen it :).

And that which was , though eternally bound by friendship and love... was ended.
How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on... when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are somethings that time cannot mend... some hurts that go too deep... that have taken hold.
Each of us must come and go in the telling.You cannot always be torn in two. You will have to be one and whole for many years. You have so much to enjoy and to be and to do. Your part in the story will go on.
- modified dialog from Lord of the Rings - The Return of the King
The best way to become better at any sport is by improving on the five basic elements of your athleticism:
Speed , Power, Agility, Reaction, Quickness
Another one of Faiz's writings..njoi!

In an enthusiastic bout of spring cleaning yesterday , my nth attempt at revitalizing my old Dell finally paid off! Yay for that...and for the memories it refreshed...all the old fotos ( 2 years old..;)..) and chat conversations..:p...
Faiz's nazam accurately describes what I was feeling early evening yesterday :)
kyuuN aNdherii hai shab-e-Gam hai balaaoN kaa nuzuul
aaj udhar hii ko rahegaa diidah-e akhstar khulaa

I have no clue what this song means..I hope its something nice...coz I have been rocking to it for the past 45 minutes..:p...
This must be something of a surprise. If, that is, this letter gets to you. I remembered your address, of course, but then it suddenly struck me that maybe you had moved and I didn't know and anyway the post round here isn't exactly reliable. So perhaps I am only writing a letter to myself.
Really now that I've started I can't think what it was I wanted to say. I think it was just the act of writing that was important, just to feel as if I was still in contact with things, although I guess a blank piece of paper in an envelope would have seemed a little strange.
I've really no need to ask how things are with you. It all seems to have worked out pretty much as you planned. But still I hope you are both healthy and happy.
I am afraid I've done nothing very exciting to tell you about. Here is just an endless succession of long boring tasks, and then there's the heat and the clouds of flies that rise from the river and make everything twice as hard.
Maybe that's why I am writing this letter. Perhaps it's thinking about England in the summer, perhaps it's the sounds of the river at night but my mind wandered back to the place of long afternoons, listening to Pink Moon and Lay Lady Lay. Can you still find a way back to the taste of cheap wine, the feel of grass between your fingers and a world that was all shimmering reflections?
All those people disappeared into the world. How would they be recognized now - perhaps only by the sound of their laughter?
Do I remember that September evening when I first met you? Is it possible to remember the slide into sleep or the hypnotist's fingers on your eyelids? I only know that it happened because at some stage I awoke.
Some things are clear, the lucid fragments of a dream, a conversation over the phone one Easter.It's okay, you said, it doesn't matter, because it will end and time passed is all the same, and anyway, in the end it's not time that you're left with.
You told me to go look for happiness and bring some back when I found it. But you can't bank happiness. You can't keep it for when you need it and you cannot give to someone else simply by having it yourself.
I thought I would be content to watch the river flow past and drift away on the scent of water lilies. I watched days become nights and nights gently give way to days, believing I was shedding my cares when really I was storing regrets. Now I know that reading is dreaming, that dreaming is sleeping and thought inaction. When I wake I find that all I have left is thoughts of you.
I still can't believe you decided to go. Why go back to the grey, the dirt, the noise, the rush? There is a lifetime to do those things. I know you chase that dream of yours, but the dream is so sweetly deferred here. Here I feel as if I am absorbing the sunshine and serenity.
I am writing this in a flickering of orange and blackness. This is the best time, talking and reading, the world melting away into words, although sometimes a phrase is so beautiful I have to walk around a little just to let them settle in. One of these made me think of you. 'Do that which makes you happy to do, and you will do right.'

Manwa main mere aandhi hai uthi
par stabdh khaadi hoon mai
saanson mai baandh apni hi saans
nishabd khadi hoon mai
dunya se jeeti jeeti khud se haari
bas dhwast khaadi hoon mai
aiina mai aur aks mai
madmast khaadi hoon mai
jhan jhan jhan jhanjawaat
antar main ghoonje divas raat
ek shunya shunya
kapti vishaal
maya ka madhyam mantrajaal
man ki dasha se larti mai bhidhti
vishwast khadi hoon mai
meri laaj mai hoon
chunar bhi mai hoon
chunar pe daag bhi mai
mai dhwast dhwast
mai nasht prast
mai saral viral main ativish
mai shaam shwet badal mai ret
nirjal si jhari hoon mai
andhiyari raat deepak mai baati
swapnil si pari hoon mai
kanchan ki kaya apna hi saya
bas ukh se dari hoon mai
lakri main geeli dhursi mai seeli
tham tham ke chali hoon mai
mai maya maya mai chaya chaya
atma aur kaya mai
nistabadh khari hoon mai
vishabd khari hoon mai
vishwast khari hoon mai
sarvatr khari hoon mai
I really like this song and am eagerly looking forward to the release of this movie.I hope they play it in the local desi theater here.
mushkil main aasani hai,
taklifon main raahat hai
inse hi aage nikal ja tooh.
himmat ko manzil dega tooh
kyunki tu tanha hi nahi hai.. :* :)
here is the video now..
