Pakeezah

yes, i remember this hindi movie Pakeezah ... the year 1972 released, Raj Kumar, Meena Kumari starrer in which are immortalised "Aap ke paon dekhe, bahut haseen hai. Inhe zameen par mat utariyega, maile ho jayenge" ... and no, this post has nothing to do with it !!!!

I was writing to my friend poo ... abt something that was cooking between us ;-) ... this is wat i was thinking then !!!
Dil ko lubhati hai, kyun yeh duriyaan,
Kyun lagte hai begane, apno ki parchaiyaan…
Dil ki yeh yaari hai, pakeezah,
Phir kyun kehte hai log ise, gair ya gunaah…
Translated, it goes as...
Why does my heart, still love the distant,
When the shadows of the ones near, go unseen…
This friendship in my heart is pure and sacred,
Then why does the world call it names… and a sin it’s considered…
If you liked it, let me know why??? and if you know, you are the one its written for, then please reply ....
luv,
manoj.

Beach Picnic at Srivardhan/Harihareshwar

This video is compiled from camcorder snaps taken at Srivardhan and Harihareshwar beaches near Mangaon in Maharashtra.
Date : 30th Sept - 1st Oct 2006
Participants: Allen, Arti, Suchitra, Aadi, Deepika, Himanshu, Sachin, Vaishali, Manoj, Indrayani, Rajeev, Pooja & Vimal !!! All from my Project team at i-flex....


[kudos to Vimal for this excellent creation.... ]

Synopsis : The twin beaches of Harihareshwar and Sriavrdhan offer an idyllic picnic spot just 4 hours from Mumbai. The beaches are clean and one can enjoy a kinda private beach getaway. Ideal duration of the trip is 2 days. Do visit the Diwe Agar 'Suwarna Mukh (golden) ganpati' temple. The route from Srivardhan to Diwe Agar runs parallel to the shore line for quite a length and is pleasant to watch. Adequate accomodation is available in the villages in case you are unable to book your acco beforehand. Definitely recommended for large groups and families wanting to chill it out by the waves !!!!

I feel Loved ...

I would like to settle down with two women; really ... two very beautiful women … yes, beauty doesn’t come up unless you go deep down … and how much do I realise even now, that I shall always love the other women much more than my wife ... you see the grass is always greener on the other side… and so I shall have a woman who I shall adore and accept as the cynosure of my eyes (aankhon ka noor) … a person, I shall like to see the rising sun in the eyes of… a person who shall awaken me with a touch of her light hairs on my face … my lovely daughter…. And if somebody shall ask me how I feel when I am with her ….i shall have just a few words … 'I feel Loved'!!!

Would you...?

Would you greet me with a wonderful smile ?
Or fight the next moment coz i am late to meet you?

Would you call me names when i say you are growing old?
And then rememeber the beautiful moments we have seen?

Would you call me if I dont happen to call you as promised?
Or get angry if i say something daft or stupid?

Would you always recognise my voice when i call you?
And miss me when I am not around?

Would you tickle me to make me laugh?
Or let me comfort you if you are feeling low?

Would you still say I am your best friend...UBFF?
And trust me to share your deepest secrets with me?

Would you be the friend i have always wanted?
A friendship for life is only what i ask for....

Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna ...

Two rousing renditions of the zealously patriotic poem Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna …
I swear I had this feeling of a seemingly strong fervour of patriotism as I heard this one !!!!!!!


Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna - Rang de Basanti

Hai liye hathiyaar dushman taak mein baitha udhar
Aur hum taiyyaar hain seena liye apna idhar
Khoon se khelenge holi gar vatan muskhil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai

Haath jin mein ho junoon katt te nahi talvaar se
Sar jo uth jaate hain voh jhukte nahi lalkaar se -2
Aur bhadkega jo shola-sa humaare dil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai

Hum to ghar se nikle hi the baandhkar sar pe qafan
Chaahatein liin bhar liye lo bhar chale hain ye qadam
Zindagi to apni mehmaan maut ki mehfil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai

Dil mein tuufaanon ki toli aur nason mein inquilaab
Hosh dushman ke udaa denge humein roko na aa
Duur reh paaye jo humse dam kahaan manzil mein hai
Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaare dil mein hai – 2

Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna - Ramprasad Bismil

Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamaray dil mein hai,
Dekhna hai zor kitna baazuay qaatil mein hai
Karta nahin kyun doosra kuch baat cheet,
Dekhta hun main jise voh chup teri mehfil mein hai
Aye shaheed-e-mulk-o-millat main teray oopar nisaar,
Ab teri himmat ka charcha ghair ki mehfil mein hai
Waqt aanay dey bata denge tujhe ay aasman,
Hum abhi se kya batayen kya hamare dil mein hai
Khainch kar layee hai sab ko qatl honay ki ummeed,
Aashiqon ka aaj jumghat koocha-e-qaatil mein hai

Short of words...

These few words (quite a few actually, tho' just in number) are dedicated to my friend Hari and express my search for a nice birthday gift for him when we were away on a sojurn to sheetal's place on her marriage. I just tried to pen down a few lines for my dear friend... Hope you get the time to read this, PoTTeR :) I want you to read it !!!!

Short of words...

It was your birthday and time for fun,
What better time to celebrate life in a sojourn
I wished to get a gift for you,
Or maybe a card to express my love.
Hari PoTTeR
I searched for a little something
Just to express what was on my mind.
There was nothing however, I could find
That captured it in the right spirit.

How could I expect of someone else
To convey, just what I’d like to say
I thought I did pen it down myself,
I never knew it would be all so hard.

I close my eyes and see a person I adore
U’ve been beautiful, right into your soul
The caring nature shared with all you know
How do I portray all the love I have known?

The gentle temperament and the sweet smiles,
Your comforting sentiments that went miles,
The twinkle in your eyes that someday lit me,
Your laughs have brought many a sparkles.

Your words to soothe the flurry in my mind,
The way your gestures lighten my moods.
All the things bygone come flashing to me,
It’s been a nice journey all through the years.

All the wonderful qualities that you show
Mere words cannot sketch the picture of you...
I struggle and search in vain for words
To capture all it is, that makes you.

I wish you see just what I feel,
Words I write can merely hope to express
Our friendship is no coincidence in life,
We shall stand together in spite of strife.
