Saadgi

Rating:★★★★
Category:Music
Genre: Indie Music
Artist:Lata Mangeshkar
the title track was good ... the music reminded me of Asha Bhinsle's album with Jagjit Singh .. forget the name .... but is the video supposed to be Lataji's way of gettting back at Asha ?? hmmm ... another stupid thing ... is it really SX4 that Amruti wanted to nme thei car ? cos 4 when written in a diffrent way looks a lot like Y ... so tht makes it SXY ! too sexy a name ? stay tuned for more random mumblings :)

... kismet se jo mili hai ...

u guessed it right .. the theme for today;s post is dosti .. friendship, yaari, buddygiri etc etc ... sat there thinking what is it that i am missing the most ... the rains, well probably but i never was very fond of rains .. just liked them because it was an essential part of K .. and they will be here any moment ... do i miss the place ? hmm maybe .. but i never really explored the place that much .. liked it because of the scenic beauty .. true the beach was near and so were a lot of destiantions for random escapades but still ... the campus ? yeah sure ! a lot ! loved that place .. would die for it ! but if i got there two years down the line, what would i do ? look at the new faces ? with some tired of frequent library night outs ?  the place which will be just as difficult to live in as will be Cherrapunji without the comfort of understanding the local language !! No .. i guess not ... probably it was the people who made it better ... well, in a lot of cases, the place also made the people better ... but all in all, without friends, even K would lose its sheen ... yeah, a lot of gooood memories still remain .. with every little nook and corner of the insti, it will be dificult to relive hem without the ones who were the very reason for those memories !

heard this phrase on the tube sometime back .. tried googling for it but to no avail ... amposting it here because this is one place where i believe it fits - "main gira tha to ruk gaye the sare, lekin sochta hoon uthane aye kitne" and pretty true. some stopped to laugh, some to comment on my stupidity, but only the dearest ones picked me up and helped me stand again ... and i have been very lucky in that sense !
Salutes doston ! Miss U all !

Gandhiji Rocks !

am not talking about a dhoti clad person who would fast until death .. i am not talking about those round glasses or khadi spun on a charkha ... yep those were his ideals and symbology but carying on those things without paying attention would not make that much sense to me .. mind you, i am a big khadi fan but mostly for different reasons ! i am talking about Gandhigiri, or the simplicity of thought and purity of deeds   (  look whos talking !) but yeah i did surprise myself and maybe one other guy, perhaps two ... with what i did ! and the results were unsurprisingly a win for Gandhigiri. be true, dont stumble in the face of adversity and non violence shall guide you to victory ! the violence in this case was at times bad, at times too tempting to retaliate, at times too compelling to cast doubts on oneself, but in the end, it didnt win ! non violence did ! yeah, i wasnt purely a saint, (a bit of Bhagat Singh, a bit of "Bapu ne yeh nahin bola ki doosra thappad khane ke baad kya karne ka") and i did fire a miniature salvo but that served two means - one to make sure that it isnt personal, and were it not for the third guys' insecurity, we wouldnt have come to loggerheads at all ; and next to tell him that i aint a coward or an incapable castrated nerd ! but Godji,  tussi great ho ! and Bapu Rocks !
