This song had always been special to me. I used to love the way he goes "mere kaandhein pe tera sar hota". I used to actually feel like going & placing my sar on that kaandhein. Well... I still love the way he used to go "mere kaandhein pe tera sar hota" ;-)
What amazed me today was... the entire song has just 4 lines in it... :-O
Kaash aisa koi manzar hota, mere kaandhein pe tera sar hota//I wish there was a scene (moment) , where I could rest my head on your shoulders
jama karta jo mein aaye hue sang, sar chupaane ne ke liye ghar hota//Had I saved while I was earning, I would have a roof over my head today
is bulandi pe bahut tanha hoon, kaash mein sabke baraabar hota//I have attained success but I am lonely here, I wish I was just like the others ( ordinary)
usne uljha diya duniya mein mujhe, warna ek aur kalandar hota hai//I was caught in the worldly troubles and desires, else I would have lead a happier life.
Premise :
One of Kiddo's aunt is staying alone. Her husband is abroad on work and her child is with her parent in our native. The child is to continue her studies there.
Kiddo {on hearing these latest developments} : But then aunt will be staying alone, rite?
Me : Yes, she will be syaying alone
Kiddo {coming out of deep thoughts} : I think... some some times... we should go stay with her.. she will be missing her kiddo...
Me {with my mile long} : Yes, that can be done. You just call her and ask her if you can stay over.
Kiddo : No no! Both you & me should stay with her. You can talk to her & take her for movies and keep her happy. I will play with her and keep her happy.
You <beep>!!! Dont you dare certify that Kiddo doesnt have any soft qualities in her without even knowing her!
After one of the yoga event this sat, we friends decided to have breakfast together. As I had taken Kiddo
along with me, they were all curious about her.
She {on learning that Kiddo will be turning 8 in Jan}: How old are you?
Me {confused}: xx yrs
She {going wide eyed & high pitched in shock}: When did you get married? Was it a child marriage?
I still am not sure if that was a good thing or not @-)
She {chirpy & excited} : Why dont we do just soorya namaskaars today for the entire session?
Her enthusiasm brushed on to others in the group. And that was how we decided to do only soorya namaskaars for 30mins. Having a fair idea of their endurance, I did not want them to go any further, unless they were still upto it O:-)
I gave them a feel of the mantras when we started the practice. We did a few sets of soorya namaskaars with manthras and a few with counts. And I asked them to pick the yardstick they are comfortable with - manthras or counts. And they picked the manthras.... :-)
I was just amazed on how everything fell in place when the manthras were chanted. Each manthras were long enough not only to help them get into a posture but also hold the posture for a while. It was just perfect for a well paced session for the day :-)
I dont know about them.. but I was thoroughly excited seeing it all happen.
Kiddo {All squeaky}: Amma!! Your eyebrows doesn't change!!
2mins back... We were having this conversation while Kiddo was brushing her teeth...
Kiddo : Can you do a sad face? Like this :-(
Me {All enthu about the act... Imitates her}
Kiddo : Now can you make a smiling face?
Me {Continues the act}
Kiddo : Now make an angry face?
Me {Obliges}
Kiddo {All squeaky}: Amma!! Your eyebrows doesn't change!!
For a very long time, Kiddo had been wondering why I always wear an angry look on my face. It seems my eyebrows are always in frown mode. I used to keep telling her that... thats how my eye brows are. Today was the day she decided to test it out... :-)
Kiddo {staring at my out-of-shape tummy... or should i say, a well rounded tummy??}: Amma, from
tomorrow, we will give only little rice. You should go on dieting.
Me : Whaaat?????
Kiddo {again, after a few hours}: Amma, you do 40mins of yoga in the morning. 40mins is enough.
Me : Duh?????
I feel myself running behind different threads. There was this one telling me, does she even have a sense of what 40mins is? And then there was this one, how did she get the calibration rite? Is it alright for a growing girl child to be so conscious about 'being healthy'.
As if a health conscious mother & brother wasn't enough... Now I have a health conscious daughter... Aaaaaa :'(
Today, my bro was speaking about divine intervention. That was exactly what I was wondering when two people asked me about my plans on further studies within the span of an hour. If I was to consider the day, that would be 3 people!! :-O
Is it time for that? I am ready for it? Is universe ready to conspire for me??
Shush! I am trying to listen to what the universe is trying to tell me............
Nope! For a change, this time, it was not about me. But that statement did take me to a lot of places I am yet to leave. I am quite familiar with this feedback. How many times have I listened to this? And its the people who brought me up who had to take the heat. In almost all the cases, straight to their face.
But whenever I take a trip back to my younger years... as far as my poor memory would permit me... All I can see is.. parents(including brother) struggling to groom me into this socially acceptable person. They have tried all in the books... I can vouch that I was neither pampered nor spoiled... Yet I turned up the way I am...
A few days back, in one of the local radio channels, the topic of discussion was "Crazy things you have done in the name of Love" and they were taking inputs from the listeners.
30mins into the program & I go... Is that it? Off all these hundreds of thousands of people living in the city... Is this what crazy sums upto??? I could have given a better list on Crazy things I have done! Oh! Wait!! They need to be crazy things while in luuvv... Damn!!
So... what would be the crazy thing you have done???
He to a friend of his : Am I a serious or mature person?
Supposedly his friend was laughing and there was no stopping to it. As for me... Well... lets just leave it at it... Ooo... maybe its time I too paused myself & took some time out to look deep inside...
Its amazing how one connects with a different line every time you listen to a song. Last nite, during my walk, was the first time I noticed this song. And today, this was the first song I listen to when I turned on my music player. Of course, it got into my song-of-the-day category.. O:-)
PS.
My Evil friend... If you find me amazingly calm today... Thank this song... I am still hanging around with this song.. Haven't quite reached home yet O:-) :-D
Apne rang gawaen bin, mere rang mein ghul jao
Apni dhoop bujhaye bin, meri chhao mein aa jao
This was the only translation I could get off the internet. I dont think this translation does any poetic justice.. But I am sure Shreya Ghoshal'sk sweet voice covers it up for that... Just feel the song in her voice......
Apne rang gawaen bin, mere rang mein ghul jao
Apni dhoop bujhaye bin, meri chhao mein aa jao
;-)
I got a feeling incomplete in my heart, Don’t wanna go it alone though we can never be apart, We can never be apart, U make me feel complete coz you are a piece of my heart You’re the one for me I knew it right from the start Yeh, we can never be apart, We can never be apart, we can never be apart.
Mmm… Apne rang gawaen bin, mere rang mein ghul jao//Without losing your own colours,you combine with my colours Ohh.. Apne rang gawaen bin, mere rang mein ghul jao//Without losing your own colours,you combine with my colours Apni dhoop bujhaye bin, meri chhao mein aa jao//Without turning off your lights,combine with my shelter Oh chalo yoon kare,//Oh lets do like that Tum, tum bhi raho, main, main bhi rahoon//You, remain as you are, I, I remain the way I am Hum, hum bhi rahein//We,we remain as we are Oh tum, tum bhi raho, main, main bhi rahoon//You, remain as you are, I, I remain the way I am Hum, hum bhi rahein//We,we remain as we are Teeno mil ke saathchale//All the three lets walk together Saathi janam janam, u me aur hum.//Soulmates for births and births,You I and We U me aur hum, U me aur hum.//You I and We
Apne rang gawaen bin, mere rang mein ghul jao//Without losing your own colours,you combine with my colours Apni dhoop bujhaye bin, meri chhao mein aa jao//Without turning off your lights,combine with my shelter
Jaise baadal paani ka, yaarana hai//Like the cloud is the friend of Water Jaise gul aur khushboo ka, dostana hai//Like the flowers and Fragnance have their friendship Oh Jaise baadal paani ka, yaarana hai//Like the cloud is the friend of Water Jaise gul aur khushboo ka, dostana hai//Like the flowers and Fragnance have their friendship
Waise hee rahein hum tum//Like that only,we would stay Waise hi jiyein hum tum//Like that only,we would win Ohhh Tere mere haathon mein, koi bhi pinjara na ho//No cage in mine or your hands Ek duje par apna,//On one another ours Haq toh ho kabza na, ho har haal mein,//We have right but not capturisation..oh..in every way Tum, tum bhi raho, main, main bhi rahoon//You, remain as you are, I, I remain the way I am Hum, hum bhi rahein//We,we remain as we are Oh…..
When my heart goes on, Misses a beat, I know it’s gotta be you girl, You sweep me off my feet Sweep me off my feet, oh you sweep me off my feet And when the blood from my heart Rushes into my brain, it sends a message to me To say you’re driving me insane, You know you’re driving me insane, driving me insane Love gives your heart the power, to open up and flower Calling it every hour, but its refrained, its refrained
Ek din toh who lamha, bhi aana hai//One day,this moment has to come Dono me se ek ne, chale jaana hai//One amongst us have to go away Ho… Ek din toh who lamha, bhi aana hai//One day,this moment has to come Dono me se ek ne, chale jaana hai//One amongst us have to go away
Baatein yeh sabhi hum tum,//the consequences like all these..we both jaanlein abhi hum tum//Know them right now,we both Oh dono mil ke saath mein,//Oh lets get together and aise jeena seekh lein//learn to live like this Taaki jo peeche rahein, usko na ho mushkilein//So that the one who is left alone... does not get any troubles
In the above verse the song wants to convey the idea that the actor is saying to his soulmate..it is that one day would surely come when one amongst us would have to leave the world...so,lets be prepared for these consequences so that the one who is left alone can lead his life ahead without any troubles
Oh chalo yoon jiye, agar main na rahoon//Oh lets live like,if i were not there Ya tum na raho, hum, hum hee rahein//Or you don't stay in the world and only i'm left Jaise saaya saath chale, saath rahein hardum//Like the shadows walk together,we also would be together U me aur hum, U me aur hum,//You I and We U me aur hum, U me aur hum, U me aur hum, aur hum.
"Pittas have intense appetites and thirst. Don't even talk to a pitta person until they have eaten!"
Now I know why I have a low tolerance level when I reach home from work. Irrespective of the time I reach home, I am hungry. The irritability, besides being a part of the nature... I believe, food is one of the very few things I get to enjoy where ever my life is at present. I go furious if someone tries to ruin that experience for me X-(
Oh! I am hungry... Lemme go have something sweet... ;-)
Whatever Kiddo becomes, will be your and only your mandate.Every decision has been yours, and one sided.
Amen!
PS.
Kiddo... They say... Thoughts manifests action. I surely have good thoughts for you. You too hang in there. The rest we will see as they come... Mmmmmuah!
I observed a stark difference in the lazy sundays when I am alone at home and lazy sundays when I am alone
at home WITH MOM AROUND. Lazy sundays with self is epitome of laziness. I spend the whole day doing nothing towards the greater good :"-)
But with mom around.. even the TV is not yours anymore. So out of sheer boredom, I ended up doing something or the other. I am not saying I finished my long pending important tasks, but atleast dirtied my hands with those small-small things I had been putting away all this while....
But the lazy, disoriented land was such a blissful place to live in..... :'-(
I have been having problem with my eyes for a very long time. Mostly on the lines of sensitivity to external
factors like dust & light, redness in eyes. My visits to ophthalmologist have never got any success :-( Well... now I know why... Its all in my Prakruthi... @-)
Signs & Symptoms of Pitta Imbalance (listing only for eyes... as read from banyanbotanicals.com)
Burning, red, or bloodshot eyes, extreme sensitivity to light, and a yellowish tinge in the whites of the eyes are all signs of excess pitta circulating in the system.
What has to be done for taking care of my burning, irritating eyes? (as read from heymonicab.com)
To calm the eyes, massage the feet with ghee or almond oil OR you can talk a stroll barefoot in the cool grass! Cotton balls soaked in milk are also very soothing for irritated, burning eyes.
Maybe I should hire someone to ensure that all these are done!!!
Me {to a friend while snapping out of my reverie}: Summer time is always the worst time of the year for me!
Well.... how else would the summers go for a pitta dominant person? Summer aggravates the pitta imbalances. The moment I heard this statement, as in movies, a lot of scenes from the summers of past years flashed by. Well... at least I understand why I do the things I did(may still do) during the summers. Yes! That does include a lot of things falling apart in me during this time period.
Kiddo.... If you are reading this... and had been wondering why things are the way they are... You were conceived when the imbalances where at its imbalance-most. Irrespective of what people say, its in your nature and it is NOT your fault. But observe yourself and be aware of these things.
