Sawaali Asmaan Tha

There is nothing like a walk in the about-to-rain-bangalore-morning & a song with asmaan in it. Had never paid attention to the lines of this song until today.....

Sawaali asmaan tha
Jawaboon se bhara hai
Zara Dhoop ko badalon se ladne do
Is Dil ko toh Gunguna karne do....

May your Dil Gunguna for the days ahead... Mmmmmmuah!!!

Found the translation here....

I Wanna… Ya Wo…
I Want To Party Your Way Your Way Now…
I Wanna… Aa Wo…
I Wanna Party Your Way Your Way Now…

Sawaali Aasmaan Tha //The sky was full of questions
Jawaabon Se Bhara Hai //Now it is full of answers
Zara Dhoop Ko Badalon Se Ladne Do... //Let the sunlight fight a little with the clouds
Is Dil Ko Toh Gunguna Karne Do… //Let this heart sing a little
Aeee… E Hey…

Haan Kaisi Yeh Hansi Hai //What kind of smile is this
Jo Hothon Pe Phasi Hai //Which is stuck on the lips
Zara Gham Se To Faasle Badhne Do… //Let me increase distance from grief
Is Din Ko To Gudgudi Karne Do //Let me tickle You a little on this day
Aeee… E Hey…

Taake Jhanke //It stares and peeps
Hai Khushi Ki Shararat Kaisi Dekho //Look at all the mischief that happiness is upto
Taake Jhanke //It stares and peeps
Dekho… Toh... //Look
Phurr Se Bhaage... Ho Tum Yeh Phataphat Kaise Dekho… //Look how fast it runs in just an instant
Taake Jhanke //It stares and peeps
Dekho… Toh... //Look
Yeah!

Dil Aisi Ek Jagah Hai //The heart is a place
Ek Jhoola Sa Laga Hai //Where there is a swing attached
Use Khul Ke Toh Pinge Bharne Do… //Let this swing, openly swing a little 
Haan Khayalon Sa Khud Ko Udne Do //Let Yourself fly like Your dreams
Aeee… E… Hey Hey…

Taake Jhanke //It stares and peeps
Hai Khushi Ki Shararat Kaisi Dekho //Look at all the mischief that happiness is upto
Taake Jhanke //It stares and peeps
Dekho… Toh... //Look
Phurr Se Bhaage... Ho Tum Yeh Phataphat Kaise Dekho… //Look how fast it runs in just an instant
Taake Jhanke //It stares and peeps
Dekho… Toh... //Look

Jhad Jhad Phuljadhi //O sparkling fire-cracker
Tu Hai Roshni Ke Fuhaaron Si //You are like a fountain of light
Bul Bul Bul Bula Hai Tu… //You are like a bubble
Sur Hai Surmayi… //Your tune is like collyrium (a lotion or liquid which is used as a cleanser, especially for the eyes, Your tune is pure)
Chiri Raag Tu Darbaari Si //Your Raga is like Raga Darbaari (Raga/Raag is one of the melodic modes used in Indian classical music)
Pallu Dhaar Ka Hai Tu…//You are like the border (most beautiful part) of a Saree (Indian traditional dress)

Sawaali Aasmaan Tha //The sky was full of questions
Jawaabon Se Bhara Hai //Now it is full of answers
Zara Dhoop Ko Badalon Se Ladne Do... //Let the sunlight fight a little with the clouds
Is Dil Ko Toh Gunguna Karne Do… //Let this heart sing a little
Aeee… E… Hey…

Taake Jhanke //It stares and peeps
Hai Khushi Ki Shararat Kaisi Dekho //Look at all the mischief that happiness is upto
Taake Jhanke //It stares and peeps
Dekho… Toh... //Look
Phurr Se Bhaage... Ho Tum Yeh Phataphat Kaise Dekho… //Look how fast it runs in just an instant
Taake Jhanke //It stares and peeps
Dekho… Toh... //Look

Pazhe Song Mood

:-):-):-)

Was in the mood to listen to some old songs today. Here is my day's pick.

Evil... There is one just for you... Or may be... at least one... Let me know if you spot it... :-) 10/10

PS.
The remix version of the old song was intentional. The remix song propelled me into the Nostalgic mood today...

Double Standards?

He is on his vacation. He has been on many such short vacations. But this time I observed something....
We tend to exchange ideas more while he is on vacation!!!

On a regular day... Both of us are busy. When I am free, he is busy. When he is free, I am either busy or irritated. Yea... you know which is more probable... ;-) 

Whatever said and done, we talk more while he is on vacation...

Now that brings me to another question.... 

Then why am I so hard on Him? Why I am showing double standards? Why am I making this insignificant part of His life so difficult? Why do I raise the height of my fort every time He tries to talk to me? If I am happy to interact with one person while he is in a completely relaxed mode.... Why am I not extending it to everyone? Why am I having different standards for different people? 

Sigh! I guess I know the answer... The one that transcends the superficial ones......... 

PS. 

Apparently it is not talking when we interact using portals like WhatsApp. Thank you dear! You are the second person who shares my opinion.... Mmmmuah!

Vaishak & Sandhya

She suggests this beautiful song as I was searching for some inspiration.... Errr... Inspiration to remain rooted to where I was... :D

Have listened to this song umpteen number of times. But today... I went searching for the meaning of the opening lines...
Vaishakha sandhye nin chundilenthe
Aruma sakhithan adhara kaanthiyo

Had contacted at least 6 people for this & so far... this is the best answer I got... :D
vaishak n sandya r frinds with benefit...
vaishak : sandya what is there on ur chundu(lips)
vaishak : is aruma(dear), adhara(lips), kanthi(beauty) ur frinds????

:-D :-D :-D

This is the collage I could make out of all the responses {read... need not be the actual meaning}
Vaishakam is a month & falls during summer (April-May). It is the greatest & the most sacred of the months.
Being summer, I would like to assume that the evening sky has the brightest shade of orange & looks the most beautiful.
The guy is indirectly admiring his darling's lip by complimenting the evening sky.... Infact he is posing a question to the evening sky....
You seem to have swaddled yourself up in my beloved ones enchanting lips.

Thank God he did not chose a more direct path of compliment his beloved one. Otherwise everyone who contributed to this interpretation would have lost the chance to wake up from their afternoon slumber :-P

Dreams.....

His people take pride while saying...

"No one can have a dream with him in it. It is He who chooses whose dream he would feature in!"

Okkay... Fine... Agreed... In that case.... why are you recurring in mine????

I personally know a person who adores you. I am sure I would have dreamt more about you than him!

I mean... You would have featured more in my dreams than his O:-)

Build a Homeland

Bumped into a scrap of paper containing these lines.... :-)

Gals.... Hang in there!!

"They took away a door
to give you the wind
They opened a wound
to give you a morning
They razed your house,
so that you would build a homeland"

This should help you keep going for the rest of the week...

Share with Care

Kiddo : Amma... Buy Nexus
Me {hanging on to my eyeballs so that they do not pop out of its socket} : I do not want to spend so much money on a phone!
Kiddo {after a bit of thought}: You may take money from my account.
Me : :-)
Kiddo {after a short pause... a rather long short pause} : Hmmm... Just make sure there is enough money for my school things. You may take from the remaining.

Oh! Baby... >:D< :-*

Just do not forget this underlying rule even when you grow up... :-) :-*

Some Perks At last!!

"There is nothing there!"

Or so I was told every time the name of this place comes up & I vote for it. Finally, I gave up my hopes on going there at all! And then I take a resolve... I will go there... irrespective of the availability of a company.

MM... Thanks for that pep talk... It sure did work like a charm & I am grateful for this... Yes! I am in shashanka at your feet.

Evil One... Thanks for the wishes... Every single character, including the special characters, were put in motion! Mmmuah! xxxxx

Whats the first thing that comes to you?

There is a line in this song that goes...

My head's under water

But I'm breathing fine

What is the first thing that comes to your mind when you read this?

I know what I want

Kiddo {reading out from my tee in her sing-song voice}: I know what you want...
Me {curious & playful} : Now... What would that be?
Kiddo : A better life
Me {a bit disappointed, was expecting something more creative} : Hmmm... But isn't that what every one wants?
Kiddo {in her squeaky excited voice} : No... Not everyone... I like this life of mine. I do not want any other life...
Me {with a puzzled & sarcastic look} : Eh?
Kiddo {breaking into her naughty smile} : Of course... without the scolding... I want less of scolding... Otherwise, I like my life the way it is now

:-)
There is always room for improvement... ;-) May this Santhosha remain in you... :-) :-*

Banana Cake!!

Our own Banana Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting... 

The Verdict... It is good... but not sooo good!! 

Well... I loved it ;-) O:-) 

The Ocean

Vairagya was something I could not assimilate. I always leave these things to the Enlightened clan. Or it could be the image that I used to associate with this term - something that is immobile, unaffected, stable, sturdy... in short... a huge piece of stone!!

Maybe I am not meant to understand Vairagya at this point of life. Since its not my time to understand, I haven't yet bumped into the person who can explain it to me the way I would understand without losing its essence.

Today... I bump into this....

"For a short moment, some sad feelings, but never remains long. Within a few minutes or a few hours, and then it goes. So I usually describe something like the ocean. On the surface, waves come and go, but underneath always remain calm." 

When The Lama said this... I do not even know if this is Vairagya... but I like His Ocean better that the Stone. If The Lama himself is an Ocean... I, a simple, normal human being, is definitely allowed to Meeeeee!!!

Thihahahahahahahahaha...
