ijazzat..some songs i love


 Posted by Hello


Ijazzat..this movie starring rekha ,Naseeruddin Shah , Anuradha Patel was artsy to say the least ..a love story for the thinking ,sans the glitz, glamour and the cheesily choregraphed songs but with a lot of depth and chutzpah ....I was only 10 when I first heard the songs,much too young to understand the haunting melodies and the rivetting lyrics ...I know I appreciate the songs better today ..


And ofcourse did I mention what a lethal combination Asha Bhonsley's voice ,R.D Burman's music and Gulzar'slyrics make .......here the lyrics to the 2 songs i like most

Katra katra... (picture Rekha in her inimitable style lipsynching to this song ..)

katra katra milti hai
katra katra jeene do
zindgi hai, bahne do
pyaasi hoon main pyasi rahne do

Tumne to aakash bichhaya
mere nange pairo main zameen hai
dekhe to tumhaari aarzoo hai
shayad aisi zindagi haseen hai
aarzoo main bahne do
pyaasi hoon main pyaasi rahne do

Mera kuch samaan (the lovely anuradha patel leaves a note at naseer's place and this is what she has to say )

Mera kuch saamaan tumhare paas pada hai -2
o o o ! saavan ke kuch bheege bheege din rakhe hain
aur mere ik khat main lipti raat padi hai
vo raat bhulaa do, mera vo saamaan lauta do - 2
mera kuch saamaan tumhaare paas pada hai - 2

patjhad hai kcuh ... hai na ?
o ! patjhas main kuch patton ke girne kee aahat
kaanon main ek baar pahan ke laut aai thee
patajhad kee vo saakh abhi tak kaanp rahi hai
vo saakh gira do, mera vo saamaan lauta do - 2

ek akeli chhataree main jab aadhe aadhe bheeg rahe the - 2
aadhe sookhe aadhe geele, sukha to main le aaye thee
geela man shayad bistar ke paas pada ho
vo bhijwa do, mera vo saamaan lauta do

ek so sola chaand ki ratain ek tumhare kaandhe ka til - 2
geeli mahendi ki khushbu, jhoot mooth ke shikwe kuch
jhooth mooth ke wade sab yaad karaa do
sab bhijwa do, mera vo saamaan lauta do - 2

ek ijaazat de do bas, jab isako dafanaaungee
main bhi vaheen so jaungee
main bhi vaheen so jaungee

hmm...now I'm humming these tunes and feel transported back in time..feels good:)

Todays thought

"Vision without action is a daydream
Action without vision is a nightmare "

Attitude

the following thoughts stayed with me after our weekly sales meeting today :)

What is attitude??
"An inward feeling expressed by an outward behavior"

What are the truths about attitude?

1) Our attitude determines our approach to life

2) Our attitude determines our relationship to people

3) Often our attitude is the only difference between success and failure

I leave it at that ...I have a great attitude:)

how deep is your love ?


 Posted by Hello


"Passion is the quickest to develop and thw quickest to fade .Intimacy develops more gradually and commitment more gradually still. "

Was opening up some of the boxes ,still stashed away and unopened from all the moving in february ...and came across this book of poems ,thoughts(random as always) which I wrote and presented to Pankaj on our engagement day and valentines day ....(what a coincidence:P)

Reading all that I had written , brought a smile to my face .. still feel the same for him , probably more ,now that our lives are inextricably linked to each other ..we have gone through bad times which bonded us and good times which brought us joy ...we have tonnes of memories with each other now and I sometimes wonder how we wud continue without each other ..it just doesnt seem possible.

No melodrama there !!! just the truth :) ..I feel I wouldnt be able to .

But then let me focus on the good thoughts ....how often is it that one finds a friend ,soulmate ,a lover and a lifepartner all rolled into one :) ,someone who lets you be and loves you for who you are ..well, I'd say not often ..infact ,once in a lifetime.

Getting mushy but what else can I be......Its so easy to fall in love and dream of a happy ending ..mostly meaning marriage and a life together ..but what happens when one gets that ?I'd imagine, hone the relationship and help that love stay ,what with the daily routine ,stress and squabbles ....do I still have that after 3 yrs ..yes I know I do because I dont think we take it for granted for a day in our lives..we work on it ..is it perfect ..hmm ..no but pretty darn close.

So I come back to the "book" ..made the following upgrades ,after 3 yrs :)

"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times ,always with the same person"

"when you make a commitment to a relationship , you invest your attention and energy in it more profoundly because now you experience ownership of that relationship"

"Commitment is healthiest when its not without doubt but inspite of doubt but inspite of doubt "

"If you deny yourself commitment ,what can do u do with your life?"


- Just another day in the life of this "lovelorn" woman.Amen to more of that
