BodhiTree-Revisited

ok.lets get over with the confession part of it,first-while i like the music of BodhiTree-I am NOT a diehard fan.In fact,only by the very loosest definition would I be called a fan,if at all.Given a choice, I would more rather listen to The Eagles,Pink Floyd, The Doors, Tina Turner, R D Burman or even Guns [...]

jaage hain

~~jaage hain deir tak,humein kuch der soney do,
thodi si raat aur hai,subah to hone do.
aadhe adhoore khwaab, jo poore na ho sake,
ek baar fir se neend mein,wo khwaab bone do~~

mil kar chalein,chalo,sabhi tanhayiyon se duur,
palkon ki neeli jheel mein,aansoo dubone do.
bikhri huyi si hasratein,parwaan fir chadhe,
khushiyon se dil hai bhar chuka,ab gham sanjone do.

reh jaye [...]

one perfect something

You are around chasing things that disappear

wo ja rahi hai,meri heroine…

am watching aakhiri raasta right now…and just now was listening to the song. it comes from the days when the inimitable duo of laxmi-pyare used to create irrepressible melodies [sic] and the song has phrases like “naka naka go”   :P
but still, in one of the most obvious set pieces of hindi cinema, it still [...]

lyrics

Metallica: The Four Horsemen
By the last breath of the fourth winds blow
Better raise your ears
The sound of hooves knocks at your door
Lock up your wife and children now
Its time to wield the blade
For now you have got some company
The horsemen are drawing nearer
On the leather steeds they ride
They have come to take your life
On through [...]

gulabi ankhen

i remember once seeing the video sitting with papa long years ago,in chitrahaar on the old onida black and white we have at home.my only memory was trying to control my laughter as the actor,who i used to remember was jeetendra,jumping and “dancing” around trying to woo the actress.
i did like the song very much,and [...]

The clouds have paused, and the moon seems tired…

(warning: very long post ahead.read at your own leisure and risk)
So i cannot sleep at one in the night, and do not want to study. And slightly high on three stiff shots of Vodka, listening to soft music reminds me of an old idea I had of writing about the songs I love. And so [...]
