The Way You Look Tonight

Dosent it happen with you guys too, that you are just sitting doing something or maybe doing nothing at all, and suddenly you remember a song you heard long time ago. And there it is, just pops up in your head. Well. I was doing nothing today at work and out of no where, the below song was what I remembered.
=========
Some day, when I’m awfully low,
When the world is cold,
I will feel a glow just thinking of you…
And the way you look tonight.

Yes you’re lovely, with your smile so warm
And your cheeks so soft,
There is nothing for me but to love you,
And the way you look tonight.

With each word your tenderness grows,
Tearing my fear apart…
And that laugh that wrinkles your nose,
It touches my foolish heart.

Lovely … Never, ever change.
Keep that breathless charm.
Won’t you please arrange it?
‘Cause I love you … Just the way you look tonight.

Mm, Mm, Mm, Mm,
Just the way you look to-night.

=========
--by Tony Bennett.

Also FYI, this song featured in the movie " My best friends wedding " . It was here when i heard it first. Julia Roberts and Dermot Mulroney ,having their last dance on the boat. This was "their" song. The scene was heart touchin and the song lovely.

Dont worry, be happy

Raj sat in the cab ready to go home. He had a busy day at work. He was really tired. He had his worries. But at that moment, with the radio playing some of his favourite songs, all he was thinking was of sleep.

"Sir, take this", said the driver handing him a box of sweets. Surprised, he looked up taking one sweet out of the box. "Thank you", whats this for?", he enquired.
"I got a baby boy", replied the driver."Oh cool, congrats yaar. I am so happy for you" , Raj replied." Thank you sir", he said starting the car.
"What about Arun? I guess even he was expecting a baby. Ooops, I mean his wife was expecting a baby!! ," Raj enquired tounge in cheek, smiling.
"Yes sir, Even Arun had a baby boy last week". "Cool", Raj replied smiling, wondering how proud these guys must be feeling of becoming a dad. And then his thoughts started drifting to a situation where even he would one day be holding his own baby in his hands. But before he could run away with them, his thoughts were intercepted.
"Sir, Arun has gone to his hometown. His baby had some problem.", the driver replied.
"Problem!!...what problem? " Raj replied.
"Not very sure. But the baby cant swallow anything. I mean when they feed her milk or anything, it just comes out from the nose and mouth and everywhere. I guess the baby has a hole in the upper jaw. The doctors said that since the baby is so small, it would not be possible for them to operate her to fix the problem right away. They have asked to wait for 6 months to see and hope the jaw gets filled by itself, naturally. Else, after 6 months the baby would have to undergo an operation." Raj listened to all this with complete calm.
"So how are they feeding the baby? What are they feeding the baby"?, he enquired.
"Dunno sir, prob its on saline. Not very sure" was the reply. "Hmmm. Sad", was the only thing Raj would say. Raj was lost in his thoughts when he realised that he had reached his house. "Thanks", he said getting out of the cab.

Same day, Raj spoke to his cousin studying medicine. He came to know that the condition the baby had was called CLEFT PALATE!! A congenital deformity caused by abnormal facial development. Such conditions occur somewhere between 1 in 800 births!! The good thing is that it can be successfully treated with surgery.

A few days late, Arun came to pick him up. Raj wanted to enquire about his son and tell him how sad he felt for him. But before he could say anything, Arun spoke, "Raj sir, did you see yesterdays match", he started. He went on talking about it with the normal excitement he shows every other day.
Later...
"You know sir, the petrol rates are going to change soon. There was this huge line at the petrol pump. I was in the line from 10. My turn came at 1." , he said smiling.

Raj thought to himself. This guy seems happy but inside he must be feeling very sad. He wondered what must be going on with Arun and his family. He had known him since 15 months and had never seen him without a smile on his face. He seemed the most cheerful person around. No one would guess that he had problems going on. Speaking of problems. Everyone of us has problems, dont we, but then some of us just cant stop cribbing about them and then let others get affected by them. While there are others, like Arun, who just dont let them come and interfere in their professional life. Wish it was possible for everyone to be like him.

Raj wondered why God sometimes just cant see people happy. Why does he have to put in troubles in the life of a person who chooses to be happy under any situation, come what may. Raj felt his troubles were nothing in comparison to what Arun must be going through. He kept mum till he was dropped off to office. He didnt want to change Arun's attitude.
"Maybe six months later would be a right time to enquire about the baby. ", he thought.
He promised to himself to pray for the little baby.
========================
Hope you guys reading this will pray for the baby too.

Cheers.

dark...till the very end...

He was trapped. He didnt know where. He didnt know why. He tried to remember where he was.

What he was doing. But he couldnt, even after trying so hard. But he had to. He had to try. He closed his eyes. Didnt make a difference as it was already pitch dark. Then he remembered. He remembered her. He felt the room getting filled with brightness as soon as he remembered her. He felt free. He felt happy. He saw her image standing there right in front of him. He saw her face. He noticed a smile on her face. He felt a breeze creep in from nowhere and blow her hair. She was looking so pretty. Her smile was as lovely as ever. He stretched his hand towards her, but she was not within reach. He felt tied up. He tried to break free. But he couldnt. He asked her to come close to him. But she did not. Maybe she couldnt. Maybe she tried but couldnt. Maybe she didnt try and hence couldnt. He didnt know what was going on in her head. He tried very hard, used up all his strength to reach her, but he couldnt. He didnt want to give up. He called out her name. Please, please come. Help me. But she couldnt. He tried to see the expression on her face but he couldnt. Was she still smiling? Why was she still smiling? Did she not hear his voice? Did she not hear his calls? He didnt get any answers. The more he tried to go towards her, the more she kept moving away from him. And before he could realise her image suddenly vanished, leaving him in darkness yet again. There was silence. Absolute silence. He could hear nothing. No, he could hear something. It was his heart. It beating very fast. He could hear his breath. He was quiet. Moment passed. Suddenly, he felt a pain. He felt something piercing his heart. He felt as if someone had put a dagger straight into him. The pain was terrible. He felt the blood ooze out. He felt his tears roll out as if trying to compete which one would drain out faster. He opened his eyes. There was still darkness around. He couldnt feel anything. He felt his body becoming empty. He felt the emptiness inside. He felt the hollow inside. He felt he was getting cold. Very cold. But yet he was thinking about her. He felt weak. Suddenly, memories which he felt had been wiped out, came back. He felt scared. They were haunting him. He shouted. He screamed. He screamed so loud that he felt one of his vein burst. But no one heard him. No one could hear him. He was alone. He was tired. He felt the sweat on his face. He felt his body getting wet, making him feel more cold. He felt his hands get numb. He felt he couldnt move his legs. He felt his brain going hazy. His heartbeat was slowing down. Her vision again appeared in front of his eyes. He felt happy and he felt sad both at the same time. It was a strange feeling. Slowly, steadily, the heartbeat dropped. His eyes were closing. He didnt want to close. He wanted her vision to be there till the very end. He didnt want to loose it. He didnt want to loose her. But the eye lids seemed to be very heavy. He tried his best to keep them open. His brain was now numb. He gave out one last gasp of air.
His hearbeat stopped.
His body was still.
But his eyes were open.
He kept them open.
He kept them open till the very end...till the very end.

Bundeya hoo ---KHUDA KAY LIYE

Hi Guys,
The other day I was travelling back home in my cab and the radio played a song. The moment the song started playing, I felt so connected to it. I mean, there are some songs, the moment you hear it, you feel this strange feeling inside. A feeling indescribale. A divine connection. The last time I felt it was when i heard Khwaja mere Khwaja from Jodha Akbar. And then this song from KHUDA KAY LIYE. Dunno which language it is in. I guess Punjabi or Pashto maybe.
Anyways., it dosent matter. ( I really wanna see the movie now!! Have heard really good reviews about it.)

Lyrics

====
Bullay Noun Samjhawan Ayaan
Bheynaan Tay Bherjaiyaan
Man Lay Bulleya Sada Kena
Chad Day Pala Rayaan

Aal Nabi Ullad Ali Noun

"Jeyra Saanoun Syed Saday
Dozukh Milan Sazaiyaan"

Bundeya hoo Bundeya Bundeya hoo..oo…ooo Bundeya hoo Bundeya Bundeya hoo..oo…ooo

Raain, Saain, Sabhan Thaain
Rab Deyaan Bay Parwaaiyaan
Sohniyaan Paray Hatayaan Tay
Khoojiyaan Lay Gall Laiyaan

Jay To Loorain Baagh Baharaan
Chaakar Hoo Ja Raiyaan
Bulley Shah Dee Zaat Kee Puchni
Shakar Ho Razayaan

Bundeya hoo BundeyaBundeya hoo..oo…ooo Bundeya hoo BundeyaBundeya hoo..oo…ooo

some crap - Part 2

Its been a month and no new update in the blog!! I wonder whats happened. Its not that I dont have anything to say. I have so much to say, so much to tell. Prob so much that the blogspace maynot be enuf. Aaah whatever. Prob so much that its hard to put everything down in words.Or maybe i have hit the writers block. Or maybe i havent.Somethings wrong thats for sure. Somethings different. Its a wierd
situation. A strange feeling. Nothing seems the same. I sometimes feel
I am fighting with myself. Fighting about what I want and what I need.
About what I get and what I deserve. What I wish for and what I
avoid. Its all so very confusing. Nothing seems the same.Its prob the worst phase of my life. Or am i making it one. They say you can shape up your life....hmmm.,...can you?No idea.They say life is all about choices. But what happens if the only choice
you have is to make choices between your choices. uhh..whatever that
meant!!Whack ...I hit myself. Wake up buddy. Whats the matter.Life was all fun before, why all 'ghum' now. There is so much to do.So
much left. So many dreams. But yet it dosent work. No matter how
hard I try. No matter what I do. What I need is what I dont get. I read what I have written above. Sheesh!! .What the heck.Cant write anymore of this bullshit anymore. Anything more would be ......uhh not finding a word...god damnit....my
vocabulary fails me....
Anyways....Bye 4 now.

The song making waves all over the music channels nowadays, not only for the music and the lyircs but also the video which has highlighted some social issues.
Do check it out. Lovely song.
===============================

raaste dekhe manzil na payi
saathi mile to par woh kali naa aayi

khwaabo k rishte he khwaabo me yaar

That Somebody's Me

Yet another Enrique number. My current fav. Mann this guy is too good. A song which is somewhat special. You can close your eyes and feel that pain in the words. And without doubt, the lyircs are just too good.
A song for that somebody. A message for that somebody --> That somebody's me.
Have fun people.
=========================================


You, do you remember me? Like I remember you?
Do you spend your life Going back in your mind to that time?
Because I, I walk the streets alone ....I hate being on my own
And everyone can see that I really fell
And I'm going through hell
Thinking about you with somebody else

[CHORUS]
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Somebody dreams about you every single night
Somebody can't breathe without you, it's lonely
Somebody hopes someday you will see
That Somebody's Me


How, How could we go wrong
It was so good and now it's gone
And I pray at night that our paths will soon cross
And what we had isn't lost
Cause you're always right here in my thoughts

[Chorus]
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Somebody dreams about you every single night
Somebody can't breath without you, it's lonely
Somebody hopes someday you will see
That Somebody's Me

You'll always be in my life Even if I'm not in your life
Because you're in my memory
You, will you remember me
And before you set me free
Oh listen please

[Chorus]
Somebody wants you
Somebody needs you
Somebody dreams about you every single night
Somebody can't breath without you, it's lonely
Somebody hopes someday you will see
That Somebody's Me ...
That Somebody's Me...
