Amazing song - Amazing lyrics... I loved the movie as well..

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

"O re piya" this time...

Haah..my 6 minutes of fame this time was courtesy "O re Piya" and it was appreciated a lot as well. There were no hot and spicy events this time but the most memorable moment was when this instructor of mine, who met me after more than a year came straight to me and says "Hey Chaya..How are u doing? ".. I was amazed. Fancy remembering each and every of your students name when in effect you have more than 500 of them every month.(I could just be exaggerating the figures..) On top of it, consider the time elapsed.

Anyway..I could go on writing tonnes of words praising this guy but that would change the scope of this altogether. Back to the point. We did an Indo Jazz style that turned out pretty neat. The best part of the entire show was the dance in "sign language" dedicated to the VAF kids. That was awesome.

I advance to another level now. Lets hope this one turns out to be as interesting. (Fingers Crossed.). Shall keep updating.. :-)

It indeed is happening....

Saw this movie over the weekend - "The happening", and I have no words to describe how amazingly directed and scripted it is. (I wonder why then am I blogging!!!!)
For now, I don't think I would like to spoil interests of others by revealing the plot, but the impressive things about the movie can be listed (since I am so fond of lists.. ;-) ).
Listing those -
- Mind blowing depiction of the intensely gruesome scenes. ( I literally covered my eyes more than 7 times while watching the movie.)
- Element of humor brought in in the most cute manner via the mushy-mushy talks.
- Brilliant acting by everyone
- The small little details that need to be followed to understand the movie in totality.
- The hair style of the lead female actor (he he..its pretty similar to mine, thats why included this as well.. )

Well, those of you who like sci-fi wouldn't mind spending a couple of hundreds on this one. I sure enjoyed each and every minute of those 90 minutes..

PS. I did hear from a friend that it seemed to be stretched towards the end..but my argument would be.. "Its a 90 minute long movie, how much shorter do you expect it to be??? "

Making waves over the AIR..

Just didn't feel like doing what I was supposed to be doing... oops..that sounds weird. Anyways, here's a masterpiece of mine...after a long time..thanks for the patience.. :-)

Ever noticed, how integral a part of our lives has the radio become? The RJs chattering in between the numerous songs, used to irritate me slightly and especially all the funnily weird jokes (not that mine are better...but still..) that are cracked. But then there were the songs that pumped up the adrenaline, to wake me up while going to office or sing me a lullaby on the way back. I used to think - thats all that the radio has to it. But this feeling of mine changed recently.

I was made aware of the fact that how sound transmitted via the air waves can save lives. How a simple appeal can change the way people feel. I was amazed to see that there is so much humanity all around. I never knew the people around me cared so much for someone they did not even see or for that matter, did not even know.

An abridged version of the story - "A family came to India from a neighboring country. Someone fell ill and was to be admitted to a hospital. There was blood required urgently. A simple appeal made on the radio. A friend of mine, called up. The date and time were fixed. On the day the blood was required, turned out that the donation was not required. Someone else has already donated".

There was a race and it was not a race to win. It was a race of humanity.. (no pun intended). People turned up from all walks of life to help the family. And the best part, many of those were related to me in some way or the other. Feels amazingly good.

This entire piece was not to spell India - Pakistan unity or anything. Its supposed to mean much more than that. Its more about the unity among people than the name that binds them. I feel proud right now.


Proud of u Alok...and all those who helped... :-)

And of course there are many more instances that can be attributed to the way the radio can change lives, but this one sure changed my way of thinking.. :-)

Life - A Palindrome...

My routine these days...

Morning - office
Night - home
Next morning - office
Next night - home
Another random day - office
Another random night - home
Morning - office
....

and the story continues.. The Palindrome of life... read it anyways and the order remains the same.. (and please don't get into contradictions).. ;-)

I must be sounding so desperate..but naah..I'm loving every bit of it.. :-)

Credits :- Gautam. Thanks for the realization..

Mauja Mauja...

awesome..
amazing..
brilliant..

loved the day... enormous amounts of fun mixed with a dash of cold and lots of glitter.. After all, sajna hai mujhe...divesh ke liye.. ( right Jackie?? ) umm.. nothing scandalous abt that line intended..and also don't get wrong ideas.. :P

anyways...wanted to pen down a few of the days highlights.. ( though I've mentioned the most important one.. ;-) )
- my dad whistled while being amongst the audience.. (proud o' him )
- my scarves came out on time..and I didn't fall in in spite of wearing the amazingly flared flares.. (btw, we beat SRK's look in the first half of OSO )
- my dress did not tear though it took me a good 10 mins to take it off... (damn the tailor...)
- backstage songs = "aankh maare o ladka aankh maare" and "hawa hawa..e hawa.."
- mooli ke parathen.. (how could I forget..or importantly..how could Sikander forget.. ;-) )
- and my cell phone becoming the adda of new phone numbers.. and hopefully something materializing as well..

In short, the entire day was full of Mauja Mauja...

PS. Ashish said it was good.. (mission accomplished..)
