Jodha Akbar :- Jashn-e-Bahara
Beautiful is the word ! A.R.Rehman's magnum opus... truly!!
Its been a while since i've liked a bollywood song so much. I donno what it is about this song that gets me all dreamy. Is it the music or the scene or the magical duo playing Akbar n Jodha or is it the voice , I never know !?! I'll hear it a thousand and one times and i'll still not get enough of this one. Who is this Javed Ali ? Where the hell has he been all this while when we were being tortured by Reshmaiya and his likes showing off the skills of their Olfactory organs! May be Ali is not a famous singer, but this song would've been incomplete without the man. And its not just him, the Javed's are ruling the song. Just have look at the lyrics:
"Pass hain phir bhi paas nahi,Humko yeh gum raas nahi . Seeshe ki ek diware hai jaise darmiya..
Sare sehmein nazare hain,Soye soye vaqt ke dhare hain. Aur dil mein koi khoye si baatein hain..
Milke bhi hum milte nahi,Khilke bhi gul khilte nahi. Aankhon mein hai baharein dil mein khiza.."
Absoultly flawless lyrics by Javeed Akhtar. A marvellous piece of poetry that beautifully unfolds the love between the king and the queen. Speaking of King and Queen, who could you better imagine to perform the song than Hrithik and Aishwarya. Personally, I've never been a great fan of Aishwarya Rai. But this movie, this song is an exception. I'm in total awe for the lady. She's just too good yaar. Look at the scene where the Queen walks alongside the King , meddling the chain and taking a sneak look at her husband smiling to herself. And the King relishing every momemt of his walk with the lady love. And the lines go :
"Karte to hai saath safar,Faasle hain phir bhi magar. Jaise milte nahi kisi dariya ke do kinare.."
And the scene where both of them sit in the Quadrangle in the Queen's chamber feeding the pigeons... Could it be more beautiful ? :-) And again the lines are :
"Milke bhi hum milte nahi....Khilke bhi gul khilte nahi...."
I could just go on and on about the song and every frame of it, thats how much this song deserves or may be even more. An excellent art work by Ashutosh Gowarikar. Only he could've carried such a huge responsibility of trying out an epic movie and also succeed in making it click. Kudos to the guy !
Finally, the man himself. A.R.Rehman! What is he ? God ?! We are done praising him and applauding him for his compositions years ago , but the man never stops. ( We dont want him to anyway :-) !! ) Hats off to A.R.R. If year 2007 saw a beautiful "Ey hairathey" from guru , We've already found the winner for 2008. Its undoubtedly "Jashn - e- bahara" !!

Enough is enough !!!
She writes...
"Na-ah, No Jeans to college. No orange shirts. No Dance. No Music. No Boy-Girl talk! No Cell Phones. No Food,water or Air ! "
Seriously, how much is too much ? When people start saying "No" too many times isnt it right to scream the same word back to them ?! Get into the mind of a local engineering college student, all you hear is "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!" . You would be just lucky to make your way back to the sane world. Sometimes when in college it just feels like your thrown back into the days when making fire out of stones was worth a noble prize! So what if a college student wants to wear a jean to college ? OH no no , that must be crime ! Just try and break the issue to pieces. One, A student whos fed up all his life wearing uniforms to school wants to break free. Two, A pair of Jean is practically what a guy owns . Three, What is the big deal in trying to bridge a college student's likes of the dress he wants to wear to college and the so called "Moral values" !!! I dont really get the math ?!
So, We are young engineers. If wearing a pair of jean and T-Shirt to college is a sin why would you spot the MNC guys wearing the same? Aren't they Engineers ( Minus 'young'! ) . If this was the misery the guys had to face , let me not even get started about the fate of girls !
"Girl girl talk,boy boy talk, but NO boy girl talk." Famous words from a famous man. Are these people trying to train their lot about a totally different genre of relationships ? Excuse me for being too open there. But isnt that too ridiculous a statement ( Forget the english for gods sake !) ? Where is this culture heading ? If you refrain a guy from interacting with his girl classmate , its not gonna make him a saint. Since when have these so called college authorities started taking control over those vicious hormones ? Its funny you know, One hand they try teaching us stuff thats called "Technology" and on the other hand its all about "life on earth a 100 years back". And above all, they expect us to believe all this is doing good to us. Please, gimme a break !

Internetisation!
She writes :
This is not going to be an yet another write up blaring on about how Internet has taken over the world and how things have changed for ever ( which is true by the way! ) . Seriously, Not being able to check your mails for 2 straight days just leaves you isolated. Call it addiction to technology or whatever, you just can't deny the fact that Internet has made a mark in our daily lives.
When was the last time you looked into a book to find information about ancient pyramids of Egypt ! Or when was the last time you tried going to the theatre to book tickets for your weekend movie ! These activities are simply termed "abnormal". Who's to blame anyway ? You would certainly be opted out if you wanted to check out Saawariya in the theatres rather than downloading it from some site. WebCam and Internet phone are stale now , GenNext studies planets on the net. For all the duds out there wincing at the very mention of 'study', we've got the famous messengers to keep you hooked on to the system for hours ! In fact, half the population that uses Internet everyday thrives on these chat services. Come on, its gotta be interesting. Guy has a "cooldude4you" kinda Id and Girl has this "sweetangel" kinda Id, it just leaves him wondering if she was Katrina Kaif (!!)in disguise long after she's logged outta messenger!
As if this was not enough we've got the Social networking sites now. Go on, Make Internet your home. A year n half ago, i met this long lost buddy of mine in a library ( worth a mention rt! ) and after the intital 'how are you?' talk he pops out a question that sounded all alien to me : " You into orkut ? " . And now after two years, my mail checking routine has extended onto checking 'scraps' too. Its not like i hate doing so, Orkut has made me get in touch with a friend whom i had lost contact for almost 10 years! Come on, i gotta be grateful for that rt ?
Internetisation - Use it , Love it n Live it.
