This is the line and title of a famous song from Enrigue …..
SORRY …well this is a eraser which erases all u r mistakes or one can say try to put a cover on u r deeds(usually BAD) or blurs the very look of u r so called unsocial activities….. This is the most frequently and widely used English word. Irrespective of any language u speak thru out the world …..if u want to apologize to any one…U will use this Word “SORRY”…..I don’t know who invented it or how this word came in contact with the Human Beings…well that’s history..but they have started misusing it.
When we were kids if we did a mistake, we were quick on the apology act ..then Sorry was a involuntary stimulus response, Something inside us provoked us to utters those words, might be our un-maligned soul which was covered by loads of humanity at that AGE.But now we have traces of them left in us. Imagine of a scenario in present …How many times a day you utter those words..but u never mean when u say “Sorry”. U make an apologize to the Manager of not completing the work on time/coming to office at irregular timings..and many more reason which u face day to life.. But u never mean them as those things are repeated ever n ever ..and finally the Manager will feel Sorry that why he even Questioned u on any issue ..as his concerns never raised an alarm for u but what it brought from u was nothing more than “Sorry”… AAhhh..u collided with a beautiful gal (may be mistake/may be deliberate) and u say sorry..But u inside know that u r not ….in spite u loved it… and will hope for it’s happening again..We apologize to our friends for not calling him, not turning up for the get-together, late B’day wishes, and the list goes on…. There are very rare occasion when we really mean them…most of the time we want to get out of it by saying the Golden word “Sorry”.
I know many of u may not agree with me..but search u r self and find the truth , u will come to a conclusion ,then decide on this. U cannot ignore the fact that the word u utter the most in u r life time …mean nothing to u. Hello, Hi ,Thank u, Sorrythis are facets of what u speak.
If u want to say Sorry to anyone than say it to u r self ..and Mean that..b’coz u r the only one who is not doing justice to this word.. Okie let me put it this way… “Say Sorry to Sorry“ for misusing it for so many years..
Hey Guys I’m not authoritative on this…this is just what I felt about it …”Sorry if I have hurt someone's Emotion, thoughts or feelings”. :) . I mean it...well now u r thinking??
AAaah…..a big pain… 3 hrs of continuous hammer, non- stop crap, a nightmare. Akshay Kumar was the only respite in the Mv and that too he came very late …just before the interval.. The Movie seems to me an endless drama of nonsense horror ,un laughable comedy ,a poor picturization and an horrible screenplay. I really don’t know what has gone wrong with Priyadarshan, where his Midas touch in comedy gone which we saw in Hera Pheri.
9 in the nite and it was raining heavily in Bangalore with coldness in the wind …and the city was almost drowned ..ppl staying here will know and feel the pain when it rains here… We(Myself , my Flat partner--Jha and their relatives) struggled to get the auto ..but finally someone less idiot among the lot of idiots(Autowalas) agreed to take us to the Destination(Forom) where we were scheduled to watch the 10 pm show of “Bhool Bhulaiyaa” in PVR. Nothing was going right for us ..the autowala charged us thrice the Fair, had problems in getting the tickets (no no…the tickets was already booked thru Net)..the pain was in getting the tickets from those crap machine by swiping the cards… aah..they never work when I try to use them…so had to follow the queue to the PVR counter ,where the guys in all blue with stars embedded in their waist coat gave me the tickets… I was very ecstatic once I got hold of the tickets…I don’t know why..probably the main reason will be b’coz this time I’ll take my seats before the MV start, as last time…I guess Jhonny Gaddar it was, I missed the tailors which are shown before the main FILM and a little initial part of the mv also…I regretted on that …as tailors are the 50% of u r paisa wasool.
But to my dismay..the movie started 15-20 minutes late…and they didn’t aired any tailors also…..AAAh…a pain in the head ,heart ,pocket took birth….then also I reconciled ..hoping that the casting song of the Movie will be ….Hare Raam Hare Raam(Bhool bHulaiya according to the track)..but no….any kind of luck if there was , that nite had deserted me….I don’t understand these ppl..why do they Put nice song in the End….
I tried to concentrate in the movie trying to have a grasp of theSTORY….but no my efforts were all in vain…as it doesn’t had one..if anyone claims that the movie had a story then..it was my fault I guess…. Ok..chalo will go by the masses who says it had a story… Then I could only brief it as a Psyche thriller with horrible sense of humor…. One can say that Ramsay’s brother choice of horror movies was much better than this one..at least it had some nudity in it…But this so called horror movie in which all the gals…sorrryyyyy..Women were wearing Saris…uff…how could I even thought of watching this Movie…. Well that was b’coz of my love for Akshay…. He was the only person who did justice to his role …although a weak one…… Oh yes we were talking of the story...Shiney Ahuja was king who came back to India after his study in US..and yes he came along with his wife(Vidya Balan) and typical of Bollywood there was a gal (Amisha Patel)waiting in INdia all her life to get married to him...oh oh...same tragedy with Indian gals...There was a Mahal which was haunted only on the 3rd Floor...it was because of Shiney Ahuja's ancestor who performed some wrong deeds with a Nanchne wali(????)..and than her Soul(Aatama ) resided on that floor..As the MV progress i don't know how and why Shiney came to the conclusion that Amisha was mentally Sick...aah...but to our respite that marked the Entry of Akshay(Psychiatrist)..Then he went on to slove the mystery of the Bhoot Bangla...I Narate no more...as i lost track of the story mid way...Sorry...it was a "Bhulaiyaa"
CHARACTERS of the Movies..they were really “CHARACTERS”..same set of actors which feature in all Priyadarshan Movie….Paresh Rawal , Asrani and Rajapal Yadav were all wasted… and the Big thing was why why..??? Shiney Ahuja signed this Movie..he is too gud actor to do a role like this… The big and the most important role of the movie went to Vidya Balan…..hmmmm…I cant explain her role ..u guys have to go and c her in the MV…She was stale and expressionless ….doing the role of split personality…oh yes I missed on Amisha Patel(the star of KNPH) struggling to stay alive in Bollywood….by perfoming cameo/absurd roles,nad this MV was no exception..
After a long wait the Climax of the movie came…I was delighted…no no.. not on the climax It was illogical and indigestible…but on the sole fact that the movie was gone end.. And finally after a long climax ….it ended..and the much awaited song which is the new rage of the discs…some classify it as the new anthem started…… I was left with no energy to enjoy the song …so I left the theatre, marching myself out to face a new battle with the autowals , for my way back to flat..with slow humming track of “Hare Raam hare Raam…hare Krishna hare raam” sounding in the Background..and this song accompanied me back all the way to my flat ..until I settled into my bed under my warm Blanket….thinking ,watching the movie was a Real “Bhool”…
Few days back I was having a chat with Hemant ( friend) …the topic of discussion was why we r not focused in life ,what we need from life, why we can’t concentrate on a thing/work, why our mind keeps on travelling in vivid direction and always we have multi dimension things going thru our mind, may be Gals ,Work, Parents ,Friends, Finance, Cricket……and many more things. Then finally we came to the conclusion.. Do we need a Mentor or do we need to see a Psychiatrist . Aaah I guess both of us were going thru the same pain in life….well let’s not restrict this post to only two of us.. I think majority of people also have the same problem…those who don’t , are next to GOD …. The bottom line is Psychiatrist will take our money and would say to us only those things which are pleasing to our ears..and Mentor well they are semi god… to find a good , genuine, sensible mentor is also a TASK in itself just like finding GOD or a gem which u can treasure for the remaining part of u r life.
What is Mentor ???? Let's go back into History..... “In the eighth century BC, the Greek writer Homer wrote an epic poem describing Odysseus's adventures during his 10-year voyage home after the Trojan War. While he was gone, he entrusted the care and education of his beloved son, Telemachus, to his faithful friend Mentor. Almost three thousand years later that man's name has come to mean a wise and trusted counselor.”
Now........ Mentor is a favorite teacher, parent, a wise and witty master, an insightful frnd, an experienced, seasoned Guide/Fellow colleague/ religious GURU. He could be anyone ranging from u r family , friends, colleagues, relatives. We need a mentor in life basically to achieve success, to foresee the righteous path in life ,following which we could attain happiness, wealth, glory, respect and above all the materialistic things which we desire so much in life.
The fact is that everyone needs a Mentor , I’m no exception in that I also need one. When I joined the new company(IT) I had a mentor, when I was young then Parents where my Mentor…..But now what I have…*confused mind…trying to achieve everything(that everything still is not defined for me) in life and sometimes end up getting nothing. Then I decided why can’t I be a Mentor to myself until I found one.
Then the big question comes... How can one be a Mentor to one self….?????? Anyone can go about in finding the answer to this.. by keeping himself/herself thru a period of observation(Psychiatrist Dialogue ..LOL). The answer to this question also lies in u … There is a famous saying related to this I have read somewhere it goes like this “The paradox of you is you at your very best”. I’m also looking for the answer to this question.. I have got a vague picture of this….but once it’s clear will do a post on this. As if for now few truths(fundas as one may call)which will help u in finding a mentor within u r self… First and foremost count on all your weakness as u r Strong points. Never ever at any phase in u r life question u r decision ..if u start doing that then u will end up under the rubbles and u r life will become HELL. Control u r Emotions be in tune with u r emotions ,understand u r Feelings try to grab what they are telling. These things basically act as a Barometer to u r Heart ,u r Mind, u r Soul. Knowledge it’s the key…try to grasp and learn everything that life teaches u. U r experiences, u r day to day life occurrences are u r best Teachers..Never ignore them try to get everything positive/negative from it… Bollywood says “Life is u r best teacher”.
Well I was thing that there are so many consultant firm for jobs, for investments , for finance, for marriage, for loans…why don’t we have anything like Find Mentor firm . Every day we get a call from some credit card company or any job portal or investment firm that do we need a card, do we need a job, do we need an investment plan..why don’t we have a Mentor firm(where we will get gud mentors..and one can hire mentor from that firm) from where people will call us and ask whether we need a Mentor or not.
* “Confused state of mind - can be said as the nature of creation flowing thru us..never stagnant, always changing, one building to some new creation”
A master piece …I don’t know whether I will do justice in reviewing the music of NO Smoking as all big shot (Reviewers and Critics)of the Bollywood industry already had a go on this. But no offence to any of them as this Blog is completely on what I feel..
I feel awesome ,I feel that it has taken my heart out ,I go bizarre, every time I listen to the songs… in fact it has increased my number of CIG, but that in no case has deterred me in listening to the songs. A must album for all the smokers community. Well I’m not skeptical on this..A treat for all musical lovers.
No Smoking – Directed by Anurag Kashyap(Black Friday fame) from the house of Kumar Mangat and Vishal Bhardwaj(Omkara Fame),starring John Abraham and Ayesha Takia is the much awaited movie from my side, of the year ‘07. Music..aaah by Vishal Bhardwaj and lyrics by Gulzar(they don’t need any introduction I guess).
Well first start with director …Anurag Kashyap--He is the man who believes in himself and let the work speaks for itself..He knows that making cinema is now commercialized and he excepts the fact that only SEX and SRK sells in this industry that’s why he approached SRK with the script but typical of any man on the pedestal of his career refused to take the RISK and said no..Well SRK will never go out of the Raj’s and Johar’s Lobby. Well for him I can only say..SRK u missed out on this…this movie would have given new dimension to u r acting fame. This story (making of NO Smoking)what I have posted is only a brief part of the struggle Mr. Kashyap had to face .For an elaborate detail of his pain taking.. look in to this url (http://www.passionforcinema.com/no-smoking-8-years-in-the-making/ ). So after slipping thru all grades of despondency(mind u 8 years) he found John and then Vishal. A whole heartedly thanks to these people.
Imagine of the man ,imagine of his guts, imagine of his creativity ,imagine of his love for cinema, imagine of his truthfulness and honesty that he dared to make a movie on the subject of Smoking and then went on to have a soundtrack completely on smoking.
Let’s dig the gold(Songs)
“Jab bhi Cigarette” cool ,amazing, excellent lyrics and music are like dew drops on it…Enhancing the beauty of the song….Believe me or not this song will rule all the discotheques . The opening of the song is amazing ,typically reflects the lungs of a smoker.
"Hey I wana tell u about this thing,There's a stick called Cigarette,Phir talabh talabh hai talabh talbah,Besabh besabh phir talabh hai talbah,Shaam hone lagi hai,-2Laal hone lagi hai,-2"
Jab bhi Cigarette jalti hai main jalta hun...
Gulzar has done an amazing job with the lyrics and Adnan Sami has sung it so well(the jazz version)…I hope Anu mallik would be getting what Adnan his throwing.. LOL. Adnan is a terrific singer no doubt in that..he has his own class and standards and he abides by them, even increase those standards from time to time. Get High and feel the mood of the song..Look at this piece of lyrics a class act ,true work of magic with words..
Lambe dhaage dhuen ke Saans silne lage hain Pyaas udhti hui lagi Honth chhilne lage hain
Shaam hone lagi haiLaal hone lagi hai.
Now when Sunidhi Chauhan get’s his turn ..the jazz is turned to the trance..but she has done full justice to the song..a typical foot tapping trance number..the meaning ,the feel ,the lyrics all remain the same . Class Act by Vishal, he has raised the bar of music for Bollywood..Now all the HRs and Anus will no that their slow,sweet humming sounds will be hard to sell now . Video -- Supermodel Jesse Randhawa does full justice to the song by lip-syncing into booming male baritones of Adnan Sami.
“Phoonk De”—All ready climbing the charts. Reviewed by masses as the best song of the album.
Hayaat phoonk de Hawaas phoonk de Saans se sila hua libaas phoonk de Jab nasa toota haiiiiii...kitne tukde gire hain.. Hosh chunne lage humh Humbhi kya sir phire hain Lab be jal rahi hai woh baat phoonk de
Both Rekha Bharadwaj(“Namak ishq ka” fame) and Sukhwinder("Chaiya chaiya" fame) has sung the song majestically in their own style. Rekha has given the feminine nasal touch to the song which makes it a commercial success. Sukhwinder hand on the other version of the song is pacy and he tries to give it classy touch typical of him. The lyrics in both the version are different but reflect the same state of a smoker.
Ghoonth ghoonth jal raha hun ,Pi raha hun patiyaan,Aankhn hain dhuan dhuan,naam hai sari batiyaan…Aas paas kuch nai..ji udas hai jara ..
This a commercial song that’s why Anurag has Bipasa doing the ITEM number. Attract Crowd.Treat for the front benchers .
"Kash Laga"--After this two classic version of the song comes one with a sufi touch. Haven’t heard much of this. But three maestro comes together in the song-Sukhwinder, Daler and Vishal. The lyrics by Gulzar is mesmerisng in this …especially these lines…
” Jalti hain tanhayeeinya,taapi hai raat raat jag jag ke,urti hain zingariyaan,gucche hain laal lall gili aag ke”
Then comes the Base lyrics which are repeated a lot in the song
Ye jahaan faani hai,Bulbula hai paani hai,Bulbulon mein rukna kyaPaaniyon pe behta jaa
Listen to this song it will give u a soothing feeling ,u will forget all u r pain for that moment. Tremendous work by Vishal in creating such a music.
“Ash Tray”---This is my favorite.. of all the songs. Hard to find why I like this the most but it has something in it although all other songs are much better than this ,both music n lyrics wise but still this song has something in it which force me to listen it repeatedly . The new comer Deva Sen Gupta has done full justice to the song, sometimes his voice echo in my ears just like Jaggit Sings voice..especially when he enchant those words..Dhuan Dhuan..they haunt me….
The starting of the song is very strong , meaningful ,soulful and haunting
“Bhaut se aadhe bhuje hue din padhe hain ishmeBhaut se aadhi jali raatein gir padi hain ishmeAsh tray bharti ja rahi hai”
Na haath daaloKi waqt se chheele hue lamhon ki raakh Garam haiWaqt se chheleey hue lamhon ki raat narm hai
And the song finishes on the sad note as the “Ash tray bhar Chuki hain”
One can say after a long time u have soulful, meaningful kind of a soundtrack to listen to don’t miss this opportunity beg. steal, buy, download,copy from u r friends and relish it. Great work done by the trio’s in creating such a soundtrack for an offbeat subject like Smoking. After a long time we have a album in which there is no song for love,song for “toota dil” and blah blah for which Bollywood is famous. I hope and wish Anurag that his most unconventional venture “No Smoking ” is commercially a hit ,which will encourage and force them(Commercial directors & producers) to make movies like this.
Will end the post here as the “Post bharti ja rahi hai.”
Feel..Feel…Feeling…and again Feelings which fill the most part of u r life ,mind, the body, the Soul. Every Year Everyday Every Hour Every Minutes Every Second u feel differently …these feelings are overwritten by a set of other feelings and this process continues for Ever. Feelings ?? wat is this? Dictionary meaning goes as this ----Emotional or moral sensitivity (especially in relation to personal principles or dignity).U watch a movie u feel something, u saw a hot gal passing by u instantly has a feeling generated within u ,feeling of frustration, feeling of envy and a feeling that the Guy with him is her brother…ho ho…and lots of other felling…Feeling when the manager comes to u r desk..feeling of being lost in the vast world of IT industry and many more of those which are specific to respective person. Feeling cannot be generalized. It’s an output generated by the BRAIN taking inputs from different part of u r bodies.
Feelings u have for someone/something any kind negative/positive/neutral. Feeling has no domain or range .Anything to Everything happening in life generates a feeling.. Some feelings surpasses without getting any kind of notice from u and Some stays there to haunt u or to tingle u with pleasure…
Don’t put Feeling n Thought on the same plate as Thoughts are generated from Feeling. Both a part of a certain hierarchy which are certainly defined by us.
Writing about your feelings improves immune system.
"Pen and paper may be a powerful medical treatment. In a new study by Harvard University cancer patients who wrote about their feelings for 30 minutes a day experienced improvements in immune-system function and reported fewer symptoms. Journaling quells stress and helps increase coping mechanisms, say the researchers. "
FEELINGS is what keep everyone together. Why then in today's world do we deny our feelings. Is it because it is considered 'ultra-cool' to hide them? I see people around me with deadpan faces carrying their laptops, emotionless going about their daily chores either frustrated by the work or Bangalore traffic...So guys love u r feelings…Never try to hide them ,don’t be a traitor to them and write it down ,if not for others than for u r self at least.. That will ease u r pain of surviving in this world.
