life - 2

"..Life is a series of IFS and BUTS ,its the fact that we keep wondering 'what if' that keeps us glued to our past and the 'buts' that mess up our future.."

Life...

Life- a series of ups and downs..a sequence of bad days..and endless turmoil but against all hope we keep trying and praying for a better day..and a better life..!We keep hoping for a better ending or even better ...a Happy beginning!:)

V-DAY!

14th Feb is famous or rather infamous for a quite a few number of reasons. Everyone has their own opinion regarding the significance of the day, some are against it and while others are all into celebrating it, I personally am pretty neutral about the entire thing.

Apparently even a school kid knows what 14th Feb is all about! Believe me I literally found out..this Vday! :D

My 10yr old sweet cousin bro who I fondly refer to as my BF, came over to my place this Sunday, greets me , tells me he'll brb and rushes out of the house. He comes back 10 mins later and hands me a cornetto ice cream, I ask him," whats this for!?". He smiles shyly and questions me " Did you forget what day it is today!?","Its VALENTINES DAY!!". It was the most adorable gesture! I couldn't help but smile and wonder how guys know how to charm girls even at such a young age!! :)

Anyhow that was definitely the highlight of my day and was one helluva sweet unexpected surprise! :)

Cham cham song - Striker

I downloaded the album of the movie "Striker" but never really got around to listening to any of the tracks, after few recommendations I finally heard the song called "cham cham", its such a beautiful song !!

This has to be one of the best songs by Sonu Nigam in recent times, he has yet again proved his amazing singing talent with this track, the lyrics are a little inclined towards the Urdu language which is apt according to the sufi music of the song. The singer simply gives life to the words and conveys them beautifully!

I have never really been a big fan of Sonu Nigam , agreed he has a lot of amazing tracks to his credit but its hard to get rid of his SAREGAMAPA image of him being clad in those traditional Indian "grl like" outfits with a dupatta ! sheesh!! talk about messing up a guys image! Ahh..and there was a time when he was dabbling with his acting skills :| ! come on there's a reason these ppl are called playBACK singers! they'r are supposed 2 be behind da cam :D

I think among all his other songs my absolute favorite ( like most of you all) has gotta be "Kal ho na ho" from the movie "Kal ho na ho".

Anyways getting back to the current track, the lyrics have been penned by Jeetendra Joshi and the soulful sufi music touch has been composed by Shailendra Brave, the song has a distinct feel about it, the claps and the tabla beats give it a unique soothing qawwali touch. I've been listening to the song non stop since a week now :D

Cham cham lyrics - Movie : Striker

Hoo jannato ke dhar khule
Kuch baachinde the chale
Le aaye woh nanhi jaan
Uss khuda ka ik byaan
Tab se tu hai jahan mein ban ke raunak yahan ki meri jaan
Khwaishon se bhi aagey jo khushi ka mile woh armaan

Ra ra ri ri ra ra rapta ta ta ra ra ..
Cham cham jilmilate ye sitaron wale haath
Bheegi bheegini khushoo jaise teri meri baat
Ujla ujla sa ye tan, jaise mehka ho chandan
Khwabon mein teri guzrein, mera ye saara jeevan
Teri adaa mein, maasumiat hai
Phir bhi hai shoki, rangniyat hai
Taaron se bhar doon aanchal tera
Rab se bhi pyaara hai chehra tera, chehra tera, chehra tera
Ra ra ri ri ra ra rapta ta ta ra ra ..

Phool honthon pe khile, chaand aankhon mein mile
Phool honthon pe khile, chaand aankhon mein mile
Bikhre moti subah ke jaise girne teri ye muskaan
Noor barse nazar se, noori tujh mein bassi hai meri jaan
Noor barse nazar se, noori tujh mein bassi hai meri jaan
Teri jalak ki pyaasi nazar hai
Deewangi ye tera asar hai
Ruhaane rango ka ye aanchal tera
Sapno ki raaton ka ye badal mera, badal mera, badal mera
Ra ra ri ri ra ra rapta ta ta ra ra ..

Dheere dheere sar chada tera jadoo aagey bada
Dheere dheere sar chada tera jadoo jadoo aagey bada
Hua khud se juda main phir bhi tujh pe fida, main meri jaan
Ishq le le tu le le le le le mere tu mera imtehaan
Ishq le le tu le le le le le mere tu mera imtehaan
Sune safar ki, tu sohagat hai
Bakshi khuda ne jemilkiyat hai
Aaja saza de bhoori aangan mein raat
Jaise sazaya tune lamha mera, lamha mera, lamha mera
Ra ra ri ri ra ra rapta ta ta ra ra ..
