Khayalon Mein Kisi Ke

Khayalon mein kisi ke is tarah aaya nahi karte
Kisi ko bewafa ke tadpaya nahi karte..
Khayalon mein kisi ke.. (2)

Dilon ko raund kar dil apna behlaya nahi karte
Jo Thukraye gaye ho unko thukraya nahi karte
Dilon ko raund kar...

Hansi phoolon ki do din chandni bhi chaar din ki hai
Chandini chaar din ki hai
mili ho chand si soorat to itraya nahi karte
Kisi to bewafa ke tadpaya nahi karte
Khayalon mein kisi ke

Jinhe mitna ho woh mitne se dar jaaya nahi karte
Woh Dar jaaya nahi karte
Mohabbat karne wale gham se ghabraya nahin karte
Kisi ko bewafa ke tadpaya nahi karte
Khayalon mein kisi ke

Mohabbat ka sabak seekho, yeh jaakar jalnewalon se
yeh jaakar jalnewalon se
ke dil ki baat bhi lab tak kabhi laaya nahi karte
jo thukraye gaye ho unko thukraya nahi karte

Khayalon mein kisi ke, is tarah aaya nahi karte
kisi ko bewafa ke tadpaya nahi karte
Khayalon mein kisi ke

Movie..Bawre Nain (1950) Sung by Lata Mangeshkar (?) and Mukesh

Got up dreaming about this song in the morning, it was playing in my head as I woke up and I haven't been able to shake it off since..so had to listen to it and also pen the lyrics down..perhaps the DJ inside my head can change the track! ;)

Or not.. ;)

Cheers

I was here when they held it in New Delhi in Dec 2004. Was a great occasion to represent my department at IITM.

Glad to see the efforts made in this direction.

Good luck! Keep up the good work. :) Hope to be part of it some day. :)

QUOTE OF THE DAY

"Wonderful things are wonderful the first time they happen, but their wonderfulness wanes with repetition: psychologists call this habituation, economists call it declining marginal utility, and the rest of us just call it marriage."

Daniel Gilbert, Stumbling on Happiness

Drops of Jupiter

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
With drops of Jupiter in her hair, hey, hey
She acts like summer and walks like rain
Reminds me that there's time to change, hey, hey
Since the return from her stay on the moon
She listens like spring and she talks like June, hey, hey

Tell me did you sail across the sun
Did you make it to the Milky Way to see the lights all faded
And that heaven is overrated

Tell me, did you fall for a shooting star
One without a permanent scar
And did you miss me while you were looking at yourself out there

Now that she's back from that soul vacation
Tracing her way through the constellation, hey, hey
She checks out Mozart while she does tae-bo
Reminds me that there's time to grow, hey, hey

Now that she's back in the atmosphere
I'm afraid that she might think of me as plain ol' Jane
Told a story about a man who is too afraid to fly so he never did land

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back to the Milky way
And tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out there

Can you imagine no love, pride, deep-fried chicken
Your best friend always sticking up for you even when I know you're wrong
Can you imagine no first dance, freeze dried romance five-hour phone conversation
The best soy latte that you ever had..and me

Tell me did the wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day
And head back toward the Milky Way

Repeat 1st Chorus

(Thank you for the song, PS) :)

Closer than my peeps you are to me..

Singapore 2006, in a cab with friends on the way to a dinner, and the radio plays Shaggy's Angel..and that's enough to send me into a flashback rewind to 2003, to Vizag..RT, HV, Mru, SM, me, SS, A n Macha...the Shaggy album had released then, and I couldn't get enough of the album, Shaggy was a constant request from me, and graciously granted by whoever happened to be driving at that time! ;)

"Life is one big party when you're still young.." and yes what a party it was in Vizag! One of the most memorable times of my life..

Flashforward to 2006..In infrequent contact with everyone, but got mails from RT and HV, both invitations to their lovely wedding in Jan..here's to both of you for a great life ahead..love you both! :) Shaggy's Angel dedicated to both of you..:)

Lyrics of Angel here

SOMETHING GOOD

The pursuit of excellence
Kindness towards all
A generous spirit
Laughter joy and cheer
Optimism, a positive outlook
Something good..

(I'd written this a long time ago and saved as draft, just publishing it now coz I feel I could use 'something good') :)

Delightful qawwali..infact all songs in this movie are great..the magic of OP Nayyar, Mohd. Rafi and Asha Bhonsle.. ;) lyrics of the qawwali..
