Why?

jiven rukia / (the) way you paused
si tu zara / slightly
nahion bhulna / i shan't forget
main sari umar / all my life
jiven akhia si akhan chura / you said, looking away
"rovenga sannu yad kar" / "you shall weep in my memory"
hasia si main hassa ajeeb / i laughed a strange laugh
(par) tu nahi si hasia / but you didn't
dil vich tera jo raaz si / the secret you kept in your heart
mainu tu kyun nahi dasseya / why didn't you say it to me

Gill Te Guitar

Here's a Summer of 69-ish number from the first true Indian Brand in Music. Mind you, I'm not suggesting replications, I'm suggesting genres.






Ek minute ek minute paaji shuru ton...

1, 2, 3, 4...

ve yaar mere kade sege tin chaar
katthe ched dey si kudiyaan
katthe Khaadi assan maar
Pehlaan Pallaa gaya
phir aeru gaya baar
hun saanga vi dubai
bache gill te guitar

palle te meri kismat si buri
assi firde rahe par na manni koi kudi
bhave kahk si kaj si (?)
sannu si nasha
Kadde hovange kalle
sanu ki pata

ve yaar mere kade sege tin chaar
katthe ched dey si kudiyaan
katthe Khaadi assan maar
Pehlaan Pallaa gaya
phir aeru gaya baar
hun saanga vi dubai
bache gill te guitar

Aeru si lammba main si chotta
main si bahutaan kharab oh zara si thoda
uddon lad ke kai din na assan bolnaa
hun chah ke vi milda na dukh kholna

mileyaa kal ik raahi mainu
kehndaa gal sun meri tu khol kann
jaddon na kujh agge disse
tahiyon bandaa vekhe picche

sanga apna si bandaa tagraa
kade darr na fikar udde nede lagaa
bare din baad kal aaya udda phone si
kehndaa din taan lang jaada ae
par shaam nai

ve yaar mere kade seege tin chaar
katthe ched dey si kudiyaan
katthe Khaadi assan maar
Pehlaan Pallaa gaya
phir aeru gaya baar
hun saanga vi dubai
bache gill te guitar

ve yaar mere

ve yaar mere

ve yaar mere

ve yaar mere

one min bro let's do it from the start...

1, 2, 3, 4...

We were 3-4 friends
We used to flirt with girls together
And got beaten up together
Palla went First
Aeru followed
Now Sanga is moving to Dubai
Left: Gill and Guitar

Palla and I had terrible luck
We went around but found no gal
/** I don't know **/
We were intoxicated
That one day we'll be alone
We didn't know

We were 3-4 friends
We used to flirt with girls together
And got beaten up together
Palla went First
Aeru followed
Now Sanga is moving to Dubai
Left: Gill and Guitar

Aeru was tall and I was short
I was very evil, he was lesser
We used to fight and not talk for days
Now we can't share grief even when we want

I met a vagrant yesterday
He said, listen to me, open your ears
When you can't see what's ahead
you turn to see what's gone by

Sanga was a strong man
Fear or worry never came near him
He called me yesterday, after a long time
Said that the days pass through
But the evenings don't

We were 3-4 friends
We used to flirt with girls together
And got beaten up together
Palla went First
Aeru followed
Now Sanga is moving to Dubai
Left: Gill and Guitar

Oh, my friends...

Oh, my friends...

Oh, my friends...

Oh, my friends...


Goddamnit Rabbi, you rock dude. Let me spell it for you. R-O-C-K

It's in my blood, not in my hair

An amazing and daring piece on making sense of religious teachings. The Author is known to be radical, but conventionalists will find it hard to rationally disqualify his conjectures.

Me? I agree wholeheartedly. Religion is not anyone’s authority. Like the constitution, there can be a million interpretations of a document that has unquestionably been written in a completely different context. Adaptation and Progress are the keywords for our species. And they will remain to be so, no matter how many people keep banging their heads on the seats of Authority, hoping for the forthcoming generations to assiduously follow adjunct practices of their tailored religion.

Bodies are born and burnt. The soul survives. However, it’s invisibility is mistaken for insignificance.

The Wait

Aaj fir ek sawaal ka javaab nahin
Aaj fir kuch mujhe gavara nahin

Abhi tera waqt hai kaainaat wale,
ek mehfooz sa ghar banale

Kal ko waqt mera bhi aayega
Tujhe tabaahi se kaun bachayega

Cool Mozilla Firefox Extensions

There is a certain ignorance amongst internet creatures regarding Mozilla Extensions. I felt that because the topic came up in converation with KD today, and he didn't know much about them. And if he doesn't, well, then it's safe to say a LOT of people don't.

So here's a list of neat tweaks to make your foxes foxier:
  1. Sage - The best Integrated RSS reader for Firefox. The CSS Style for RSS looks drab after some use. Here's an idea for those of you initiated in development and looking for making something popular quick - An RSS Reader with some cool content templates.
  2. BlogThis - Adds the Blogger "Blog this!" functionality to firefox.
  3. googlebar - :)
  4. easyGestures - Do everything with a middle click.
  5. FoxyTunes - The one I use the most. Allows you to control your music player from within firefox status bar, you can hide the player or open/close right from the neat little control buttons. Mmmuuuah
