Hey my dear super-hero, happy bud-day! :)

Many many many many many more happy returns of the day baby! :) I've always refrained from sending you wishes over social media or forums (like this), coz I think it's all jinxed. But I'm totally helpless this year. This is the first time after wedding, I'm away from you on your most special day of the year. It annoys me like anything :( So just writing it all down lying on a bed in Bozeman, looking at lush green mountains, thinking about you and just you! Anyways let's take it all for good. Hope this short little note of mine brings a spark in your eyes and relieves the pain of missing me until I see you! :) On the good side, you get to spend it with our naughty little girl and call it a "daddy and daughter's day out". How cool is that?

Let me tell you on your birthday that you're my super-man (in every sense)! :) I don't know what good deeds have my parents did in the previous births to have found such a perfect match for me. Yes, I do irritate you a lot. No one could annoy you as much as I do. At the same time no-one in this world other than you can tolerate my sense of craziness and embrace my ignorance as good as you.  To top it all, you do all these effortlessly. It's been 5 years of knowing you but it seems like a lifetime. Starting from fighting over petty things to deciding the next Netflix series that we keep binge watching, we've come a long way. And even today, you give me all those butterfly moments and "mozhi" moments with lights turning on top of my head and bells ringing.  Just reminding you to keep up with it for the next 100+ years that we spend in each other's company! :) I know you will. Love you to the moon and beyond for having my back all the time and for loving me with all your heart and soul! :) As far as parenting goes, our daughter is gifted *touchwood*. There is no doubt that you've set the bar high that she's gonna have a hard time finding a person in future to match her expectations!

Well, enjoy the day with our little one.. It's her wishing you "happy bud-day to you appa"! :) Figure out a place for birthday dinner and we can hit the place as soon as I land tomorrow! :) Miss you terribly!!! Happy birthday once again, baby!

Before I step into 2015!

Ok! I know its been a while... :P But its never toooooo late to write a blogpost :D It might seem like I write only farewel posts in my blog evry year.. Yes, 2014 kept me a lil busy tat I couldn't spend my tym whole-heartedly in my blog... However I wanted to complete dis vry badly to leave de footprints of 2014 to be revisited by me to cherish those moments n memories ! :) The year did start as usual with not much expectations except those admit cards which wer in de air.. Oh yea, I can't miss by Bday celeb of de yr.. It was at my very own metro wit de whole family at midnit 12 ! :D Arthi ka, v missed yu dis yr... Last yr, yu all gav me a surprise de moment I landed from Shirdi. Dis tym, it was no less than tat except tat yu, kumaran mama, sharu baby n vaalee wer solely missed. Btw vidhu ka, I hope my watch is stil safe ! :) 

The life-changing event happened on 25th of March wen I received an email from Cornell confirming my admission for the M.Eng Program ! :) Voila! :) :) I was actually checking my emails sitting on my bed in the PG after coming back from ofc and wen I actually saw an email from Cornell, my joy knew no bounds. I jst can't express in words abt de feelings that I had tat eve since all those frustrations of job hunt n stuff tat happened in de yr 2010 was happening again in lyf wen 2014 started since no universities turned bak with their decisions. Then came Cornell like a blessing in disguise! :) I started calling everyone startin from amma, appa, vidhu ka, babu mama, arthi ka, kumaran mama to convey de news.. And yea, they all gave a mixed kinda expressions since they wanted me to get married before I pursue my studies like all typical Indian families! :D It was a little easier to convince though since the course tat I got thru was jst for 9 months! :)

Admission mil gayi.. Wat mre do I want in lyf?! :) I had a completely wrong perception.. Den came in de real headache.. All those I20 funds, running behind de banks for loan, de Visa documents, etc.. etc...etc...  Almost starting from April til July, all my weekends were spent in the banks more than at home. Somehow, everything was sorted out and I booked my tickets for July. Meanwhile, I had conveyed my team also about my resignation and they were a pretty upset for obvious reasons. I started shopping in full swing along with my frnd who was coming for Masters along with me. We almost shopped everywhr starting from Commercial street, MG Road, Indira Nagar n so many places and almost every Levis showroom would know our faces by then! :P 

July 18, 2014.. It was exactly 3 yrs since I joined NetApp (July 18, 2011) as a full-time employee. I was almost done wit my KT also by then.. It was such a great farewell given by the team.. Lunch with the farewell gift.. and who would have guessed that they wud give me a silver Sai-Baba Idol ! :) They also gifted me a clutch along with such a cute greeting card wit all their wishes written on it! More than all tat, the farewell speech given by each and everyone for me was such a pleasant experience and I was moved to tears, literally! :) Team, I miss you too...

July 28, 2014.. 10 days were left since de tym I left NetApp for me to board the flight.. Most of the tym was spent with SBI for de loan procedures.. Rest half at home wit amma n appa.. All packing was done by vidhu ka n blore athai.. So I had not even 0.01% percent of idea abt wat was kept in my baggage :P British Airways, it was... De first tym International flight experience.. And yes, I had like zillions of doubts that I kept buggin Babu mama abt de Immigration procedures in London n US over n over again. Finally, with all de doubts settled, I was all set to board de flight.. Babu mama had left to Canada by then for on-site... So it was appa, amma, vidhu ka and de most spl person of my lyf who had come for send-off.. De most spl person was my sai-krishhiiiiii who keeps calling nivi-thithiiiiii every single sec wen I'm around.. But without much drama in de airport, I waved bye to all of dem n boarded de flight. The first flight till London was pretty gud and I din't find it tiring since most of de faces looked familiar in de flight and it had de total Indian-flight ka environment. 5 hrs of layover at London... I had looked at the airport from one-end to the other for almost close to 4-5 times having nothing to do.. Had some sudoku papers in de waiting area.. And finally noticed de free wi-fi around... Tym jst flew. Next flight was a lil horrible though.. Not sure if I was suffocating so much coz of those drinks around but it annoyed me a lot tat I was waiting for the flight to land in Boston.. 

Boston... Journey was smooth so der should be something tat comes to it in de name of "dhristi".. I wasn't able to locate my bags in de conveyor belt. Somehow those ppl returned my baggage after an hour wait. Gud tat it didn't come in de conveyor belt since I dint hav de pain of carryin it! :P Was so happy seeing everyone especially sharu baby n vaaaleee! :) 

It took me a while to get settled and luckily I dint have much of jet lag trouble. Did most of my purchase in Boston wit akka n mama before coming to Ithaca. Reached Ithaca on Aug 15th and anything tat follows Ithaca's experience and Cornell's experience wil be in de upcoming posts since I don't wanna extend dis post anymre ! :) It has been a great journey and experience so far in Cornell and got placed too (this experience wud again be covered in de nxt post) ! :)  

Many thanks to all de technologies!:) Thanks to Skype, Viber, WeChat, WhatsApp, Facebook... I'm missing everyone very badly but not really! :) Confusin, hain na?! ;) However thanks to the year 2014 for all tat it has given me.. for all de lessons tat it had taught me.. for all the joy tat it showered on me... for all the trouble tat it gave me but at de same tym de strength tat it provided me to overcome de trouble :P Thanks to another lyf-changin moment tat 2014 gav me on Oct 11! :) Above all, Thanks to de Almighty and my parents and my family and my frnds for making me wat I'm today! :) I owe yu all tons n tons of luv n affection wherever I go! Luv yu n Miss yu! God Bless!

Until nxt tym! P.S : 2015, Better be swt to us! :)

GoodBye 2013 & Welcome 2014!

It looks as if '2013 just started' but days just fly! Gud in one way but scary when yu get to know tat yu r getting older :P

2013 has been an yet another awesome year! Year started off well with the Shirdi trip on my Bday (Jan 12) which I would treasure for my lifetime just because it happened. Planned it all of a sudden and was able to execute it perfectly! First ever flight trip for me and my dad! It was then followed by the Shimoga trip on Jan 18 with the most loving ppl...Jaya aunty, Buchi, Kathy aunty and my mom.. All Ladies?! yes :P The totally unplanned trip was all the more enjoyable and we had one of our best times in Shimoga! 

Professionally, I did get a chance to try out evrythn that was in my To-do list..Participated in an Internal showcase event for the 2nd time and got lots of appreciations for the same followed by TCS 5k Majja run... Got promoted... My long-term dream came true - DANCE.. So far have been a part of it in School, College, Hostel and now at Office ! :)

On de personal front, der were a couple of hangouts with friends in and arnd bangalore...I meant only de shopping malls and restaurants..Whr else :P ! :) Awesome tym spent wit my roomie wit various photo shoots, vetti discussions abt future plans (though none had a clear-cut conclusion :P ) & paatu kacheri along wit nadanam once in a month! :P Videos preserved & also few r censored :D Nevertheless, der wer trips wit de family to native and few of de navagraha temples!

Coming bak to the highlights of 2013.... Took the biggest step of my life after about 2 yrs of dilemma! - GRE! :P And yes, the marks were quite decent..might be bcoz of de luck factor which keeps coming arnd me once in a while! :) Pls note : Once in a while! :P:P De other highlight was my writing score in TOEFL for which I keep thanking my blog every now and then ! 29 out of 30! It took me a while to digest my score! :P And nw, plz refrain from asking my overall score ! :P Having the scores in hand, shortlisted a couple of univ in & arnd New York to stay close to my sister if possible and yea, the Climate factor being the other reason! Hopefully everything goes wel in 2014..So Fingers Crossed for nw! :) Watch out dis space for mre updates! :P

Thanking de Almighty for everything that he has offered me so far in my life! Looking forward to a gr8 year ahead! :)

Aarambam - Dis is jst de Beginning! ;-)

The one-man army it is! The movie did receive mixed reviews from the audience, mainly because the overall plot wasn't well-planned. Agreeeeed! Yet ppl would go crazy for tat one person on-screen. Oh my gosh! Can someone luk so gud inspite of their salt & pepper look & stout stature?! Wanted to watch it very badly on the first day and yes I did (Oct 31^st, the “D” day) ! Had a sense of satisfaction bcoz I watched de movie but regretted it since I watched it in Blore amidst complete silence! Neither whistles nor screams! Neither for Hero’s intro nor for heroine’s entry! Cum on ppl.. Its tym to grow up! Yu wont lost yr two lbs wen yu shout or atleast clap wen dey appear! Wateverrr!!!

Booked it for de wrong show tym out of complete excitement yet V made it! :P The story was based on the terrible misfortune tat we faced on 26/11 , the serial blasts in Mumbai. The first half of de movie was so very exciting tat it kept the audience on the edge of their seats! Contrastingly, the 2^nd half was too draggy which made me look at my watch twice or thrice! Atlast the movie ended as an usual revenge story which cud ve been made better! However Kudos to de director for giving us an hero-centric movie!

Coming to de cast, it was a double bonanza for me! Aarambam  - Ajith & Arya! De combo was way too gud in de movie! Cant jst take off my eyes from dem through the entire movie! Arya has done his part so well and he is equally gud in de movie! They went hand in hand wit each other and it was a complete entertaining package for Ajith cum Arya fans lik me! Thank you vishnuvardhan for choosing such a spl cast! :)

Nayanthara – Nw I’m little scared! Don’t let me cum into yr fans’ club by acting so wel! Yu r an awesome actress for sure and there is no doubt abt it! I’m admitting dis after watching yr performances in Billa & nw in Aarambam! Noone in tamil industry cud ve done yr role any better than yu! Yu hav done a complete justice to yr character in de movie! Keep dis going!

Tapsee – Sry I don’t wanna comment! Yu might want to learn a bit of acting even before I share my reviews abt yu! May be yr character in de movie demanded tat childishness( not sure wat to call it) yet it was so artificial! “Baby” was at times irritating! Arya cud ve had a better pair! My two cents!

Der were two other roles in de movie which impressed me a lot! Rana Daggubati & Kishore – Their roles were not tat prominent but dey were de real actors in de movie! Hats off to yu guys! Keep rocking!

Music – Unfortunately didn’t make it to the expectations! Bgm cud ve been much better! I liked the “Melala vedikudhu” song the most bcoz of its colorful picturisation and it sounded so gud in de theatre!  “En fuse pochu” is my another favourite from de movie!

The Hero - Ajith – the Thala!!! Never getting tired of seeing him in de action-packed roles! Be it his stunts! Be it his style! Be it his walk! Be it his smile! Be it his acting! Be it his dialogue delivery! Be it his…etc….! He is jst de best! Cud go to de theatres jst to watch tat one mass scene over & over again – the look tat he gives to an officer for holding his hands! Masha Allah & of course Insha Allah!:) Long liv yu & yr career!

Aarambam – The Stylish Action-Packed Entertainer exclusively for one & only Ajith fans!

Watch out for de next review! Dis is jst de beginning!;-)

My First Luv! :)

May be the lines r written jst for yu and I dont think dey need an explanation -

Tum hi ho Ab tum hi ho!

Zindagi ab tum hi ho!

Chain bhi meri dard bhi!

Meri aashiqui ab tum hi ho!

Lyf wudnt hav been de same without yu!

I always raise my collars & say "Lucky me" just bcoz I hav yu!

Yu hav always been dere for me..Be it my good times or my bad times!

Yu hav been more than a pillar of support for me!

Yu hav been my well-wisher, my protector, my friend and wat not!

Yu care for me! Yu pray for me! Yu make me feel good!

Yu make sure tat I get "The Best" of evrythng. Must be "The Best-est" if Grammar

cud go wrong for my statement to be right!

Yu know how much yu mean to me but you wud still ask - "Do yu luv me?" and de constant answer from me wud be - "Ungaluku vera velaye illaya?"!

Yu often tel me tat I'm not tat expressive and may be tat prompted me to write dis down

jst for yu and only for yu! 

Yu r such an amazing person & Thank yu for jst being in my life!

Mom I luv yu loads & loads! yu know it anyways! :)

P.S : For those sisters peeping in, plz replace I , my & me wit We, our & us!! :P :P

The Ultimate MAN @ star! ;-)

Labour's day and especially Ajith's B'day! His 53rd movie's teaser was definitely a visual tr8 for all his fans on his b'day! Expecting the movie to get released soon and awaiting to watch it on the first day of its release...:P

I still remembr de days wen I used to roam arnd thiruvanmiyur to get a sight of his residence which is in Valmiki nagar that is very close to the beach... Crazy days *-*..(I still do.. :P)  No specific reason but I ve always admired him for wat he was & wat he is... Inspite of de not-so-gud movies tat he had given in the recent yrs (to name a few ...attagasam, tirupathi, anjaneya, etc..), his fan base doesn't seem to hav reduced...In fact he is a rock star amidst so many young chaps nw... Down-to-earth.. So humble...polite...  HE is an epitome of Evrything!!! I respect him as a person, as a human being more than a star...And many many many mre happy returns of de day thala...! Long liv yu & yr principles!:) PROUD to be UR FAN! :) 

Never Ending Hang^Out !;-)

18-Jan-2013... It was a bright sunny day. As usual I had to take a planned (:P) for a totally Unplanned trip. It all started wit Thailand but konjam take diversion eduthu it ended up in Shimoga... Never mind..a trip is a trip no matter which place it is... :P In fact dis tym it was not my frnds who accompanied me.. it was altogether a different gang and dey call themselves as 'JayKatRen' @ TriAura.. Never go by their names.. :P JaykatRen are none other than my mom and & her 2 close frnds since coll... (Jaya, Kathy & Renu)... 30+ yrs (JKR - Correct me if I'm wrong :D) of frndship n still continues.. Time  for them to save themselves from an evil eye :P 3 yrs back, the 3 gr8 women had been for the North India trip all alone covering the places till Kashmir. I thought it was not a big deal and Nw, I totally  regret after seeing de pics dey ve captured.. Oh man, I shud say 'It was mind-blowing'. Hmmmm....

Shimoga... It was JayKatRen, Nivi & Buchi (jaya aunty's successor & her exact replica :P) !! Left blore at around 1 in de noon by Car wit de packed lunch... And so much of Snacks as if we wer going for a week's trip :P Oru vazhiya blore cross pannom.. Thot of having a break near Tumkur & had our lunch..If i remembr correctly, it was Veg Pulao , Yummy Panneer Curry, Chips... and No perfect meal ends without curd rice & pickle :P Der was a handloom shop nearby whr v did some kind of mini shopping and continued our journey.. Played cards for half of de journey... It was almost 7 pm wen v reached Shimoga @ Shivamogga... But its not de place whr v halted.. V travelled a little further... It was the Matthuga Homestay tat we chose... De way to the homestay was a little scary & isolated situated amidst the Areca plantation... However de cottages wer really really Gud & much satisfactory! Perhaps, it was de perfect tym for dinner... Oru full round dinner saaptu poi thoongnadhu dhan nyabagam iruku :P

Got up a little early de nxt day..Apdi Ipdi nu ready aagi v headed for de breakfast.. Since v wer staying close to Jog falls, v thot we wil cover tat spot first...JOG Falls - Pictures la dhan paathurukan avlo water... Anga pona  v had to search whr de water falls was...:P V wer jst roaming arnd de place, captured some snaps.. And had a 'hahahahaha' chat as ever:P Den it was Talakalale dam... Waited for sometime enjoying the flowing water and went for Boating... Sema ragalai :P... Highlight ye Jaya Aunty's poses for pictures only! :P  Der was one remarkable incident tat happened wen we wer abt to end de journey. While de person who drove de boat was helping us to step out from it, Jaya Aunty shook de boat so much tat she was almost abt to push him into water :P Aunty, any revenge ?! Huh?!:P Bak 2 de homestay for Lunch.. Rested a bit... and started bak 2 a place called Sigandoor wit lots & lots of expectations & excitement (Google to see its speciality :P) Aana Adhellam oru kurugiya kaalathuku dhan :P Launch Ippa varum Appa varum nu wait panni 2 launch'a miss panni 3rd launch la oru vazhiya allow pannaanga... De Revolt den began.. Adhu varaikum Enga gang la oru Vijayashanthi (Kathy aunty :P) irundhadhu theriyaama pochu! 'Poda' nu aunty anniku sonnadhu inniku varaikkum Echo aagudhu...!  I salute yu aunty :P Prob yennana dey wanted to giv preferences to de local buses and thereby asked us to wait for de 4th launch 2 come! Dey tested our patience 2 de core tat v thot of dropping de plan & atlast came bak 2 our homestay.. Fun begins from nw on... V started playing cards and were laughing so loud so tat our voices wud ve reached miles :P Gud tat de homestay didnt charge us extra for our midnight chit-chat :P 

De nxt mrng, v vacated de homestay after havin our brkfst... V had planned to go for a jungle safari near Shimoga... Though they had each & every animals locked up in their own enclosures, we shouldnt call it a "Zoo'..It is a 'Jungle safari' according to dem :P But yeah, it was worth visiting it once! Wide array of wild animals yu cud see!! It was almost lunch time... So as per de plan, v had it in 'Hotel Royal Orchid' and it was a tr8 from Jaya aunty for No Reason I guess :P After having a heavy lunch, v left de place wit a heavy heart! Since the driver who accompanied us was based out of KA, he had only Kannada songs and very few Tamil songs out of which one was Kalasala from Osthi... My mom asked him to play tat song so repeatedly tat at one stage (Nw it has b'com Buchi's mrng wake-up song it seems :P and her inspiration for tat song is none othr than my mom ), we wer pushed to a situation tat we had to watch a Kannada movie for passing de tym...  No doubt we cudnt make anything out of de dialogues tat went on in de movie... De real fun started here.. Buchi and my mom started giving voice dub for de entire movie by having de audio in Mute.. I can bet tat de director of de movie wud ve commited suicide by den if he had listened to de voice dub given... Infact dey changed a serious violent movie into a full-tym comedy movie  :P  Having such entertainment in place, we didnt actually realise de tym... Reached Blore around 8 in de night and here ends our trip :)

V initially thot tat de idea of 5 women going for a trip is just a pie in de sky but V did it :P and I totally thoroughly completely enjoyed it and so did others..:) Btw, thank yu so much buchi.. yu were de sole reason for making dis happen ! :) 

Cheers & Bubye!!! :)

My mind speaks!!! Ssshh..;-)

'm stil alive... haha... I mean even after de Dooms day! (:P) Having entered the Intermediate level in ‘Unblock me’ after completing about 1200 odd puzzles and having crossed an avg speed of 70 wpm in typeracer wit 92% accuracy, its now tym for me to take a break from tat schedule and peep into my blog !

Der is nothing specific tat I hav in my mind nw to jot it down. But stil wanted to write it the way it goes and hence the title!!!

Keeping my travelogue stuff aside, wat lse can I talk on?! If I had to talk something on de cookery trials tat I hav taken in the recent past, yes I cud… On de one hand, I don think ppl over der wud be ready to tak any risks on my recipes (:P)…! On de other hand, I wud like to say tat de Veg Schezwan Fried Rice & American Chopsuey was not tat bad... It was ofcourse a joint venture..!

Coming to 2012, the year was hmmmmmm Gud... A little different than 2011... Had lots & lots of swt moments which I wud luv to recollect it evry nw & den.. Der wer some bitter moments as wel..!

Wat lse... Wishing yu all a very Gud yr ahead !;-) Stay Cool Stay Happppyyyy!;-)

Que Dios los bendiga (Sorry for the typo, if any;-P)

As I (we) travel !!! ;-)

I know I'm late in de game... Its been exactly 100 days since I had been for a short trip... & to be more precise, for a pilgrimage..

It was on Jun 30th... Had to be ready by Early mrng 4 am... Sry it has to be late-night hr in my dictionary ;-P De most funny part was tat I had to lead de ppl coming wit me..& it was none other than my partner frnd (understood!)... Started de day wit a good-day biscuit & was waiting for others to cum & pick us up.

Jst got a call from de head of our trip asking us the directions & it was me who guided them.. By dis tym, yu shud ve understood tat hw easy or tough it wud ve been for dem 2 find us... Landmark given was Mast Kalandar/Hero Honda showroom... And my bad ;-( De roads were highly deserted & de street lights were all turned off...[right dhan... yaarume illaadha kadaiku yaaruku tea aathuvaanga;-P] Gud tat dey stopped a few steps ahead of hero honda showroom by giving a wild guess & V ended up walking hardly 200 metres to reach de cab..

And thus started our trip... We hav spoken so much even before realizing tat de cab driver understands 'Tamil'. Vada poche ;-P But... wat 2 do? Past is past... Nothin cud be done... Infact, he was really gifted to hav been accompanied by the 6 most beautiful women [literally chatterboxes] in the world... lol...

Spent our journey time by playing cards... And it was almost 8 am when we crossed Mysore... Had a hard time searching for restaurants on de way... Finally, got one in Nanjangud... Had our brkfst & dint want to leav de place without saying 'Hi' to the Lord Shiva der.. Here is de history behind the temple - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanjangud ... De temple was so very gud & I liked it so much.. Der was indeed an interesting belief inside de temple to check out hw many leaves in a tree r visible to us...

Headed towards Himavad Gopalswamy Betta which I would rather call as an abode of wind. Our pictures taken der wud reveal de same. But it was again an awesome place to be visited. So dis tym it was Lord Krishna who showered his blessings on us. Spent our tym enjoyin de weather over der & attempting to take pics...(though it was in vain :P) Our return from HG betta was quite interesting since v did take de bandipur road which was all de more adventurous.

So de final place of our trip was BR Hills. Lord Venkatesha happened to meet us oops its the other way around... We got to see the large pair of slippers presented to the Lord by the Local tribes and de story behind the slippers getting torn evry two yrs was nice 2 hear. We were awaiting to watch the sunset but unfortunately we couldn't. However, de place was worth visiting. 

Started bak to blore & reached A2B directly for our dinner. Nothing mre 2 say... The trip was overall enjoyable & Yes, I enjoyed it personally;-)

Got to go...(go go goaaaaaaa...) More to follow ;-) Keep waiting...;-P

A bientot! ;-)

Just Dropping By To Say Hi !!!

(Female Version)

Na Kuch Poocha, Na Kuch Maanga

Tune Dil se Diya Jo Diya

Na Kuch Bola, Na Kuch Tola

Muskura Ke Diya Jo Diya

Tu Hi Dhoop, Tu Hi Chau

Tu Hi Apna Paraya

Aur Kuch Na Janu, Bas Itna Hi Janu

Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu

Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu

Sajdhe sar jukhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu

Rab Ne.. Bana Di Jodiiii…..

(Male Version)

Tu hi toh jannat meri, Tu hi mera junoon
Tu hi to mannat meri, Tu hi rooh ka sukoon
Tu hi aakhion ki thandak, tu hi dil ki hai dastak
Aur kuch na janu mein, bas itna hi jaanu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Sajdhe sar jukhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu

Ohhhh hoooo ohh….

Kaisi hai yeh doori, kaisi majboori
Meine nazron se tujhe choo liya
Oh ho ho Kabhi teri khusboo
Kabhi teri baatein
Bin mange yeh jahan pa liya
Tu hi dil ki hai raunak,
Tu hi janmo ki daulat
Aur kuch na janoo
Bas itna hi janoo
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu

Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Sajdhe sar jukhta hai
Yaara mein kya karuo
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karuo

Vasdi vasdi vasdi, dil di dil vich vasdi
Nasdi nasdi nasdi, dil ro ve te nasdi
Rab Ne… Bana Di Jodi…..haiiiiii
Vasdi vasdi vasdi, dil di dil vich vasdi
Nasdi nasdi nasdi, dil ro ve te nasdi

Cham cham aaye, mujhe tarsaye
Tera saaya ched ke chumta
Oh ho ho… tu jo muskaye
Tu jo sharmaye
Jaise mera hai khuda jhumta
Tu hi meri hai barkat, tu hi meri ibadat
Aur kuch na janu, bas itna hi janu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Sajdhe sar jukhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu
Tujh mein rab dikhta hai
Yaara mein kya karu

In recent years, Listening to songs and singing along has b’com more of a passion rather than a hobby! Keep listening to songs & yu wud soon feel tat evry song has an emotion & a lyf of its own… Der r songs which make yu listen to it over & over again no matter hw much ever  yu ve listened to it in de past. Der r few mre which take yu to a different world wen yu listen to it and make yu get goosebumps.  I do hav a perfect blend of all my fav Genres in my playlist. Never try 2 get de meaning out of the song,  jst listen to de beat & enjoy. As dey say, it was once upon a tym, long long ago, so long ago wen lyricists came up with the Song like 'மலர்ந்தும் மலராத பாதி மலர் போல மலரும் விழிவண்ணமே - வந்து விடியும் விடியாத காலைப் பொழுதாக விடிந்த கலையன்னமே ', which had solid meaning in it. Nw a days, Yu cud hardly find songs lik tat. Der has been a drastic change in de trend and der s no doubt tat music wud continue to make further strides in the upcoming years.  In fact, de songs lik ‘Sheila ki Jawaani’ & ‘Chikni Chameli’ wud make yu feel lik yu r dancing even wen yu r not on de floor. Alwys listen 2 de music tat best suits yr mood, tat soothes yr mind & no wonder yu wud den say ‘I Feel Up!!!’.  

#Way too obsessed wit Music!!! ;-P

अच्छा फिर मिलेंगे …Until den its yr Nivi signing off… …अपना ख्याल रखना;-)
