This track's performed by a band called THE ROSENBERGS and to be frank, I had never heard of them until yesterday. Yea, I had happened to download the first (latest) season of ACCIDENTALLY ON PURPOSE and that's where I heard it first. The title track was attractive, did some research on wikipedia(thanks guyz!) and deduced this unheard band called THE ROSENBERGS. Really, its a great track, very romantic kinda poppy and funky at the same time. My Rating - 9/10
I can't be anything without you
Don't ya know??? It's a shame....
I'm sitting at my desk and it's noon time...
And I want...just to call....You... Coz we go together... Just like jam & bread or maybe birds of a feather...
I don't know anything about you. don't ya know? that's the game.
I'm sitting on my bed and i wonder what will it take for u to call me? Coz we go together... Just like jam & bread or maybe birds of a feather...
Hey can u hear me? when i shout out loud i wish that you could be near me.
I don' care if the bills are paid as long as she is with me.
I don't care if my soul is saved as long as she forgives me.
I don't care if the moon is wrong wishin and a hoping.
I don't need to be an astronaut as long as you are k-k-kissing me.
Coz we go together... Just like jam & bread or maybe birds of a feather... Hey, u are listening....when i shout out loud i wish that you could be near me.
जागे है (Jaage Hain - Awake) Movie:GURU ओसत Music: AR Rahman Lyrics: Gulzar Singer(s): CHITHRA K S, MADRAS CHORALE GROUP, AR RAHMAN My Rating: 9.8/10
Reflections
What starts off simply as a lullaby by K.S Chitra, soon takes a turmoil turn.......an inspirational track.... with lyrics that shall touch your heart from the innermost artery.....and backing the lyrics is the Windy background and an even more awe-provoking CHORUS.........hats off MADRAS CHORALE GROUP!.......and I'm tired of praising him....but I can't help...coz Rahman sir gets the ultimate credential for such a gem of a track................its not a song....but an anthem!.................who with Gulzar saab has woven magic....जादू बो ही दी!
Lyrics in Hindi & English with Translation
जागे है देर तक
Jaage hai der tak (Long awake...)
हमे कुछ देर सोने दो
Humei kuch der sonei do (Let me sleep for some for a while)
थोड़ी सी रात और है
Thodi si raat aur hai (A few hours of night is still left)
सुबह तो होने दो
Subah to honei do (Let the sun rise)
आधे अधूरे ख्वाब जो
Aadhe adhoore khwaab jo (Half & incomplete dreams that...)
पुरे न हो सके
Poore na ho sakei (could never be true)
इक बार फिर से नींद में
Ik baar phir se neend mei (Let me, in this sleep....)
Movie: Raavan (2010)
Music Director: A R Rahman
Director: Mani Ratnam
Lyricist: Gulzar
Singer: Sukhwinder Singh, Am'Nico MY RATING - 9/10 Reflections
Sukhwinder Singh and Am'Nico shout Thok de Killi throughout this....groovy number......the drums...as usual have that thumping effect....will take time to like it...if you are a soft music lover....Sounds more like an IPL anthem....for the Chennai-Jalandhar team....:P............ It starts off like that song from Rang De Basanti...which one???? hmm...I don't remember actually...may be it MAsti ka Paathshala! It seems like an AADIVAASI torture song for Aishwarya....where Abhishek (Raavan/Beera) is seen moving wildly with a group of primitive men.....in pouring rain.....and a grief stricken Aishwarya is shown as a the damsel in distress.....and trust me she looks so awesome...without make up!.... Great track! High in energy....
Thok De Killi Lyrics
Thok di killi, thok di killi Break the stumps...break a leg
Ke door nahin hai, chalega dilli
It aint faraway...goin 2 Delhi
Sabko bhure aankh dikhaye tanashai darre darraye Stares at everyone....scares everyone
O bhagad billi, o thok di killi Oh Scared cat....break the stumps
Tu maar de danda, udha de killi Hit with a stick....shatter the stumps
Itraye vitraye jab bhi hadd se aagey sadme aaye worrying brings with itself lot of trauma
Aankh mein kaala kaajal, oye naak mein nathi, kaan mein jhumka smokey black eyes...a ring on the nose...earlets hanging on the ear
Paon pehene bichua aur daaye baaye maare thumka Wears a scorpion under her feet...she tilts as she walks away
Aase paase sabko ghure dekhe aur dikhaye taevar She stares at everyone around and shows off her attitude
Mujre ka nazrana maange, heeray panne nakdi zevar She asks the price for her sultry moves...in diamonds...emeralds n other gemstones
Bichde bichde keh gayi humko khoob udaye khilli dilli While departing she said...did well...u did well...
Jhoothi sachchi sehli, dumri kajri jo bhi kehli All rumours have been heard....whatever tune they may sing in
Humne ek tihagi li ghungroo jod ke chatt par tehli tied up an anklet and wandered on the terrace....
Jhoothi hai makkaar nachaiya, na koi maadi na koi maiya The dancer's a lier....a cheat...she got no blood or mother... Boondh boondh ke kapat bara main dil behlata ta tha thaiya I fill my heart with Drops of treachery Bichde bichde keh gayi humko khoob udaye khilli dilli
While departing she said...did well...u did well...
O thok di killi, o thok di killi
Yo!..Break the stumps...break a leg
Ke door nahin hai, chalega dilli
It aint faraway...goin 2 Delhi
Raat ka maal, raaton ne lutaa The trade of the night has been looted by the night itself
Chaand taaron ke guchche churaye stealing bunches of stars Din nikalna tha, apna bhi nikla the day had to come...so did mine Kisme dum hai ke suraj bujaye Who's got the balls to extinguish the sun Kisme dum hai ke suraj bujaye
Who's got the balls to extinguish the sun
Aaja milke baithe, haal sunawe dil ka Lets sit and talk about our heart's condition Dilon ko khaate gaye, gum ko pehnake chilka chilka We ate away our hearts...threw the peels at sadness Bichde bichde keh gayi humko khoob udaye khilli dilli
While departing she said...did well...u did well...
Sehte sehte ab to gardan ghar tak tar jaate hain bearing all these...its sunk to the neck
Choti ho gayi khabarein, bin mundi bhi marr jaate hain The stories have become so concise that without its head...we die
Sadiyon se chalta aaya hai ooch neech ka lambha kissa Since ages...have these differences been between the upper and the lower
Ab ki vaar hisaab chuka le, cheen ke le le apna hissa But this time, let's even it...snatch what is ours
Apna khoon bhi laal hi hoga, khol ke dekh le khaal ke jhilli Even our blood is red...can check by tearing off my flesh
Thok thok thok di killi, o thok di killi
As the semester was rolling out, all of us got busy again, in getting colossal print-outs of our projects and practical lab reports. An overstressed photocopier kept beeping for the man in-charge to replace its toner while the laserjet hollered blatantly for some air in the Computer Lab.
Students bulging out of Helical queues were inherently given a lesson on patience and the importance of waiting for one’s turn. They threw away pages that didn’t live up to their expectations. The abandoned pages, as they flew in the air, narrated a story of their own, the story that was told time and again, by the prophets of our environment.
And at the end of the day, it’s a huge job for the janitors to clean up the entire mess and all they do is dump those sheets of paper or incinerate them and what happens to the other pages, err, I mean the good ones? Of course, we assemble them neatly in beautiful folders and submit it to the faculty on the day of our practical exam (in my case, it was the same day as the day I took the prints). And what does the faculty in-charge do? Simple, he/she ensures whether the reports are checked and then throws it onto a pile of Practical reports, that are later taken to the store-room, where the pages are removed from the stick-folder and DUMPED while the folders are re-sold! This is not the story of our college, but of every institution in the state (It might be too cruel to say COUNTRY).
Worldwide consumption of paper has soared by 400 % in the past 40 years with 35 % of harvested trees being used for paper manufacture. The numbers are rising EXPONENTIALLY and it is predicted that within a decade from 2011, not more than 500 trees would be left on Earth, if the scenario doesn’t change. And it's not just the trees you have to think about. According to Waterfootprint.org, it takes 10 litres of water to produce 1 sheet of A4 paper. Meanwhile, according to the United Nations, Indians use about 25 million toner cartridges and 45 million ink cartridges a year. Think about all the Carbon emissions!
Last Saturday, whilst waiting for my turn at the Photocopier, I had a word with Brigadier Dua (Our TPO) on this issue and if we could think of some alternative to hardcopies of assignments and lab reports. As assignments are compulsory, he came up with an idea of using electronic media for assignments (for God’s sake, we are an engineering college!). And the proposed suggestion is quite practical too. I mean, everyone knows that assignments on paper are just a formality. Although it aims at improving our skills in the subject, what it actually does is improve our COPYING SPEED (and Practice has made me perfect the art). If we can spend hours on the internet, trying to hook up with the opposite gender on socialnets like orkut & facebook, we can spend a flash of a minute to send our assignments to our teachers, cant’ we?
So, here is my question – Should we ban assignments and lab reports on paper and thus, save our environment as well as progress on the frigate of technology?
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in
Cos I got time while she got freedom
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break even
Her best days will be some of my worst
She finally met a man that's gonna put her first
While I'm wide awake she's no trouble sleeping
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven... even... no
What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you,
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're ok
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces
They say bad things happen for a reason
But no wise words gonna stop the bleeding
Cos she's moved on while I'm still grieving
And when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven even... no
What am I gonna to do when the best part of me was always you,
And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up that you're ok
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces, yeah,
I'm falling to pieces
(One still in love while the other ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
(Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)
Oh you got his heart and my heart and none of the pain
You took your suitcase, I took the blame.
Now I'm try'na make sense of what little remains ooh
Cos you left me with no love and no love to my name.
I'm still alive but I'm barely breathing
Just prayin' to a god that I don't believe in
Cos I got time while she got freedom
Cos when a heart breaks no it don't break
No it don't break
No it don't break even no
What am I gonna do when the best part of me was always you and
What am I suppose to say when I'm all choked up that you're ok
(Oh glad your okay now)
I'm falling to pieces yeah
(Oh I'm glad your okay)
I'm falling to pieces yeah
(One still in love while the other ones leaving)
I'm falling to pieces
(Cos when a heart breaks no it don't breakeven)
Oh it don't break even no
Oh it don't break even no
Oh it don't break even no
Hmmm...this would be the first full length theatrical of Raavan..looks awesome....gives you a hint of the film....and a thing or two about its characters.....
Abhishek shakes up everything as the angry young Beera...the junglee......while Vikram brings back the macho man from south india to Bollywood.......with his long Veerapannish Moochies....he looks tougher than abhishek....and then that one scene where he is shown hanging by the edge of a rope-bridge....looks awesome.....excited now! Ash is great...so is Govinda...what to say...I'm all excited! and it sys...THIS JUNE in the end....God!.....1 n half months almost..............hmmm....
You saw the Hindi version....now sit back...n get ready for the tamil version of Raavan.......RAAVANAN......Vikram dons the role of Veera.......the man with 10 minds.....a hundred names....................
The best part of the teaser is the ending...where Vikram exclaims...."PATHU THALAI.......RAAVANAN"......(10 heads....raavan!)
somehow...I feel that Vikram's VEERA would be much more energetic than Abhishek's BEERA........
This track's performed by a band called THE ROSENBERGS and to be frank, I had never heard of them until yesterday.
