Dil to bachcha hai ji is a wonderful song from the movie ISHQIA... Lyrics penned by Gulzar ... brought into life with the music of Vishal Bharadwaj through the voice of Rahat Fateh Ali Khan. It was my frnd who wanted to understand the song.. and i am trying to translate it... few of the words and meanings are borrowed.. but its my perception of the song... if you have some other words please help to translate better... my urdu is not very good... but here is my attempt... ============================= Aisi uljhi nazar unse hatt ti nahi These knotty eyes does not stop staring at her... Daant se reshmi dor katt ti nahi Teeth are not able to cut the silk thread... Umar kab ki baras ke safaid ho gayi Age long ago got whitened... {contributed by reader:see comments below} Kaari badari jawani ki chatt ti nahi but the dark clouds of youth are not fading away... Walla ye dhadkan bhadne lagi hai Walla {exclamation}... these heart beats are raising... ...

I am revisiting my blog post on AIDS on this day Dec 1st. 2009 :) Two years ago on this day i wrote a post " Fight Against AIDS " as an attempt for spreading awareness. I sent it out as a mailer, and was most happy when 2 months later I received the same mailer forwarded by one of my friend. Here i am today to just with the thought of what actually causes AIDS... I did not get answers, but more questions came to mind... is it really the virus that causes AIDS? or is it our personality that spreads AIDS? If we look at evolution, The virus was just created for what it was meant to do... and it is doing its duty. Though there are several technical reasons on how the virus spreads and a campaign is on, for creating awareness, what i realized is, they are mostly the emotions and attitudes that cause the spread of HIV, and there is a need for awareness campaign on emotions and attitudes that spread it... I just listed a few I got to my mind, please comment o...

ittefaq se pyaar nahi hota, na ittefaq se hoti hai koi mulaquaat. bakht ho ya badnaseeb, taqdeer kabhi ittefaq se nahi badal jaati, humey jo ittefaq lagta hai, wo bas khuda ki tarkeeb hoti hai.

After the resolve to write my blog regularly, here I am… with my first post on "my pursuit of happiness" About 9 months ago I made the decision to move out of placements looking at the recession, which came as an omen, not to put 'corporate job for one year' even as an option. The omen goes like this… The placements at NITIE that usually took 3 days showed no signs of settlement even after 30 days. The 100% placement record since inception seamed to break with our batch. The two Business Plan contests I won just preceding the placement season augmented to my bank balance, providing seed capital for 8 months sustainance. Mujeeb (President, BHUMI ) had come to mumbai and the 2 year old plan to set up "Lazeez" for bhumi's sustainability moved out of shelves. Dad seamed very supportive and wanted me to find a job in Hyderabad!  and that’s it :) I got my 'internship at BHUMI' letters ready… and I moved to hyderabad without informing our Placeme...

Aarzoo to badey hi, dil mey liye baitha tha, Zindagi aap ke saath bitaane ki tamanna liye baitha tha, Jeewan ki is raah mey, aap ke saath ki guzarish thi. Jab yea pata bhi tha ki, hum, aapko quabool hi na the. Naa jane kyon har lamha yaad karta tha tumhey, Aap ke saath betaayi hui har pal nazar aati thi humey, laakh koshish ki, phir bhi bhula na paaya tumhe, Jab yea pata bhi tha ki, hum, aapko quabool hi na the. Shaq to koi nahi ki jigar me bhara, pyaar hi tha, Kisi ne kaaha, dil mey bhara pyaar chahare par dikh jaata hai, Nazar naa aaye to, kaat ke bhi dikha dete hum. Par kya kare aap ney, sar uthake humey dekha tak nahi. Pata tha ki, aap ko, hum quabool hi na the, Phir bhi aap se milne ki tamanna badi dil mey thi, Chahat thi bas milke baat karne ki, Kuch lamhe aap ke saath bitaane ki. Naa jaane phir kab mulaaquat hogi, Hogi bhi to, waqt bahut aage nikal chuki hogi. Tab naa mujhme kuch kahne ki himmat hogi Aur na tumhe kuch sunaney ki ijaazat. Zindagi ka ye kh...
