    Some gems of poetry from hindi movies.

    Likhte rahe hai tumhe roj hi magar
    Khwaishon ke khat kabhi bheje hi nahi, nahi
    Ainak lagake kabhi padhna woh chithiya
    Ankhon ke pani mein rakhna woh chitiya

    ~ Gulzar, Hu Tu Tu ~

    Chalte chalte mera saya, kabhi kabhi yoon karta hai,
    Zaameen se uthke samne aakar, haath pakad ke kehta hai,
    Ab ke baar mein aage aage chalta hoon,
    Aur tu mera peecha karke dekh zara kya hota hai.

    ~ Izajat ~

    Jab Nasha Tutataa Hai, Kitne Tukade Gire Hain
    Hosh Chunane Lage Hum, Hum Bhi Kya Sar Phire Hain

    ~ Phoonk De – No Smoking ~

    From: Random Thoughts

  • Random songs

    Songs that have been playing all day long (please do not ask how though, they are not supposed to!)

    • Trouble – Coldplay
    • Kholo kholo – Taare Zameen Par [music] – it is def must listen and the only movie I am waiting for currently
    • Yellow – Coldplay
    • Bridge Over Troubled Water – Simon & Garfunkel

    Is it just me or does someone else also feel that S&G were the best lyricists till date in English music scene?

  • Links of the day

    First – this brilliant piece of Dilbert. It reflects what I have felt about IT security for a very long time. I am sorry guys, but you have a damn difficult job.

    Dilbert and IT

    Next. An interesting piece by the right-winged Hindutva defender Arvind Lavakre. Read the article, and it does put up some good questions.

    Finally. A place for all right-winged folks. Offstumped by Yossarian.

    Disclaimer: I do not condone the acts of Narendra Modi in Gujrat or those of Buddhadeb Bhattacharya in Nandigram.

  • Shit!

    Sachin has again missed the 42nd ton! The sixth time this year. What is he waiting for??

    Or maybe he is just not interested in centuries any more. But still, I am disappointed!

  • Back..

    .. from a Diwali vacation.

    However, in the mean time, I have configured Google Apps to work with my website and now you can mail me at blog[at]akgoyal[dot]com. Yay!
