Raat yeh bhi guzar jayegi

This too is a post from my deleted blog!

Sometimes certain songs just get into the head and keeps playing over and over in our minds... it can be highly irritating like the german song I learnt in class and just wouldnt leave my head " man nehme eier aus dem stall....." grrrr..
This other song just covered my heart with a melancholic wrap... the tune has a sadness to it but I wasn't very sure of the lyrics of this song, so after a google search I found out that quite a number of people have put down the lyrics to their blogs. SO why not I? here's the song.. its even more beautiful if you hear it..after all "our sweetest songs are those that tell of saddest thoughts" Shelley

EK Woh Din Bhi The..
Ek Yeh Din Bhi Hain..
Ek Woh Rat Thi..
Ek Yeh Raat Hain...

Raat Yeh Bhi Guzar Jayegi!!!!!
Raat Yeh Bhi Guzar Jayegi!!!!

Koi aata hai palko pe chalta hua
Ek aansoo sunhari sa jalta hua
Khwab bhuj jayege, rat rah jayegi
Rat yeh bhi guzar jayegi
Rat yeh bhi guzar jayegi

Waqt saalon ki dhund se nikal jayega
Tera chehra nazar se pighal jayega
Aankh band hogi to,neend aajayegi
Rat yeh bhi guzar jayegi
Rat yeh bhi guzar jayegi

EK Woh Din Bhi The..
Ek Yeh Din Bhi Hain..
Ek Woh Rat Thi..
Ek Yeh Raat Hain...

Raat Yeh Bhi Guzar Jayegi!!!!!
Raat Yeh Bhi Guzar Jayegi!!!!

-------Gulzar!
p.s. The song expresses one of the most unshakeable truths of life, no matter what, the past always has this effect on a person.

And when white moths were on the wing

The best thing about good movies are that no matter how many times you watch them there's always something new that you had not noticed the previous times. It's like peeling an onion only much more pleasant. This time it's The Bridges of Madison County : Robert and Francesca discuss Yates and a while later Francesca goes and pastes a note on the side of the bridge, I could never read what was written on the note because it fades away to quickly. This time I paused to read it, it had a quote from The Song of Wandering Aengus. Aengus is an Irish Mythic character and "probably a god of love, youth and poetic inspiration" and Robert Kincaid is of Irish descent. I think there was a connection made with that poetry and the story of Kincaid. He is an old man and finally found the woman he has dreamt of all his life, tired of all the wandering a being a "citizen of the world" he wants to settle down with this woman but he can't have her. It's a beautif

Benimadhab Benimadhab

Never in my worst nightmares have I ever imagined writing anything titled "Benimadhab Benimadhab". Bengalis who listen to modern bengali music must have already guessed what this could be about but I have a story to share. Didibhai used to listen to a lot of music, especially the radio back in the late 1990s. So naturally I had to listen to a lot of music she liked. She was the one to introduce me to all kinds of music that I associate my memories with. I never quite liked the bengali songs she would listen to. Anjan Dutta and Suman and Nachiketa, the cult music of the time. I was too young to appreciate it, I never understood what they were singing about. Today I can appreciate them even if they aren't my preferred choice of music and I believe not my didibhai's either. It has been more than a decade since Lopamudra's famous song Benimadhab aired for the first time on FM. Didibhai bought the cassette but I failed to understand why such a funny old-fashioned name

Many of us who live outside our motherlands study at universities abroad, mainly the USA and UK, and Germany is also a popular destination for engineers and Mathematicians. Very often than not we need a certificate of knowledge of English Language in the forms of TOEFL or IELTS to pursue education in these countries. I have never given much thought to this procedure as I understand that English is after all the 1st language in US and UK and it is their mother tongue. But recently while searching for programs in German Universities I realized that most courses are taught in German, therefore to study them you need certificate of knowledge of German Language and for the courses taught in English you need a TOEFL or IELTS certification; it suddenly struck me that we (especially Indians)do such injustice to ourselves India is one of the very few countries that has a very strong background of English language knowledge in spite of it not being OUR mother tongue. Some of us actually speak be
