Entry no. 31 for 1two3ty1:
31 made with raisins π
With this 1two3ty1 comes to an end. π It was fun hunting for numbers and taking photos of them everyday. π Thanks for coming up with this one, Ranjhith! π
Check out this cover story on A.R.Rahman which features an interview with both Mrs. and Mr. Rahman. π As usual, thanks a ton to The A R Rahman Fan Club, I got to read this interview. Couldn’t resist posting this one here. π
Today evening’s bus journey made me do so much serious thinking that I am writing a third post on it! When I was in the midst of my serious thinking about life and memories, a group of 3-4 small kids laughing, giggling, waving their hands and shouting tata, Bye to all of us in the bus caught my attention. I smiled back in reply to their Byes when I experienced yet another what I call Swades moment (moments which makes you go through what Mohan Bhargav/Sharukh goes through in the scene in Swades where he buys the water from a poor boy selling it in the station and drinks it). Those kids, clad in torn clothes, were standing outside what were obviously their homes – small huts. A wave of questions passed through my mind – Imagine what we were doing when we were of the age of those kids. Will these kids go to school? Here I am enjoying myself, listening to music, sitting comfortably inside the bus. What about those kids? How will they manage to live in their houses when it’s raining heavily? Will they ever get to live in real homes? So many unanswered questions! Those kids unaware of any worry in life continued waving with innocent joy and happiness on their faces even as my mind tried seeking answers to these unanswered questions.
I guess I have done enough of serious thinking for a day. Don’t you agree? π
I typed the previous post as a message in my mobile while I was travelling by bus. After a long time, I listened to songs in my mobile today while travelling since I didn’t take any book with me. While I was typing that post, I wasn’t paying attention to the songs that were playing when a song that played caught my attention – A.R.Rahman’s Tum Ho Meri from Kabhi Na Kabhi – a song that suited my mood perfectly. I have no clue about what the lyrics were. It was the music that had me captivated. In fact, I am listening to that song properly for the first time only today. I wonder how Rahman manages to create music to suit every possible mood! It was yet another moment when I was moved by his music. The song matched my mood so well that I was listening to it non-stop till I got down from the bus. Rahman rocks! π
Nagmein Hain Shikwe Hain
Kisse Hain Baatein Hain
Baatein Bhool Jaati hain
Yaadein Yaad Aati Hain
Yeh Yaadein Kisi Dil-O-Jaanam Ke
Chale Jaane Ke Baad Aati Hain
Yaadein, Meethi Meethi Yaadein
Khatti Meethi Yaadein
