Tuhje Dekha...


Tujhe Dekha,

Fir Koi Tujhsa Naa Dekha...

Thoda Jiya,

Sang Tere Par Umda Jiya...

Tera Hua,

Mohabbat Main Dil Tera Hua...

Kam Thi,

Lekin Wafa Teri Kam Thi....

Jo Meri Naa Ho Saki,

Dil Se Dil Jod Naa Saki...

One more.... pls

Wafa Ka Yeh Tune, Mere Kaisa Sila diya
Anjaam Dil Lagane ka, Kyun Bura diya?

Wajah koi teri is be-wafaai ka?
Kambaqt Ruswai Ka Tujhe Koi Bahana Naa Mila

Ek Aisi Bana Shaksiyat...


वो तुझ में छुपी है कहीं
वो तू ही तो नहीं कहीं???
एक ऐसी बना शक्सियत
जो हो जग में सबसे हसीं

जो भीड़ में भी हो तेरी
अनेकों में भी हो अनोखी

एक ऐसी बना शक्सियत

जो मिसाल बने सबकी

पाने पर जिसके कोई चाह ना रहे
उसे महफूज़ रखना ही एक काम रहे

एक ऐसी बना शक्सियत

जो और किसी के पास न रहे

एक ऐसी बना शक्सियत... राजेश राजगोर

Nokia's Leadership Challenged!


It was not long time ago when Nokia was undisputed market leader in cellphones. But over a period of time when products like Sony, Samsung, Virgin and others entered the market, the competition became stiff for all cellphone companies.

However, it became relatively easier for others to gain new customers as Nokia began to lose its hard-gained reputation, with its own carelessness.

Nokia handsets are now increasingly showing defaults. This is clear form the lines you see at the Nokia Care Centres. Also they, despite good efforts, lack in after sales services.

Take the E.g. of Nokia 5310 handset. I bought this piece in august 2008 and within 2 months of use the piece started showing sign of fault. After twice giving it to the Care Centre, they were unable to solve the issue of it getting frequent hang and switch off.

This has really disappointed me and I am sure that there are several others like me, who would have gone through such difficulty after spending huge!

Now, I have given the handset for the 3rd and final time to the care centre, lets hope, Nokia saves its brand name, or else there are sevral companies out in the market to challenge Nokia's Leadership!

'History repeats Itself!'


Some one has very rightly said, that history repeats itself, and when history is good enough who would not like it to be repeated. When Abhijeet Sawant became the winner of 1st Indian Idol the whole nation was crazy about him. He almost instantly rose to fame and super stardom after winning the title and Rs. 1 Crore.

He also went on to become the 1st runner-up in Jo Heeta Wohi Super Star on Star Plus. However, what Abhijeet Sawant couldnot do, to win both the titles of the game show, was splendidly done by the '
Gaanv Ka Chora' Ashutosh Kaushik.

Ashutosh 1st came to fame after winning the Mtv Roadies 5.0 and soon became the youth hero. However, He surpassed Abhijeet's record and became the only person in the Indian reality show history to win two titles of two leading game shows in one year!

There were several other reality shows between 1st Indian Idol and Bigg Boss 2, but what set Abhijeet and Ashutosh apart from them is that they were themselves on the show and that is what connected them to the masses, who felt that they are one of us.!

So both the incident show us the 'rags to riches' story and conveyed us that truth, simpicity are still the factors for anyone's success! Also strongly sustained was the belief, History repeats itself!

Dost'Ana'- 'Jana'! Do not Bother!


'Dostana' is a time pass film. Here I literally go by the word time pass. If you don't have something very exciting to do, go for this movie, do not plan your day specifically for this!

Hugely hyped for its gay theme, the film seriously have some special moment in the first half. Abhishek Bachchan and John Abhram gives you what you are there for, pure fun, with their funny antics. However your joy fades as soon as the love track begins.

Also unnecessary songs in the later half (as in Kal Ho Naa Ho) get on to your nerves. The romantic scenes between John and Priyanka are not at all romantic, instead it turns out be boring. When Abhisek tries wooing Priyanka, you pray better the gay angle comes back.

Bobby Deol as Priyanka's boss is mechanical (robot) He bores you even more.

Acting wise Priyanka Chopra is natural. She pulls out a decent act of a girl caught between two gay couples. John never acts, but his body does, his expressions are one and the same. Abhisek Bachchan is sheer delight! He carries his attitude well. However he too over does at few places.

Director seemed to have lost focus, whether to concentrate on gay couples, romance, or comedy and lands up giving a boring end!

Only good are the songs and the Miami locations. My favourite is 'Maa Daa laadla'!

So Dost'Ana'- 'Jana' - not worth for only 1 hour fun!

Badi Pyaari Hai Meri Tanhaai!



One of My shayris;

Badi Pyari Lagti hai Mujhko meri Tanhai
Ehsaas Dila Gai Teri Judaai

Dur Hui Thi Mujhse Meri Tanhaai..
Jab Zindagi Main Mere Tum karib aai..

Has Raha Tha main Sang Tumhare
Or chupke se ro rahi Thi Meri Tanhaai

Mano Keh rahi ho ro ke mujhko
Laut ke aana hai ek din Tujhko..

Din Haseen Guzar rahe they sang Tumhaare..
Or wahan Mano 'Guzar' gai Meri Tanhaai...

Fir wo Din aaya jab Leni padi tumse Bidaai..
Baahen Failaye Saamne Khadi Thi, wohi, Meri Tanhai..

Maano Keh rahi hai Mujhse, Jaanti hai wo Gum-e-Judaai
Aao Fir se Kar le Dil Se dil Ki Sagaai!

Badi Pyari hai meri Tanhaai (2)

'Kaun Bihari Kaun Marathi'???


While surfing through the archive section of a leading daily newspaper on internet, this news titled, Sachin, Dhoni at opening of cricket academy, hit my eyes. Yes, M.S. Dhoni and Sachin Tendulkar were star attractions for the inaugural function of the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation Vengsarkar cricket academy at Thergaon on October 24.

Now the news story behind the news which I managed to get, or say, observe is very much important and worth taking a note.

Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar, the cricketing God, is a Maharashtrian, but for all his life has been simply best to represent India globally through his game. On the other hand is Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a Bihari(North Indian) the emerging youth superstar of Indian Cricket. But when they are on field together in Indian team, do they distinguish themselves as Bihari or Marathi? No, coz they represent India, a soverign, secular, diverse, cultural,  yet united Nation. 

Again Mr. Vengsarkar, who organized this event is a Maharashtrian, but did he distinguish between the two??. No. Our diversity has made us an unique nation and we should use appropriate measures to maintain it. 

Through this article I beg all the readers to open up their brains and not to support politicians or leaders who try to divide India on regional, language or caste basis. By 2020 we want to be super power. If we fight amonst ourself we won't  be able to make a slightest progress. 

It's time for globalization, it's time for modern religion,  it's time for progress and  it's time for us to work together, where every one is equal and same, irrespective their caste.

JAI HIND!

'Swar'- My Inner Voice!


Every person on this earth has his/her 'inner-voice. The sound which is deep inside and erupts only when you give a proper hearing to it. It is 'Soul-Searching' it is you, your thoughts, you as an individual, who has been doomed all the while.

At times when we feel low or those unforgettable moments when we are let down, we seem to need some kind of emotional or mental support. We usually speak to our closest pal or our dearest family member during times of distress to ease the burden. At such times we get over the initial drizzle of emotional anxiety and mental restlessness, because of the pepping up by our empathic listener. We suddenly feel rejuvenated because our inner voice alerts us to get on with things and leave the things of past on the memory books of our brain.

It is what is there in our sub conscious mind. It is always right as it reflects our experience with facts which are true. It can be used to rejuvenate our fallen morale, can be used to be positive, can be utilized to forget things, can be used to search happiness, when the world out is gloomy.

It is what we really are. It is our mirror image. It is one that is with us, even before we learn to speak. It will be there always, just hear it. It is the 'Swar' which you always want to connect with. It is yours. Don't ignore it!

Golmaal hai bhai 'plot' main Golmaal hai! **1/2

For more movie reviews by me visit www.fridaytadka.com
All those who have seen Golmaal, would agree with this, that the reason behind the success was the togetherness of all the 4 characters of the movie. Although they played against each other, they were united till the end and are infact seen together form the beginning.

Golmaal returns fails here. You see no togetherness or care for each other to achieve something common.
Would you have loved Lage raho Munnabhai if circuit would have been in another gang? Or say would we have loved Phir hera Pheri If Raju, Babubhaiya and Shyam were seperated?? The answer is straight no.

No doubt the characters are well sketched but they lose the shine as soon as they are seperated.
Here Gopal is in trouble and his brother in law Lucky with his Junior Laxman(talpade) helps him get out of it. Then there is also Arshad( Madhav) who is behind Gopal( reason not cleared) to catch him in trouble and harassing him throughout.

So despite the characters being good, some punch lines being good, you feel missing on something. I dont understand why Rohit Shetty wasted money on expensive songs, instead he could have roped in writers who could have helped him with better plot/story.
All in all a waste of gem like characters in a weak script, which could have encashed if payed attention on better script.
