Sarfaroshi ki tamanna New version

This song just said, what I am singing in my mind for 5 years now, just didn’t knew the right words

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJpAoUMEbWA

Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil me hai
Dekhna hai zor kitna bazu-e-kaatil me hai
Waqt aane de bataadenge tujhe e aasmaan
Hum abhi se kya batayen kya hamare dil me hai

Oh re Bismil kaash aate aaj tum Hindostaan
Dekhte ki mulk saara kya tashan, kya chill mein hai
Aaj ka launda yeh kehta hum to bismil thak gaye
Apni aazaadi to bhaiya laundiya ke til mein hai.

Aaj ke jalson me Bismil ek gunga gaa raha.
Aur behron ka wo rela naachta mehfil mein hai
Haath ki khadi banaane ka zamaana lad gaya
Aaj to chaddi bhi silti englison ki mill mein hai

Sarfaroshi ki tamanna ab hamare dil me hai…
….kya batayen kya hamare dil me hai

(from movie Gulaal by Piyush Mishra-actor-singer-writer)

Indian politics and twitter : Do you follow me?

twitter-promise of reason and indian politics

Do you know, what twitter is? Let us continue with our generic political education for Indian netizens. (if you know what twitter is then skip intro paragraph)

Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users’ updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 bytes in length. Very simple and minimal. And believe it or not – best tool for passing some quality time online (I know, you guys work so hard in your office :P ). Twitter is biggest phenomenon since google, having 2000% growth every week, don’t miss the bus. Read the rest of this entry »

5 updates from last week

Uttarakhand tour: I was unable to write something on my blog, I was unable to read newspaper regularly, I was …. yet I was very happy as I was on a tour of “Devbhoomi Uttarakhand” with my parents last week. Its name was uttarakhand initially, then changed to uttaranchal and again uttarakhand as it was the northern part of Uttar Pradesh. But I think they should have thought of some other local good name. Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya pradesh are very boring names. There are two parts in uttarakhand – Garhwal and Kumayun. Somebody suggested that we should merge Uttarakhand in Himachal as both states are very small and can benifit from a consolidated policy to improve tourism facility in region. Though we need a super highway connecting these two states. I liked the idea. What do you think? Read the rest of this entry »
