The title is sef explanatory so I will dive right in. The first one is probably my all time favourite, my go to song when I am down.

1. Kaha Tak ye Man ko…. from Baaton Baaton me..

Next is another great song from a nice movie called Imtihaan. Apart from the song, the movie is very good and I like the way this song has been shot.

2. Ruk Jaana Nahi.. from Imtihaan

The next is a devotional type of song from an old hindi movie. I have loved this song since I was a child.

3. Ae Maalik tere bande Hum

The next song is in some ways quite similar to the one above.

4. Itni Shakti humein dena daata.. from Ankush.

I don’t know how many of you will agree with me on the next choice but it is most inspirational according to me..

5. Madhushala by Dr. Harivansh Rai Bacchhan.

Tell me which are your fav. ones…

“How happy is the blameless vestal’s lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d

If you live on the planet earth, chances are that you have seen Jim Carey in a goofball comedy making funny faces and you haven’t liked it. However, sometimes people can do  just one thing that n erases all their sins , past and future . For Carey, acting in the movie “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind ” was it.
If you were to only see one move about Happiness in Our Lives, the let it be this one. By the end of the movie, you will be a different person, I promise you.

जीवन की आपाधापी में कब वक़्त मिला
कुछ देर कहीं पर बैठ कभी यह सोच सकूँ
जो किया, कहा, माना उसमें क्या बुरा भला।

I normally dislike the  imagine-any-number-add-this-minus-this-blah-blah kind of games but today I came across a riddle that will blow your mind.  ( At least until you come to know the secret ). The riddle can be found at

http://www.regiftable.com/regiftingrobinpopup.html.

I know now how it works but if you manage to figure it out, do tell us and we will feature your name in our upcoming  Hall of Fame.

solar eclipse patna, originally uploaded by Scorius.

The whole world was looking towards Patna for the solar eclipse today but the Clouds played spoilsport.Despite that, I believe it was a spectacular event . I was sleeping so couldn’t see it.

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz,
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.
I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.
I love you straightforwardly, without complexities or pride;
so I love you because I know no other way

than this: where I does not exist, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.

Soonet XVII From: ‘Cien sonetos de amor’ by Pablo Neruda
