Private Emotions

Every endless night has a dawning day
Every darkest sky has a shining ray
And it shines on you, baby can't you see
You're the only one, who can shine for me
It's a private emotion that fills you tonight
And a silence falls between us
As the shadows steal the light
And where ever you may find it
Where ever it may lead
Let your private emotion come to me
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me
When your soul is tired and your heart is weak
Do you think of love as a one way street
Well it runs both ways, open up your eyes
Can't you see me here, how can you deny
It's a private emotion that fills you tonight
And a silence falls between us
As the shadows steal the light
And where ever you may find it
Where ever it may lead
Let your private emotion come to me
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me
Every endless night has a dawning day
Every darkest sky has a shining ray
It takes a lot to laugh as your tears go by
But you can find me here till your tears run dry
It's a private emotion that fills you tonight
And a silence falls between us
As the shadows steal the light
And where ever you may find it
Where ever it may lead
Let your private emotion come to me
Let your private emotion come to me
Let your private emotion come to me
Come to me
Come to me

Get Ready for the Grand Finale !!!

That's wht this part of the series tells us. Yes, and what a way to tell that. Its a stunning combination of dazling special effects and human touch. So thrilling it is. when Harry casts his first spell in very first scene. I got goosebumps all over.

Sound effects are Thumping.
Acting is always a treat in the series.


I ran into tears several times. Once when in climax, Harry lying on the floor struggling with Voldemart. Simply Moving.
All in all a great one to set the ground for grand finale of the series !!

Life in a Metro........I'm Back

i have been so much stressed and busy this whole year to write something. Also my blogger account was lost due to NEW blogger service. anyways....today also i dont have a new draft. but a review which i have written a month ago. of movie Metro. Hope you will enjoy it.


Make way, chopras and johars, Bhatts are here….
I m not a big fan of them, but they are doing exceptionally well since last some movies. Giving damn cool music and amazing movies.
Heard Metro soundtrack?

NO!!!!
Just see the movie.
Its LITERALLY ROCKING.
Whole movie is carried forward by rock artists. They runs and directs story at different stages of the movie. This concept is really appreciable. Band comes and goes with songs. Sometimes singer james looks weird, but its okay.

Ok then,
Talking about the movie,
Starts of really well. With scenes of rainy Mumbai. Local trains buses, crowds, churchgate. And there she is, shilpa shetty, hey there is kangna ranaut too. Man this girl I tell u, she's simply superb. I just love her. Anyways, one by one all characters are weaved in just one scene. Then shilpa and kay kay 's scene is there. Then comes rock, Rishtey to nahi. With band metro.
Ohhhh god. This is what I wanted to hear. Rock on big screen.
All songs are simply rock. Then comes In dino, And then Alvida……..oh we love you mr.bhatt for bringing some rock to bollywood.
Songs are really into the movie, they keep story going on track. And deep into the story.
Everytime a song starts I get goosebumps. Ohhhhh..


Ya one thing is there, I am not going to tell u about characters and story because I hate it, if I tell u all, you will have nothing to watch. So go and watch movie, OTHERWISE YOU WILL REGRET.
It's a must watch.

Ok.
Now, sharman joshi and kangna share a difficult relationship. So are all other characters. Shiney ahuja, konkona sen and irrfan khan, kay kay , all.
But so sweet surprise package of movie is dharamendra and nafisa ali.
A very sweet scene in starting of movie when dharamji crosses railway tracks to meet nafisa. Then they meet after 40 years, ohhhhhhhhhh…soooooooo sweet………

Shilpa shetty is really commendable. She and her face expressions. Her body, everything talks. All confrontation scenes between her and kay kay are too good to watch out for. So is kay kay as her husband.
Sharman joshi, a silent lover, kangna a little girl who thinks lust of her boss is love, and repeats roles or gangster, and woh lamhe, frustrated girl. She is the best at it. But beware kangna, don't keep repeating.

Who steals the show?
Konkona and irrfan. In their strangest relationship. But still likable. One of the highlight scene of the movie when the go to top of a building and shouts……oh god…we just keep laughing and our eyes keep crying.

Really good dialogues, I wish I could write some of them, I have to watch the movie again. Light moments with irrfan and konkona and sharmaan are also very good.

Cinematography is just too brilliant like we are sitting in a mumbaiya window and watching everything come alive. In one scene, while shilpa and shiney are going to make out, there is no light in the room. The whole scene is performed under lights of neon, outside the building. And symbolic red color. Oh, too brilliant.

One other scene keeps repeating in mind, is make out place of kangna and kay kay……..with busy Mumbai road outside the window.
Lights and lights….they do the works.
Some silent scenes….kangna removing her leg which is touching kay kay, when she hears conversation between kay kay and shilpa on phone….so symbolic.
In climax, confrontation between kay kay and shilpa…………..
Sharman's scenes………
Top of the building scene……..
Climax……..
Local trains………
Dharmendra and nafisa……….
Seamless weaving of characters and stories……………..
Songs……….
Alvida alvida………….


Anurag basu, the director,
One of the best in new crop.

I bow to thee.

One of the best movie in 2007

Happy Friendship Day

When to the session of sweet silent thought

I summon up remembrance of things past,

I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,

And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:

Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,

For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,

And weep afresh love's long since cancelled woe,

And moan the expense of many a vanish¹d sight:

Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,

And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er

The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,

Which I new pay as if not paid before.

But if the while I think on thee, dear friend,

All losses are restored and sorrows end.

- William Shakespeare

When to the session of sweet silent thought
I summon up remembrance of things past,
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought,
And with old woes new wail my dear time's waste:
Then can I drown an eye, unused to flow,
For precious friends hid in death's dateless night,
And weep afresh love's long since cancelled woe,
And moan the expense of many a vanish¹d sight:
Then can I grieve at grievances foregone,
And heavily from woe to woe tell o'er
The sad account of fore-bemoaned moan,
Which I new pay as if not paid before.
But if the while
I think on thee, dear friend,
All losses are restored and sorrows end.
- William Shakespeare

Could we but draw back the curtain,
That surrounds each others lives,
See the naked heart and spirit;
Know what spur the action gives;
Often we would find it better,
Purer then we think we would.
We would love each other better,
If we only understood.
- Unknown

There's lots of thingsWith which I'm blessed,
My problems have been few,
But of all, this one's the best:
To have a friend like you.
In times of troubleFriends will say,
"Just ask, I'll help you through it."
But you don't wait for me to ask,
You just get up and do it!
And I can thinkof nothing more
That I could wisely do,Than know a friend,
And be a friend,
And have a friend like you.
- Unknown

I shot an arrow into the air,It fell to earth,
I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,It fell to earth,
I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?
Long, long afterward, in an oakI found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.
- H. W. Longfellow

A day to remember, A day to ROCK (Euphoria Concert)

‘’Duniya parai chhod ke aaja…joothe saare naate tod ke aajaa..
sau rab di tujhe, ek wari aaja…ab ke mile to honge na juda…………’

Gosh ! I still can’t believe that I’ve been there and heard that ‘’LIVE’’. Palash was standing just 15 feet away from me. And he was simply ROCKING. A Euphoric song on euphoric day by none other than EUPHORIA. Yes, I’ve heard them LIVE. And that is all because of Nirmal [dear friend & colleague], I really wanna thank him. He has got only one pass of this event and has given it to me. Thanks a lot Neel……. This is a lifetime cherishable thing because of u. secondly I will thank dearest Bhaggu [God] cause he listened to my prays and unbelieveably it was a totally dry Monsoon day. It wa heavy rain on Thursday night and Saturday night was so beautiful and dry. Thank you Bhaggu.

So talking about the show, it was on 1st of July, 7:00pm. As usual [I do it in all movie shows] I reached 45 Minutes ago. At 18:15 there were only organizers. Then it was hard for me to pass the time. I was so eager to meet Euphoria. Cause they are my most admired, most favourite most….Band in indipop scene. They touches emotionally deep into me. I’m following Palash [lead singer] since his first album. I do scream and sing like him many times. Then this was a day for me to SCREAM along with HIM and whole group. I always wanted to sing his songs as LOUDEST as I can. This was the day. And I did it. I sang all songs loud & LOUD.

So … ya.. I was waiting for 7pm. Oh ….gates got opened. I rushed in and saw……..NO CHAIRS….????!!!!! But hey after all this was a ‘’rock show’’ I thought. So it will be gr8 to stand up & dance [which I hardly can].

There I was, in front of Euphoric stage. I had never seen such thing earlier. [all systems and lights wre brought by the group itself. So u can imagine how awesome it would be] I got a nearest place to stand and stuck with that. Suddenly speakers started to scream. Some DJ stuff u know. It was okay. But Oh god………I got goosebumps when they roared ‘’Ya ali!!’’……..ooooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhh…people were like roaring, screaming. Awesome sound. Awesome lighting. They were trying them both. We waited. Nothing came up. Two couples got in front of me were good. [especially girls]. They looked good at music. So I got company. We waited but no one came up the stage. At last we got down on the lawns.

At around 19:40 a perizaad zorabian lookalike hostess greeted us. All of us were like ‘’ooohhh…yea…….ooo..’’. then she introduced Apernit Singh-India’s fastest guitarist. [!!!] here he comes. A Jal’s lead singer lookalike. With great lighting he came and striked the chords with ‘’woh lamhe’’ [original]. Awesome start. I thought. Really his vocals were also good. Then he played ‘sare jahan se achha’. Oh yeah, I got goosebumps all over again. The he played some of his own stuff. Some 2 sons. They were good. Then played filmi ones. But his show off tunes…[fastest chords] were boaring at places. After half an hour at 20:10 he thank all of us. And I thought Yeah…time has come.

But hey, not yet. Somebody came up running and told something to Guitarist and he started a new track. A track of mimicry. My heartbeats were increasing. I thought Euphoria is not coming now. And thought they will come late and will swipe it up in one hour. [but hey they ROCKED for 3 whole hours without Interval!!!]

So after 5 minutes, Apernit has gone. Hostess cameup. Spoke blah…blah……..blah…….and it was a moment. I’ve been waiting for. Yes it was. All dark stage, lighten up a little. Like a sunrise. There they were…..Benny on keyboard…..DJ on bass guitar….Hitesh on guitar….Gary on drums……. Rakesh and Prashant on Tablas…….. hen a heavy voice of Palash came………’Vakratund Mahakaya…..’’ andy hey…………………………… there he was……………came as always………..with full energy…………running on stage…….Palash Sen – the lead singer. I was looking at them like never before I ‘ve seen them. I always wanted to see this moment. There they were. In front of me. I was watching like a dream. A hard ROCK number they were playing ‘jeetnge sadaa.’ Palash rocked the stage. Jumping. People were all jumping and screaming. Then palash suddenly changed song to ‘Dhirkta dhirk dirkitidha…’ ‘ aage aage ab na thehre’’….rok sako to rok lo…..’’. Oh god, AWESOME, GREAT, �he waved a flying kiss also in his own regular style…….to us…..ROCKING…EUPHORIC…AMAZING..He rocked again and again and again. [Through whole show.]

Then he welcome us. Kem chho…and all that & asked us� [audience like me who were not a VIP pass holder and standing on ground] ‘’is there any problem standing?’ we said ‘no…….’ He asked ‘ladke ladkiyon ko galat jagah haath to nahin laga rahi??”’ we said ‘’no’’… he then shooted ‘ladkiyan to kahi ladkno ko pareshan nahi kar rahi??’’ We were all laughing and shouting ‘no’. then he asked� ‘ kyun nahi kar rahi???!!!’’

Then all started screaming ‘’dhoom pichuk dhoom’’ So he started..tht� great hit. All of us screamed with him. Sang with him. After first part of the song… he changed and sang ‘’kaise bhulegi mera naam’. And after unusual note, again started ‘dhoom’ again. Oh, it was so amazing. It was ROCK. It really was.
Then he changed mood and started my MOST FAVORITE …’TUM’ oh..divine music. He told us to hold our mobiles with klight on and wave them into air. With music. And started singing. My my………..it was watchable site. Really….’’sanson me jo …….meri baaton me jo who ho tum………..All of us were singing……
Then he went on with Summer of 69, its my life.., Dil chahta hain [audience was singing..ooo…oo ,…oo in that song’’] All were amazing. Hitesh on guitar was really Great. All were stunned by him. Amazingly ‘amdavadi’ people were asking for & singing ‘summer of 69’. I felt great that in gujarat, this kind of music is becoming so popular.
Then Palash sang Soniya….and title song ‘Mehfuz’ from the same album. Rocking, ROCKING, ROCKING. What can say?

Ya there was some fuss about the partition between VIP and our area. There was a grill….but people were pushing it to break the borders. Soon police came and all was well.

Now it was time for Nirvana. Yes , there was ‘Maaeri….’. ……………………………………………………………….No words…….this song is so special to me. I was so deep. I can forget the world around. While listening to it. Screaming along. I wished this could go on and on and on and on.

Then he sang ‘kabhi aana tu meri gully..’ and ‘mantra’ . peppy sweet song and another was a rock one. He lived them both. And then he said thanks a lot and all that stuff to Ahmedabad. At 10 pm. We thought OH NO……….IT IS OVER………but soon he brought life to us by saying….’hey its not over yet………& started a Medley of songs……….dance numbers. He started REAL ROCK� and told people to raise hands & clap like we did in school gosh he sang ROCK ANTHEM…..’We will we will rock you…’ [amazingly all of us were singing it] ROCKING EXPERIENCE. Then he sang an Elvis number, summer of 69 [bhangra mix], kajarare, its my life, sharabi, and many more in line. Great fun we had in Om shanty Om. Whole ground was singing the song. SWEATING, DANCING, PUSHING, ENJOYING. THIS IS CALLED A EUPHORIA.

And then Palash took a pause. And said how great love he has got about 1.5 year ago when he came here and meanwhile some people from IIPM were screaming ‘Ab na jaa’. I also joined and scream the same. Palash then said ‘ I’ve got 37 emails requesting for the song ‘ab naa jaa’’ Great lighting Man. Soothing song. Everything was moving along. The performance was superior. Then he suddenly started medley of their songs. Dhoom, Kaise bhoolegi, Mantra,…….all of them……..also duma dum mast kalandar………dil se……….and many more……….including a parody of ZALAK DIKHLA JA……..WITH HANDS ON NOSE……………..FUN……….

MAN so energetic he is. And his colleagues. Mind blowing./ >From tables to drums…….from keyboard to guitars…….everything was rocking. Again he started ‘’SONIYA’’ From his latest album……………..and rocked much more………..LOUDER………….

Faster and faster…….and faster……………

I knew then……this was an end to Fabulous journey…….People were jumping and sweating……..panting…….screaming………enjoying……….

There comes an end………11pm…………3 hours long journey……amazing and EUPHORIC……..
EUPHORIA rocked that night…like they rocked the nation with their songs…

Really really a night to remember………always…….
In my life…..i will always remember……..that there was a night like this……….forever……..

I returned by bike …..at 11:15 pm with bad throat and STILL singing…….all songs again on bike….on the road……………………………………………………………………………………………



‘’Maaeriiiiiiiiii………………………..’’
