Walk alone..

The song from Bose - Ekla Cholo - with Sonu Nigam's voice is awesome. I found the meaning from the net. Its too good!

Judi tor daak shune keu naa ashay
tobe ekla cholo re
Ekla cholo ekla cholo ekla cholo re.

Judi keu katha na kore ore ore o abhaga
Judi shobai thake mukh firae shobai kore bhay
Tobe paran khule
O tui mukh fute tor moner kotha ekla bolo re

Judi shobai fire jay ore ore o abhaga
Judi gahan pathe jabar kale keu feere na chay
Tobe pather kanta
O tui rokto makha choron tole ekla dolo re

Judi alo na dhare ore ore o abhaga
Judi jharr badale ondhor rate duar deay ghare
Tobe bajranale
Apoon buker panjar jaliey nieye ekla jolo re.

Meaning:

If they answer not to thy call walk alone,

If they are afraid and cower mutely facing the wall,O thou of evil luck,open thy mind and speak out alone.

If they turn away, and desert you when crossing the wilderness,O thou of evil luck,trample the thorns under thy tread,and along the blood-lined track travel alone.

If they do not hold up the light when the night is troubled with storm,O thou of evil luck,with the thunder flame of pain ignite thy own heart and let it burn alone.

Bollywood

I am a big fan of Shah Rukh Khan's and I am eagerly waiting for his next film, having seen almost all of his latest films. The next one seems to be 'Paheli' produced by himself, and directed by Amol Palekar. I haven't seen any of Amol Palekar's previous movies, so I have no idea how this is going to be.

The website for the film is: http://www.pahelithefilm.com/

Shah Rukh looks real funny in the Rajasthani costume!!

Wodehouse Fever

The first I read of Wodehouse was 'The Innimitable Jeeves'. I don't like extremely goofy characters, and I did not exactly like Bertie.

Then I read the Blandings Castle series and immediately got addicted to Wodehouse stories. The best book of his that I have ever read is 'Something Fresh'. It was awesome. I wrote a review of that book for an Indian newsletter here, called 'The Drexel Desi'. Will paste my review here as soon as that is published.

There are a lot of P G Wodehouse ebooks at this site:
http://www.gutenberg.org/browse/authors/w - go all the way down to 'Wodehouse, P. G. (Pelham Grenville) (1881-1975)'

For a person unintroduced to his works yet, I would advice starting with 'Something Fresh' (U.S title - Something New').

Pottermania

I am so waiting for the 6th book to be released. I am anxious to know what is going to happen to Harry in his 6th year at Hogwarts.

Spoiler Warning: (for people who havent read any of the first 5 books)

I cried so much when I read how Sirius died in the 5th book. I mean he was the only one left for Harry, and now he's gone too. I have read the 5th book like 7 times, and have cried everytime when I get to that part.

I just hope something happens for Harry. I have a shrewd idea that Harry and Ginny are going to get together soon. I have a strong feeling, and have had it the moment I started reading the 5th book, even though it was proved false later in the book. It would be better if Harry and Ginny started seeing each other without the knowledge of Ron, his family, or even Hermione.

And I just wish Ron and Hermione get together too. I mean how long are they going to take to figure out whats going on between them?!!

Two characters that affected me were - Luna and Snape. My opinion of Snape has totally changed after I read the 5th book, and everybody who read it must be knowing why.. I hated Snape before, and now I can actually imagine how he must have felt all this while..

The first

The name for this blog just came to me when I was thinking of 'The Mask'. BTW I feel that Jim Carrey did a really great job of playing 'The Mask'. He rocks! I also liked 'Dumb and Dumber' - one of his funniest movies. I think he did a really good job in 'Ace Ventura - When Nature Calls'! He was awesome!

I enjoy singing, and I am a part of an acapella group called 'The Drexel Shor'. For more info, go to www.drexelshor.com. Our most recent show was on May 21st. We opened the concert for 'The Treblemakers'. I really enjoy singing, and I think I should take it more seriously.

We had fun yesterday. We were wearing desi clothes, and we went on stage in flashy silk salwars and kurtas, to reflect the colorful tradition of India. For the first time since I came to Drexel University, I felt a sense of accomplishment.
