Closing Orkut

Answer to Sonal's blog post....

I dont know why I cannot forget anything.. and miss everything when those are not there..

Remember once when I was in Bangladesh, in front of the Parliament a small street girl of 7 - 8 years old presented me a beautiful rose. She was selling roses .. ten roses only 10 Taka. (Indian Rs. 8 equivalant on those days)

She came asked me "dada tumi ki hindustani?" (brother are you Indian?)

I said yes. Then she was so happy that she presented me a rose. I said I dont want to take.. she explained me that she always dreams of going to Kolkata. In her mind India is the most beautiful place to live. Said now as I called you my dada(brother), I want to give you this. Dont say No.

I had kept that rose along with my all other mementos received from different Bangladeshi dignitaries.

Last time when I had visited home found mom had cleaned the cupboard. and the dried rose was missing. Felt very sad...

Few days back ( i think 4-5 days from now) when I searched you in my friend's list did not find you. Understood that you have deactivated your account.

It is upto you. But some times those small scraps in orkut reminds me some stories related to me and many other people. Many times I have tried to close those accounts.. but could not..

Dhono dhanye pushpe bhora

Reminds me my childhood days.. I used to sing this song listening from radio.

Lyrics:

Dhono dhanne pushpe bhora
aamader ei boshundhora
Tahar maajhe aache je ek
Shokol desher shera.
She je shopno diye toiri she desh
Smriti diye ghera
Emon deshti kothau Khuje paabe nako tumi,
Shokol desher raani she je aamaar jonmobhoomi,
she je aamaar jonmobhoomi, she je aamaar jonmobhoomi"

dhonO dhanne pushpe bhorA AmAder ei boshundhorA
tAhAr Majhe Ache desh ek shokol dhesher sherA

emon deshti kothao khuje pAbe nAkO tumI
she je shokol desher rAnI she je AmAr jonmobhumI
she je AmAr jonmobhumi she je AmAr jonmobhumI

chondro shUrjO grohO tArA, kothay ujon emon dhArA

O mA tomAr choron dutI bokkhe AmAr dhorI

emon deshti.......

Where The Mind is Without Fear

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow

domestic walls;

Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the

dreary desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought

and action--

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake.

-- Rabindranath Tagore

Ghunghroo Toot Gaye by Pankaj Udhas

Just surfing in Youtube found this song.
What a beautiful song. And Pankaj Udhas is in his best in this..
Really loved this song so much that I tried to look for the Pankaj Udhas's version in you tube and I could listen to more than 30 versions of this song and many instrumentals
Though I did not find the version I was looking for, but please view this instrumental.. it is just wow..

Mohe Aayi Na Jug Se Laaj
Main Itna Zor Se Naachi Aaj, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye
Mohe Aayi Na Jug Se Laaj
Main Itna Zor Se Naachi Aaj, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye
Kuch Mujh Pe Naya Joban Bhi Tha
Kuch Pyaar Ka Paagalpan Bhi Tha
Ek Palak Meri Teer Bani
Ek Zulf Meri Zanzeer Bani
Liya Dil Saajan Ka Jeet
Liya Dil Saajan Ka Jeet
Vo Chede Payaliya Ne Geet
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye,
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye
Main Basi Thi Jiske Sapnon Mein
Vo Ginega Aub Mujhe Apnon Mein
Kehti Hai Meri Har Ungdayi
Main Piya Ki Need Chura Layi
Main Ban Ke Gayi Thi Chor
Main Ban Ke Gayi Thi Chor
Ki Meri Paayal Thi Kamzor
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye,
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye
Dharti Pe Na Mere Pair Lage
Bin Piya Mujhe Sub Gair Lage
Mujhe Ang Mile Armanon Ke
Mujhe Pankh Mile Parvanon Ke
Jub Mila Piya Ka Gaon
Jub Mila Piya Ka Gaon
To Aisa Latchka Mera Paon
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye,
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye
Mohe Aayi Na Jug Se Laaj
Main Itna Zor Se Naachi Aaj, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye, Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye,
Ki Ghungroo Toot Gaye

A song for my marriage video :D

This was one of my favorite songs during my college days and it is today too...
What is so special about this song?
It was i think 1994 i had been to a music store to select few songs to give for recording in to a cassette.
There I found one other fellow browsing through all the list of romantic songs to put in his marriage video. His marriage had happened on a full moon day and wanted to select some special song which has moon a and all that. But was not finding one ..

Some how I suggested this song and he really liked this song.

That inspired me so much that I also decided in my marriage video I will also put this song.. hahaha..

I am not sure if this movie was ever relesed.. :( but a really nice song.

Luck

He worked by day
And toiled by night.

He gave up play
And some delight.

Dry books he read,
New things to learn.

And forged ahead,
Success to earn.

He plodded on with
Faith and pluck;

And when he won,
Men called it luck

I wish

I know what i wish today is very difficult achieve. But yes I wish this. I know this will make me very happy than any other thing.

I wish..
1. To be very busy that i dont have time for any one else. Just me , me and me..
2. I wish to spend all my free just in studying micro controllers, Operating System, Algebra which I have forgotten, algorithms, experimenting on many new things, related to sensors and Aircraft.
3. The other thing I want to do is shooting. shoot shoot and shoot.
4. While doing other things I want to listen to some instrumentals.
5. Weekly once / twice I want to prepare some good food for myself.
6. I want to go for a long drive once in a week for 4 hours.

I think this much should make me happy..

Did I ask some thing more?
