Movies i love- 1

I am not a great movie buff. I could not take my domain outside bollywood movies even after staying for 5 years in KGP. Here are some which i really like:-

1. Haasil - watch this one. for Irfan khan, by far his best performance. even better than maqbool.

and the story centres around hindi heartland , so rustic and raw.

Really a good watch.

2.Maine Pyar Kiya - Bhagyasree .....and salman khan. Sweet romantic and innocent.

3.Masoom - tujhse naraaj nahi jindagi. little jugal hasraj is the heart of the movie.

4.Chak de India - Best performance by shahrukh khan, was not in my like list once for his hamming, but as kabir khan, he underplayed his part so well. And i absolutely love the song - Maula mere le le eri jaan.

5.Swades - Another one from ashutosh , i found it much much better then the more famous LAGAAN.

To be continued......

Like old times

It has taken a lot of time to come back.

Today.

She is here. In the same Town. Almost 200m away.

Wow. yeh bhi hona tha??

Next two days are going to be a wait.

And the six months thenafter a lifetime.

Kisi ne sach hi kaha hai.............

Songs I am listening these days

1.Toh fir aao - Awarapan-A great song, my all time favorite. Has a haunting feel to it.

2.Iktara- Wake Up Sid - Punjabi Version - Tochi Raina `s vocals have a very raw quality about it, plus the lyrics are touching,

3.Tune jo na kaha - Newyork - have become a mohit chauhan fan, have been liking most of his songs. Actually have liked him since his dooba dooba days.

4.Teri Diwani- Kailash kher- this one is an old favorite.

5.Tum mile - unplugged- javed ali- very soothing and it grows each time you hear it.

6. Soniyo - Raaz- krishna- Krishna is another singer whom i admire a lot.

7. Maula mere le le meri jaan - Chak de india - Krishna- he does it again....krishna

8.Na batai tu - kailash kher- kailasa is a good band, i like most songs they make.

9.Yeh jo desh hai tera - swades - what a song....no words to describe

10. Masakkali - another one from mohit chauhan, i like the prelude a lot.

Am at my best when i a listening to music. And am trying to start listening to something other than Bollywood songs. Lets see when i finally be able to do that.

Blogs of the past from other blogs:dated sep 22,2005- best days of my life

------------ this was written four years back, but is true in flavour and meaning, even today: i love my life at IIT kharagpur, more so after i passed out, for i know that those were the best days of my life-------

"raah mein ruk kar , paon se ..katein nikalne walo
yeh guma hai agar, toh junun kamyab kya hoga?"

these are lines which are imprinted over the leaf of my heart..deep and clear. i remember the day when i was there, attending the farewell function of standard 10th, when my principal sir uttered those life changing lines. something struck me, something struck me slowly yet..surely. and then was the time....

move 5 yrs down the line, new people, new place, new circumstances....
do u really regret anything in life mr. AASHISH AGRAWAL?

WELL... i must be a nerd if i say YES.
for iit has given me more than that, more than the iit tag which i love so very much, more than even the alien status for the non-iitians( which i really hate)

it has given me a chance to see, love, hate, fight and live with...thirteen lives.

the idea was actually presented long time back by sachin...( so copyright ka ullanghan hai thoda)
but no other title suited me more.

and this is just teh first page i have written for my long story that titles ` thirteen lives`


chalna hai humein saath, aur hum chalenge
ki ruk jana hamari , suraj ki fitrat hai.
ujalo mein woh honge aur, jo rahein dhoondha karte hai
humein to andhero mein ai dost, safar karne ki aadat hai.

Blogs of the past from other blogs:dated sep 21,2005- the 13-

Taking a cue from sachin: thaught of bringing the other posts of past, in this one.Not finding anything great to write about, but trying to start the new year on a new note/tone:

Kal fir se exam hai ..sach bolta hoon main
Sujhe na koi kaam hai….sach bolta hoon main.


Aashu drenched, and recites the days…not long long ago…and people ..the same whom he has just been at aunties….and how they were…not long long ago.

Once upon a time.

I was 1-24 years of age and growing in age every year.
I was skinny ………and I was worried about it.
I was good at studies and I was happy about it.
I sang well and people liked my songs.
I wrote well and people liked my poems.
I was 56 kg of weight and was 5 feet 8 inches.
I felt bad when someone pronounced my name as ASHISH, but mostly they did.
I used my phone a lot, and talked to lots of people.
I used my comp a lot and surfed a lot on Hindi Movies.
I didn’t like English movies, nor did I like western Music.

And Now,

I am 25 years of age and still growing in age every year.
I am not skinny ………and am still worried about it.
I am not good at studies /nor at work and I am still happy about it.
I sing well (at least I think) but people don’t like my songs.
I haven’t written for some time now, for people to like my poems.
I am 68 kg of weight and am still 5 feet 8 inches.
I feel bad when someone pronounced my name as ASHISH, but mostly they do.
I use my phone a lot, but talk to very few.
I use my comp a lot and surfed a lot on Hindi Movies.
I like English movies at times (latest is the dark Knight), but I do not like western Music.




And in times to come

I don’t know what will become of me. I don’t know what I will make of this world.
The only things I am sure of are

I will love mom
I will love her
I will love myself.
Period

3.5 years

Do you remember something, she says?

I say, yeah I do.

What is the date today?

Ohh, this one line is so intriguing.

Well, for one I am a very forgetful person, and secondly it was a pretty bad day at work.

It's 20^th August. Ryte?

As I told this in my mind I was remembering all the possible things that might have happened on 20^th August ever in my life. All I could figure is that 5 days back it was Independence Day and the next holiday is on 3^rd September for ganesh Chaturthi.

Stupid, tumko kuchh yaad nahi rehta.

She was right, I must say. And I do not figure out ki how she remembers every inch of chronology that has happened in our lives. Does it mean I am less into details?

Arre, how can you say that, I gave you a surprise on all your birthdays, and I remember you, most importantly.I was now sounding very foolish.

Yeah ryte, but don't change the topic. What happened on 20^th August?

Kya hua tha?

20 august ko to nahi, 20 february ko kuchh hua tha, and …..ohh haan, usko abhi 6 months ho gaye .

SO what does that mean??

Right right, I know.

Its 3.5 years now that you first asked me out?

I asked you out??? Duffer…..tumne poocha tha if you remember?? And what is this asked me out thing? Sounds so cheap.

Cheap. Isme cheap kya hai? Okay let me reframe, 3.5 years of our togetherness

Now you got it. But You asked me out . Okay??

Haan bhai Okay!!!!

P:S: It has been three point five years of us being together and to say that it has been Okay would be defaming it. It has been a Beautiful Life, with her. Enchore.
