kailash Kher In infosys

Kailash kher, Allah ke Bande famed Singer with teri diwani songs to his name , Kailaasa was in infosys with his band. Before i start with his performance , let me tell something about this sufi hindi mix mast singer. The movies in which he has sung songs are :
1971 (2007), Aap Ki Khatir (2006), Alag (2006), Andaaz (2003), Anjaan (2006), Baabul (2006), Baaz - A Bird In Danger (2003), Chain Kulii Ki Main Kulii (2007), Chocolate (2005), Classic - Dance Of Love (2005), Corporate (2006), Deewaar (2004), Delhi Heights (2007), Dev (2004), Dil Se Poochh Kidhar Jana Hai (2006), Dosti (2005), Ek Ajnabi (2005), Fanaa (2006), Hanuman (2005), Jaana - Let's Fall In Love (2006), Kaal (2005),

May Be i have missed some movies , these were i remember. Then there are his private albums which are better than the best.
His albums are Aawargi,Kailasa,Kailasa Jhoomo Re, Sufi Simplified-, Ya Rabba .

So this was Kailash Kher For you.
Now he came to infosys Audi right on time, just like a S/W engg is expected to be for an event in Infosys named as Finnacle Fever . Even after his band came and settled for placed , it took some time for the master to come out.
I have attended many concerts like this of Palash , Sukhwinder , Aryns, Sonu Nigam , KK to name a few, and i was expecting this to be better than that of sukhwinder , which was no doubt the best of them all. and he started with energy of universe in voice of youth. And all tuned in to Bham bhabham bham Bham bhabham bham bam lehri .... and then scooping it up with teri diwani ... but then he lost the tune. The music was better than the best , and Kailaasa was promoting his next album .. On one hand he talks about his concerts in UK , US and worldwide , and the hypocrate on the other hand requests you not to go abroad.
Heres how he finishes the show ...
I have a request from all infosys people , India is best (cheers from croud) ....
Kailasa : please let me finish ( in angry tone)
Crowd : Cheer once more
Kailasa : Please dont go to foreign .. let the foreigners come here . i have sincere request , please dont go to United States.
----
why is it we always will advise others to stay in India , when we ourselves with tongues out will go to US for concerts and jobs.
The show was ended with Title Track of Mangal Pandey , i would have preferred a more dance track , as we all were there for masti. If we had gone ONLY to hear himm ,and not enjoy the same , Infosys has best music systems for us to enjoy.
For the show must be rated by someone as 3/5 , but for me who had such high expectations was left with nothing to console.
i will rate it below that.

JigSaw My Life

Have You Ever Played Jig Saw Puzzle , if no probably this junk collection of few words is not for you. This is how we go about playing a puzzle, take the pieces and try to keep them back in places. But how do we go about joining broken pieces of an abstract life. When You yourself become so dis-illusioned that you weave out a face from an abstract painting. When you Cry but dont know is it because of bright future or contrasting past, or the way present times are crushing you. Here is me , at threshold of my last days in Bangalore, still thinking what is it This City has given me more than any other. I made a few new friends, some of them will bond with me till i am alive, some have lost the track in current city. first time i refused an ongoing relationship , and nth time a a girl saying no to thing i never said. Well Bangalore for me is a puzzle , in which i had a very cherished birthday , topped with the people present. I jusy hope one thing , i wud have left Bangalore before 31st August. That day has left me with nothing. What happened for next 3 weeks was nothing but lost and lost friends. As i was lost in middle of nothing, nursing an injury to myself. With no one around , and THE ONLY FRIEND , i considered to become one of my closest friends ever was gone. It was like " we came so close that we became so far" .
Suddenly this happy go merry city became a devil , and only 1 , single person was able to find me absent minded in most laughs. Friends become busy with work , and dont appreciate the help. I just dont want anyone to be in a sitaution, when u help a person with all you can , and next moment the person is gone.
God Forbid , i confess to have a big bigger and biggest crush of my life in Bangalore , and yes i dreamt. Is it unfair , No way. All can dream , unfair is when u want it to come true at any cost.
i wanted to pen this for so long , but didnt find the strength. Please remember i am all by strengths of my friends , and please even if find me a bit irritating at time , just dont hate me.

One of my friends started hating me , and to that friend , i am SORRY. Its a failure on my part to be one , and i will repent. Obviously I had a mistake , i shall be punished. But when alone , and when u want to talk , i am still there with my ears open as wide , and ready to take the scolding when u did not get the justified piece of cake in suceess.
But one thing i learned , never make some one your everything , because when they are gone you are left with nothing.

But this is not the type of post i am supposed to write, for all my friends, it was just a piece of fiction, and for those who know me , its still a fiction piece.

The pain is fun , only thing is it sometimes becomes sticky and messy , with eyes gallowing red , and pain turning hot cooled by the rain in eyes.


Now i am travelling to Pune finally on 29th Sept , but only 1 thing i wanna ask God ... Why always Me ... why always 31st ... why is it u made me this way , y is it u made my heart like a stone , y is it that it does not pain despite many heart breaks. .. still y this stone heart never told how deeply i like her .. y is it never said to most beautiful girl , i like u ... y is it it is going far far from her ... y is it the reason for me to be happy in bangalore is lost. .. y is it a thousand friends can make me smile from heart , and why is it even after deleting her number from my mobile i remember her , y is it after deleting contact from outlook , i still remember her id , y is it I still look in her scrap book with different profiles ... y is it i am hated by none by her .. y is it I still wait for her to come along ... y is it u r still reading this junk piece and not laughing yr stomachs out ...
i have been known to be like that , and nothing on me shud be serious , so why should this article be an exception.
But one thing , my jig saw will be complete the day the most beautiful girl i ever saw comes back in my life , may be not as a lover , may be as a gf , and as a true friend , i always saw her as.

dangerous falls


The Great Falls ....


These hogennakal falls have been second good falls i have seen in south India. Suchipara falls in Wayand had the distinct distinction of being the best falls in The place. But Kempty Falls are the best. Well , this was second time i was viewing a waterfall from top of the waterfall, and not from the bottom where is real beauty is encountered. In the pic below , Sameer ( in red ) is sitting on edge of rock balancing miraculously on the wet rock. The water we see just by our side is very very deep , and this is no doubt the most dangerous waterfall in India or Asia .


And below are all happy faces , after the Chunchi falls episode when there was not a blade of rain. but here there was water , and deep deep water . and all were so happy to be a part of the same. And we had to travel a lotta distance on foot also.

Hogenakkal Falls

Water Water EveryWhere , and The Boards did Shrink ,
Water Water Everywhere ,and Not a Drop to Drink.
This is how i can best explain the Falls , far from shore and moving to the other part in the most primitive boats those existed. The Round circular wooden boat coated with charcoal on the other side, was means of transport for two sides of falls we saw. The First Pic is of water which the person rowing the boat claimed to be 30-50 feet , which we doubt was deeper.

Below is the first phase of trip , when we just sat down and had a cool time. We were adjusted to most primitive boat in some calculations to balance the boat and we were off in the boat. Dwindling and shifting , and wach time Fateh would shift , wud leave the navigator tense , and finally Fateh put his head back in comforting posture.


This is commercialisation , shops on the boat. from Fanta to Chips to biscuits u just name it , and they have it. And in middle of river , thinking of sea pirates , and there is no way u can escape, for land in sight was too far. And then this person came and tried to do his business, but sorry we had snacks with us ...



Can you See the Shop Boat , but can u C anyone navigating it ... seems Jack Sparrow from POC is driving it ...

And finally another shopper's Stop , though i dont prefer to use that name , cauz it has deep memories in bangalore , not mine .. no no ..

hogenakkal falls




This time We Decided to go to the falls taking our time. So here were five of us going to party , and believe me , its a really awsome place to be. It all started with pledge previous night to get up early for trip , but its Sunday guys , and who cares... and it was already 730 when somebody woke up. chalo guys lets get ready for hogenakkal ... and there was a call from Fateh , we will be there in 10-15 minutes. At 830 ok , lets do it . By the time breakfast was ready, phone rang. Fateh forgot the path to the place. Chalo , then had to go and take him. He was angriest of lot , seeing me still in casuals... hehehee ... trick to send cab first to his place worked.
The Masti Starts -
Now in less than 20 min we are all ready , packed bags to the most dangerous waterfalls in asia, claiming more lives than any other fall in india. The Sumo started with Buzzzzz...... and off we were to a thrilling end to a roller coaster week , which saw some people moving out of life from behind the doors , some friends who never were .... and some people who will always be there.
Songs Played loudly , and Sumo rolled the roads like the bus in the song "We are going to Ibiza by venga boys" ... loud cheers , close calls , and bangalore traffic.
Kasam se The Driver was constantly honking , and even though we asked him a lot of times not to honk . I will this time start with photographs and tell some masti incidents ...

Raula Pai Gaya -- Daler Mehndi


The King is back , and is back with a bang. I happen to grab a copy of his latest album, and believe me ,its rocking ... From the song namo namo to title track .. all songs are too good. was thinking what the form he had when he was with magnasound is back.

Here is one my fav track lyrics ....

namo namo ... namo namo .... 2
namo vishwakerta , namo vighanharta,
namo shantakaram,namo devkaram
namo vishwakerta , namo vighanharta,
namo shantakaram,namo devkaram ,
yeh dharti yeh amber yeh dariya samander yeh dilkash nazare ,
sabhi hai tumhare ... namo namo ... namo namo ...

yeh chalti hawayein , mehekti dishayein,
yeh saanson ki hulchal , kehti hai pal pal ,
yeh chalti hawayein , mehekti dishayein,
yeh saanson ki hulchal , kehti hai pal pal ,
tu nityam , anupam sada satyadivyam , mano premrupam namo vishwaroopam,
namo namo ...

tu hi sabse afsal , tu sabse aala ,
tere hi dum se jahaan mein ujaala
zameen o falak , chand suraj sitare , her ek zare mein jalwe tumhare ...
namo namo namo ...

mahakaal kaale , digambar nirale ,
dig dig bhramta , anandi ananata ,
mahakaal kaale , digambar nirale ,
dig dig bhramta , anandi ananata ,
namo shrasti roopam , namo vhrasti roopam, namo jal swaroopam, namo vraksh roopam ,
namo namo ...


And believe me it took me 2 times over to hear and type it :)

Bike Lift

Today was something different in air. A freshness , something seemed in air ... and there was me .. on roads of Bangalore. The Climate as always cool , and music banging loudly in my ears , and Boomanhalli junction fully freee .. not a single jam ... and there i saw on junction , an infoscion standing alone. And i dont know what happened , offered her a lift. Obviously she didnt look into my face, and my I-Card was more than sufficient for her to sit on bike. And after that incident that happened last Friday, today i drove with utmost care, though zig-zag is now a way of life. The bike reached 100 and the girl pressed my shoulders, as i slowed down. Then we ended up in Infosys, she said thanks , and i welcome. She never saw my face , and i have a bleak memory of the same. But in many ways , it was lady luck in the morning , which will guide the rest of the day :)

Hey Babby - hell of a movie

Technorati Profile

Last night i went to see Hey babby with my room mate, and Akshay Kumar , Booman irani and such a star cast, i thought this will be a good one. The movie started like jet rocket . Too Funny , too good... the baby came , they loved it , they hated it .. but then all of a sudden , it lost interest. Became too predictable. Jokes old ones, Comic timings missing. I would have thought of akshay with sunil shetty and rajpal yadav as ideal starcast. The movie is worth seeing on a rented VCD or borrowed from a friend ( if someone is really so fool to buy ), but then there were some real good hilarious scene.
Like one in which Fardeen is driving at tortoise pace, and one in starting when Angel comes ... thats it . All good scenes of movie were shown in promo / trailers and there is not an additional extra scene to be watched on the hall
Please dont ask me to write about vidya balan , the most pathetic overacting in the movie is done by her. Her looks resembles that of Rani Mukherjee, but changing clothes wont get u an attitude and acting like Rani .. I saw her , and saw Rani in her , and what an insult. Vidya who has acted so so well in so many movies, was like fardeen acting in "Prem Agan".
Booman and Akshay were totally wasted in the movie, real talent lost.
I will gladfully rate the movie as 2.5/5 , and Sajid should be happy. i considered 2/5 , but 0.25 for akshay and 0.25 for SRK extra ...
makes it 2.5/5

Wanna Show Colour To the Blind

Wanna show the colors to the blind ,
With the agony and misery in the world he may find,
The deep colors of blood so red he might say ,
The prosperity and growth lost in the industrial age ,
And flying golden fields so yellow he might say ,
When the people struggled and lived in peace,
With oceans so dangerous make the sky blue he might say,
For the noise so harsh all around the ears he drop,
Look like the black color of his life he might say
And I wanna show the color to the blind.


The World will Change my friend so soon so stern,
For love showered on us will be Red so deep living is fun,
No more hunger deaths will bring back yellow as face of sun ,
And live in harmony like never before blue will be color of peace,
Noise turns into music as care will be showered and black is no longer black,
For One Day I will Show the Color to the Blind ,
And will I Show it the Way I like my Friends to see it …


Please Comment if u liked it or not :) ...
