This one is my song! I love this song.

apanaa Gam leke kahii.n aur na jaayaa jaaye

ghar me.n bikharii huii chiizo.n ko sajaayaa jaaye

jin chiraaGo.n ko havaao.n kaa koii Khauf nahii.n

un chiraaGo.n ko havaao.n se bachaayaa jaaye

baag me.n jaane ke aadaab huaa karate hai.n

kisii titalii ko na phuulo.n se u.Daayaa jaaye

Khudakushii karane kii himmat nahii.n hotii sab me.n

aur kuchh din yuu.N hii auro.n ko sataayaa jaaye

ghar se masjid hai bahut duur chalo yuu.N kar le.n

kisii rote hue bachche ko ha.Nsaaya jaaye

Nida Fazli, she, as if writes what I always wanted to say...

garaj baras pyaasii dhartii par phir paanii de maulaa

chi.Diyo.n ko daanaa, bachcho.n ko gu.Dadhaanii de maulaa

do aur do kaa jo.D hameshaa chaar kahaa.N hotaa hai

soch samajhavaalo.n ko tho.Dii naadaanii de maulaa

phir roshan kar zahar kaa pyaalaa chamakaa naii saliibe.n

jhuuTho.n kii duniyaa me.n sach ko taabaanii de maulaa
[saliibe.n=Christian cross; taabaanii - brightness]

phir muurat se baahar aakar chaaro.n or bikhar jaa

phir ma.ndir ko koii miiraa diivaanii de maulaa

tere hote koii kisii kii jaan kaa dushman kyo.n ho

jiinevaalo.n ko marane kii aasaanii de maulaa

Koi Fariyad Tere Dil Me Dabi Ho Jaise

Koi Fariyad Tere Dil Me Dabi Ho Jese,

Tune Aankho Se Koi Bat Kahi Ho Jese

Jagate Jagate Ek Umar kati Ho Jese

Jaan Baki He Magar Sans Ruki Ho Jese

Janta Hoon Vese Aap Ko Sahare Ki zaroorat Nahi ,

Me sirf Sath Dene Aaya Hoon

Har Mulakat Pe Mahsus Yahi Hota He

Mujhse Kuchh Teri Nazar Puch Rahi Ho Jese

Rah Chalte Hue Aksar Yu Hame lagta He

Vo Nazar Chupese Mujhe Dekh Rahi Ho Jese

Ek Lamhe me Simat Aaya Sadiyon Ka Safar

Zindagi Tez Bahot Tez Chali Ho Jese

Is Tarah Pehron Tuje Sochata Raheta Hu Me

Meri Har Sans Tere Naam Likhi Ho Jese

Koi Faryad Tere Dil Me Dabi Ho Jese,

Tune Aankhon Se Koi Bat Kahi Ho Jese.....

Me, my son!

My Gopala....

Just beautiful....

My son...he loves books, he can't read though!

My sweeeeeet little Popeye!

Vote.... IPL... Power cuts... Scorching heat...West Bengal is Burning!

There's nothing actually to explain! May be the whole of India is going through this phase! But in Kolkata, due to lack of rainfall this season and more of power-cuts, things have turned ugly. This has affected the learned brain of Kolkatans as well. You will see people shouting at each other on a corniest matter...(But now we have polls as a hot topic!) Fights break out on the roads, even rickshawwalahs shout at the top of their voice to ask more the rate fixed by their very own rickshawwalah union. Although life's pace is a bit laid back in this predominantly communist-minded people's state, now its full-on summer out here folk!!!

oh!! Did I say 'power-cuts'?? Okay...let me tell you that just now I got news from home that power supply was off for the whole day except for one hour in the noon. So, I call it POWER FAILURE now!!

Can you beat that! OMG...I just love it! This was taken by my colleague Basab Nanda!
