tumse mil ke, aisa laga tumse mil ke - armaan hue poore dil ke
ae meri jaan e wafa
teri meri - meri teri - ik jaan hai
saath tere rahenge sada, tumse na honge judaa
mere sanam, teri kasam - chhodenge ab na yeh haath
yeh zindagi - guzregi ab - humdam tumhaare hi saath
apna yeh vaada raha, tumse na honge judaa
maine kiya - hai raat din - bas tera hi intezaar
tere bina - aata nahin - ik pal mujhe ab qaraar
humdam mera mil gaya, ab hum na honge judaa

Warner Bros. is launching two Web sites to capture new ad revenue and a younger generation of viewers, the company said Monday.
KidsWB.com, geared for children, debuted Monday, featuring animated characters from the Warner Bros. library, which includes Bugs Bunny, Scooby Doo and DC Comics heroes like Batman.
TheWB.com — with full episodes of shows such as "Friends" and "Smallville" and made-for-online shows — is to launch in a beta test format next month, according to Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. Television Group.
Well a slap or a push, or whatever, I personally don't think there is a problem. At least me and some of my friends have had this opinion for a while that Sreesanth needed to be slapped around a bit.
Now he gets the whack from me or from Bhajji or from anyone else, I couldn't care less.
More importantly, Sreesanth says the issue is over and he doesn't want to pump it up further. I am sure Bhajji wants it over with too. So why bother?
Raat gayi, baat gayi. No, I am not a Bhajji fan, but I do believe that Sreesanth has had the whack coming his way for a long time now. Lets hope this sobers down dancing boy - at least a bit.
Besides, it's not like he whacked Sreesanth during the game. It was after the match was over. This could very well be ignored by everyone and viewed as a non-cricket issue and perhaps more of a personal issue (At least I would consider it along those lines).
Bhajji.. well he chucks anyways. Couldn't care less about what happens to him.
I still don't understand why the media ran all the way to Bhajji's and Sreesanth's folks for this issue. I mean, it's not like these guys are in secondary school or something and the guardians need to be informed about their ward's behaviour.
India TV's coverage of the entire incident - HILLARIOUS. I do watch India TV, for a good laugh, when there is nothing better showing on the tele.

barsaat ke mausam main - tanhai ke aalam main
main ghar se nikal aaya - botal bhi utha laaya
abhi zinda hoon to jee lene - jee lene do
bhari barsaat main pee lene do
mujhe tukadon main nahi jeena hai
katra katra toh nahi peena hai
aaj paimaane hata do yaaron
saara maikhana peela do yaaro
maikadon main to piya karta hoon
chalti rahon main bhi pee lene do
mere dushman hain zamane ke gham
baad peene ke yeh honge kam
zulm duniya ke na seh paoonga
bin piye aaj na reh paaonga
mujhe haalaat se takraana hai
aise haalsat main pee lene do
aaj ki shaam badi bojhal hai
aaj ki raat badi kaatil hai
aaj ki shaam dhalegi kaise
aaj ki raat kategi kaise
aag se aag bujhegi dil ki
mujhe yeh aag bhi pee lene do
Whisper words of wisdom - 'Let it be'

There will be an answer.. let it be.

ashaar mere yuun to zamaane ke liye hain
kuch sher faqat unko sunaane ke liye hain
ab ye bhi nahin theek ki har dard mitaa den
kuch dard kaleje se lagaane ke liye hain
aankhon mein jo bhar loge to kaanton se chubhenge
ye khvaab to palkon pe sajaane ke liye hain
dekhuun tere haathon ko to lagataa hai tere haath
mandir mein faqat deep jalaane ke liye hain
socho to badi cheez hai tahzeeb badan ki
varnaa to badan aag bujhaane ke liye hain
ye ilm ka saudaa ye risaale ye kitaaben
ik shakhs ki yaadon ko bhulaane ke liye hain
The movie is thrilling, just not as much as I would like it to be. There are a few good sequences (loved the car chase) but then.. somehow just didn't seem enough. The first 49 mins 44 seconds, from my view - were uninspiring. I was finding it hard to keep myself interested. After that. The movie did liven up.
The president has been shot, a secret service agent decides to investigate the scene with.. hang on now - A SPECTATOR'S CAMCORDER (of course, later on moves into a slightly more professional mode, after realizing how stupid this would seem to the viewers, and takes his investigation to the crew of a news network.. hmm better than a camcorder anyway)
The performances were stupid, over the top - at times and not really what I like to see. The script is definitely unimaginative
And Anna.. the girl with the ice-cream cone...
Standing in the middle of the highway staring at a charging ambulance and screaming " Maaamaa"
Arrey! move out of the way. How stupid do they think kids really are? I am sure when they see a charging car coming towards them, they know they should move out of the way.
Dennis Quaid is easily the best thing about this movie (this should give you an idea of how much this movie really lacks). No surprise about his role or performance
Matthew Fox - Never liked him, doubt I ever will. Have hated this guy from the time I have been watching Lost. Could be his buzz cut that gets me worked up, or could be just his pathetic acting. Whatever it is, I just don't like him.
Forest Whitaker - Occasionally I do appreciate his work - I did like him in the Last King of Scotland, but more often than not - I just wish that I don't have to see him in another movie.
The movie is watchable, tolerable but definitely not something one would (or should) recommend. Time pass.
Crap! Didn't bother with even completing this one. Burt Reynolds, Ray Liotta, Jason Statham .. and this is the crap they come up with! Pathetic.
Waste of time.
In February, The International Federation of the Phonographic Industry - IFPI - went to court to get Danish ISP Tele2 to block access to the The Pirate Bay (TPB) accusing it of aiding and abetting copyright infringement.
On 1 April the IFPI demanded $2.5m from Pirate Bay in damages for compensation for downloads of 24 albums, nine films and four games.
Pirate Bay is threatening to seek damages from music industry lobby group IFPI for blocking access to its website. Of course, that is if Tele2 wins the appeal.
Brokep (Pirate Bay Administrator) says:
"
The outcome I’m pretty sure is in our favor. And as you know, TPB and friends do not let Ifpi decide the game. So I’m thinking that we will need to ask the court for compensation for the months that we have been blocked.
Although we went from 29th on Alexa to currently 24th most popular site in Denmark (Thanks Ifpi for the gratis advertising) it’s still fair to say that we’ve had to do a lot to defend ourselves and that we need compensation for the users that lost access to the site and for the people who are spreading their works using The Pirate Bay.
We will demand an amount of cash that we feel will be reasonable (Not counting like Ifpi themselves, we actually understand economy a bit more).
With the money (when/if we get it) we will start a Danish grant if possible. The grant will give out money to Danish aspiring artists for making music and releasing it for free. And all will be sponsored by Ifpi since they tried to fuck those people over. Poetic justice.
Hope TPB gets to do it.. AND A LOT MORE.. All the best
Loved it. Could have been better, but hey, that can be said about everything, right?
The movie starts off rather slow, but gets really cool once the BANK JOB is on. It's my kind of a movie and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Boy, that's a mouthful.
If you look at the product page, man... talk about features!
The typos really don't help convincing you much, but lets leave that aside. Now, the processor, is it 266 MHZ of 533 MHZ, or have they not decided yet? Network Camera/1.3 MP Camera? WTF!!
Sudarshan Faakir ...
aaj ke daur mein ai dost ye manzar kyon hai
zakhm har sar pe har ik haath mein patthar kyon hai
jab haqeeqat hai ke har zarre mein tu rahta hai
phir zameen par kahin masjid kahin mandir kyon hai
apna anjaam to maaluum hai sab ko phir bhi
apni nazron mein har insaan sikandar kyon hai
zindagi jine ke qaabil hi nahin ab "faakir"
varnaa har aankh mein ashkon ka samandar kyon hai
Not like we didn't know that, but the reason it makes news now is because a Microsoft Executive said so himself. David Cross, a product unit manager at Microsoft - He was part of the super idiotic team that developed UAC for Vista.
"
The reason we put UAC into the platform was to annoy users. I'm serious
UAC - User Account Control - the annoying thing prompting up every time you want to install or modify a particular application or change a setting. I disabled UAC after the first few minutes of using Vista. Honestly, I really didn't think there would be anyone who would leave that annoying option enabled. I was surprised to read that - 88% of Vista users have UAC enabled (WTF!!! What's wrong with you people!) and 66% of Windows sessions do not encounter UAC prompts (huh! really! well I wouldn't know since I disabled the damn thing in the first few minutes itself)
Half-way through Season 2 of Dexter - Still enjoying it. In fact it just keeps getting more and more interesting and/or entertaining.
Would I want to change something? nah.. I don't think I would change a single thing about this show. One of those rare ones that seems to be going exactly the way I would like it to. Hope it continues that way.
Well 'almost' everything is fine with the series. hmmm, given the option, I would like to chuck out Rita (Julie Benz) from the show. I think she actually would be pretty much out, after this (Ep 6) episode (Yaay!).
Not sure if there is a Season 3.
UPDATE: No luck in getting rid of Rita (Shit happens). But the series is still cool.
For those of you still using IE, and actually like it (to each his own), here is IE 8
A few interesting things, like Activities, Web Slices etc.
You can view demo-videos for the new features from the above link as well.
While I seriously doubt it (I-Phone Killer bit), but then can't say anything until I get to have a go at the phone.
It's not that I like the I-Phone, did have a go at it, just too many issues. Of course, since then there have been firmware updates - but I'd rather wait till (IF IT HAPPENS) they add 3G to the damn thing (I-Phone).
Anyway, more on the Nokia Tube - here.

The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter.The Grasshopper thinks the Ant is a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.
Come winter ,the Ant is warm and well fed. The Grasshopper has no food or shelter so he dies out in the cold.
Indian Version (please read on)
The Ant works hard in the withering heat all summer building its house and laying up supplies for the winter. The Grasshopper thinks the Ant's a fool and laughs & dances & plays the summer away.
Come winter, the shivering Grasshopper calls a press conference and demands to know why the Ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed while others are cold and starving.
NDTV, BBC, CNN show up to provide pictures of the shivering Grasshopper next to a video of the Ant in his comfortable home with a table filled with food.
The World is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be that this poor Grasshopper is allowed to suffer so?
Finally, the Judicial Committee drafts the 'Prevention of Terrorism Against Grasshoppers Act' [POTAGA], with effect from the beginning of the winter.
Arjun Singh makes 'Special Reservation' for Grasshoppers in Educational Institutions & in Government Services. The Ant is fined for failing to comply with POTAGA and having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes,it's home is confiscated by the Government and handed over to the Grasshopper in a ceremony covered by NDTV.
Many years later...
The Ant has since migrated to the US and set up a multi-billion dollar company in Silicon Valley. 100s of Grasshoppers still die of starvation despite reservation somewhere in India.
As a result of loosing lot of hard working Ants and feeding the Grasshoppers, India is still a developing country !!!
Dikhaawon pe mat jaao... apni akal ladaao
Heard about this a few days back.
In October, the Zain E-go will be providing upto 14.4 Mbps connection.
Spoke to a few guys over at Zain and at present, they state that a new device would not be required. Implying the existing Huawei E220 would be upgraded (firmware upgrade) to enable it to support upto 14.4 Mbps.
Just thought I would put it up here, in case anyone may be interested.
The option has been available on the site for a long time (pay online link), but I could never get it to work earlier.
The last time I had tried, it didn't work. It wouldn't let me pay off my speeding fines, message stated something like I couldn't select these and had to go to the Traffic Dept. and clear them off.
Today morning, I was checking, there was a speeding violation (the previous ones were cleared off at the time of passing). I decided to give the PAY ONLINE thing another try.
Didn't work the first time. (transaction failed)
Had my online banking site open as well and was checking if the amount would be deducted regardless of me not getting any confirmation from MOI.
Tried again - confirmation appeared. Got a print out.. (MOI logo and all that) checked online banking. amount deducted. Checked online again for fines, the speeding violation had been cleared off.
BTW.. there is a .500 fils fee for paying the fines online. (a small price to pay, for the convenience)
I had him!
His throat was bare beneath my hand.
No, I had him!
His throat was there and now he'll never come again.
Easy now, hush love hush
I keep telling you, What's your rush?
When? Why did I wait?
You told me to wait -
Now he'll never come again.
There's a hole in the world like a great black pit
And it's filled with people who are filled with shit
And the vermin of the world inhabit it.
But not for long...
They all deserve to die.
Tell you why, Mrs. Lovett, tell you why.
Because in all of the whole human race
Mrs. Lovett, there are two kinds of men and only two
There's the one staying put in his proper place
And the one with his foot in the other one's face
Look at me, Mrs Lovett, look at you.
No, we all deserve to die
Even you, Mrs. Lovett, Even I.
Because the lives of the wicked should be made brief
For the rest of us death will be a relief. We all deserve to die.
And I'll never see Johanna
No I'll never hug my girl to me - finished!
Alright! You sir, you sir, how about a shave?
Come and visit your good friend Sweeney.
You sir, too sir? Welcome to the grave.
I will have vengenance.
I will have salvation.
Who sir, you sir?
No ones in the chair, Come on! Come on!
Sweeney's. waiting. I want you bleeders.
You sir! Anybody!
Gentlemen now don't be shy!
Not one man, no, nor ten men.
Nor a hundred can assuage me.
I will have you!
And I will get him back even as he gloats
In the meantime I'll practice on less honorable throats.
And my Lucy lies in ashes
And I'll never see my girl again.
But the work waits!
I'm alive at last!
And I'm full of joy!
Absolutely amazing. Loved it. Loved every minute of it. In fact, going to watch it again in a few minutes. Helps if you have watched the play or have read the book (yes it's an adaptation of a Hugh Wheeler book).
I am not a fan of musicals, I like select few only. I am - more often that not - disappointed by adaptations, but this one is a classic. Don't think many people would enjoy this movie though (my view). Well I couldn't care less. As I mentioned, I loved every minute of it. I enjoyed the book, was pretty much convinced the movie would disappoint me, but it didn't. Well done. Good job by everyone. Absolutely brilliant.
Just a bit of information - WON - Best Musical, Best Book (by Hugh Wheeler) and Best Score, as well as five other Tony Awards for its Broadway Premiere in 1979.
More information HERE (in case someone is interested)
Done with Season 1. Enjoyed every bit of it. Will be starting off with Season 2 in a few days.
Naseer sahib - Kya dialog delivery. Bhai waah! (It's a guest appearance)
That said, the rest of the movie, leaves a lot to be desired. Let me be fair - it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be. It wasn't even close to being as bad as I had expected it to be. A bit of work on parts of the script would have really improved the experience.
The film-maker obviously had another agenda and in all fairness - he managed to get that point across rather well. But there were some serious problems with the plot. Mary's father's character got a really pathetic script to perform.
"
I am leaving soon because there are no proper toilets ??!!
I mean, come on mate - I am sure - AT THAT TIME - there were more important things to worry about for that character than ...... well... CRAP!!
The movie sure has problems, Mary/Mariam (Iman Ali) - the accent needs work. She doesn't look bad - in the movie, but she can look so much better (than she does in the movie). Do check out some of her modelling pics.
Daniel Day-Lewis - too good!
The part when Daniel has a go at Eli Sunday (Paul Dano), thoroughly enjoyed it. Well done. In the end (I am a false prophet, God is a superstition) - might be a bit over-the-top, but I loved it!
My favourite quote from the movie:
"
There are times when I look at people and I see nothing worth liking. I want to earn enough money that I can get away from everyone.
I can relate. Not that I like feeling that way - but hell, I can't help the way I feel.
ye duniya, ye mehfil - mere kaam ki nahin
kiss ko sunaaoo haal dil-e-bekaraar ka
bujhta hua chiraag hoon, apne mazaar ka
e kaash bhool jaaoon magar bhoolta nahin
kiss dhoom se uthhaa thaa - janaazaa bahaar ka
apna pataa mile, naa khabar yaar ki mile
dushman ko bhi naa aisi sazaa pyaar ki mile
unko khudaa mile hain, khuda ki jinhen talaash
mujh ko bas ek jhalak mere dildaar ki mile
sehraa mein aa ke bhi, mujh ko thikaanaa naa mila
gham ko bhoolaane kaa koi bahaanaa naa mila
dil tarse jiss mein pyaar ko, kya samjhoon us sansaar ko
ek jeeti baazi haar ke, main dhoondoon bichhade yaar ko
door nigaahon se aansoo bahaataa hai koi
kaise naa jaaoon main, mujh ko bulaataa hai koi
yaa toote dil ko jod do, yaa saare bandhan tod do
e parbat rastaa de mujhe, e kaanton daaman chhod do
Interesting approach by some of the supporters. Quick questions though, is it the OLYMPICS that is screwing up things for Tibetans? hmmm. Is the Olympics owned by China? How is boycotting an event like the Olympics going to be any different from the protests (so many of them) that we see almost regularly, supporting the Tibet Cause?
Insisting that Aamir Khan does not participate in the Olympic Torch Relay is going to help the Tibet cause? Really? and how so? Anyone care to elaborate please? (Some sensible explanations please. And if you think I am insensitive, then fine. I would rather be insensitive than illogical)
Furthermore, isn't it HIS decision? Do you invite him and insist that he sits in on every protest that is held for every other cause? Why the insistence on this then? If it is STAR POWER that you need, don't you think Richard Gere is STARRY ENOUGH? Sure, there is no harm in adding more, but like I said, shouldn't it be the person involved - making the decision for himself, rather than having everyone else insisting that he do what THEY think is right?
Dikhaawon pe mat jaao... apni akal ladaao.
Sigh.. some people.
