Yeh Kya Hua – Amar Prem

I think it’s essential to post this kind of song on Speak Your Mind as well. I believe you don’t just think, but you go beyond it while listening to it. Both the movie & this song touch your heart, provided you have one. 

I have seen Amar Prem a couple of times while I was a kid & I think it’s an amazing movie that portrays the decadence of human values & how they judge humans. In this movie, a prostitute worries more about somebody else’s child & that’s touching & even that boy never forgets her. And you know the society is responsible to a great extent for creating prejudices & that was the reason why Sharmila Tagore stops meeting Rajesh Khanna & that little boy whose step mom was so mean. 

Anyhow, I really liked how in the end Vinod Mehra takes Sharmila Tagore home as if she’s his real mother. He gave such fabulous expressions when a man was getting mad at Sharmila Tagore for not working quickly. 

Now coming to the song. Kishore Kumar has sung it well. In fact that would be an understatement. 

These are pertinent questions. Only a person who could feel can raise them or understand them. 

“Yeh kya hua?, Kaise hua? , Kab hua?, Kyon hua? , Jab hua tab hua, O chorro yeh na soccho!” 

Anyhow I really like this stanza:

"Hum kyon shikwa kare jhoote 

 Kya hua jo dil toota 

Sheeshe ka khilona tha 

Kuch na kuch tou hona thaa hua 

In fact bas yeh hee hota hai dil kay saath. (Speaking of which reminds me that some people have so much issues with the fact that people scribble in Urdu on their blogs. We don't run newspapers & there is not written anywhere that we are prohibited to write something in our mother tongue on the blog & if there is such a rule, we gladly fuck it!) Anyhow, it is like people think they have the right to break your heart. It’s some kind of a worthless toy for them. And taking someone for granted is a very old thing. Some people just stay rotten. You know same thing happens again & again. 

There is too much pain in the song. It shakes one up. I mean only if you could feel it. It’s not for everyone.

Chhalakaye jaam aaeeye aap kee aankhon ke naam - Mere Humdam Mere Dost

It's one of the best therapies - Get drunk & insult the person :P

And cheers to your eyes & cheers to your lips - that makes it even more hilarious, because in some cases, it's even difficult to choose which one.

Anyway, Rafi sahab has done a marvelous job. Dharmendra has given amazing expressions & Sharmila Tagore looks really stunning.

And I like this particular line: 'Duniya ko ho auron ki dhoon hum ko tou hai sakee say kaam.'

Baghon Mein Bahar Hai– Aradhana

This is actually a very cute song & the reason why I'm posting another song from the same movie is of course Rafi sahab. He's got such a beautiful, soft & sweet voice that you just can't ignore.

Although Farida Jalal was healthy, but she looked cute. Even now she looks extremely cute & sweet. And Rajesh Khanna looked awesome in Aradhana.Insaan literally behak jata hai when you look at him!

Roop Tera Mastaana Pyaar Mera Dewaana – Aradhana

Very, very sexy song! More than the voice of Kishore Kumar, it's Rajesh Khanna who drives me nuts every time I see this song. I really like his white shirt. No doubt aaj nashe mein saara jahan hai!

It's indeed a very beautiful, sexy track. This film was released in 1969. It has an amazing plot. You'd love it. It was actually inspired by the film 'To Each His Own.' It was voted the best movie of the year & Sharmila Tagore got her 1st Filmfare best actress award.

Choosing the best line is invariably tough. Perhaps it's 'Raat nashili mast saama hai, aaj nashe mein saara jahan hai.'

Even 'Kaisay magar koi dil ko samjhaaye' & 'Bhool koi hum say na ho jaaye' - this is reality. You just can't do anything about it. Anyhow, Kishore Kumar has sung it beautifully.

Hum Thay Jin Kay Sahare Woh Huay Na Humare

Very deep! That's all I can say for this song.

I think it has beautiful lyrics. I don't know about others but I can relate to it. This is how life is. It's so true:

Jo zindagi mein kami thi, woh kami tou rahe gi

What's missing in your life will keep on missing. The whole world may go on. And some people really don't ever find love, loyal friends or anything that's worth it.

Moreover, it's just doesn't cost a dime to break promises & trust of another being.

Kya mohabat kay wade, kya wafa kay irade, ret ki hain dewaare, jo bhi chaahe gira de

Remembering Nawab of Pataudi

Nawab of Pataudi - Mansur Ali Khan passed away on 22nd September, 2011 at the age of 70. I have only heard and seen some of his photos earlier mostly because I have been a Bollywood follower and Saif Ali Khan happens to be his son while Sharmila Tagore his wife. I knew very little about his cricket days as such since it was a long time ago.

So, today as I was going through this photos and the condolence messages I thought we should dedicate a post  to this handsome and classy man. I gotta admit the man totally impressed me. God does not make such men anymore it seems :)

We remember awesome people in a good way...so enjoy these lovely photos taken in his life.

Rest In Peace!

Is There Really A Marriage Taking Place?

Saif Ali Khan and Kareena Kapoor have been together for a long time now. Kareena has shown her interest in marriage quite openly. She even disclosed that she wants to marry him in 2012 in Koffee with Karan recently.

We are never really sure looking at Saif's flirtatious track record. He married Amrita Singh first but got divorced in 2004. He has two kids with this marriage. It is said that he was always into other girls during his marriage also. Then he had an affair with the Italian model Rosa after his divorce but he got irritated that she was pushing him for getting roles in the Hindi movies. Next, he did have the hots for Bipasha Basu, however, she never bothered much about Saif. So, he naturally settled down for Kareena who was dying to be with him after ditching Shahid.

There is an if till it all happens but Sharmila Tagore has openly mentioned that Saif and Kareena are in fact going to get married soon. They have given immense thought on settling down and Saif already talked to his mother about it. According to Sharmila ji, the couple just have to decide upon a date.

So, this is the latest news on Saif and Kareena. If they will get married, we will report it hopefully. I am just 1% more interested in their marriage news compared to the royal wedding (which is not at all important to me at least).

Saif-Kareena celebrate his dad's birthday

Kareena Kapoor is truly already a part of Saif Ali Khan's family. The couple were holidaying in Switzerland but flew into Mumbai for just a day so that they could be part of the celebrations for Saif dad Mansoor Ali Khan Pataudi's 70th birthday.

The couple flew over 20 hours to be in the city for the party that was planned by Saif's mum Sharmila and then flew back to Switzerland for their holiday.

The party saw a special audiovisual presentation put together by Sharmila Tagore for her hubby, chronicling his life in cricket and with quotes from his friends and family members.

Saif and Bebo also ordered a three-tiered cake for the party.

All in all, it was a family celebration, with Kareena seemingly already part of the Pataudi clan.
