Music and Romance

R.D. Burman's birthday was yesterday (July 27th). Although there are like a million compositions that I love, i'll post this song today. It is one of my fav romantic number. It is from the movie 'Raampur ka Lakshman'. Lata and Kishore again show why they were the industry's best singers in that era (apart from Rafi, am a big fan!). The soft composition adds to the feel. Well, I love this song! Only bad thing is probably Rekha's hideous makeup, totally spoils the second antara visually!!! Listen to it with your eyes closed. :-D


Song: Gum hain kisi ke pyar mein
Movie: Raampur ka Lakshman
Music Director: R.D.Burman
Lyrics: Majrooh Sultanpuri
Singers: Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar

Lyrics
=====
 (I have listened to it so many times, that I can actually write the entire thing on my own. Also while my scripts run, I do have some time at my disposal, so here  you go!)

(humming)
haan, kya kaha?
gum hain kisi ke pyaar mein dil subah shaam
par tumhe likh nahi paaon mein uska naam
haaye raam haaye raam

kuch likha?
haan
kya likha?
oh, gum hain kisi ke pyaar mein dil subah shaam
par tumhe likh nahi paaon mein uska naam
haaye raam haaye raam

accha, aage kya likhoon?
aage...
socha hain ek din mein usse mil ke
keh Daalon apne sab haal dil ke
aur kardoon jeevan uske havaale
phir choDdhe chaahe apna banaale
main toh uska re hua diwaana
ab toh jaisa bhi mera ho anjaam
oh, gum hain kisi ke pyaar mein

likhliya?
haan
zara paDke toh sunaao na
chaaha hain tumne jis bhaawari ko
woh bhi sajanva chaahe tumhi ko
naina uTaaye toh pyar samjho
palkein jhuka de toh ikrar samjho
rakhtein hain kab se chupa chupa ke
kya?
apne hoTon main piya tera naam
oh, gum hain kisi ke pyaar mein....

Ya rabba

Am down with a cold and feeling totally blue. So a sad song today!

Lovely one though. If you thought only Sonu Nigam can squeeze out the emotions in a sad song, think again. Kailash Kher excels in this one. Lovely timing in the movie also. As usual lyrics is brilliant. All in all, a beautiful one. Listen to it even if you are not feeling blue. At the end of it, you will. (evil laughter in the background)

Movie: Salaam-e-Ishq

Music Director: Shankar Ehsaan Loy

Lyricist: Sameer

Singer: Kailash Kher

Lyrics - Well, googled for it and found this --> http://ezeehindilyrics.blogspot.in/2010/06/salaam-e-ishq-lyrics-ya-rabba-lyrics.html - it has the translations too. Enjoy!

Sid is walking now!!! Its the most happiest thing one can see, with his tiny legs trying to balance and his hands waving in the air. He walks like a penguin and that IS cute! And he blabbers utter nonsense while he is walking. Looks and sounds very funny!

Well, that's almost stale news now. He has forgotten that he was crawling before. Even if he falls while walking, he gets up and resumes walking, rarely giving in to crawling. It is loads of fun, but we also need to be very careful about where he is going and what he is pulling, lifting etc.

So as usual, now a days, he carries a cricket bat in 1 hand and starts walking and pushing the ball around. We need to pass the ball to him and he starts waving it on the ground and hits the ball. Josh is very impressed with his son's cricketting skills.
This one time, when Sid was happily pushing the ball around, Josh said, and i quote, 'Notice how he does not scavenge the ball, he makes contact with it'!!!!!!! Sheesh! And I think I also heard him comment something about Sid's stance! God save Sid if he is not interested in cricket while growing up.
