The 70’s music and today’s College life

Am standing on the edge of my graduation life (result awaited), and today went into the flashback of my college life (thanks to slam book of classmates). Somehow, got an idea to relate some of our old bollywood songs to the college life…so let’s draw an analogy between there lyrics and the life of a college goer.

NUMERO-UNO (the FREASHERS song)

“aaj unse pahli mulaaqaat hogi
phir aamne saamne baat hogi
phir hogaa kyaa, kyaa pataa kyaa khabar
phir hogaa kyaa, kyaa pataa kyaa khabar”

Looks like a ‘first-date’ song, sung by aashiqs for their Miss(es). But I have a different perceptive to this…for me it is a ‘first-day’ song of college life (sung by Mr. Fresher for his dear Profs). Song taken from movie ‘Paraya Dhan’

TWO (for the Girls)

“haseeno ne bulaya, gale se bhi lagaya
bhout samajhaya, yahi na samajha
bhout bola hai bechara, na jaane kis pe aayega
hai apna dil to aawaara, na jaane kis pe aayega”

This is dedicated to college girls esp. class ki ladies. Rest – no comments. Song taken from movie ‘Solva Saal’.

THREE (Paradox)

“haal chaal theek thaak hai
Sab kuch theek thaak hai
B.A. kiya hai, M.A. kiya
Lagta vo bhi ayeve kiya
Kaam nahi hai varna yahan
Aapki dua se sab theek thaak hai”

This song is dedicated to current scene of INDIAN IT industry. The lyrics speak of irony. Most of us (computer engineers) have two jobs, but no joinings. Some of the companies have deferred their joinings by one year, but still, most of us are enjoying and as they say “all is fine here”. Song taken from movie ‘Mere Apne’.

FOUR (Hard-Work)

Placement time is a critical phrase. Some of us are selected and some of us not. Wordings like “duniya ki is bheed mein sabse peeche hum khade” and songs like
“"Khoon Pasina ki milegi to khaayenge
Nahi to yaaron hum bhuke hi so jayenge"
these, tell you the harsh truth and are really uncomfortable to deal with…Song taken from movie ‘Khoon Pasina’

FIVE (oo la la – STYLE)

“hai apna jeena, yahi jeena
TASHAN mein TASHAN mein TASHAN mein
TASHAN mein”

The way we move our cars on roads….got it!! Catch me if you can. Song taken from movie ‘Tashan’

SIX (Help Needed)

“oo aaj mausam bada beimaan hai
Bada beimaan hai aaj mausam
aana wala koi toofan hai
koi tufaan hai, aaj mausam”

Looking out of window into the GODs for their help. But when?? When you are in the examination room. You stare at sky, you curse weather and you start predicting cyclones, tycoons, hurricanes (you just turn to satellites) and then you go to toilet for passing that exam. Love live college toilets. Song taken from movie ‘Loafer’

SEVEN (Some Dedications)

“dil ko dekho chehraa na dekho
chehron ne laakhon ko loota
dil sacha aur chehra jhoota
dil sacha aur chehra jhoota

jo apni sachi soorat dikha dein
aise nahin duniyawale
sab ne hi apne cheharon ke aage
jhoot ke parde hain daale
meethi honthon pe baat, dil mein rehti hai khaat
dil ka honthon se naata hi jhoota
dil sacha aur chehra jhoota”

Dedicated to all hypocrites and liars of college. Song taken from movie ‘Saacha Jhootha’

EIGHT (Sleep Motivator)

“Ek Din Sapne Mein Dekha Sapna
Kya???
Arre Woh Jo Hai Na Amitabh Apna
Bachchan???
Haan!
Markit Se Out Hua, Logon Ko Doubt Hua
Meri Vajah Se Woh Gaya Gaya Gaya Gaya
Kismat To Badali, Kya Kahoon Really
Main Amitabh Ho Gaya
Ho Sapne Mein Dekha Sapna

Daaye Mein Hema, Baaye Pe Zeenat
Saamne Rekha, Peechhe Jo Dekha”

Incase you thinking where to fit in this song…someday try to attend a PDS or DP class. You will automatically be transported to a different world (dreamland) and once you land there…can anybody stop you!! Song belongs to Golmaal (old).

NINE (Optimism)

“Chhodo kal ki baatein, kal ki baat puraani
Naye daur mein likhenge milkar nayi kahaani”

This song is an important one. It signifies the power to excel in future despite our weak past (hmmm…I mean our poor grades). Song taken from movie ‘Hum Hindustani’

TEN (Hidden Love)

“Bhole bhale,
Bhole bhale dil ko behlate rahe,
Tanhai mein tere khayalon ko sajate rahe,
Kabhi kabhi tho, aavaaz dekar, mujhko jagaya khabon
ne,
Maine tere liye hi saat rang ke sapne chune,
Sapne, surile sapne”

This is song is from the movie ‘Anand’ and speaks about how can a lover sacrifice something like ‘Sleep’ for his/her loved one :P. One of my personal favorites.


ELEVEN (Carefree)

“Main Zindagi Ka Saath Nibhata Chala Gaya
Har Fikar Ko Dhuen Mein Udata Chala Gaya

Barbadiyon Ka Shok Manana Fizul Tha
Barbadiyon Ka Jashan Manata Chala Gaya”

Take life as it comes and be Happy always. Song taken from movie ‘Hum Dono’ (1961)

TWELVE (Plz Don’t Go)

“rukhja o jaane wali rukja
Main to rahi teri mainzil ka
Nazro main tere main bura sahi
Aadmi bura nahi main dilka…”

'A loved one going away from the lover' song…bakwaas analogy…Well this song, I dedicate it to a special teacher who went to Microsoft. Sirji, I have improved !! Song taken from movie ‘Kanhaiya’

THIRTEEN (the Viva Song)

“kishore : sa re ga maa, ma sa re gaa, ga sa re maa, ma ga re sa
rafi : pa dha pa ma ma pa ma ga ra pa ma ma ga re sa
dono : sa re ga maa, ma sa re gaa, ga sa re maa, ma ga re sa “

I call it the viva song. Student ‘ONE’ says something. Student ‘TWO’ says something. And then they both start to ‘blah-blah’ and it result in something ear-pinching!! basically the examiner passes you with this strategy. Song is from the movie ‘Chupke Chupke’.

FOURTEEN (Waiting Song)

“din Dhal jaaye haay, raat naa jaay
tuu to na aae terii, yaad sataaye,
din Dhal jaaye”

This is a waiting song esp. used when one has to wait for his project mentors and guides. Song belongs to movie ‘Guide’

FIFTEEN (Bbye)

Farewell time…and a brilliant way to bid adieu to all classmates…song (slightly modified) taken from ‘rangoli’

“choti si ye duniya
anjaane raaste hai mere
kahin tum miloge
to poochenge haal
choti si ye duniya”

Cheers

♪♪ "Walk the Streets of Love" ♪♪

Yesterday when me and Stanley were completing our usual routine i.e. Night Walk at 2 A.M., I saw a very sad doggy (Why was he sad!! May be his dinner bone was rotten?). Anyways, Stanley said to me about his similarity to aashiqs (lovers) types. Dunno why, but the sad doggy looked really sad. Stanley was almost in tears and suggested something really insane "Lets arrange a b*tch for him". God save Stanley. My heart says to dedicate a song for that very sad doggy...lets play him "Streets of Love"

STREETS OF LOVE
(M. Jagger/K. Richards)

You're awful bright, you're awful smart
I must admit you broke my heart
The awful truth is really sad
I must admit I was awful bad

While lovers laugh and music plays
I stumble by and I hide my pain
The lights are lit, the moon is gone
I think I've crossed the Rubicon

I walk the streets of love and they're full of tears
And I walk the streets of love and they're full of fears

While music pumps from passing cars
A couple watch me from a bar
A band just played the wedding march
And the corner store mends broken hearts
And a woman asks me for a dance
Oh it's free of charge, just one more chance

I walk the streets of love and they're full of tears
Walk the streets of love for a thousand years

Oh tell me now
I... Oh I walk the streets of love, yeah and they're drenched with tears... Oh

You had the moves, you had the cards
I must admit you were awful smart
The awful truth is awful sad
I must admit I was awful bad

And I walk the streets of love and they're drenched with tears
And I walk the streets of love for a thousand years... Oh

Walk the streets of love and they're drenched with tears
Oh every night, oh there's only one and not enough for him
Oh I, yeah and they're full of tears
Oh everybody talk about it
Everybody be walking down it
Yeah but I found out.... oh yes that I...

Oh yes I do
Oh the streets of love, yeah, they're drenched with, drenched with in tears...
I... oh yeah I don't want to..

When you don't get what you want.............

3:46 AM

When you don’t get what you want!! what to do?? Dial-a-friend and ..........smile obviously

One of my best friends had this episode few seconds back. And since I was involved in his counseling, I think I should write for me, you and hum…a philosophical chat…(though it was a never ending chat, have tried to shorten it)

His name his Mr….lets give him a fictitious name Mr. Ch* (maarega saala mujhe kissi din), but still lets talk and more importantly lets write. Let the pole go into the hole (I mean the hole in his heart). Ya! Incase you are a shit like him who can’t understand this metaphor (or whatever you call it), let me make it clear…he has his HEART BREAK-UP (hello why call me!! dial 101)…or something BREAK-UP or GOD knows what all BREAK-ed in him.

For first 10 minutes, all I could hear was a shattered narration of some cyclone-affected human body.
Me: what happened
Him: …DREAMS SHATTERED, HEART SINKING, MIND NOT DOING THE THINKING JOB…. (and God knows what all good things happened with him…may be he tasted shit and was telling me the symptoms…may be some cyclone developed inside his body)
Me: Brother what happened
Him (sadness to extremes, whining situations): Yaar aaj DIL toot gaya…vo saalon ke sapne toot gaye
Me: Okie, first tell me where you are?
Him: Maut se ek kadam duur
Me [sarcastically]: Chal badiya hai, at atlast you got there. Humari aisi kissmat kahan”
Him [Sunny-Deol types]: B ke ****, MC kaisa dost hai tu…, U thinking am talking F*** here
Me: ok calm down first, sorry, may you go-on n please everything in full-details
Him: Yaar, I called her today…right now
Me: You mean around 1 AM in this lovely dark night
Him: Ya
Me: Great…aage bol
Him: I told her about my situation
Me: What
Him: That I can’t stop pondering about her…and today she has to give the answer of that question in Boolean terminology
Me: Good, Digital Logic inserted in between…rascal
Him: Yaar am serious…that day jab we met, I felt strongly to indirectly know the answer through questions like what she thought me?, whether she liked me or not…
Me: What was the reply?
Him: The lady replied ‘Me dunno know much about you’…but today I asked her directly and told her as a friend please answer in simple Y/N. And she chose N against Y
Me: You asked the reason?
Him: I did. She replied - ‘I never thought of you in that manner. I can understand your feelings but __ (rechristened to Mr. Ch* here), me never had that mutual understanding w.r.t type of feelings you are talking about.
Him: I even asked her about whether it is possible in future. The simple, sweet and most importantly honest reply was even more HEART BREAKing [a pathetic giggle]
Me: Tell me that simple, sweet and honest reply
Him: Her words - ‘And I can’t see that coming in future.’
Me [suprized with unintended smile]: Okay, thats a really simple and SWEET answer. So, what’s the problem now!!
Him: Help me get over this BREAK-UP thing…
Me: What BREAK-UP!! I wonder whether it was ever a UP at any time. Come on dude, don’t tell you didn’t understand her reply…do you understand importance of the word ‘mutual’…I dunno think there was any duplex sharing of interest ever in your case and to say the bottomline - she wasn’t your love EVER!! What am going to say is harsh but true – your as*hole were having hallucinations which were totally absurd and seriously self-pleasing. Man! Your way and her way of thinking are drastically diverging and are wrong paths. And about the future thing, me must acknowledge the girl. Atleast she isn’t playing or giving flirting type answers. In my eyes it’s a very decent reply…don’t derive wrong ad-hoc conclusions.
Him: [pause…he must have tears in his eyes after this reply i.e. my counseling…even devil not smiling here]
Him: Yaaaaaar…where am I now? [a low decibel shout]

call disconnect -> redial -> I called back and the story continues…

Me: Calm down…nothing has happened. See the best way to live life is to see everything in a positive sense. Tension kya be…
Him: [silent…silent…silent…he simply lost it…either he lost his power of speech or MTNL was playing tricks]
Me: Hello…Hello __(Ch*). (oye,, Where is he??...thoughts of him committing suicide coming into my mind…fear…horror…)
Him: (after 2 sec), ya am here
Me: Bas****, you just F***ed me…
(back to normal vocals)
Be fine…see, frankly and honestly I would say the fault is all yours! And if you I want I can tell you. You can be more cautious next time to try (hunk’s giggle...imagine yourself)
Him: Bol
Me: The fault lies in your views basically. In relationships, you can’t be highly optimistic. It is not a machine with whom you are expecting some satisfactory results. You are dealing with humans. And humans are random. You just can’t deceide any relationship’s fate based upon your optimistic view. “Expectations always lead to disappointments”, one of my principles of life and am really cool about that.
Ch*, my friend just try to shift your optimism onto the career side. Be an optimist while you are dealing with team members in projects, presentations and more crap things. And you will a more successful life…
Him: Sahi keh raha hai
Me: And one thing more – try to see things with rationalism and practicality. Try to understand that you can’t create feelings; Remember that one-liner ‘feelings can’t be created, but feelings can create things’!! And about her, just leave her, if that feel comes to her, you are lucky or else do…hmmm…anything (apart from calling me in this lovely hour). Doggy, you got it.
Him: Hee hee, thank you man…Doggy’s best friend…hee hee [oho again]
Me [sarcastically]: Ya, I know, am made for F***ed up people like you and these days have started late night shifts too.
Him: Hee hee (that irritating girle type giggles, I finally got it…angelic work from Devil)
Me: Acha tell me, for how long you knew her
Him: half-a-decade
Me: Waah, waah mere aashiq waah
Him: Ya, I know…but…
Me: What?? Don’t tell me, you were afraid about the nO answer!! Dude, where was your practical mind!! What happened to your rationalism!! And then you Bas****s throw the throne of MCP to me
Him: Ya, that fear is always there. And I also know fear of failure is an emblem of weakness. May be I was weak; or I am weak
[disappointment in his environment…pause of 5 sec…]
Him: May be, I should learn from you. Guess, being a MCP is a strong show of character. Just love you buddy [again that aggravating Hee Hee]
Me: ya, I know that. A few moments back you were having the same love for a different sex. They say ‘time changes everything’ and nowdays, it is changing gender too. This environment if full of gayness now…what a lovely romantic late night heart-to-heart talk am having. I can clearly see what’s there in destiny for me. [sarcasm to limits]
….

And the conversation went on while the world slept…

Ch* will me kill me for this post. Ch*, my friend if you are reading this do forgive me and don't think about silly suicide attempts. Oh bloody hell, F***, I can see him now. He is standing in front of me. I am standing in front of him. Both are breathing concurrently. I can clearly see him in the mirror…
[All smiles to Devil]
Hope, the fool was out of you :P Well was wondering if CB can write asskicking fiction (5.sum1) , why can’t I…may be me and you too should write a book…Three Mistakes of My Life – ‘Love, Friends and Myself’
[Devil still smiles]
