Welcome to 2 States

Love marriages around the world are simple:

Boy loves girl. Girl loves boy.
They get married.

In India, there are a few more steps:

Boy loves Girl. Girl loves Boy.
Girl's family has to love boy. Boy's family has to love girl.
Girl's Family has to love Boy's Family. Boy's family has to love girl's family.
Girl and Boy still love each other. They get married.

Chetan Bhagat's new novel... "2 states - the story of my marriage" narrates this in great style!

DD Turns 50 - Its the Golden year

DD means nostalgic... becoz i remember watching DD throughout my school days from the Delhi Asiad times... and now, hardly anything.

Yet, what i see in today's other channels, can't be remembered as what were in the good old DD days...

A new IDEA!

What kind of business idea is the RIGHT idea? Virtually any idea that meets these criteria:
It is something you know how to do and can do well.
It is something you LIKE to do and wouldn’t mind doing day after day.
It is something with a broad enough appeal to sell on a steady basis.
It can be sold at a price that will cover all of your expenses and overhead plus return a healthy profit.
If you have or can raise sufficient funds to get the business started and keep it running until it becomes a profitable venture.
If you haven’t yet found your entrepreneurial niche, Then start thinking it today..

Simple rules to be happy

Here are a few simple, yet effective ways to a happy life

1. Tell the truth: To tell the truth is the mark of a person with character. In today’s professional warfare, twisting the truth has become a norm. Trust is lacking in personal and professional relationships. People are not honest about their feelings, their agendas and their intentions, for the fear of being rejected or judged. Being rejected and judged on the truth is far better than living a lie. Aspire to be honest no matter what the consequences. You will be happier and abundant in all that counts.

2. Appreciate goodness: Some of us rank first in the queue of criticism and in the same breath; we are the last to appreciate. Remember this that whatever you appreciate will grow in your experience. When you compliment and appreciate someone, they will always return your gesture. Appreciation like any other outflow of emotion and it has a boomerang effect; it comes back to you multiplied. Give genuine appreciation and you will be richly rewarded with more.

3. Don’t do to others that you would not have others do to you: Do not put others down on one pretext or another. The person who puts others down is far unhappier than the person belittled. Measure every action by the rule, “Would I have this done to me?” If your answer is no, don’t do it. Always treat people with the grace and dignity they deserve even if your opinion about them is otherwise. When you treat people a certain way, indirectly you are sending out the message of how you should be treated. Treat people with respect, no matter what your opinion.

4. Take care of yourself: Some people look after their cars better than they look after their own bodies. I sincerely believe that someone who is not interested in looking after himself is a disaster waiting to happen. The ultimate disrespect one can bear upon oneself is not to consider oneself worthy enough of being treated well. You can’t complain when others don’t treat you well, if you can’t do that for yourself. Treat yourself with love, and you will find yourself in a zone of pure happiness.

5. Be competent: The greatest joy one gets is out of his own competence and accomplishments. Competent people have higher self esteem and self worth. They consider themselves capable of adding value and that increases their happiness quotient. Be competent in your field of endeavor.

6. Have the attitude of gratitude: Gratefulness is the key to greatness. It puts you in a state of acceptance and tolerance. You can’t be grateful and not be happy. Gratitude is the most gracious path to happiness. Be grateful for all that you have, and when you are grateful for that, you will never be in a position of lack.

7. Set a good example: The highest form of living is by setting a good example. No matter who you are, how small or big, there is always someone watching you and emulating you. And if you have children, then the responsibility of setting a good example is far greater. When you direct your life consciously towards setting a good example, you can never go wrong. Life is beautiful and the keys to happiness are simple. Infact, unhappiness is a clue that we have deviated from fairness, honesty and compromised on our integrity. The slightest pinch of negativity should direct us towards the simple rules of being happy.

Life is worth living if you allow yourself to be happy. It’s easy. Be happy. Be Positive.

Oye!
talking about films...

"I Can't Think Straight" is the new film by Shamim Sharif scheduled for release in India in April 2009 staring Lissa Ray and Sheetal Seth.

Talking straight, its a lesbian film; and after watching these trailers, it would be really hard for anyone to Think Straight!

Sometimes people come into your life and you know right away that they were meant to be there…to serve some sort of purpose, teach you a lesson or help figure out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be but you lock eyes with them, you know that very moment that they will affect your life in some profound way.

And sometimes things happen to you at the time that may seem horrible, painful and unfair, but in reflection you realize that without overcoming those obstacles you would never realize your potential, strength, will power or heart.

Everything happens for a reason. Nothing happens by chance or by means of luck. Illness, love, lost moments of true greatness and sheer stupidity all occur to test limits of your soul.

Without these small tests, life would be like a smoothly paved, straight, flat road to nowhere; safe and comfortable but dull and utterly pointless.

The people you meet affect your life. The successes and downfalls that you experience can create whom you are, and the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact they are probably the most poignant and important ones. If someone hurts you, betrays you or breaks your heart, forgive them because they have helped you learn about trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart.

If someone loves you, love them back unconditionally, not only because they love you, but also because they are teaching you to love and open your heart and eyes to little things. Make every day count. Appreciate everything that you possibly can, for you may never experience it again.

Talk to people whom you have never talked to before, and actually listen. Let yourself fall in love, break free and set your sights high. Hold your head up because you have every right to.

Tell yourself you are a great individual and believe in yourself, for if you don't believe in yourself, no one else will believe in you. Create your own life and then go out and live it.

Defeat is not when you fall down
But it is when you refuse to get up!

"If you take your eyes off your goals, all you see is obstacles."

O Hansini

The original O Hansini RD Burman track sung by Kishore Kumar in Cartoon visuals... looks cool & sounds mesmerising!

O hansini meri hansini, kahan ud chali
mere armaanon ke, pankh lagaake kahan ud chali
o hansini meri hansini, kahan ud chali
mere armaanon ke, pankh lagaake kahan ud chali
o hansini meri hansini...
Aaja meri saanson mein mahek raha hein tera gajra
aaja meri raaton mein lahek raha re tera kajra
aaja meri saanson mein mahek raha hein tera gajra
aaja meri raaton mein lahek raha tera kajra
o hansini meri hansini, kahan ud chali
mere armaanon ke pankh lagaake kahan ud chali
o hansini meri hansini...
Der se laheron mein kamal sambhaale hue mann ka
jeevan taal mein bhatak raha hein tera hansa
ho, der se laheron mein kamal sambhaale hue mann ka
jeevan taal mein bhatak raha tera hansa
o hansini meri hansini, kahan ud chali
mere armaanon ke, pankh lagaake, kahan ud chali
o hansini, meri hansini, kahan ud chali
mere armaanon ke, pankh lagaake, kahan ud chali
o hansini meri hansini...

hey...

for the last one hour, i'v been listening this song from the film...jaane tu ya jaane na... repeatedly for many number of times to crack it down with a challenge!

it was real fun to extract what rashid ali had sung in that film.
here is the specimen of my dissection of the song... happy weekend!

kabhi kabhi adithi zindagi me yunhi koi apna lagtha hai
kabhi kabhi adithi wo bichad jaye to ik sapna lagtha hai
aise me koi kasie apane aansu ko bahene se roke
aur kaise koi soche ke everything gone be ok

kabhi kabhi to lage zindage me rahi na kushi aur na maza
kabhi kabhi to lage har din mushkil aur har pal ik saja
aise me koi kasie muskuraye kaise hasde khush hoke
aur kaise koi soch de everything gone be ok

soch zara jane jana tujhko hum kitana chahte hai
rote hai humbhi ager teri aanko me aansu aate hai
gan to ata nahi hai mager phirbhi hum gate hai
he adithi baad kabhi kabhi sare jahan me andhera hota hai
lekin rat ke baad hi tho sawera hota hai

kabhi kabhi adithi zindagi me yunhi koi apna lagtha hai
kabhi kabhi adithi wo bichad jaye to ik sapna lagtha hai
hey adithi haste haste haste haste haste haste haste tu jara
nahi to bus thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura

tu khush hai to lagi sare jahan me chayi hai khushi
suraj nikale badlose aur baate zindagi
tum to jara madhosh hawa tujse kahene lagi
ki adithi wo jo bichadte hai wo ik na ik din phir mil jate hai
adithi jane tu ya jane na fool phir khil jate hai

hey adithi haste haste haste haste haste haste haste tu jara
nahi to bus thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura
hey adithi haste haste haste haste haste haste haste tu jara
nahi to bus thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura
