Hitchcock blondes

During his interviews with Francois Truffaut, Hitchcock explained his preference for a certain kind of actress whose sex appeal is "indirect": "You know why I favor sophisticated blondes in my films? We're after the drawing-room type, the real ladies, who become whores once they're in the bedroom." [Triffaut:] "What intrigues you is the paradox between the inner fire and the cool surface." [Hitchcock:] "Definitely. . . . Do you know why? Because sex should not be advertised. . . . Because without the element of surprise the scenes become meaningless. There's no possibility to discover sex."

Pyar mujhse jo kiya to kyaa paaogee

A gazal by Jagjit singh, from movie Saath Saath
pyaar muz se jo kiyaa to kyaa paaogee
mere haalaat kee aandhee me, bikhar jaaogee

ranj aaur dard kee bastee kaa, main baashindaa hoo
ye to bas main hoo, ke is haal mein bhee jindaa hoo
khwaab kyoo dekhoo, kal jis pe main sharamindaa hoo
mai jo sharamindaa huaa, tum bhee to sharamaaogee

kyoo mere saath koee aaur pareshaan rahe
meree duniyaan hain jo wiraan to weeraan rahe
jindagee kaa ye safar tum pe to aasaan rahe
humasafar muz ko banaaogee to pachhataaogee

yek main kyaa abhee aayenge diwaane kitane
abhee gunjenge mohabbat ke taraane kitane
jindagee tum ko sunaayegee fasaane kitane
kyo samazatee ho muze bhool naheen paaogee

Main jindagi ka saath nibhata chala gaya

Nowdays listening to this song


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

Specially the lines:

Gham Aur Khushi Mein Farq Na Mehsoos Ho Jahan
Maein Dil Ko Us Muqaam Pe Laata Chala Ga

Liked by me and shailesh too much :)
Luv u Shailesh

Euphoria - Sone de maa

I don't know why but this song always reminds me of my roomie Gopal dwivedi :( Sorry!! Gual

Teri kahaani mein sacchayee jeeti sada,
Tu hi bata maa kya jhootha wo wishwaas tha,
Bikhri kyon maa mere sapna ka sansaar tha,

Lamha-lamha dhokha naya,
Tanha-tanha main thak gaya.

Sone de maa ab na jeena
Sone de maa ab na jeena
Sone de maa ab na jeena
Sone de maa ab na jeena

Sapna jo toota bhi, dekho main roya nahin,
Saaya jo toota bhi, khud ko main bhoola nahin,
Sadiyaan hui tere aanchal mein soya nahi.

Lamha-lamha jeeta jahaan,
Tanha-tanha main thak gaya.

Sone de maa ab na jeena
Sone de maa ab na jeena
Sone de maa ab na jeena
Sone de maa ab na jeena
Sone de maa ab na jeena
Sone de maa ab na jeena
Sone de maa ab na jeena
Sone de maa ab na jeena


Hmm..Well being an all time fan of Euphoria..I like all euphoria songs. Specially..this one...and waise hi..I don't if their lies something in the beats Ha I don't understand all this..This music and all but for me everything is there in the lyrics..Just listen to

Dil to dhadkta hai waise hi..
Aur muskarata hun main waise hi..
kal jo main tha ab main vo to nahi...
ese hi jeena hai to yahi sahi..

Its touching..ya its touching.

And how can I forget

Aankhein band kar lun to main dekhun bas tujhe..
khwabon main hi kah sakta hun apna tujhe...
kahne de taron ko kahani ankahi..
na ja abhi...
choti si ye baat hai ab na jaa ..
pyaar ki ye raat hai ab na jaa

Wish if I had a galfren would have used to make her senti ;)

And forgot one thing..I LOVE U GOPAL ;)

[Kalyug] Juda hoke bhi

juda hoke bhi tu mujhmein kahi baaki hai,
palkon mein banke aansu tu chali aati hai,

juda hoke bhi..

waise zinda hu zindagi bin tere main
dard hi dard baaki raha hai seene mein
saans lena bhar hi yaha jeena nahi hain
ab toh aadat si hai mujhko aaise jeene mein

juda hoke bhi tu mujhmein kahi baaki hai
palkon mein banke aansu tu chali aati hai

saath mere hain tu har pal shab ke andhere mein
paas mere hain tu ujale savere savere mein
dil se dhadkan bhula dena aasan nahi hai
ab toh aadat si hai mujhko aaise jeene mein

juda hoke bhi tu mujhmein kahi baaki hai
palkon mein banke aansu tu chali aati hai

ab toh aadat si hai mujhko aaise jeene mein
yeh jo yaadein hai ..
sabhi kaatein hai ..
katado inhe ..
ab toh aadat si hai mujhko

Well a friend of mine shailesh singh disappointed me because he didn't like the song :(

10 ways to lose your girl

Ahh just a result of a google search
  1. 'It's Not You, It's Me'
    No one knows what this means, but we know it's registered as a genuine excuse for getting out of relationships. It works on telly and seems to be accepted by lovers everywhere without too much question.
  2. 'I've Found Someone Else'
    This will certainly do the job but should only be employed whilst wearing a box.
  3. 'I've Found God And Am Embracing Celibacy'
    You‘ve got to be good for this one. And by that I mean bad. Could backfire if she decides to join you. Then you've got a girlfriend you don't want, who you can't even shag. That's hell on earth. Or marriage.
  4. Text Her
    UR DUMPD. SOZ. BIT FAT
  5. 'Have We Met?'
    Tell her you've developed amnesia and you have no idea who she is. You wish you could remember loving her and the alleged debt, but you simply can't. It's best for both of you not to see each other and, by the way, can you have Kill Bill back?
  6. Come On To Her Best Mate
    No, not that. Try to pull her BM in your least inhibited state. Will end your relationship and may have other benefits.
  7. Tell Her She's Too Good For You
    Almost certainly correct. But reserved for the connoisseurs of caddishness. Flattering, deceitful and unanswerable.

But still I would say breaking up is painful :) Wondering just 7 .. Ah just the indian version of the original text :D

Al pacino - Scent of a woman

Simply amazing atleast i liked it :)

Lt. Col. Frank Slade: Women! What can you say? Who made 'em? God must have been a fuckin' genius. The hair... They say the hair is everything, you know. Have you ever buried your nose in a mountain of curls... just wanted to go to sleep forever? Or lips... and when they touched, yours were like... that first swallow of wine... after you just crossed the desert. Tits. Hoo-ah! Big ones, little ones, nipples staring right out at ya, like secret searchlights. Mmm. Legs. I don't care if they're Greek columns... or secondhand Steinways. What's between 'em... passport to heaven. I need a drink. Yes, Mr Sims, there's only two syllables in this whole wide world worth hearing: pussy. Hah! Are you listenin' to me, son? I'm givin' ya pearls here.

If you're thinking of marrying

An interesting though trivial article ...

Just a list of questions for anyone contemplating marriage.

  1. Is the person your best friend or at least becoming so?
    It is easy to find a lover. It is easy to get excited about a new person. But if you cannot say that the person you are considering marrying has become or is becoming your best friend, you need to figure out why before you decide to marry. This is probably the single most overlooked question among couples, especially young ones.

    And for good reason. Many people cannot not answer this in the affirmative. But you have to answer it. Over time, friendship is the greatest bond between a couple. If the person you marry does not become your best friend, you will either seek someone who will be or simply drift apart.
    What is a best friend? Someone you can and do tell just about everything to. Someone you want to be with as much as possible. And someone you need. One of the most devastating ideas of the last generation was that needing or depending upon another person is a sign of weakness. The opposite is true. The inability to need is a sign of weakness -- you are afraid to relinquish power or afraid to be hurt.
  2. Aside from sex, do you enjoy each other?
    As great as the sex may be (and great sex certainly adds to a marriage), even Hugh Hefner spends the vast majority of time doing other things. You must enjoy this person during those hours. This sounds trite, but enjoying each other may actually be the single most important characteristic of a happy marriage.
  3. Is there chemistry between the two of you?
    As essential as being best friends and enjoying each other are, there should be a physical component to your relationship. Dating for marriage is not an interview for a platonic best friend. Nearly always, a woman who dates a man who meets the criteria listed here can grow to find him sexually attractive. If that were not the case, the majority of men would never attract a woman. There are very few men who turn heads. Most men become physically attractive to a woman thanks to other, masculine, qualities that they possess.
    Even for men it is common to find a woman physically attractive over time. In my late 20s, I directed a summer institute for men and women ages 19-25. After the first two summers, I began to play a game with myself. On the first night of the session, I made a mental note of which women I thought the most attractive and compared that list to one I made after the four weeks. The names on the latter list were rarely on the first-night list.
    Nevertheless, if there is insufficient physical attraction after all other criteria are met and time has passed, you may be in the tragic position of having to end a relationship with a great man or woman.
  4. Does the person have a number of good friends and at least one very close friend of the same sex?
    It is a bad sign if the person you are thinking of marrying does not have good friends (including of long duration) of the same sex. Something is very wrong. This alone should rule out the person from consideration. A woman who cannot hold female friends and a man who cannot hold male friends have issues that will probably sink your marriage.
  5. How does the person treat others?
    It should go without saying that if the person is not kind to you, quit while you can. But it is far from sufficient that the person you are considering marrying treats you kindly. Watch how he or she treats waitresses, employees, family members and anyone else he/she comes into contact with. I promise you how the person treats others now is how this person will treat you later.

Exams finished

Wow exams finished... Really had a tough time this end sems and screwed up so much that beyond that was possibly impossible.

So what is it now? Watched Main meri patni and voh yesterday Watched Hanuman in the morning today...After that long awaited Shawshank Redemption...Finally got time to watch that one..Really a nice movie indeed one of the best flicks I have seen but surely not the best. Ah thats my way of judging.

Maine Gandhi ko nahi maara was the next one. Long back in psychology i had a chance to go through a research paper in which they claimed that after an exposure to a particular stereotype say elderly may activate relevant traits. And last night i really felt so after seeing this movie. Ah..that strange and frightened walk of Anupam kher starring as Prof. Utaam chatterjee.

Well after that Before Sunset, sequel of Before Sunrise, this one I think is better than its prequel mainly because it's shorter so don't get bored seeing the two faces whole of the movie talking to each other, and sometimes talking really non-sense.

Ha will have some more movies this month
