Tere Bin...

An awesome song. Sung by a pakistani singer Atif. And damn! what a voice.

Tere Bin main yun kaisay jiya
kaisay jia tere bin
tere bin main yun kaisay jiya
kaisay jiya tere bin

Lay ker yaadain teri raatain meri katti
lay ker yaadain teri raatain meri katti
mujh say baatain teri kerti hain chandni
tanha hai tujh bin raatain meri
din mere din kay jaisay nahi
tanha badan tanha hai
nam meri aankhain rahaya ja mere ab rubaru
jeena nahi bin tere

tere bin main yun kaisay jiya
kaisay jiya tere bin
tere bin main yun kaisay jiya
kaisay jiya tere bin

kab say aankhain meri rah may tere bichi
kab say aankhain meri rah may tere bichi
bhulay say hi kabhi tu mil jaye kahin
bhulay na mujh say baatain teri
bheegi hain her pal aankhain meri
kiun saans loonkiun main jiyu
jeena bura sa lagay
kiun ho gaya tu baiwafa mujh ko bata day waje

tere bin main yun kaisay jiya
kaisay jiya tere bin
tere bin main yun kaisay jiya
kaisay jiya tere bin

Children of Heaven

Is a “Must watch”….!

Set in a Iranian backdrop, its tells a story of a impoverished brother, Ali and his sister, Zahra. Ali manages to lose his sister’s shoes. Since the father doesn’t get his pay until the end of every month, it becomes their secret lest the father loans money from someone. And so, the plan is to share a pair of shoes to go to school until their father can buy Zahra one.

Every morning Zahra would wear ‘em and after school would run back to an alley where Ali would wait for her. A quick change of shoes and then Ali would dart his way to school, until one day when the sports coach of Ali’s school announces a long distance running competition. And the third runner up would get a pair of shoes. Ali gets to participate and promises Zahra that no matter what, he would win the 3rd position and get the shoes exchanged for a pair for her.
But luck had something else stored. He doesn’t win the 3rd position but comes first. With his head hung in shame, he poses for a series of photographs as the winner of the race. When he comes home, he can’t bring himself to look at his sister.

The scene shifts to the father who is coming back home from work and tucked in the seater of the cycle, are two new pairs of shoes for his son and daughter.

This movie took you away from the confusion our silver screens usually create. There was no violence, no dazzling lights, no melodrama. It helped u see the lost side of the world. A brother's responsibility, a sister's understanding, compromise, compassion and trust in each other, the ability to live for others. This movie celebrated the true human spirit, something we have forgotten.

Meee??? I'm fine, REALLY!

We all love our worlds. Seperate from the others, better not to divulge too much - u kno, like the basic protection policy of a computer. Install a reliable Anti-virus to make sure the hard disc doesn't crash. And dont u forget to update it!!! The newer version is a better block.

But we forget something, always. We are NOT COMPUTERS. We are humans who fortunately or unfortunately, have been designed to feel a lot more. There is more to us than pain, anguish, hurt, fear, defeat, dissappointment. There IS love. There IS compassion, loyalty, happiness, trust, joy, satisfaction, success, sunshine, peace of mind. There are HAPPY feelings too. Then why do we only concentrate on the unhappy elements and mould ourselves accordingly. To make sure we dont feel the 6 "wrongs' that WILL happen in life, we forget that there are more than 10 "rights" we should be living for and with.
  1. The conversion rate is better; 1: 1.7. For every 1 "wrong", i have a 1.7 "right".
  2. My GM's are better as well; they are at 40%

( I can't think of the other calculations to prove my point)

Not that i m d perfect example. I want to be able to talk about my stuff freely, to the ones i want to. Without inhibition. I want them to do the same as well. If i take the step, will they. I dont know. I just wish i did.

But we are strong enough to deal with anything, right? Or wrong? And don't worry about me... I'm fine, REALLY!!!!
