Shayari from zindagi na milegi dobara

Jab jab dard ka baadal chaya
Jab ghum ka saya lehraya
Jab aansoo palkon tak aya
Jab yeh tanha dil ghabraya
Humne dil ko yeh samjhaya
Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai
Duniya mein yunhi hota hai
Yeh jo gehre sannate hain
Waqt ne sabko hi baante hain
Thoda ghum hai sabka qissa
Thodi dhoop hai sabka hissa
Aankh teri bekaar hi nam hai
Har pal ek naya mausam hai
Kyun tu aise pal khota hai
Dil aakhir tu kyun rota hai




Ik baat honton tak hai jo aayi nahin
Bas ankhon say hai jhaankti
Tumse kabhi, mujhse kabhi
Kuch lafz hain woh maangti
Jinko pehanke honton tak aa jaaye woh
Aawaaz ki baahon mein baahein daalke ithlaye woh
Lekin jo yeh ik baat hai
Ahsas hi ahsas hai
Khushboo si hai jaise hawa mein tairti
Khushboo jo be-aawaaz hai
Jiska pata tumko bhi hai
Jiski khabar mujhko bhi hai
Duniya se bhi chupta nahin
Yeh jaane kaisa raaz hai



Pighlay neelam sa behta hua yeh samaan
Neeli neeli si khamoshiyaan
Na kahin hai zameen
Na kahin aasmaan
Sarsaraati huyi tehniyaan, pattiyaan
Keh rahi hain ki bas ek tum ho yahaan
Sirf main hoon meri saansein hain aur meri dhadkanein
Aisi gehraiyaan
Aisi tanhaiyaan
Aur main sirf main
Apne honay pe mujhko yaqeen aa gaya



Dilon mein tum apni betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho, toh zinda ho tum
Hawa ke jhokon ke jaise aazad rehna seekho
Tum ek dariya ke jaise lehron mein behna seekho
Har ek lamhe se tum milo khole apni baahein
Har ek pal ek naya samaa dekhe yeh nigaahein
Jo apni aankhon mein hayraniyan leke chal rahe ho, toh zinda ho tum
Dilon mein tum apni betaabiyan leke chal rahe ho, toh zinda ho tum.

Chechi

It was almost after 10 years i rediscovered Chechi in the wilderness of wayanad. One of her movies was playing in a theater and the tag line read "mole shakeele etadi padam "
Suddenly i was drawn back to the time when i was in high school in 8th grade when her movie posters had become a rage in kerala.The name shakeela had become synonymous to sex.People who shared the name felt ashamed and were humiliated. i still remember once in an overcrowded bus a man got down at his stop and was waiting for his wife but she dint come out she was somewhere inside the bus unaware of the place.People were urging him to call her name and tell her to come out but he stuck to just "di eragivaa"(hey come out).Then the conductor crawled out of the bus and asked for his wife's name , he hesitated and then said "shakeela".Then the bus went berserk people were gigglin and then some morons shouted "bussil shakeela undu avale erakki vidoo"(there is shakeela in the bus please let her go).Quickly a woman got up and dashed out of the bus, embarrassed and offended...
In my city there was a theater exclusively for her movies, it was her temple. Every evening it would be crowded with devotees.Honestly, i also wanted to watch one of those movies, especially one named "driving school", i was turned on by its poster that had shakeela sitting in the driver seat,caressing the steering,showing ample amount of cleavage and all geared up for a 'ride'.But i was scared to go and watch ; all i could do was drool over its poster.I never saw the movie maybe that is one of the reasons that i cannot still drive a car!!.Once one of her movies came on tv and i was alone at home.The movie called 'kinnarathumbikal' she was seducin a young boy in the movie just what the doctor ordered!
Boy:"chechi ithellam thettalle chechi"(chechi isnt this a sin?)
Chechi:"thettu cheyyathathu aarundu mone ee lokathu"(who hasnt sinned in this world my son)
These words from her lips made me realize that Chechi was not just about phallocentric eroticism,she was a teacher and moreover a philosopher.With these lines she blew away the guilty feeling i used to have when i watch erotic material.She laid strong foundations in me and helped me move into 'deeper waters' with ease.
After that i laid hands on exotic material and forgot about her completely until now when i saw this poster in wayanad, all the memories came gallopin back.Even years after her retirement her movies provide bread and butter to these senile single screen theaters in this multiplex era.It is because of her that the b grade movie industry in kerala much more viable that that of any other state.Her movies were dubbed to different languages.Her 'swargavaathil' came as 'jannat ka darwaza' and 'charasundari' as 'shitani aurat'.She was the most successful heroine of her time in kerala , her movies fought against the male dominated mainstream cinema in the state.When katrina and kareena are battlin for size zero shakeela achieved everything without even steppin on a treadmill.Yes, they wont name their kids after her and i dont think she cares about that coz she is enviably immortalized in the hearts of men, plunderin their dreams sometimes as a bucolic temptress and sometimes as an exotic spy....... LONG LIVE CHECHI....

A soulful celebration

First and foremost Javed saabs shayari saves zindagi na milegi dobara from becoming another one of the "kya patha kal ho na ho" ilk and transforms it into a celebration of life!!!
Three friends on a road trip to enjoy life does sound a bit like dil chahta hain but Zoya adds her own essence and serves a completely different dish.But you do feel that Saif Akshay and Aamir were much more cheerful and dynamic compared to Hrithik farhan and abhay.Not taking anything away from them;they have done sincere and pleasing work and keeps you occupied,especially Farhan who retains a smile on your lips throughout the movie.Hrithik (no matter how many times one says this)looks stunnin.He is the only person who looks as good as the spanish panorama.Yes his acting looks artificial and lacks depth at crucial junctures but we forgive him for he has pleased our eyes like no other.Katrina has a role which suits her perfectly(meaning a role in which she has to look good and smile ,acting is not mandatory)Kalki delivers the portrayal of a possessive and capricious girl with ease. She might not be pretty but there is something agreeable in her appearance.
Its zoya who runs the movie giving each character the time and space required to grow, not getting obsessed with katrina or hrithik, ably assisted by her fathers poetry and good cinematography. But the music is a big let down, it is uninspiring and bland. Shankar ehsaan loy have lost it , its been ages since we heard a mitwa from them.
The movie urges you to swim like a fish ,fly like a bird and run like a beast.The endin leaves you with a thirst for life.Suddenly bollywood cinema is alive and kicking!!!
