DIAMOND: Some myths and truths revealed
I was always wondering that why Diamond is so precious stone. Why do people buy it? When most of us have no idea what carat means, why do we spend money on diamonds? Why are they a 'girl's best friend'? And if diamonds are so precious and valuable, why are they so difficult to re-sell?
Diamonds are indeed, forever.
I was quite desperated to know. So finally whatever I got to quench my thirst is here for you.
Most diamonds are over a billion years old, and have been brought to us by volcanic eruptions from hundreds of miles beneath the Earth's surface. Used for thousands of years as precious stones, but are they the most precious? Hardly. The idea that diamonds are rare and valuable is a relatively recent marketing idea by the diamond trade. In the past, diamonds were indeed relatively rare and found mainly in a few parts of Southern India and Brazil. But in 1870, new mines yielding tons of diamonds were opened in South Africa.Indeed, you may be surprised to learn that even through diamond production has increased in recent years, it is estimated that as little as 500 tons have ever been mined in recorded history to date. Of diamonds mined today, approximately 50% are judged to be of gem quality. Even fewer are large enough to be polished into diamonds that are much bigger than the head of a match.
To protect their investment, financiers of mining operations created a tight cartel, regulating the production, pricing and marketing of the stones. But they have done more than just protect their commercial interests; through clever marketing, they have led us to believe that the diamond is a romantic token, that it represents love-eternal, and that the diamond is forever. So don't ever try to sell one, or you will break the love spell.
After seeing diamonds worn by stars like Bette Davis, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor in romantic movies, people just had to own diamonds if they were to have any chance of being equally glamorous. They were, and still are, cleverly pushed through high-society magazines.
But there is no magical love element in a diamond. In reality, a diamond is just a carbon crystal that somebody has dug out of a dirty mine. In Africa especially, as shown by Leonardo DiCaprio in the movie Blood Diamonds, labour is cheap, working conditions unhealthy and dangerous, and the mines are often far from miners' homes. Whilst mining camps do provide simple accommodation for the workers, no provision is made for their families. Consequently HIV from camp sex-workers is common. Even less glamorous are places like Surat in Gujarat, India, where 90% of all cut and polished diamonds are produced by child labourers1 or worse2. De Beers, by far the most significant member of the cartel, is fully aware of this situation and has made great efforts to improve things recently.
"Blood D
iamonds" (Leonardo DiCaprio, 2006)
And not before time. For decades, De Beers suffered a bad image for its price fixing and slave-labour production methods. But now they are gradually embracing CSR. In 2002 they introduced an employee health and wellness initiative and in 2003 they started a drug treatment programme. In 2004, they pleaded guilty to criminal price fixing and paid an $8.2m fine, enabling them to have direct access to the US diamond market. In 2005 they signed an agreement with Attawapiskat First Nation people in Canada before mining on reservation land.

"Die A
nother Day" (Pierce Brosnan, 2002)
But the trade is still bad news for too many people. One problem with diamonds is their abundance, not scarcity. Traditionally, whenever a new source of diamonds is discovered (e.g. Russia, Australia, Canada), the cartel has been able to maintain control. In the days of the British Empire, it was relatively easy to directly control places like Africa. But now these countries have their independence, the diamond companies have had to use careful and astute management to survive and prosper into the 21st century. And they have been helped to a large extent by the United Nations. To stem the flow of funds to terrorist groups and politically unstable central and west African states, the U.N. Security Council has conveniently imposed a global ban on illicit trade in 'conflict diamonds' i.e. trade not controlled by the cartel3, an initiative known as the Kimberley Process.
Fortunately, 'conflict diamonds' have almost disappeared now, due to the negative publicity, rigid controls, and the ending of the civil wars that raged across the African continent. However, the rapidly developing economies of places like China and India are pushing up demand for diamonds, so there is still pressure to get more rocks dug, polished and prepared by slave labour. The Kimberley Process may need to widen its scope from mining to processing.
But whether or not the diamonds in the High Street are cut and polished by a slave child, whether or not the miner contracted TB from the poor working conditions, and whether or not the proceeds will add to the coffers of Al-Qaeda, people will still buy diamonds.
Because people believe, diamonds are the best way of saying "I love you, forever."

बहुत दिनों के बाद वो बारिश का मौसम आया
जिसका इंतज़ार पलता है मुझे किसी सपने की तरह
मैं एक दिन पहले ही ख्वाब में ढूँढ लेती हूँ
बारिश की उन् बिखरी हुई बूंदों को
मैं मुस्कुराती हूँ किसी बच्चे की तरह
मैं मन ही मन खिलखिलाती हूँ
खिड़की के बाहर देखती हूँ उन् चेहरों को
गीली मिटटी में सने जो आईने से लगते है
छोटी सी कागज़ की कश्ती बना कर जिसमें
शहर भर की सैर किया करते थे
वो खुली आंखों से खूबसूरत ख्वाब बुनना
कल आने वाली बातों में आज का खोना
हर बरसात दिल में कुछ अरमान जगाती है
सोई हुई ख्वाहिशों की प्यास बुझाती है
मैं खुश हूँ की जो आज बारिश ने समां बाँधा है
देख रही हूँ दिल में धड़कन का प्रवाह कुछ ज्यादा है ।
Jokes of the day!!!!
See the Indian Guts!
They started the topic that whose soldier had more of guts.
The American general called for one of his men and told him to jump down the ship and take a round swimming around the moving ship. The soldier did as he was told. When he came back from the water the American said -- "See the guts!"
Now the German general called out for one of his men and asked him to take two similar rounds. The soldier did as he was told. When he came back from the water the German said -- "See the guts!".
Now the Indian General called out for his most courageous man and asked him to take five similar rounds. The soldier promptly replied,"Tere baap ka naukar hooon kya?????." At this the general proudly said, "See the guts!!"
Mallu Interview
A "Mallu" female (from the heart of Kerala) went for a job interview for the post of a SECRETARY.

So he told her, "If You could form a sentence using the words that I give you, then may be I will give you a chance! The words are GREEN, PINK, YELLOW, BLUE, WHITE, PURPLE and BLACK."
The enthusiastic Mallu lady thought for a while and said: "I hear the phone GREEN GREEN GREEN, then I go and PINK up the phone,I say YELLOW..... BLUE's that? WHITE did you say? Aiye, Wrong number.. ... Don't PURPLELY disturb people and don't call BLACK, yokeeyy? Thank you."
The Manager fainted.....

There was a good old barber in Mumbai. One day a florist goes to him for a haircut. After the cut, he goes to pay the barber and the barber replies: I am sorry, I cannot accept money from you; I am doing a Community Service. Florist is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, there is a "Thank You" Card and a dozen roses waiting at his door.
A Confectioner goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber. He again refuses to take the money. The Confectioner is happy and leaves the shop. The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, there is another "Thank you" Card and a dozen Cakes waiting at his door.
A Software Engineer goes for a haircut and he also goes to pay the barber again refuses the money saying that it was a community service. The next morning when the Barber goes to open his shop, guess what he finds there.A Dozen Software engineers waiting for a free haircut... with Printouts of forwarded mail mentioning about free haircut.

There is hardly any other movie Girish Karnad has been imprinted in my mind since childhood,That's Cheluvi in Hindi and Flowering Tree in English।
Year released 1992, This particular movie premiered on DD Channel and it was during the Children's Film Festival.Its amazing that DD still has its own pocketful of surprises when it comes to movies like these.Its about a girl who has mystical powers to turn into a fragile tree but at the same time yield some exotic and rare flowers,She would be lovingly tended by her sister,This was a secret and no body knew the origin of the flowers,however any one who smelled the flowers would love to buy them again and again,this happened to Kumar who was obsessed with these flowers he decides to buy the whole basket from the sisters.Kumar falls in love with Cheluvi. Kumar coaxes cheluvi to let out her little secret. Cheluvi is reluctant but yet gives away the secret to Kumar,who takes her to the private pool and tends to her as she becomes a tree,her flowers drop into the pool but the flowing water carries out the flowers along with them and the children of the house also wittness her becoming a tree.The children later force her into the forest,and break her branches when she becomes a tree. And run away abandoning Cheluvi,Cheluvi is unable to regain her human form due to the missing branches.A poor wood cutter notices her plight in the forest and carries her home.Kumar misses his wife and is depressed,Cheluvi requests the wood cutter to place her in front of her husband house,People witness the freak of nature,And finally kumar realises that it is his wife lying in the courtyard.Cheluvi says that she will be able to regain her human form if he is able to find her missing branches.Over joyed kumar decides to take her into the forest,but to his despair many trees are felled and he is unable to get her branches.There is sadness on their faces and the movie ends.

This movie has a lot of hidden messages - A strong message against deforestation, About a essence of a woman, her nature of giving , Cheluvi would earn a living with her sister by selling these flowers yet she lived for her sister. When she married she gave her self to her husband letting out her deepest secret and to the level of sharing this with the little children who promised to take care of her but on the contrary abused her. Its about the different roles a woman plays,But ultimately portraying her giving nature.This movie also has a spiritual touch of some sort,It also creates a fragrance in your mind about the flower even though you haven't smelled it, The village atmosphere and the forest setting that some people would like to go back to.
There were some painful moments when cheluvi’s husband is searching for the branches to rejuvenate his wife. This human way of representation of tree-life is really fantastic.I feel that you should see this movie once.

LOVE AFFAIRS OF ACTRESS MADHUBALA
Madhubala was born on 14th february 1933 which was a Valentines Day to a pathan family. It is a great 
coincidence that such a luminous beauty was born on Valentines Day. It seems that those women who are born on Valentines Day and who are also very beautiful are bound to have lots of love affairs during their lifetime. Madhubalas father Attaulla Khan, an orthodox Pathan was very possessive of Madhubala. She was under clutches all her life. Madhubalas real name was Mumtaz Jahan Begum nicknamed as Majhlee Appa. She was born in poverty and was 5th child of 11 children. It was Madhubalas tragedy that she was diagnosed with a hole in her heart during her early childhood. Her father hid this fact from film producers. She even went to England for treatment. But as she was in advanced stage and as Doctors could not perform any surgery she had to come back to India without any treatment. Due to her fathers obsession of not allowing her to mingle with anybody she never found true love during her lifetime. He followed her right from his home to studios and back. She used to keep a diary on daily basis where she used to keep acurate account of daily events of her life.This diary could have unfolded many of Madhubalas secrets, especially about her love life. But unfortunately her father decided to bury her diary along with her in her grave.

It seems that those women who are born on Valentines Day and who are also very beautiful are bound to have lots of love affairs during their lifetime. Madhubalas father Attaulla Khan, an orthodox Pathan was very possessive of Madhubala. She was under clutches all her life. Madhubalas real name was Mumtaz Jahan Begum nicknamed as Majhlee Appa. She was born in poverty and was 5th child of 11 children. It was Madhubalas tragedy that she was diagnosed with a hole in her heart during her early childhood. Her father hid this fact from film producers. She even went to England for treatment. But as she was in advanced stage and as Doctors could not perform any surgery she had to come back to India without any treatment. Due to her fathers obsession of not allowing her to mingle with anybody she never found true love during her lifetime. He followed her right from his home to studios and back. She used to keep a diary on daily basis where she used to keep acurate account of daily events of her life.This diary could have unfolded many of Madhubalas secrets, especially about her love life. But unfortunately her father decided to bury her diary along with her in her grave.Some of her love affairs are with:
Childhood Friend Latif: Latif lived in Delhi. while moving from Delhi to Mumbai madhubala gave him a red rose: an indication of her love. He had kept this rose till she died and placed on her grave 30 years later. Now a retired IAS officer, he still goes to her grave on 23rd February and places a red rose on it.
Director Kidar Sharma: He gave her first break in his film. It was a love at first sight. She never reciprocates him as she thought that if she waits somewhat longer she may find a better person.
Director Kamal Amrohi: The Magic formula of film Mahal directed by Kamal Amrohi worked becoz the director and heroine were in deep love with each other. Father Attaullah khan had no objection on this affair. They may have gotten married but for possessive mind of Madhubala amrohi was a Muslim. And Islam allowed upto 4 wives provided that first wife gave consent to her husband for second marriage. She offered him lakhs of rupees and insisted that he leave his first wife. But Amrohi remained loyal to his first wife and told Madhubala bluntly that he may be selling dialogue stories to film industry, but cannot sell his wife and children and nor his conscience! So she broke off with him,never to see him again. However Amrohi got married to Mina Kumari(The Tragedy Queen) later.
A
ctor Premnath: Film Badal was the first movie of Madhubala with Premnath as hero. On the first day of shooting, before shooting started, Madhubala entered makeup room of Premnath and quickly handed him a fully blossomed red rose and a note. Puzzled Premnath read the note which said if you love me, please accept the rose, otherwise return it. Premnath was stunned. Without hesitation, Premnath accepted the rose and tucked it into the button hole of his coat and said to her Kubool hai, Kubool hai. After few weeks they broke off. Reason was a mystery as it had started from Madhubala's side. Later on Premnath came to know she did the same with Ashok Kumar. Then he got furious and decided not to see her again.

en she was just 17 years old. Her father started to worry that if Madhubala gets married to Dilip Kumar,he would loose the financial support that Madhubala offered to Khans entire family as she was the sole breadwinner for Attaullah Khan family.It has been said that Dilip Kumar had insisted that if they were to marry, Madhubala would have to break all ties with her family. However their relationship continued for number of years. Finally they broke off due to her father huge impositions.

However their relationship continued for number of years. Finally they broke off due to her father huge impositions.During the controversial period of B.R chopra's film Naya Daur in which Madhubala was dropped and was replaced by Vyjayantimala, love between the couple got revealed to the public as Dilip Kumar declared in the court that he loved Madhubala and will continue to love her until his death. Finally they broke off due to her father huge impositions and this whole court drama.
Then came K.Asifs Mugal-e-Azam. Madhubala had to fulfill this contract despite her broken relationship with Dilip Kumar. The film took incredible 10 years to complete and ironically followed the graph of their romantic affair. Dilip Kumar was very bitter and was not even talking to Madhubala except when shooting required a dialogue delivery with her. Under these conditions, it is remarkable that Madhubala Maintained her composure and gave her best for the film with her superb acting. Film Mughal-e-Azam immortalized Madhubala.
Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto(Former Priminister of Pakistan): Bhutto used to visit the sets of Mu
gal-e-Azam in Mumbai studios just to see Madhubala. Especially, on the sets when the song Mohe Panghat Pe Nandlal Ched Gayo re was being picturized. Although he was not part of Mumbai film industry but obsessed with Madhubalas beauty. After few years he left Mumbai and settled pemanently in Sind,Pakistan.

Actor/Singer Kishore Kumar: Soon after Madhubala's break up with Dilip Kumar she mar
ried acor/singer Kishore Kumar. Madhubala needed stability in her life and Kishore at that time needed financial help. Madhubala had severe health problems and had no time to take care of his financial problems. Eventually song Mere Sapno Ki Rani from film Aradhana clicked after which Kishore Kumar never looked back. Madhubala's terminal illness confined her to her house which caused huge amounts of tension between the married couple. Madhubala passed away on Feb 23,1969 on a Sunday Morning when she had just turned 36 years old.
With her personal diary buried in her grave,we will never know what real Madhubala was. In the end,one can sum up her life as an unfinished melody. Here i have given a link a must watch.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5mAUmFusrXs
Bollywood babes and their thing for second hand husbands..
I have often mulled over this and it doesn‘t seem like just another co-incidence to me. What keeps me wondering is the fact that most Bollywood heroines have this major thing going for either married or divorced men!And mind you, it‘s not a new phenomenon. Years back, Shabana Azmi married Javed Akhtar who left Honey Irani and children Farhan and Zoya to be with her. Soni Razdan chose to be the second wife of the director who gave her the only good roles of her career- Mahesh Bhatt (show of gratitude, should we say?)
Dream girl Hema Malini broke many hearts when she hitched her wagon with the much married Dharmendra who had a wife and two grown up sons to look after.In fact, South Indian heroines coming to Bollywood had become ‘in‘ famous for ‘stealing other women‘s husbands.‘ Jaya Prada had got married to Srikanth Nahata who was not single either. Before that, Vyjantimala married Dr. Bali, a married man, after an alleged affair with the happily married (or so they thought) Raj Kapoor. Earlier, the legendary love affair of Raj Kapoor and Nargis became a much discussed subject!

Before that, Vyjantimala married Dr. Bali, a married man, after an alleged affair with the happily married (or so they thought) Raj Kapoor. Earlier, the legendary love affair of Raj Kapoor and Nargis became a much discussed subject!In the mid 90s, I remember many die hard fans hoped their once upon a time num
ero uno heroine Sridevi with a ‘career on the slowdown mode‘ needed to settle down fast, as her biological clock was ticking away(guess she was hitting her late 30s then). And man how she did! She hooked up with Boney Kapoor who was married to (and still is) Mona Shourie and also happened to be the brother of her prolific co star, Anil Kapoor. The so called strict bigamy rules in India be damned!Before that there were rumours that she had secretly married and divorced Mithun Chakraborthy, the husband of Yogeeta Bali.
And then there was Juhi Chawla who was linked up to Neetu Singh‘s ‘perfect husband‘ Rishi Kapoor( not sure whether they were just rumours or something was actually cooking up between the two, but as they say there is no smoke without fire) and later chose to marry widower industrialist Jai Mehta, some say to honour what was the last wish of her mother. Juhi somehow manages to continue with her good girl image on and off the screen!
When Mahima Chaudhury‘s pregnancy made much news, she revealed to the world that she was married to divorcee father Bobby Mukherjee in the US.
Rani Mukerji and Aditya Chopra‘s alleged affair which led to a ‘roka‘ ceremony (or whatever!) and Adi‘s separation from wife Payal whom his parents really liked, has created enough turmoil and disturbance in the household as well as the Yash Raj office
And serial dater Sushmita Sen has a long history with married men. Her affair with Vikram Bhatt almost broke up his home, and then there was Sanjay Narang and more lately Manav Menon. Amisha Patel took up where Sushmita left. She fought with her folks, shared her home and hearth with Vikram Bhatt for years until the recent break up and her discovery of Mr Right in London.Priyanka Chopra‘s affair with Akshay Kumar threatened his marriage with Twinkle Khanna big time.

As for once upon a time oomph babe Urmila Matondkar, rumours are still rife that she was once actually or almost married to Ram Gopal Varma and later dated a married guy with a big time jewellery business.
Kiran Rao was no actress but an assistant director. But filmdom‘s heady charms got the better of her and she aptly followed the footsteps of our leading ladies by getting bowled over by Bollywood‘s only intellectual actor Aamir Khan. Ditto for Jessica Heines, who came all the way from Britain to write about Bollywood and allegedly had an illegitimate son Jaan with Aamir.
The latest to join the bandwagon is Shilpa Shetty who was nonexistent on our radars till something called ‘Big Brother‘ happened. She is seeing the separated Raj Kundra after surviving huge link ups rumours with her married director Anubhav Sinha in the past.
And as everybody is awar
e, Kareena Kapoor had a huge public break up with long time beau Shahid Kapur and landed up in the arms of Saif Ali Khan the one with an elderly wife Amrita, two kids and an Italian girlfriend in his track record. And who can forget that Bebo‘s special something for Hrithik Roshan some years back was keeping his dear wife Sussanne terribly unhappy for long.

And who can forget that Bebo‘s special something for Hrithik Roshan some years back was keeping his dear wife Sussanne terribly unhappy for long.If you go to look at it, among top stars of today only Aishwarya( she never really dated any hitched men) and Madhuri( regardless of the affair with Sanjay Dutt) have settled down with bachelors.
So what‘s with Bollywood babes choosing married men for marriage or romance? I have actually read one of them explain it famously; "It‘s all about their experience of life. They have seen it all. Their ability to understand you, pamper you and not repeat the same mistake is alluring to women. It‘s dangerous ground to tread. But perhaps this is the most defining moment in a woman‘s life." "These heroines too have seen it all. They have gone through things like the casting couch which is an open secret in the industry. So these married and experienced men are good match for them. As simple as that."
Or should we be blaming the men going through major mid life crises in their lives, for leading these pretty and glamorous girls astray? Do they feel good about being seen with the perfect arm candies?It‘s Bollywood and everything here gets complicated. I have found no proper explanation yet. I still keep wondering and speculating.
Rakhi and Yash Raj...The next big Tamasha?
Get ready to witness some ‘Rakhi drama‘, Technicolor, dolby, big screen and all. The dramatic trauma queen or was that traumatic drama queen, has been signed by Yash Raj to play her almost too real, real life role- that of a nautankiwali. Art imitating life or life imitating art or just a really bad joke on the audience? Regardless, its time for a double whammy celebration bash, as this film marks the entry of Rakhi into the Yash Raj camp! And Rakhi would be sharing screen space with Shahid Kapoor and Rani Mukerji, no less. b
which one of her avatars is scarier? Happy-Rakhi will jump your bones, sad-Rakhi will mud-sling till the cows come home and leave again because of all her screaming and miffed Rakhi will slap people in public, give more interviews than Mahesh Bhatt and bring up the ‘I‘m being mistreated because I don‘t have a filmy God-father‘ spiel till we all know it verbatim. Anyhow, this upcoming, yet untitled venture will be directed by Anurag Singh who earlier assisted Sanjay Gadhvi in ‘Dhoom: 2‘. The source says, "Rakhi will be playing the character of a dancer from ‘Bhand Samaj‘ who does nautanki on the streets and entertains people. She will also be dancing in marriages and her character in the movie is a really important role. She gets a lot of space in the second half of the film. Rakhi bagged this role because of her dancing skills and because the role required a girl like her." A girl like her? The‘Pardesia‘ dance number, ‘Big Boss‘ and ‘Nach Baliye 3‘ changed quite a few things for her. She is clearly getting noticed by top film makers. K Jo‘s ‘Koffee with Karan‘ happened and Rakhi has also recently shot for an item song in Rakesh Roshan‘s ‘Krazzy 4‘. And boy, all these controversies keep her going in a big way. Like her major fall out with live- in boy friend Abhishek Awasthi, after which she kicked him out of her house and his public apology to her where she also got a chance to slap him on national television. That‘s women power, Rakhi style! Now with Rakhi‘s gradual rise in status, there are more reasons for Abhishek to stay back with her and double up as her secretary too. Abhishek is happy playing the perfect sidekick. And considering his skill set, that‘s the role of a lifetime for him!History of CHESS!!
The game of chess is thought to have originated in what is now northern India or Afganistan sometime before 6OO AD: the oldest written references to chess date from then, but there are unverified claims that chess existed as early as 100 AD. Interest in chess followed early trade routes out of India. One variation of chess (called Shogi) is now popular in Japan; another variation is played in China. Many local variations in chess rules persist even today in isolated rural areas, for example in India.The first international chess tournament was the London Tourney of 1851, won by Adolf Anderssen of Germany, who then became known UNOFFICIALLY as the world's best chess player, though he did not receive any award or title.
The first great American-born chess player was Paul Morphy, of Irish ancestry, who lived in the civil war er
a. He travelled to Europe in the 185O's, beating all challengers, including Adolf Anderssen. However, the English champion of the time (Staunton) refused to play, so Morphy never became a world chess champ.The first OFFICIAL championship chess tournament was played in 1866, also in London, with sandclocks to restrict the length of a game. This tournament was won by Steinitz, a Bohemian (Czechoslovakian) Jew, who then became the world's first OFFICIAL chess champion, holding this title until 1894.
Emanuel Lasker, an American born in Germany, also Jewish, became champion by defeating Steinitz
, remaining champion until 1921, at which time Jose Capablanca, a Cuban, took the title until 1927. Many people today consider Capablanca as one of the top 3 chess players who ever lived, the others being Morphy and Bobby Fischer. Fischer is still alive and recently played another former world champion (Boris Spassky) in Belgrade, Yugoslavia; Fischer, shown to the right at about age 14, when he became US champion, is the first native-born U.S. citizen to have held the title of World Chess Champ.

most good chess players have been citizens of the former USSR, and include: Anatoli Karpov, and Gary Kasparov.A dispute over tournament procedures between Kasparov and the international chess organization F.I.D.E. had resulted effectively in TWO world co-champions: Karpov and Kasparov. Recently, however, Vishy Anand (bottom right) has won the F.I.D.E. championship and is seen by most as the world's chess champ

अगर हम कहें और वो मुस्कुरा दे - सुदर्शन फकीर
अगर हम कहें और वो मुस्कुरा दे
हम उनके लिए जिंदगानी लुटा दे
हर एक मोड़ पर हम गमो को सज़ा दे
चलो ज़िंदगी को मोहब्बत बना दे
अगर ख़ुद को भूले टू कुछ भी न भूले
की चाहत में उनकी खुदा को भुला दे
कभी गम की आंधी जिन्हें छू न पाई
वफाओ के हम वो नशेमन बना दे
क़यामत के दीवाने कहते है हमसे
चलो उनके चहरे से परदा हटा दे
सज़ा दे सिला दे बना दे मिटा दे
मगर वो कोई फैसला टू सुना दे.

A Worth Watch: Jodha Akbar
Jodhaa Akbar is a love story between the Mughal emperor, Akbar (Hrithik Roshan), and a Rajput princess, Jodhaa (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan) during the sixteenth century. With great power and balance of strenght and wit, Emperor Akbar soon extended his empire to extend from Afghanistan to the Bay of Bengal, and from the Himalayas to the Godavari River. And on the way made friends with the Rajputs, the most belligerent Hindus. But unware of the storm that was going to be brought into his life when he married Jodhaa, Rajput princess. Which started Akbar on the new adventure of his life, the adventure of true love.
Another great film from Ashutosh, following his previous successful movies like Swades and Lagaan. This is Ashutosh's biggest film so far with a strong star cast, a well written screenplay and great music by the master musician AR Rahman. The movie contains many great scene and interactions between the protagonist couple. Both Hrithik and Aishwarya are perfect for the role Akbar and Jodhaa respectively. This may be the most Some memorable scenes includes the sword fight between the couple, when Akbar catches Jodhaa sight transfixed on his bare torso, then when the emperor tames a wild elephant, one-on-one combat scene in the climax. The film also have been very well shoot by cinematographer Kiran Deohans, which can be seeing in the battle scenes and the visualization of the songs Khwaja mere khwaja and Azeem-o-shaan-shahenshah. There have reports that the movie is not true to history, but if you go and see the movie for a Bollywood love story, then you will be pleasantly surprised. A must see movie for 2008. It's a big budget movie and the elaborate sets, locations and customs’ shows were the money was spent. The movie may be a little long for the current times, but it's a movie that is enjoyable and a worth watch.
The director has admitted that about 70% of the movie is based on his imagination. However, many of the events portrayed in the movie are based on real events. Certain Rajput groups claimed Jodhaa was married to Akbar's son, Jahangir, not Akbar. They also demanded a public apology from Ashutosh Gowariker. The film was not released in 30 cinema theatres in Rajasthan.
There is popular perception that Rajput wife of Akbar, mother of Jahangir, was known as "Jodha Bai". However, Akbar's Rajput wife was never known as "Jodha Bai" during her lifetime.
The name of Akbar's wife was kept out of the Mughal records deliberately because the islamic clergy and the mughal populace could not come to terms with the future mughal emperor being the son of a Hindu woman. In Tujuk-i-Jahangiri she is referred as Mariam Zamani. During the Mughal period, Akbar's Rajput wife was never known as "Jodha Bai". Neither the Akbarnama (a biography of Akbar commissioned by Akbar himself), nor any historical text from the period refer to her as Jodha BaiThe director has admitted that about 70% of the movie is based on his imagination.

"What makes a nation, is the past, what justifies one nation against others is the past", says the noted historian Eric Hobsbawm.
Hence, when talking of a nation, it becomes very imperative that the past should also be talked about. And the past of India is as fascinating and interesting as it is momentous.
TODAY I SMILED@-)--)
(-----Today I smiled, and all at once
Things didn't look so bad.@-)--)
(-----Today I share with someone else,
A bit of hope I had.@-)--)
(-----Today I sang a little songAnd felt my heart grow light,
And walked a happy little mile,With not a cloud in sight.@-)--)
(-----Today I worked with what I hadAnd longed for nothing more,
And what had seemed like only weeds,Were flowers at my door.@-)--)
(---- Today I loved a little moreAnd complained a little less,And in the giving of myself,I forgot my weariness.

wo naa hoga to kya kami hogi
woh naa hoga to kya kami hogi,
bas adhuri si zindagi hogi.
gum hee chandi hai gum hee sona hai,
gum naa hoga to kya khushi hogi.
usko sochu usi ko chahu mein,
mujh se aisee naa bandagi hogi.
baat hothon pe jam gayi uske,
chup ye tute to unkahi hogi.
doob jayegi shor mein duniya,
lab honge naa khamoshi hogi...
wo naa hoga to kya kami hogi,
bas adhuri si zindagi hogi.

Introduction to Jalebi
Folks u must be wondering that what exactly jalebi is doing here as being a mouthwatering snack looks good in stomach(well or kuan) only. Well here jalebi signifies twists of life infact taste of life also. I am not going on philosphy too much but in terms of amitabh bachhan ...THE WHOLE THING IS THAT.. we can talk here, we can laugh here and we can walk here on differents moods of our day to day life. Actually i wanna see myself how much i can share and how much people can gain. while coming back from San Francisco I saw a message on board"Everyday opens a new day". That time i was not sure about it. That was just like a statement to me. But today is my new day as i am joining you people without boundaries.
