Is That Not Him?

Posted: Jul 4, 2009 Sat 11:09 am     Views: 353    Interacts: 14

Well, dear readers:

We need to understand the meaning of the word 'aahat' before we listen to the song. What's the word in English for 'aahat'? Yes, I know you'll all nod your pretty heads saying 'we know what it means' but I assure you you'll all begin by scratching them!

Well, 'aahat' is: a feeling accompanied by very slight movement and noise that gives one the impression as if someone or someting is around you. One may feel this elusive 'aahat' when one is alone and in a pensive mood. 'Aahat' could be a murmur, a rustle, faint footsteps, noise, or other kinds of low intensity sounds.

That settled, let me proceed to praise Priya's face and her thick locks of hair; no wonder Chetan Anand loved her to death (murder, actually).

The wonderful B&W cinematography is by Sadanad. Now who can guess how he gave the clouds that dry-cleaned white appearance, and the sky that dark dramatic look? Come on smarty-pants of Chowq!

And which Chowq smarty-pants can tell me what 'raag' has Madan Mohan based this composition on? Gotcha all, now haven't I?

Movie: Haqeeqat
Singer(s): Lata Mangeshkar
Music Director: Madan Mohan
Lyricist: Kaifi Azmi
Actors/Actresses: Dharmendra, Priya Rajvansh
Year/Decade: 1964, 1960s

Zaraa si aahat hoti hai to dil sochtaa hai
KahiN ye wo to nahiN, KahiN ye wo to nahiN
KahiN ye wo to nahiN...

Chhup kay seenay meiN koi jaisay sadaa daytaa hai
Shaam say pehley diya dil ka jalaa daytaa hai
Hai usee kie ye sadaa, hai usee kie ye adaa
KahiN ye wo to nahiN...

Shakl phirtee hai nigaahoN meiN vohi pyaarii see
MerI nas nas meiN machalanay lagi chiNgari see
Chhuu gai jism mera kisakay daaman kii havaa
KahiN ye wo to nahiN...

Aik dam ghalat! If you give me the correct answer, you'll win a free one-way ticket to San Jose to visit the good doctor there!

It is funny indeed how Mrikan sheeple are unaware that a great number of people world over hold a grudge against their government's aggressive (disguised as 'peaceful') policies. More hotdogs to the Mrikan sheeple!

My next song will be dedicated to the Chowq Stuffed.

As far as the photography and music quiz is concerned, I'm happy to note that interacters have proven beyond doubt that all what matters to them in life these days is pressing mobile phone keypads.

nah !!! this is the chakka that sometimes a pakistani scores in a match, you know !!! trying for a pull and getting a sixer !!! that is the beauty of it !!! no one sees that one coming !!! lol

as for bold, I look towards the chowk staff looking at you and rest my case & I had assumed you must have gold bald by now !!! lol if not ... good for you !!!

well mrikans that I talk to feel no different than us, an average person holds no grudge towards anyone, politically it may be a different scene & nothing new about that.

raag? I am sure most have not heard this song, rest aside the raag !!! ;)

Come on folks, answer me:

Billy:

What sixer are you talking about; I hope you're not referring to the kind of score eastern men wish to achieve when they visit the land of ilk and horny? Moreover, how did being bold there make you bald?

We'd like to know—not that I care for the land that is THE cause of all global woes financial and political—how Mrika is changing?

lol ... another "chakka" by ... the bold and the bald ... well my time in the "agression nation" was way better than I have in the middle east!!! Mrika is changing, have not seen "oh a paki" expression,or may be I do not act like I just got off the boat !!!

Now, don't I know you from somewhere, right here? Can a leopard change its spots?

That's rebirth Tahir Sahab!
Don't care about Chowq Stuffed either :)
But you do write very well. The best in here.

Since you were born on Chowq on 30 June, please don't praise me in this manner; Chowq Stuffed will start weeping uncontrollably!
