जाने काहां मेरा जिगर गया जी
अभि अभि यही था किधर गया जी
किसी की अदाओं पे मर गया जी
बडी बडी अखीयो से डर गया जी |
जाने काहां मेरा जिगर गया जी
अभि अभि यही था किधर गया जी
किसी की अदाओं पे मर गया जी
बडी बडी अखीयो से डर गया जी |
Finally read `The kite runner’. Its a good book. I enjoyed the narration and the settings - war, kabul, Kebobs, Hazaras and the simple beauty of little things in the life of the characters.
Two things that I won’t be forgetting anytime soon (from the book ofcourse) are the song - “Ahesta boro” and the quote - “For you, a thousand times over.”
Je veux les mêmes droits que toi
Et du respect pour chaque jour,
moi je ne veux que l’amour.
I want the same rights as you.
Respect and your love for each day.
And respect for each day
I don’t want anything but love
Yesterday, I had my first experience of a live session at an Indian Classical Music Concert. Pandit Jasraj was awesome. I did not get some lyrics, but the meaning, yes. Very soul stirring indeed. Should listen to some more of the stuff.
