Lyrics of "Kholo kholo" from Taare Zameen Par

"Kholo kholo darwaaze, parde karo kinare,

khootein se bandhi hai hawa, milke chudao saare..

Aajao patang lae kae, apne hi rang lae kae,

aasmaan ka shamiyaana, aaj humein hai sajana..

Kyoon iss kadar hairaan tu, mausam ka hai mehmaan tu,

duniya sajji tere liye, khud ko zara pehchaan tu,

Tu dhoop hai cham se bikhar,

Tu hai nadi o bekhabar,

Behchal kahin, udd chal kahin,

Dil khush jahan teri toh manzin wahi.

Kyoon iss kadar hairaan tu, mausam ka hai mehmaan tu,

Oh zindagi toh hai patasha,

Meethi meethi si hai aasha,

Chak le rakh le, hateli se dakh le isae,

Tujh mein agar pyaas hai, baarish ka ghar bhi paas hai,

Roke tujhe kyun koi bhala, sang sang tere aakash hai.

Tu dhoop hai cham se bikhar,
Tu hai nadi o bekhabar,
Behchal kahin, udd chal kahin,
Dil khush jahan teri toh manzin wahi.

Khul gaya aasmaan ka rasta dekho khul gaya,

Mil gaya, kho gaya tha joh sitara mil gaya,

Roshan hui saari zameen,

Jagmag hua saara jahaan,

Udnae ko tu aazaad hai, bandhan koi abb hai kahan.

Tu dhoop hai cham se bikhar,
Tu hai nadi o bekhabar,
Behchal kahin, udd chal kahin,
Dil khush jahan teri toh manzin wahi.

Daily Tid-bits

19th Nov:
- Meghna, the 8 year old, unafraid to make mistakes in her english usage:
---"...Papa...will you drop ur friends 'in a row' (read 'all together')....";
---"..no...I will be 'more than sad' to do this...." to her Papa's "...she will be more than happy to do this.."
- Remembered a 6 year old's "...give me a hankey...my nose is 'leaking'" :)
- In one area of Plano, Texas there are so many Indians that the apartment owners do the yearly painting around Pongal! The numbers of Indians in any part of the world rocks! Bhanu, my colleague, believes that like "Apna Ohio" n "Apna Kentucky" there will be "Apna Alaska" n "Apna Antartica" too some day!

11th Nov:
- Mummy: "Mujhe mixed vegetable banana nahin pasand. Agar aaj mixed vegetable banao, toh kal kaunsi sabzi banao? Koi bhi toh nahin bachhi joh kal naa khai ho." :)
- Parul attempting to articulate a requirement: "The system will facilitate the user to publish a promotion only after it undergoes an approval workflow."
Yvette: "Can we replace the word 'facilitation'? It sounds too deep." :)

Aadmi Aazaad Hai

"Aadmi Aazaad Hai,
Desh Bhi Swatantra Hai,
Raja Gaye Rani Gayi,
Ab Toh Prajantantra Hai.
Ab Toh Prajantantra Hai.

Jan Ke Liye, Jan Ke Dwara, Janta Kaa Raaz Hai;
Prajantantra Sab Se Bada, Hum Sab Ko Naaz Hai;
Vote Chota Sa Magar, Shakti Mein Anant Hai;
Ab Toh Prajantantra Hai.
Ab Toh Prajantantra Hai.

Khil Rahi Thi Kali Kali, Mehke Hai Har Gali;
Aap Tabhi Saanp Huae, Hum Ho Gaye Chipkali;
Satta Ki Ye Bhook Vikat, Aadi Hai Naa Ant Hai;
Ab Toh Prajantantra Hai.
Ab Toh Prajantantra Hai."

- A song from "Welcome to Sajjanpur".
