Sanam Re

I heard this song yesterday for the first time and since then I have been playing the song in repeat mode. Arijit Singh is simply awesome!! I wish to see him live in concert one day. My cousin attended one of his concerts and was completely blown away by his performance.

O ho…

Bheegi bheegi sadkon pe main
Tera intezaar karun
Dheere dheere dil ki zameen ko
Tere hi naam karun

Khudko main yoon kho doon
Ke phir na kabhi paaun
Haule haule zindagi ko
Ab tere hawaale karun

Sanam re, sanam re
Tu mera sanam hua re
Sanam re, sanam re
Tu mera sanam hua re
Karam re, karam re
Tera mujhpe karam hua re

Sanam re, sanam re
Tu mera sanam hua re

O ho…

Tere kareeb jo hone laga hoon
To toote saare bharam re

Sanam re, sanam re
Tu mera sanam hua re
Sanam re, sanam re
Tu mera sanam hua re

O ho…

Baadalon ki tarah hi toh
Tune mujhpe saaya kiya hai
Baarishon ki tarah hi toh
Tune khushiyon se bhigaya hai
Aandhiyon ki tarah hi toh
Tune hosh ko udaaya hai

Mera muqaddar sanwara hai yoon
Naya savera jo laaya hai tu
Tere sang hi bitaane hain mujhko
Mere saare janam re

Sanam re, sanam re (sanam re..)
Tu mera sanam hua re
Sanam re, sanam re (sanam re..)
Tu mera sanam hua re
Karam re, karam re (karam re..)
Tera mujhpe karam hua re
Sanam re, sanam re (sanam re..)
Tu mera sanam hua re

O ho…

Mere sanam re mera hua re
Tera karam re mujhpe hua ye (x2)

I had seen the trailer of this movie a couple of months ago and was excited by the pairing of Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar – two of of my favorite actors. I decided to watch the movie over the weekend and needless to say it is one of the better movies to have been released in the recent months. The acting by all the characters in the movie is simply awesome. Farhan Akhtar pulls of the role of an angry young man effortlessly. Amitabh Bachchan as usual is flawless. I think he is like wine, keeps getting better with age. The best part of the movie are it’s dialogues and that too when said by Amitabh Bachchan in his deep baritone – just sounds amazing. Neil Nitin Mukesh and John Abraham have a special appearance.  The story is predictable but the way it has been portrayed using the game of chess is the most brilliant part of the movie. I do not want to share movie details here – but this is definitely one of the movies that you shouldn’t miss out on watching.

This post should have come a little earlier; but then it is only week 1 in 2016 and not too late to do a little reflection for 2015. 2015 was an awesome year for me personally and professionally. Below are some of the moments which made it really awesome for me.

  1. My wife survived 5 years with me.
  2. Completed an impromptu Hampta pass trek with Saurav. You can read all the details in my previous posts.
  3. Moved with my wife in our apartment. After struggling to find a place which we both liked, we were finally able to finalize a place in 2014 and made the move in 2015.
  4. Visited New York city and had Chipotle after 9 years. Too damn filling. Also met my friends after a very long time.
  5. Got promoted… Hooray!!!
  6. 9 days, drove 2137 kms, places covered – Nathdwara, Mount Abu, Ambaji Temple, Patan, Bahucharaji Mandir, Ahmedabad and flying visit to Anand..- an awesome road trip with the family
  7. Traveled a lot this – Goa, Jawhar, Malshej Ghat, Somnath, Virpur, Pune, NYC, San Mateo etc. as per FB – covered 13 cities (i think it is a lot more than that)
  8. My colleagues getting me Ben & Jerry (after 2 years of persistence :P)
  9. Did a bike ride with a Royal Enfield group and had a good time with them.
  10. Ended the year by riding my Thunderbird 350 to Pune.
