Thodi si bewafai

-

I have a good collection of old songs in my laptop and usually listen to it while working on my laptop. Out of many songs that I have, I like some particular songs and listen to it again and again. I want to share my experience about this particular song which is written by one of my favorite lyricst gulzar saab. On the first look, somebody can term the lyrics as a conversation between a man and woman. But it’s not a daily conversation that we do, it’s a different kind of conversation and I salute the music director Khayyam saab who gave music to the conversation and made it immortal. This is a duet song by kishore da and lata mangeskar, giving playback voices for rajesh khanna and shabana azmi for the film "Thodi Si Bewafai (1980)". Superb and meaningful lyricst by one of the greatest lyricist, mesmerizing voices of the two legends, and soulful music make this as one of my favorite song.
The conversation as well as the lyrics goes like this...
Man: Hazar rahein, jo mud ke dekhi kahin se koi sada na aai
Woman: badi wafa se nibhai tumne, hamari thodi si bewafai..
Man: Jahan se tum mod mud gaye the.. ye mod ab bhi wahin pade hain
Woman: Hum apne pairon main jane kitne bhanwar lapate hue khade hain, badi wafa se nibahi tumne, hamari thodi si bewafai...
Man: Kahin kisi roz yun bhi hota.. hamari halat tumhari hoti
Woman: jo raat humne guzai marke, woh raat tumen guzari hoti, badi wafa se nibhai tumne, hamari thodi si bewafai..
Man: tumhe ye zidd thi ki hum bulaye, hume ye ummed ki woh pukare..
Woman: he naam hoton pain ab bhi lekin awaz main pad gayi dararain
Man: hazar rahein mood ke dekhi kahin se koi sada na aai
Woman: badi wafa se nibhai tumne humari thodi si bewafai, humari thodi si bewafai
   Listening to this master piece after a whole day of work and relating the wordings of the song with personal life makes you emotional and automatically tears roll down from the eyes.

Last Stand

-
According to Wikipedia definition, "Last Stand" is a military terminology where there is a situation in the battlefield in which a relatively small number of defending troops hold a defensive position in the face of overwhelming odds (like shortage of ration, ammunition, large number of enemy forces and a formidable opposition with the capability to have multiple waves of attack). In all likelihood the defending army face a complete destruction of their battalion such as death of all the personnel or very heavy casualty figures or being taken prisoner of war. The defending army takes the last stand (while they are well aware that the odds are against them) due to their dedication towards their duty, honor and over and above for their country and fellow countryman. The heroic acts of the soldiers earn them the highest military awards for their gallantry and their names are etched in the history with memorials being erected in their names. But in some cases, history forgets th...

As the first teacher to me and teacher to thousands of other intermediate as well as undergraduate girls who had the opportunity to learn from your technical skills and follow your grace as well as dignity, it has been a remarkable journey. The girls whom you have taught must be indebted to you because of your contribution towards their overall development and metamorphism. Maa, Your journey as a teacher, started on a very early age with lot of hopes and aspiration and as the  journey progressed, many challenges in form of government red tape, lack of a suitable working environment, health issues, family issues and more recently issues such as changing of teaching standards, environment and over reliance on technology over classical teaching came in to existence. Overcoming all the hurdles while maintaining the same composure, grace, dignity and modesty has been one of the greatest achievement in your life. Despite the overwhelming workload on a very limited workforce in the profes...
