I came home to the news that Rajesh Khanna had just passed away - a true legend of Bollywood. I recall the days when movies pairing him and Amitabh Bachchan were on regular rotation on our VCR. And this song was, and still is, one of my favourites. Anyone who knows me well enough will have skipped down many random streets singing, 'chal chal chal mere saathi, oh mere haathi'... RIP Mr. Khanna, your contribution will forever be etched in cinematic history.
Over dinner tonight, a friend mentioned a documentary that had recently been screened. It was about an ordinary guy in America, of Indian descent, who was sceptical of religion and gurus. To try and understand the concepts, he took on a persona as a stereotypical Indian guru, and went about trying to see what this persona could do to and for other people. His adventures as a fake guru, led him to learn some very real lessons about himself. This really was a fascinating documentary, and I think the core of it, really is very true. If you can get your hands on it, watch it, it certainly makes you think...
My deepest fear is being alone...
I saw this on Saturday night and I'm hooked on this song! Funny movie!! I normally don't like funny movies, but Ajay Devgan had me hysterical! "Boy under armpit and hypercity noise pollution"!!!!
Loving this song at the moment... so cool...
Ever since I was little I had heard stories from my mum about how my grandfather worked with Professor Bose. This was especially exciting for me when we studied the Bose-Einstein theory. Now with the discovery of the Higgs Boson particle, this photograph has become even more special, Professor Bose with my grandfather.
