Remembering Jagjit Singh and why I stopped listening to Ye Daulat Bhi Le Lo

My most favourite ghazal maestro Jagjit Singh passed away at 8.10 am today (October 10, 2011). But he will forever stay alive in my heart with his melodious and timeless songs. 
In times of joy, sorrow, love and nostalgia, I could always relate to his ghazals. My mobile phone, mp3 player and computer would always have most of his songs. 
But, after my bidaai as I discontinued staying with my parents and brother, as I shifted away from where my close friends stay, I stopped listening to Ye Daulat Bhi Le Lo. It would bring back fond memories and tears to my eyes.
Magar mujhko lauta do bachpan ka saawan
Woh kaagaz ki kashti, woh baarish ka paani...
Woh naani ki baaton mein pariyon ka dera
Woh chehre ki jhurriyon mein sadiyon ka phera...
Woh gudiya ki shadi mein ladna jhagadna
Woh jhoolon se girna, woh gir ke sambhalna...
Na duniyaa ka gam tha, na rishton ke bandhan
Badi khoobsurat thi woh zindagani
Jagjit Singh's ghazals have always touched hearts and souls, and connected with us in very strong way. May his soul rest in peace and God give his loved ones the strength to deal with the loss.
Chithhi na koi sandesh jaane woh kaun sa desh jahaan tum chale gaye...

John refuses to dance for Rs 6 crore!

John Abraham was reportedly offered Rs 6 Crore to dance at a wedding! But the heartthrob of many young gals clearly refused to dance at the wedding of someone he doesn't even know!

A big decision, isn't it! While with the amount of money involved is tempting, John is not going to affect his brand image. Seriously, watching John do all the latke-jhatke at a wedding would be weird. He would rather concentrate on his acting career. Way to go John!

Movies on Osama Bin Laden

So Osama was declared dead and the world rejoiced with the end of one of the most dreaded terroristsof all times. People directly or indirectly affected (and even those whose lives were not exactly affected by Osama) were pleased that he was killed. It took US 10 years, but as Obama said, justice was done.

Now what? Is it the end of Osama? Not exactly. As far as his name is concerned, it will find its place in discussions related to curbing terrorism, history books and last but not the least - MOVIES!


How could Bollywood and Hollywood resist the temptation to make movies on Osama! After all, everything about Osama was very 'dramatic'... what he did was pathetic... unforgivable, what was done to him brought joy, but it all was very dramatic.

The crashing of two planes into the Twin Towers of New York's World Trade Center and the search for Osama has already given birth to many Bollywood and Hollywood flicks including:

  • Documentary film 9/11
  • Morgan Spurlock's Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden
  • Kathryn Bigelow's Kill Bin Laden
  • George Clooney's The Challenge
  • Abhishek Sharma's Tere Bin Laden
  • Kabir Khan's New York

The above films focussed on the attacks, their impact on several lives and relationships and the search for Osama.

But now, the filmmakers have a 'happy ending' for the OBL movies. So we can expect a new set of movies that will be more 'complete'. Well, the world knows the story, there's no suspense whatsover and the end is known too, so whether these movies will serve filmmakers' purpose of earning name, fame and wealth is to be seen. But firstly, will people want to watch films on Osama that will cover all that we know on a big screen? All the cruelty, brutality and sorrow? Well I don't have the courage... I couldn't watch 9/11 or New York... not even on the small screen! But let's see what the moviemakers have to offer, they must be having some plans already up their sleeves!
