Stevie G - Top 40 Goals

Song : Fix You
Album (Band) : COLDPLAY


When you try your best, but you don't succeed

When you get what you want, but not what you need
When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse

And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone, but it goes to waste
Could it be worse?

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Tears stream down on your face
When you lose something you cannot replace
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...

Tears stream down on your face
I promise you I will learn from my mistakes
Tears stream down on your face
And on your face I...

Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you

Brahma Kamal - Queen of the Night

Brahma Kamal, botanical name Saussurea obvallata, also known as Epiphyllum oxypetalum plant, Queen of the Night,  Duchman's Pipe, Night blooming Cereus, is a species of flowering plant named after Brahma, the Hindu god of creation. The Brahma Kamal plant is very rare and has been declared as rare species amongst plants. It is native to the Himalayas, India, Northern Burma and South-West China. In Himalayas, it is found at an altitude of around 4500 m.

The plant is considered an herb in Tibetan medicine. Its name is 'Sah-du Goh-ghoo'. It has a bitter taste, promotes heat. Used to treat paralysis of the limbs and cerebral ischemia. The entire plant is used. It is endangered because people are cutting it down for their own use, it is found in the region of the Himalayas.

This flower is usually found at high altitudes between 3,600 and 4,500 metres, in areas like the Valley of Flowers, Uttar Pradesh. Used for religious rites. The uniqueness of this blossom is that it blooms only at night and may take a year or more for the bud to appear.  It grows from just a single leaf. The leaves themselves multiply. And the buds appear from the leaf itself. The beauty of the mildly fragrant flowers is that the buds start opening at about 10 pm and the blooms last through the night, starting to droop only at about 4.30 am.

People believe that this stamen represents Lord Krishna, while the reddish brown stalks which you can see on the closed bud represent the 100 Kauravas from the Mahabharata.

The flower is considered sacred, and does not bloom frequently. So people consider themselves lucky if they are able to witness this rare event, and perform pooja and aarti at the time of blooming. It is also considered to be a good omen and a sign of prosperity for the home. It is believed that Brahma emerged from Vishnu's navel in a lotus flower. 

The Brahmakamal is not a lotus but belongs to cactus family, although its petals resemble a lotus. Lotuses grow in ponds, whereas the Brahmakamal grows on the slopes of the Himalayas (it is the state flower of Uttaranchal).There is a belief that the Brahmakamal should be gifted, and not bought in the market. To grow the plant, a leaf is planted in the soil (and not a seedling or stem). This leaf then multiplies and becomes a plant to a height of about 4 to 5 feet. The flower itself is around 4-5 inches in diameter and has a lovely fragrance.

AND THEN AFTER 3 YEARS IN AUGUST 2008

A TRULY DIVINE CREATION OF NATURE.

Though many people believe this to be a Bramha Kamla, it is not so.

The real Brahma Kamal has a paper-like exterior, is greenish-yellow in colour and resembles a cabbage and blooms only at high altitude in Himalayas at low atmospheric temperature.

Aaj ki taaza khabar

Aaj ki taaza khabar

Aao kakaji idhar

Aao mamaji idhar

Main tumhare liye dukh aur khushi bi laaya

Main tumhare liye aasu bhi hasi bhi laaya

Dekhle aaj ke insaan ki haalat kya hai

Aaj ki dunyia mein imaan ki kimat kya hai

log jeete hain yaahan duniya ko dhoka dekar

Aaj ki taaza khabar

Aaj ki taaza khabar

Aao kakaji idhar

Aao mamaji idhar

suno duniya ki khabar

Aaj ek bhakt ne bhagwan ka mandir loota

ek beyimaan ne masjid me churaya juta.

Kaalebazar ki ek toli police ne dharli

ek budhe ne jaawan ladki se shaadi karli

ek ladka udaa ek mem ka batwa lekar

Aaj ki taaza khabar

Aaj ki taaza khabar

Aaj ki taaza khabar

Aao kakaji idhar

Aao mamaji idhar

suno duniya ki khabar

Ek dhanwaan ne aaj apna dharam chhod diya

Aaj ek bhooke ne footpath pe dam tod diya

Aaj tankhaha badhi hai to hai majdoor magan

Kal se ho jaeyaga baazar me mehanga raashan

Babuji jaayenge daftar ko pakode khaakar

Aaj ki taaza khabar

Aaj ki taaza khabar

Aaj ki taaza khabar

Aao kakaji idhar

Aao mamaji idhar

suno duniya ki khabar

Yun to Ganpat bhi hai, Joseph bhi hai, Rehman bhi hai

Ye to batlao ki inhme kahi insaan bhi hai

Koi rooti koi paise ko khuda kehta hai

Har koi paap ke dhande main laga rehta hai

Aaj bhagwaan se badhkar hai hawaldaar ka dar

Aaj ki taaza khabar

Aaj ki taaza khabar

Aaj ki taaza khabar

Aao kakaji idhar

Aao mamaji idhar

suno duniya ki khabar

Aaj Amrica ne atom ka udaya ghoda

Ruus ne aaj naya chand pe rocket chhoda

Kahi pe aaj ka insaan kahi pahuncha hai

Phir bhi sachhai ke raste pe nahi pahuncha hai

Kise maalum ke ye aadmi jaayega kidhar.

Aaj ki taaza khabar

Aaj ki taaza khabar

Aaj ki taaza khabar

Aao kakaji idhar

Aao mamaji idhar

suno duniya ki khabar

LYRICS

Kahete the ustaad hamare

Naam tha jiska machandar

Insaan tha pehle bandar

Insaan tha pehle bandar

Lambi doom wale the saare apne kaum ke andar

Insaan tha pehle bandar

Insaan tha pehle bandar

Na koi John tha, Na koi Abdul, Na koi tha Gopal

Sabki surat ek jaisi thi, ek thi sabki chaal, ek thi sabki chaal

Nange phirte the jungle main banke mast kalandar

Insaan tha pehle bandar

Insaan tha pehle bandar

Kahete the ustaad hamare

Naam tha jiska machandar

Insaan tha pehle bandar

Insaan tha pehle bandar

Kaam kiya ye pehla humne bangaye jab insaan

Mitti ke do chaar gharon mein baat diye bhagwaan, baat diye bhagwaan

kisi ne khola ooncha girjaa

kisi ne masjid, mandir

Insaan tha pehle bandar

Insaan tha pehle bandar

Lambi doom wale the saare apne kaum ke andar

Kahete the ustaad hamare

Naam tha jiska machandar

Insaan tha pehle bandar

Insaan tha pehle bandar

Bhool gaye sab ek duje ko bankar aadamzad

Kaise kaise jaal me fas gayi bandar ki aulad,bandar ki aulad

Koi bana hai aaj bhikari, koi aaj sikandar.

Insaan tha pehle bandar

Insaan tha pehle bandar

Kahete the ustaad hamare

Naam tha jiska machandar

Insaan tha pehle bandar

Insaan tha pehle bandar

Translation in English

Mother, I salute thee!

Rich with thy hurrying streams,
bright with orchard gleams,
Cool with thy winds of delight,
Green fields waving Mother of might,
Mother free.

Glory of moonlight dreams,
Over thy branches and lordly streams,
Clad in thy blossoming trees,
Mother, giver of ease
Laughing low and sweet!
Mother I kiss thy feet,
Speaker sweet and low!
Mother, to thee I bow.

Who hath said thou art weak in thy lands
When swords flash out in seventy million hands
And seventy million voices roar
Thy dreadful name from shore to shore?
With many strengths who art mighty and stored,
To thee I call Mother and Lord!
Thou who saves, arise and save!
To her I cry who ever her foe drove
Back from plain and sea
And shook herself free.

Thou art wisdom, thou art law,
Thou art heart, our soul, our breath
Though art love divine, the awe
In our hearts that conquers death.
Thine the strength that nerves the arm,
Thine the beauty, thine the charm.
Every image made divine
In our temples is but thine.

Thou art Durga, Lady and Queen,
With her hands that strike and her
swords of sheen,
Thou art Lakshmi lotus-throned,
And the Muse a hundred-tone,
Pure and perfect without peer,
Mother lend thine ear,
Rich with thy hurrying streams,
Bright with thy orchard gleems,
Dark of hue O candid-fair

In thy soul, with jewelled hair
And thy glorious smile divine,
Loveliest of all earthly lands,
Showering wealth from well-stored hands!
Mother, mother mine!
Mother sweet, I bow to thee,
Mother great and free!

Diye jalte hain, phool khilte hain, diye jalte hain, 
phool khilte hain
badi mushkil se, magar, duniya mein dost, 
milte hain, diye jalte hain

Jab jis waqt kisi ka, yaar juda hota hai, 
kuchh na poochho, yaron dil ka, haal bura hota hai,
Jab jis waqt kisi ka yaar juda hota hai, 
kuchh na poonchho yaron dil ka haal bura hota hai,
dil pe yadon ke jaise, teer chalte hain, ahanha
Diye jalte hain, phool khilte hain,

Is rang roop pe dekho, hargiz naaz na karna, 
jaan bhi mange, yaar to dede na, naraz na karna,
rang ud jate hain, dhoop dhalte hain, hmhmhm
Diye jalte hain, phool khilte hain, diye jalte hain

Daulat aur jawani, ek din kho jaati hain, 
sach kahta hoon, saari duniya, dushman ho jaati hai,
umr bhar dost lekin saath chalte hain hmmhm
Diye jalte hain, phool khilte hain, 
badi mushkil se, magar, duniya mein dost milte hain
Diye jalte hain.

Ashi Hi Banwa Banwi - The Best Comedy Film Ever.

Ashi Hi Banwa Banwi (Devnagari: अशी ही बनवा बनवी) is a comedy Marathi film directed by Sachin Pilgaonkar and released in India in 1988.


This is the greatest comedy movie of all time in any language. I yet  have to see a comedy movie as hilarious as this one. A film with a great star cast, fabulous plot, wonderful comic punches and unbelievable performances. 
Aamir Khan and Salman Khan starer Andaz Apana Apana is in my thought the second best to Ashi Hi Banwa Banwi in Indian comedy movies.

ASHOK SARAF as DHANANJAY MANE

LAXMIKANT BERDE as PARSHURAM and PARVATI

SACHIN PILGAONKAR as SUDHIR (Sudhya) and SUDHA

SHUSHANT RAY as SHANTANU MANE

ASHWINI BHAVE as MADHURI (Madam)

NIVEDITA JOSHI as SUSHMA

The PLOT

Dhananjay Mane (Ashok Saraf) is a street-smart salesperson in a cosmetic store owned by Madhuri (Ashwini Bhave) in Pune. He lives as a tenant of a stingy landlord Vishwas Sarpotdar (Sudhir Joshi). He is soon joined by his younger brother Shantanu (Sushant Ray) who is a Medicine student. Though prohibited by the landlord, Dhananjay and Shantanu allow their friends Parshuram (Laxmikant Berde) and Sudhir (Sachin), who have come to Pune in search of jobs, to secretly live with them. One night, Dhananjay, Parshuram and Sudhir insult their landlord while drunk and are taken away by Shantanu, who arrives at the scene a little too late. Enraged by this harassment, Vishwas Sarpotdar orders them to vacate the place.

Many futile attempts of finding a new home for rent later, Dhananjay and Shantanu finally find a nice place in the huge house of a rich, old, kind and half-blind widow Lilabai Kalbhor (Nayantara), who lives with her shrewd servant Tanu and is often harassed by Bali (Viju Khote) for money. Forced to show themselves as married couples, a condition set by the landlady, Dhananjay and Shantanu make Parshuram and Sudhir disguise as their wives as Parvati and Sudha, respectively. Shortly after arriving at their new rental home as couples, the landlady's niece, Manisha (Supriya), and her friend Sushma (Nivedita Joshi), who is also Shantanu's girlfriend, join them for a long stay at the house. Sudhir (disguised as Shantanu's wife Sudha) is now a successful singer and courts Manisha while Shantanu makes up a fake story of his wife's cancer to appease Sushma, who is clearly upset at seeing him married. Meanwhile, Dhanajay and his employer Madhuri also fall in love with each other. Dhananjay and Co develop a bond of motherly love with their landlady.

Eventually, Tanu and Bali come to know about the disguises and Dhananjay and Co are forced to leave. On their way out, they are exposed in front of their landlady who hands them over to police. But at the police station, she absolves them of their deceits and sets them free.
