Quotes Reworked...

Alice in Wonderland

Off with her head!

******************************

I know who I was when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.

******************************

Alice: I've had nothing yet, so I can't take more.

The Hatter: You mean you can't take less; it's very easy to take more than nothing.

******************************

"Begin at the beginning and go on till you come to the end: then stop."

******************************

“It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”

******************************

Tuesdays with Morrie - Mitch Alboom

So many people walk around with a meaningless life. They seem half-asleep, even when they're busy doing things they think are important. This is because they're chasing the wrong things. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning."

********************

Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.

********************

"Don't hang on too long, but don't let go too soon."

**********************

The Alchemist - Paulo Coelho

If you are ever going to have other people trust you, you must feel that you can trust them too; even when you are in the dark; even when you're falling.

**********************

What the boy felt at that moment was that he was in the presence of the only women in his life, and that, with no need for words, she recognized the same thing. He was more certain of it than anything in the world.

******************************

.... and their eyes meet, the past and the future become unimportant. There is only that moment, and the incredible certainty that everything under the sun has been written by one hand only.

******************************

...love never keeps a man from pursuing his destiny. If he abandons that pursuit, it's because it wasn't true love …

Crimson light across the blue sky,
the sun sets and invites the night.
It ends to begin yet again.

Just like me...
holding on to memories of yesterday looking at tomorrow in the eye.
With broken dreams but a spirit that is raring to go I am leaving the tunnel behind.
A step at a time, with a little help from my friends, I walk along.

A DASH OF BOLLYWOOD - I

Recently saw two movies, Ravaan and I Hate Luv Storys. Hmmm each was as cliche and as good as the other and I liked them both!

Of course there are reasons. Ravaan because it’s Mani Ratnam and the man has an eye...all the locales that he shot in were beautiful. The movie is all about him and his cinematography. To a certain extend i even liked the story specially the part where 'Sita' leaves when her integrity is questioned but even though centuries have passed we still dont know what to do with 'Sita'. I like the way he has played with the characters making them more human, giving 'Sita' a sense of doubt, 'Ram' gets shades of grey and Ravaan is not quite the culprit. Plus he is smart, Mani Ratnam I mean (!) good or bad, Ravaan does die by the hands of Ram and Sita never does compromise. That's called smart coz u get your creative outlet and yet not get killed by 'the saviours of our sabhyata' (!).

Once again Mani Sahab I curtsy you....


Thok di killi
O thok di killi
Ki door nahi hai
Chalega dilli
Sabko ghoore aankh dikhaye
Tanashahi kare daraye
Oh baagad lilli hey
Oh thok di killi

Ghuma de danda
Uda de gilli
Itraye vithraayee jab bhi
Hadh se aage zad mein aaye

Aankh mein kaala kajal
Oye naak mein natthii
Kaan mein jhumka
Paanv pehne bhijua or
Daayen baayen maare thumka

Aase paase sab ko ghoore
Dekhe or dikhaye tevar
Mujre ka nazrana maange
Heere banne naqdi jevar
Bichde pichde keh ke humko
Khoob uthaye khilli dilli

Jhooti sacchi sehli
Thumri kajri jo bhi kchali
Humne ek tihayee li
Ghungroo chod kar chat par
Tehcli
Jhooti hai makkaar nachaiyya
Na koi mayi na koi maiya
Koot koot ke kapat bhara hai
Be-taala tha tha tha thaiyya
Bichde pichde keh ke humko
Khoob uthaye khilli dilli

Oh thok di killi
Oh thok di killi
Ki door nahin hai
Chalega dilli

Hey..hey

Raat ka maal, raaton ne loota
Chaand taaron ka guchcho
Churaaye
Din nikalna tha, apna bhi nikla
Kis mein dum hai ki suraj bhi
Jaaye
Kis mein dum hai ki suraj bhu
Jaaye

Aaya milke baiten
Haal sunaave dil ka
Kela woh khaate hai
Humko phenke chilka chilka

Bichde pichde keh ke humko
Khoob uthaye khilli dilli
Sehete sehete ab toh
Garden ghar rakh kar jaate hai
Choti ho gayi qabren
Bin mundi hi mar jaate hai
