shabad kirtan

i was watching Delhi 6 again yesterday, after a long time. i feel the movie has pretty good messages and also, MUSIC!!masakali and genda phool were the tracks i still remembered, but now i've realised there are 2 other tracks which were really awesome.

the first is a qawalli type, arziyan, which shows the muslims (lots and lots of people) praying at one of the huge mosques in Delhi and its 8 plus minutes long.well i think the long tracks are nice. =)

then there is the Bade Ghulam Ali Khan composition- bhor bhaye which has been edited with Shreya G's voice in. now this track was shown in the movie at the raamlila part where Sita awaits Ram Ji to save her (i think). and also the heroine (Sonam K) realizes that's the best song to sing for her Indian Idol audition. hahah.

so what are the nice messages??

one, racism/religiousism haha. the people somehow managed to bring in racism, so its nice to see how they put away those differences, as is said in the beginning, everything exists in a delicate balance. different, but existing simultaneously, together.

then there's the whole Caste thingie. when they act all silly, not even allowing the lady who takes the trash in their house and stuff, the kiddies poin out that Ram also ate the jhoot (leftover) of a low caste person. hah!the aunties and uncles couldnt reply to that.

then i posted the song to FB, being excited and all, and darling Manpreet posted a link to a blog on Raag compilations! i may have seen it before, but now i've saved it and it should be an interesting and informative read =) thx babe.

so, i should stop talking abt the movie and get back to water treatment.

Head loss awaits (hope my head is not lost in the process hehe!)

take care and lots of love!

updates?

well well. there was like a whole week after the last paper, during which i did nothing much.- as opposed to the multitudes of activities that ideally should have been carried out, i.e. studying water treatment eg how to design a tank??? and completing my proposal properly. so now on sunday the latest paper was done with, which i have to say, thankfully it wasnt just me frowning about the first question after the exam was over. we were all like, phew.the calculation was just weird for one part. so then on the day obviously i do nothing, due to feeling like i was the one who was in the Futsal tourney- CONGRATS ballu, gurleen,pinday and everyone in Inspire Girls team and the other teams(not too sure who came in 2nd and 3rd) and well done to the coaches (Ajeet Veerji and Gurpreet - sorry if there's anyone else) and go to bed only to be jolted awake after the first few minutes of drifting off.
and I proceed to watch Charlie and the chocolate factory, smiling and stifling laughs watching the oompa loompas and remembering.
I remember the time in (primary?) school when Har, Rish? and I found the book and we read it delightedly =) =) and Mathilda too. ah. those were the days.
the oompa loompa songs are just way too cute too!
then today the whole day is gone again (seriously, i dont know how) and its almost 4 am now. so i m gonna read some notes and feeling a tiny bit relieved that (like Thuls said) at least we looked at the method for our proposal.
also the lack of panic might be due to the fact that the paper is MCQ (althou the true false is just gonna be mad mad mad)
anyway, to the SPM folks: Jiwan, Harjeet and urm anyone else, i forget now, GOOD LUCK!! u guys are gonna totally ace it ;D
muaxx everyone. good night. hope everyone had a blessed time for the BIRTH OF GURU NANAK DEV JI and enjoyed the full beautiful moon :)

Praylist =)

currently three tracks are playing pretty much on repeat, all raags;
1) mere hai avgun too gunsagar
jat rasathal ooat teeharee
which is just lovely, sung by bhai ranjit singh
2) ਬਿਰਹਾ ਬਿਰਹਾ ਆਖੀਐ ਬਿਰਹਾ ਤੂ ਸੁਲਤਾਨੁ ॥
Birhā birhā ākẖī▫ai birhā ṯū sulṯān.Many talk of the pain and suffering of separation; O pain, you are the ruler of all.
ਫਰੀਦਾ ਜਿਤੁ ਤਨਿ ਬਿਰਹੁ ਨ ਊਪਜੈ ਸੋ ਤਨੁ ਜਾਣੁ ਮਸਾਨੁ ॥੩੬॥
Farīḏā jiṯ ṯan birahu na ūpjai so ṯan jāṇ masān. 36Fareed, that body, within which love of the Lord does not well up - look upon that body as a cremation ground. 36
sung by bhai niranjan =D
3) track of the video i posted below, Baba Akhey Hajiaa =)
totally awesome for accompaniment of studying/notes taking ;D

Baba Nanak - baba akhey Hajian loving this!=)

Akhand path

during the diwali/bandi chorr/holidays in general, there was akhand path going on at gurdwara. it was a good time as always for me, as going to gurdwara is something i welcome fully when back home, thanks to the lack of, here. so anyway, the first two days went on as usual and at night on the second day some friends had some fireworks display. =) then on friday after the path da bhog, Gianiji and veer Surjit did kirtan. it was lovely, and here are the shabads sung.


ਕਹਿਆ ਕਰਣਾ ਦਿਤਾ ਲੈਣਾ ॥
Kahi▫ā karṇā ḏiṯā laiṇā. As You command, I obey; as You give, I receive.
ਗਰੀਬਾ ਅਨਾਥਾ ਤੇਰਾ ਮਾਣਾ ॥
Garībā anāthā ṯerā māṇā. You are the Pride of the meek and the poor.
ਸਭ ਕਿਛੁ ਤੂੰਹੈ ਤੂੰਹੈ ਮੇਰੇ ਪਿਆਰੇ ਤੇਰੀ ਕੁਦਰਤਿ ਕਉ ਬਲਿ ਜਾਈ ਜੀਉ ॥੧॥
Sabẖ kicẖẖ ṯūʼnhai ṯūʼnhai mere pi▫āre ṯerī kuḏraṯ ka▫o bal jā▫ī jī▫o. 1 You are everything; You are my Beloved. I am a sacrifice to Your Creative Power. 1


ਐਸੀ ਲਾਲ ਤੁਝ ਬਿਨੁ ਕਉਨੁ ਕਰੈ ॥
Aisī lāl ṯujẖ bin ka▫un karai. O Love, who else but You could do such a thing?
ਗਰੀਬ ਨਿਵਾਜੁ ਗੁਸਈਆ ਮੇਰਾ ਮਾਥੈ ਛਤ੍ਰੁ ਧਰੈ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
Garīb nivāj gus▫ī▫ā merā māthai cẖẖaṯar ḏẖarai. 1 rahā▫o. O Patron of the poor, Lord of the World, You have put the canopy of Your Grace over my head. 1Pause


ਜਾ ਕਾ ਮੀਤੁ ਸਾਜਨੁ ਹੈ ਸਮੀਆ ॥
Jā kā mīṯ sājan hai samī▫ā. Those who have the Lord as their Friend and Companion -
ਤਿਸੁ ਜਨ ਕਉ ਕਹੁ ਕਾ ਕੀ ਕਮੀਆ ॥੧॥
Ŧis jan ka▫o kaho kā kī kamī▫ā. 1 tell me, what else do they need? 1
ਜਾ ਕੀ ਪ੍ਰੀਤਿ ਗੋਬਿੰਦ ਸਿਉ ਲਾਗੀ ॥
Jā kī parīṯ gobinḏ si▫o lāgī. Those who are in love with the Lord of the Universe -
ਦੂਖੁ ਦਰਦੁ ਭ੍ਰਮੁ ਤਾ ਕਾ ਭਾਗੀ ॥੧॥ ਰਹਾਉ ॥
Ḏūkẖ ḏaraḏ bẖaram ṯā kā bẖāgī. 1 rahā▫o. pain, suffering and doubt run away from them. 1Pause

and also
paavan pavithr mithr aaj maerai aaye hai
divali di raat divey baliyan
then langgar - which was a feast! was served, full of love and seva by the veers from india. they even had jalebis and laddoo made!
the whole time i was thinking, i wonder how does Harmandar Sahib look like at that time, lit all over..ah bliss.. =)

RAAG ooh RAAG :D

as you may have noticed i have posted two videos. it all began with gurmukh veerji saying to me yesterday to listen to raag chander kauns. i was so excitek;klkljkhgd i went to check it out and found that video. then i totally stumbled upon bhai nirmal singh, and it was so coicindental as i wanted rain (thanks to the mosquitoes bugging me). and look!well,Gurujee has everything we can ever think of. haha.. so from now on i am going to post videos on raags daily, mainly for myself to learn. so what better way than raag mala? the first would be raag bhairao. here goes!hope its the right one.

well as for me, finals have begun!it really and seriously does not feel like it though. had the first paper today, and i was thinking, i need a raag to calm me down and help concentrate. is it hindol?

then i found another track, bhai parminder, sydney 08 thurs.

ਰਾਮਈਆ ਹਉ ਬਾਰਿਕੁ ਤੇਰਾ ॥

Rām▫ī▫ā ha▫o bārik ṯerā.
