Ek baar aise milenge

A Keyrun Rao Original

Nigaahein to mili hain,
kadam bhi kabhi milenge
Inayat rahi gar khuda ki
To khwabon ki kasam

Ek baar aise milenge
Baarishon ki tarah kuchh
Baadalon mein ghul kar
Pahaadon par barsenge

Kisi muraad ki tarah
Jo yun poora hua ek din
Badlenge aapka safar
Taaron se roshan hoga

Ek baar aise milenge
Noor ki tarah kuchh
Duaon mein ghul kar
Inayat ban kar barsenge

Raahat ho rooh ki
Mithaas bhar jaaye tu
Kya Pari hai jannat ki
Muskaane ki wajah tu

Ek baar aise milenge
Deewanon ki tarah kuchh
Khwahishon mein ghul kar
Khudayi ban kar barsenge

Adaa kuchh ghazab si
Nazar ujaala kar dein
Hayaa aisi ghazab ki
Dil ko ghulam kar de

Ek baar aise milenge
Faqeeron ki tarah kuchh
Koi ehsaan aisa karna
Neki ka jaisa koi jharna

Ek baar aise milenge
Khul ke dono jiyenge
Ek baar aise milenge
Khud ko fanaa karenge

Pyaar ka Punchnama: The boys pack a punch

At the music launch of Luv Ranjan’s directorial debut film Pyaar ka Punchnama (PKP), Ajay Devgn (who was one of the chief guests) summed up the movie in a single statement “This is a film about frustrated guys made by frustrated guys”. This observation by Devgn pretty much sums up this film which comes as a breath of fresh air and actually entertains the audience (even the multiplex snobs) enough to make them clap, whistle and hoot; especially throughout the first half.

There is one thing common between Ranjan’s PKP and Kiran Rao’s Dhobi Ghat and that is the approach they employ towards their subject using the protagonists. While Rao’s Dhobi Ghat has characters that encapsulate almost the entire spectrum of people living in Mumbai (which is the actual hero of her film) Ranjan’s PKP dissects the majority of modern-day relationships using the female protagonists as the alibi. Though touted as ‘laugh-till-your-belly-aches-fare’, this film looks at relationships seriously, albeit from the boys’ point of view.

PKP doesn’t tell us something that we have never heard about, especially about the boys vs girls debate. There have been scores of email forwards, SMS jokes and everything else in between that takes digs at the girls’ way of looking at relationships and life in general. What works for Ranjan is the fact that he has put together all the available material in the form of a cohesive story without actually saying that all women are evil. He puts it across in a balanced way where both boys and girls have their grey shades. If the girl is manipulating the guy for her needs, the guy has his agenda in place too.



In an attempt to make a ‘safe’ film Ranjan has packed in some songs which actually dampen the tempo of the otherwise crisp film. Not that the songs are bad it’s only that they take away from the realistic nature of how the boys and girls go about their lives. May be it was the producers call to make money from ring tones etc, but that is completely pardonable for a film of this nature, as it doesn’t aim to be a Dhobi Ghat in the first place.

What stands out in this film is the character graph of the guys. They all begin with being typical beer guzzling, abusive brats and the moment the girls find their ways into their lives, they are changed men. The expletives are replaced by the cheesy and how their priorities in life go for a toss. Ranjan brings forward these subtleties without making much fuss about it, but he does employ a comic signature tune to highlight how the guys are reacting differently. That does help the audience understand the joke and the reaction is something which very few films in recent times have been able to incite.

Any review of this film will remain incomplete without a mention of the monologue delivered by Kartik (who plays the cutesy lover boy Rajat aka Rajjo) and Divyendu (who plays the character called Liquid) who manages to bring the house down every time he opens his mouth. PKP is worth a watch, especially with your beer buddies and then maybe you could go out for a round of beer or two. Watching this film with the girl in your life might lead you to sleeping on the couch for a few days at least. Cheers!

You have been warned.

Intezaar mein…

A Keyrun Rao Original

Beh gayi saansein, jam gaya lahoo,
Intezaar mein tere kab tak rahoon?
Ghazlein suni, kuchh afsaane padhe
Zindagi chalti rahi, dhuup roz chadhe



Kabhi hawaon mein udti teri dua mili
Kabhi samandar ke namak mein paayi
Teri badmashi bhari muskaan mein
Asmaani gehraai humein di dikhaayi

Din-o-saal ke darmiyan lut rahe pal
Pahaadon se gire jaise koi jharna
Kabhi jo yaad aajaaun main kahin
Mere ishq ka salaam qabool karna

Intezaar mein jhapki lagti kabhi
Kabhi do aansoo toot ke gir jaate
Phir koi pyaari baat yaad aati teri
Rote hue bhi muskaate se reh jaate

Bada arsaa ho gaya hai ab juda hue
Phir bhi kal jaisa maloom padta hai
Hamesha ka saath to rehta nahin
Kyunki jism se bhi rooh bichhadta hai…

Filhaal faasle hain...

A Keyrun Rao Original

Kuchh lamhon ke saath ke baad
Khamoshi mein doobi aahein hain
Thehar jaate hain do pal aur
Kyonki filhaal to ye faasle hain

Khayalon se tez tujhse yun milne
Dhadkanon mein ghulna chaahte hain
Kitni saari pyaari baatein hum
Aapse kehna sun.na chaahte hain

Rooh mein basi aapki khushboo
Aankhon mein qaid pyaari muskaan
Bas inhi ke to sahaare meri
Beh jaati tanha raatein hain

Filhaal faasle hain, darr bhi hai
Dua ya jaam mein suqoon paate hain
Wapasi ke intezaar mein bojhal
Aaj mere saare khayalaatein hain

Duuri to hai, nazdeek phir bhi hain
Kareeb jald aane ke ye iraade hain
Chot bahut dete hain ye kambakht
Darmiyaan jo ye filhaal faasle hain...

Aashiq ka inteqaal...

Keyrun Rao originals

Kabhi dhuein mein teri tasweer dikh jaati hai, to pighle baraf ke paani mein ashq chhupa leta hoon.

Tere baad bhi tere saath hain, naraaz ho kar saaye bhi kabhi jism se juda hue hain?

Chaand takh.te hain wo badnaseeb, jinke palkon se mohabbat dhul gayi.
Unki yaadon mein ab bhi baadal chhaan leta hoon.

Teri mohabbat ki kishtein aaj bhi chukata hoon,
teri har yaad pe muskaate hue aansoo bahaata hoon.

Tujhse mila, ishq hua, khuda ki nemat hai,
teri yaadon mein shayari kehna, ab jaise ibadat hai.

Bahut shiqayatein thi kabhi, ke dil ka ye hulia banaya tune,
par khilaunon ka anjaam to hamesha yahi raha hai.

Sajde mein jhuka tha kuchh der, tu to khuda ban baithi,
raund ke mere dil ko qatl-e-wafa kar baithi.

Ishq-mohabbat sabke bas ki baat nahin,
shahaadat mein muskaana qafir ki auqaat nahin.

Mera ishq to tha hi ajeeb sa, andheron mein taare jaisa,
gareeb ki thali mein, jale hue roti jaisa.

Maula tab to tu koi aur tha, jab wo thi saath, aaj to tu bhi itraata hai,
dekh ke mera dil bad-naseeb sa.

Ab hans leta hoon kyonki ashq to beh gaye,
dil ke veeranon mein tere saaye reh gaye.

Sookh gayi palkein, kuchh yaadein reh gaye,
peechhe rahe hum, jeete hue maut si tanhaai seh gaye.

Auron ke aansoo to main bhi roya, par mere zakhm bhi taaza hain,
aaj aise rote hain ki lahoo bhi sharma jaaye.

Ab to aansoo bhi nahin aate, sookhe lahu se ho gaye hain,
kuchh sakht... kaale se.

Kitaabein bhar dete, tere naam ki shayari mein,
aaj usi shayari mein tujhko aur khud ko dhoondta hoon.

Maut hi aa jaati to achcha hota, teri yaadon ki baatein khuda se kar raha hota. Shaayad dil pighal jaata uska, main suqoon se to phir sota.

Faqeeran gale lagaa kar bahut royi, pagli ke ashqon pe kisi aur naam tha,
mere ishaare mein salaam aur dil mein bas alvida tha.

Lahu kaun dhoyega, safed chaddar pe aansoo chadha denge, yun kaun marta hai,
shayari pe waah-waah bichha denge.

Neend phir bhi aa jaati hai, ek maut nahin aati, teri khushi ke aarzoo mein, humein zindagi bhi nahin aati.

An appeal from Mohini Sharma...

Hi I am Mohini Sharma from New Mumbai,Me and my brother (17) have Spinal Muscular Atrophy II ( Its a motor neuron disease. The motor neurons affect the voluntary muscles that are used for activities such as crawling, walking, hands, legs head and neck control, and swallowing.)

I have done B.com and doing home based job since last 7 years in Andheri.But from last 1 year my mother is suffering from Spondylosis and we needed to shift from Andheri because she is not capable now to take care of us and as my father's office is in new mumbai.

Now after working seven years from home I would like to explore my working abilities and would like go out for job also home based jobs are not paying enough amount to run life smoothly.
As I am the second responsible person to run my family its necessary for me to get good job with enough satisfactory salary.I am seeking help to get modified power wheelchair which can be manufactured at callidai motor works of Chennai and it will cost around 1 lakh.Power chair will make me much independent at work premises as well as at home.
People heisted to hire people for job if they are on wheel chair,the power chair will make me independent and so will help me to get job too.
I have attached my resume for more details.

Warm Regards,
Mohini Sharma
