Song Lyrics

I think in song lyrics a lot – NOT MY OWN I’m not a lyricist I just REMEMBER song lyrics. 

I carry a notepad with me where I write down song lyrics that are playing in my head (it’s kind of like a diary but written in song.. if I read it I know what I was feeling at that time.. or sometimes it’s just simply a song stuck in my head that has no rhyme or reason for being in my head). 

Sometimes in my notepad I just write whatever happens to strike my fancy – could be something that I want to Google later or something that I want to blog about, or anything really.  I’m going through my notebook right now and I thought I would just share some of the lyrics that have been in my head lately.  If you like lyrics read on!!!  If not I’ll hopefully see you in another post lol.  So these were scribbled in my notebook…  If you want to HEAR me say the lines below PLUS translation please click this (it might be easier to understand): http://www.filedropper.com/vn-20120315-00045

Eh ajnabi tu bhi kabhi avaaz dey kahin se.  Main yahan tukhro mein jee rahan hu, tu kahi tukhron mein jee rahi hai.  Roz roz resham si hawan aathey jaathey kehti hai bata
resham si hawa kehti hai bata,
vo jo doodh duli masoom kali voh hai kahan kahan hai? voh roshni kahan hai vo jaan si kahan hai main adhoora tu adhoori jee rahin hai THIS JUST GOES TO SHOW THOSE IDIOTS THAT SAY HINDI MOVIE SONGS ARE BS – If you understand the words and the language man they are freaking amazinggg poems.  Some of the most talented lyricists everrr.

“Paas rehkey bhi thi doori (when you were close you were still far), jaaney kaisi thi majboori? (wonder what kind/why there was that problem/circumstance)  Vakht voh bhi ajeeb tha (that time was strange), jab tu mere kareeb tha (when you were close to me).”  To which the guy says “Koh gayi tu ye kis jahan mein? (where have you gotten lost in this world?) main yahan hoon dekh toh zara (I’m right here, just look!)”

“Beedh mein bhi thi tanhayi (Even in a crowd I felt lonesome), yaad har pal teri ayi (I thought of you all the time), rokhey koi mujhey zara (Someone stop me), bhar na aye ye dil mera (my heart just might overflow/fill up)” - - -

Kothey tey charkey vekh di ni maiye koi vekh di veerey da rah.  Dooron te vekha mera veer vi aye mere aya saah vich saah

Tum paas aye yoon muskaraiyen tum ne na jaane kya sapne dikhaye.. kya karoon hai kuch kuch hota hai ;)

Rom rom tera naam pukarey… hum se hum hi chin gaye jab se dekhein nain tiharey

Beliya kya hua jo dil koh gaya?  Mahiyan ishq mein Khuda mil gaya.

Mainey tujhse mohabbat ki hai, ghulami nahin ki balma.

Tujh pe shuru hui tujh pe hi khatm ho duniya meri duniya, duniya meri, jo bhaath dil mein thi, naino ne boldi, main hoon teri main hoon.. main hoon teri.  Tujhko hi yaad karkey ahey baroon mein, mil ke bhi mil na paoon ab kya karoon main?  Mil ke bhi mil na paoon, ab kya karoon mein?

Chaaha tha maine, socha tha mainey, kya kya the armaan dil nadaan ke.  Akhon mein asoo ayi par koi na aya, ab tu kisi ko bhi apna key hai bulaana.

Sexy Vs Skanky

In terms of fashion, at the end of the day – you should do whatever you want BUT, that being said this is a really good quote by Edith Head (something the “rule of a lady” people forgot to mention!!).  Edith is an 8 time Academy Award winner for costume design and designed for some of the most beautiful women in the world – Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, Katherine Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Sophia Loren.. just to name a few.

She really hits it on the nail with this…  I’ll be the first to admit that when I was younger I could have cared less about being a lady!  I was a geek for so long with a flat bum and no boobs that when I got some (a little) I was just like WOOHOO!  If I’m going clubbing or something I’ll wear whatever I feel good in but otherwise I think this is a great rule to have in mind when picking out an outfit.  Tight enough to show you’re a woman, loose enough to show you’re a lady.  DONE!

Personal Meltdown!

I’m having a personal melt down right now.  Most of the time I don’t give a eff what someone thinks about me.  Maybe I’ve just developed thick skin over the years or maybe it’s my obsession with women like Marilyn Monroe and Angelina Jolie or maybe it’s the fact that the amount of love that I receive for being myself has eclipsed any naysayers.  I’ve opened myself up to the universe and received so much love in return!!  Maybe it’s because I feel like people have talked so much crap about me that I’m just used to it.  Maybe it’s because I think other people are idiots most of the time and I’m actually super cool.

Sometimes though, sometimes I feel like I am the most out there and weirdest chick ever.  Maybe I’m giving myself too much importance but all of a sudden I’m sitting here with this gripping fear and realization that MAYBE MY PARENTS WERE RIGHT?!

WHO…WHO is going to marry a girl that is this out there, who secretly (or I guess not so secretly anymore) wants to be an actress and writes her thoughts out for the world to see on a blog and wants to put DANCING freaking VIDEOS of herself on Youtube and loves item numbers in Bollywood songs and would totally love to be in one because she doesn’t think it’s “dirty” and thinks people who thinks it’s dirty are dirty.?  Who would want to be with a girl who wants to travel the world and work crazy amazing jobs that are fun because she doesn’t care about money , who wants to be able to get up and leave whenever she wants and live in 3 different countries, who wants to join politics and write and act and dance and host a food n travel tv show and become an Egyptologist and makeup artist?  Who would want to be with a girl who thinks in lyrics and writes lyrics down on paper and wants to save the world while holding a designer bag, who buys Maclean’s, Times, Psychology Today magazines the same time she buys In Touch and Star because Kim Kardashian is on the cover and then takes notes while reading Elle and Vogue, who buys like a book a week from Kobo and Google’s images of Mumbai for fun?  Who would want to be with a girl who feels bad for her teddy bears that don’t get regular hugs and makes sure to divvy them up fairly, who will put her family before anyone else, who actually likes alone time and goes to watch movies in the cinema alone, who shops in the toy section for herself while pretending it’s for her nieces, who cries when Italy doesn’t win the World Cup and eats Pringles like they’re going out of style?  Who would want to be with a girl who is fiercely independent  yet still wants to live with her in laws (and really I mean if I didn’t live with my in laws what would have been the bloody point of learning how to cook roti and every sabji and curry out there – today’s generation sure as heck wouldn’t appreciate my rotis and FYI I can’t make western food only indian and singaporean).  Who would not get scared after checking out my blog? Who would marry a girl who wants someone to run with her not walk and who is so fiercely loyal that she had the same mp3 and camera for 6 years even though she works at an electronics store?  Who  planned out the rest of her life starting from gr.8 the first day she went to her best friends house and is still best friends with her and pretty much followed the plan lol.  Who would want to marry a girl who has strong opinions and thinks for herself?  Hmm…Wait a second I sound kinda cool actually (to myself anyways – and that’s all that really matters!)

Personal meltdown over.  For all of you who no doubt get that gripping fear that you’re never going to find anyone (that everyone feels every once in a while…if you didn’t feel this way you probably wouldn’t be a very nice and compassionate individual) – Here’s some advice for you:

Goodnight boys and girls – wait for the one!!  Oh and…If any asshole leaves or gives up on you, remember – they’re just an asshole! ;)

POV

Sexually liberated or persuaded by males into thinking this will make her attractive/liberated?
It’s all about your point of view isn’t it, but at least make sure your viewpoint is an educated one.  Those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.
My reason for writing this blog post is because I’m sick of people judging other people who don’t look like them.  I’m also sick of people not knowing anything about other people’s religion and Islam is one of the more misunderstood religions, although Sikhism is often thought to be an extremist, violent religion as well – I will keep this post on Islam.
Pocahontas said it best:

“You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You'll learn things you never knew you never knew”

Yeah that’s right I just quoted Pocahontas from a Disney movie and yes I know Disney is effing sexist and racist half the time but I LIKE THE SONG GODDAMIT. 
Look, I understand why so many western women think that women who wear a burqa or hijaab are repressed.  When they hear stories of women who are not allowed to leave their houses or work and simultaneously see images of women in a niqaab or burqa they automatically leap to the conclusion that it is the religion that is oppressive.  I don’t know how many times I’ve heard racist comments by people who I KNOW, people who would consider themselves NOT racist say racist things about Muslim people.  Are there many oppressed Muslim women in this world?  Yes!  Are they oppressed because of Islam?  No!  If you knew anything at all about the religion you would know this.
You think Canada or Vancouver is a place that isn’t very racist?  All you have to do is read news stories online and see the racist comments underneath and you’ll know the truth.
