Happy Diwali!

Been a while since I last posted something here...

What better than pictures...

These were taken by me on Diwali this year...

Ram Darbar...

Soon after the pooja.

Rangoli-- Courtesy Prachi...

Picture-- Courtesy Urs Truly

Prachi-- busy with preparations for the big night!

After all the hard work, time for some masti... :)

Amma and Prachi... love ya both!

Considering that the pictures were clicked on a 1.3 mp mobile phone camera.... they came out well...

HAPPY DIWALI!

Jag Ja…

jag ja ri gudiya

misri ki pudiya
meethe lage do naina

nainon mein tere,

hum hi base the

hum hi base hain,

hain na.

o ri raani, gudiyaaaa,

jag jaa, arii jag ja, mari jag ja.

halka sa kosa,

subho ka bosa,

maan jaa ri,

ab jaag ja.

naak pe tere,

kaatega bicchoo

jaag ja, tu maan ja

jo chahe le lo,

dashrath ka vaada

nainon se kholo ji raina

o ri raani, gudiyaaaa,

jag jaa, arii jag ja, mui jag ja.

kirnon ka sona,

os ke moti,

motiyon sa mogra.

tera bichauna,

bhar bhar ke daroon,

gulmohar ka tokra.

aur jo bhi chaho,

maango ji maango,

bolo ji, meri maina.

o ri raani, gudiyaaaa,

jag jaa, arii jag ja, oye jag ja.

jag ja ri gudiya..

Ajnabi

Ajnabi shehar hai

Ajnabi shaam hai

Zindagi ajnabi

kya tera naam hai...

Ajeeb hai ye zindagi, ye zindagi ajeeb hai

Ye milti hai bichhadti hai

Bichhadke phir se milti hai...

Ajnabi shehar hai

Ajnabi shaam hai...

Aap ke bagair bhi humein, meethi lagein udasiyaan

Kya, ye aap kaa... aap kaa kamaal hai

Shayed aapko khabar nahi

Hil rahi hai paaon ki zameen...

Kya, ye aap ka... aap kaa kheyaal hai

Ajnabi shehar mein

Zindagi mil gayi...

Ajeeb hai ye zindagi ye zindagi ajeeb hai

Main samjha tha kareeb hai

Ye auron ka naseeb hai...

Ajnabi shehar hai

Ajnabi shaam hai

Baat hai ye ek raat ki, aap badalon pe letey they,

hmm woh yaad hai, aapne bulaya tha

Sardi lag rahi thi aapko, patli chandi lapetey they,

aur shaan mein khowaab ke sulaya tha

Ajnabi thi sahi saans mein silgayi

Ajeeb hai ye zindagi

Ye zindagi ajeeb hai

Meri nahi ye zindagi rakeeb ka naseeb hai...
