Just felt like watching a Rajini song..after a long time..No idea who the actress is...like her sarees and blouses! And lots of bangles..adorning just one hand:)

by Guest Sat Jul 14, 2012 9:59 am

hmm, the singer is Lata M.

by Maria S Sat Jul 14, 2012 10:20 am

Really? Thanks Tracy.

Apparently the actress is Nayantara..She looked different in this song..could not recognize her (only watched parts of Chandramukhi!)

This is a lovely song..with Dhanush and Nayantara..interesting to see FIL and SIL romantically interested in the same lady (for artsake of course!)

*More bangles:)

love the song M akka. here, for you. the spinning instructor started of with belinda carlisle and finished with i drove all night...

by Guest Sat Jul 14, 2012 11:27 am

(sorry maria for hijacking your convo. -- you can post again about rajni)

for those intested: making of womaniya.

this is anurag kashyap's dream movie (and perhaps his best so far). i've watched it twice already and i think i will watch it once more. i am certain (whole of) gorakhpur is singing and dancing to the tunes of this flick these days. congrats gorakhpur!

by Maria S Sat Jul 14, 2012 11:35 am

Thank you very much ma..I:)

Both songs are very nice! Have not heard "I drove all night" before..I like Belinda and Celine songs.

So you are into Spinning?..All I am into these days is head spinning:)

HK,

You can certainly interrupt the Rajini conversation- well, it's not all about him..we started with him,. but quickly moved away!

by Guest Sat Jul 14, 2012 1:56 pm

i am obsessed with this song. there are some vulgar but phunny gaalis in it, lol. the tune is bindaas. o womaniya.

OMG sneha khanwalkar, are you tripping!!! the soundtrack for GOW 2 is out: http://gaana.com/#!/albums/gangs-of-wasseypur-2

she incorporates contemporary trends from the rest of the world and fuses it with bollywood music in a way not done before! no holds barred this time. KKL (keh ke lunga) beats the original hands down! that stalker-ish, banshee-ish voice in it is hers; ramadhir singh, you are in trouble, lol. KKL is set in dubstep i understand (new word i learnt today). moora (both versions) are sublime. taar bijli is superb. kaala rey (sung by her) is haunting. chicha ledar and aabroo are i-am-out-of-adjectives-with. aabroo is sung by piyush mishra! sneha you rock!

by Guest Mon Jul 16, 2012 11:55 am

add electric piya. should be #1 in my list above (but after KKL).

@ aabroo lyrics in qawwali fast forward mode:

Toh ruk…

Sand ban ke nache-ga, sarey aam tuu..

Bhaand ban ke muhaley mein chaa jayega.

Hum to duryodhan ke poot, saath mein raavan ke chele

Hum to bhari-putna surpanakha ki godon mein khele

hum to aise hain chandal cheer ke kutta khate hain

hum to aise teer-andaj aadmi ain chabate hain

hum to shakuni hain, hum kansraj hain kulta shulta neech

hum toh narbhakshi hain, gaay bhains ka chara khaan ley kheench

arey hum maar tamancha, bail pe nikley, bail bech aaye

hum to kirkit ka balla chodo hum khel bech aaye.

Haaji maula Haaji maula Haaji maula, Haaji maula Haaji maula..

i wonder why this thread's subject line is "what are you listening to right now?" there's a certain rude urgency in that Q. why not "what are you listening to?" or "what have you been listening to lately?"

by Guest Wed Jul 18, 2012 12:32 am

you make a good point. i'll send a note to akka and he can add this to the queue of things he must do when he logs in next. thanks!

"what are you listening to?" sounds good.

Vot to do, Unkil? Some of us live in the present. Hence the rude urgency. But never mind us. You're free to post what you listened to lately ie 30 years ago on those gramaphone records. We won't laugh. Promise.

found mention of this song while rummaging through my diaries today. sweet.

by Guest Sun Jul 22, 2012 12:09 pm

amusing anecdote by jagjit singh in the song (as an interruption):

"mukarar" pe mujhe ek lateefa yaad aa gya hai. isi tarah ek gana chal raha tha stage(?) pe. to ek sher pe mukarar ki awaaz aayi. to fir sher dubara padh diya gaya. uske baad fir mukarar ki awaaz aayi to gane wale ne fir dubara sher padha. uske baad fir mukarar ki awaaz aayi. to gane wale ne teesra dafa fir padha. lekin fir mukarar ki awaaz aayi. to gaane wala bolta hai ki sahab mujhe agla sher bhi padhne dejiye abhi. to audience me se awaaz aati hai ki jab tak aap isko sur me nahin padhengey hum mukarar hee bolte rahenge.

by Guest Thu Jul 26, 2012 2:15 pm

it is painful to read ghalib’s ghazals. It is more painful to hear them sung in a plaintive voice by jagjit and chitra singh. tonight I decided to revisit some – tomorrow I won’t, rather never.

i also searched my diaries when listening to it (for I recalled I had made an entry). here is the entry I had made when reading or/and listening to it for the first time:

ishqq mujh ko nahee, wahsat hi sahi,
meri wahsat teri shorat hi sahi.

- ghalib

I want this couplet engraved in gold on my copy of orpheus and eurydice’s love-story, in shining gold, on the first page that beholds the eye when it's hardcover is peeled away. And the fool that I am, I will run my blind fingers over the letters of this engraving, trying to feel it's words, and forever procrastinating the reading of the book to yet another tomorrow.

there is no consummation in ghalib and in bahadur shah, mir taqi, momin, and the biraadri. there is only yearning, longing, succumbing to the heart and half-drawn arrows. mirza sahib to kothe kothe ke chakkar katte rehte hain, pata nahin unhe kaheen sakoon kyun nahin milta? jab ki kothi mein, her shaam, bibji unkee rah dekhtee rehtee hain, whispers a woman pinching another. begum sahiba is a devout, pious muslim of aristocracy.

kaash ghalib ki tarah humein bhi apne aap se itni nafrat hotee
Kaash hum dhobi ke gadhey ki tarah na ghar ke na ghat ke na hotey.

good song. thanks for posting!
