My guitar!!

It's a new year. I didn't make any resolutions. Because I didn't want to break any. But new things will be done as that's what defines the continuity of a meaningful life!! Woohoo!!:)

My guitar is sad because I don't play it. Only Vedant and Usman play it sometimes. And some other friends sometimes try out some random tunes on it for their love of music. A hand drawn chart of music notes and Major and Minor chords for guitar lie hung on my bed room wall , unrefereed and unused for a long time.

I hate this.I hate myself for this. I want to learn guitar. And I want to do it soon.

Listening to four hours of non-stop music on Pandora from the likes of Cold Play,U2,Pink Floyd,Keane,Killers etcetra makes me resolve to devote a day exclusively for music - enjoying and exploring it non-stop. Just not the music, it's origin and beauty too.It's gonna be 24 hours of music and nothing else. May be a bit of food and drink:)

Amen! I want to sleep now with music playing to my ears from my ipod.

la música es la vida!! viva la vida!!:)

"Chalte Chalte Mere Ye Geet Yaad Rakhna" by legendary Kishore Da

This song is a wonderful toast to the people who are in deep love with each other and are departing but don't want to say goodbye at their hearts. In the sweet voice of Kishore Da, this song captures all the emotions of such a heartbreaking moment.

This effort is dedicated to two of our ( read me and my friend circle) beautiful and charming Croatian female friends whom we bode farewell on the night before the previous. Though they may now be 7 hours apart from us , busy with their lives in beautiful Croatia, I am pretty sure they will always be part of our every party gossips:)

Song ( thanks to search on You Tube)
Chalte Chalte Mere Ye Geet Yaad Rakhna

Lyrics ( with English translation - thanks to google search result )

> (in Hindi)
followed by English translation:)

> Chalte Chalte Mere Yeh Geet Yaad Rakhna
As you walk along, remember my song

> Kabhi Alvida Na Kahna, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna
Never say goodbye

> Rote Hanste Bas Yunhi Tum Gungunate Rahna
While crying or laughing, simply, sing quietly to yourself

> Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna
Never say, goodbye

> Pyar Karte Karte Hum Tum Kahin Kho Jayenge

While loving each other,we will disappear

> Yunhi Baharon Ke Aanchal Mein Chhup Ke So Jayenge
Like sleeping in the gently blowing wind of the season

> Sapno Ki Duniya Mein Tum Yunhi Bulate Rahna
In the dream-world, you keep calling me

> Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna, Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna
Never say, goodbye

> Chalte Chalte... Beech Rah Mein Dilbar Bichhad Jaye Kahin Hum Agar
If we get lost, by chance

> Aur Sooni Si Lagey Tumhe Jeevan Ki Yeh Dagar
And quiet and calm feelings creep on your life's wall

> Hum Laut Ayenge Tum Yunhi Bulate Rehna
I shall return, you just keep calling me

Though very romantic, this song captures the emotions of any two ( or groups of ) departing souls in love with each other:)

With Love to Ana n Kata from all of your [UIP + non-UIP] friends from College Station, Texas:)!!
