Barriers need to be broken in love

Hi Readers,

At times like this when we see the whole of humanity fighting with pure hatred, anger, jealousy and ignorance, there does stand a few people that want to give pure love, happiness, compassion and open-heartiness for others. This is what we need in this world and only one word brings it all together is one word and that is love.

Love in romance is something that I talk about, that I discuss with you all but how about I tell you the special bond that is created between two people that are in love. This bond that creates a special unity in diversity. A bond that gets two people from different backgrounds together. A bond that breaks every shackle that surrounds the heart.

Loving someone with a different personality to yours?
Is this possible? Yes, it is. After having a long time to think about it. If someone doesn't flirt with you but says they love you...is that pure love? I don't question it anymore. Flirting is minor feelings, loving is the greater thing. Then about being romantic. Is it necessary to be romantic with your partner? Not really, I could be the most hardcore romantic but my partner could be the exact opposite to me. Should I tell her to change and be romantic with me? If I do then why do I do that? Am I now putting conditions on the love?

Conditions in love
This is one of the harsh realities which breaks relationships. I have realised this the hard way that the more conditions we put in a relationship, the shackles that once surrounded the heart begins to surround it once again. The shackles become tighter and tighter and BANG! The heart breaks and the relationships flows away! It is not our partners that tend to be wrong, it is us. If I am saying my girlfriend should be like this and that, then who needs to change me or her? It is me that needs to change because she is loving me the way that she would love her boyfriend but it is me who is setting her instructions on how to love. I am wrong not her. We need to realise that it is wrong to put conditions in love or in relationship.

Realisation that 'I' am in the wrong.
This is what we need to think about carefully. Are our partners willing to forgive us for our mistakes? Our partners are they willing to see that we made a simple mistake? Is it a simple mistake? Realisation of a mistake or realisation that you are in the wrong is good but we need to ask for forgiveness. We don't know how much pain we have put someone through by our ignorant conditions. Have they ever put conditions on us? No, they might not have put any yet we freely say that they should be like this and that. Ask for forgiveness and I am sure that if your partner loves you they will come back to your open arms.

Never put conditions in a relationship and whoever tells you that this is right or this is wrong in a relationship, don't do what they want you to do. Every relationship is different and unique and only the two in this bond know what is right and wrong. There is no 3rd person in a relationship, there is only two people in a true bond of true love.

Lots of love,
Rahul N. Singh

Ghajini Music Review

GHAJINI MUSIC REVIEW
Firstly, this album should not be compared to Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. It is for a different audience and is different in style. The music is by A R Rahman and lyrics are by Prasoon Joshi.

Guzarish – We all heard this song in the promos. This does not disappoint. Rahman is on form with this song. We know that this is a love song. The music is soothing and the lyrics work on you after a while. Although the lyrics are not that special, the visuals that were seen in the promo will make this song special. The music itself is great and there is no doubt about that. Javed Ali does well with the song.
My verdict: This will work with audiences, the promo for the song has already been appreciated. Surely will be a chartbuster and I love the song.

Aye Bachchu – This song is rather modern. It is different and Suzanne does well in singing this song. As this is the first time I have heard such music, I have to say it is foot tapping and I do enjoy it. I can't tell how this will work with the movie. So this will be a surprise. Rahman is brilliant again and he is experimenting and I appreciate that. Lyrics again are fairly average.
My verdict: This song will take its time to grow on you but it surely does. I could not understand what was being said at first but you kind of get the hang of it. It is an average track and should work. Again, it might work well with the visualisation.

Kaise Mujhe – This is another love song and I love the way it starts. Benny Dayal and Shreya Ghoshal sing this song. I love Shreya's voice, she is perfect as usual. Benny Dayal does justice to music that is excellently created by Rahman. I feel at times that Benny could sing a little louder. The music is pleasing to the ears as it is slow and this song will only get better with the visuals. This song does take time to grow on you. The lyrics are pleasing at times.
My verdict: With visuals this song will grow and grow. It is sweet and soulful. This song is for the romantics and I personally enjoy it. Lyrics are nice too.

Behka – The promo for this song has just released with Aamir sporting six different looks. I love this number which is fun and enjoyable. It is one of those songs you just sit back and relax. The visuals as we know are brilliant. The song grows on to you. Karthik sings well, nothing great at first but then grows on to you. The lyrics are again very average but the tune does become catchy. Rahman does really well with this song. When the music paces up in the middle, it is great. It is my favourite part of the song.
My verdict: This will definitely work and with the visuals it will create a strong impact. The music is what stands out for this song. This will be a chartbuster.

Latoo Latoo – Shreya Ghoshal is again amazing in this song. She only is getting better. This song is for the clubs. The tune is catchy and foot-tapping. The lyrics are great for this song. Shreya shows her versatility with this song. Rahman creates excellent music for this song. I really like it and it grows on you at the very least on the second listen. The visuals will definitely help this song and this should be the next song that the makers should use for a song promo.
My verdict: This song will work and will be a chartbuster. I love this song and I am sure it will work with the audience. Again, it is the music that stands out and Rahman is a genius.

Kaise Mujhe (Instrumental) – If you just want to hear the music with no lyrics to this song, it is a total treat. I really enjoy it and it is worth listening to. Sit back, close your eyes and allow the music captivate you.

Overall verdict: I feel this album is very commercial but different. It will take time for it to settle and after the film releases it should do really well. Critics will praise this and it should be praised. Comparisons will be made with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi but that would be useless. They are both very different and both are great soundtracks. There are similarities such as both are fairly short albums and will take time for the listener to enjoy it. Guzarish, Kaise Mujhe, Bekha and Latoo Latoo will surely work for the majority of the audiences.
This is not Rahman's best music score but it is appreciative. It should do well. I do prefer Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na but that was a different film to this. I hope that the music justifies itself with the film. Lyrics by Prasoon Joshi are fairly average and could have been done better. However, give the album a few tries and the music will grow on you!
Rating: 6/10

FIRST PREVIEW! Paralysed in Evil

Hey Readers, I hope you enjoy the first preview to the next novel that I am writing. Please give me your feedback on this on the comments sections below!

Sometimes you can wonder what it is like to be normal. Being normal is said to be unique. The more unique I become, does that mean I am more normal? Or becoming more normal? The more I look into my world, the more uniqueness I see. The oneness of my world, it surely has become unique. I stand here, the rain dripping off my face, my eyes squinting to see what lies in front of me. Just as my eyes are trying hard to focus on what is in front of me, my mind is trying just as hard to cope with the pain I feel right now. This pain that leads straight to my heart, but this powerful rage engulfs my soul. This power that I have always searched for has finally been broken free, that power that was contained within me for a long, long time. How can I allow this to happen? I am going to allow this to happen, it is my life. I do what I please, as I please, whenever I please. As my mind speeds into change, I think about what I have witnessed. What am I going to do about this? This is what I cannot understand.

I am sick and tired of these two lives. Be good at home and then a monster at work. I wasn't a monster at work though, I don't think I was anyway. I didn't do anything wrong. I just gave loans out illegally! Oh wait...I lent people money and they gambled on horses. I got commission from it but that doesn't make me a bad man. I did it all for my family. My family that apparently loves me. Hmm loved me. This dark night is just what my family is going to be, what my wife is going to be. A dark past. A dark but distant memory.

This bench is soaking wet, I can feel my trousers sticking onto it, I hate it when that happens. It annoys me. It creates this anger that flows so freely in my blood now. I cannot explain yet what has caused all this. Do I even want to share it with my own self? I need to go for a walk, this bench, this wet bench, soaked with rain is irritating me. This park is so dark, full of silence. Silence is in the air, I can see a dim light. A dim light, that is what my wife is now to me. A dim light. Everything is finished. However, as everything finishes, another life is about to start. Another life is about to merge with my soul. That is what I do best. I am a criminal. I support the criminals, I give them money, I promote them, this is my job. The very job that has took me away from my family. The very job that created distances in my own mind. How did all this happen? I question this mind so much but what is the need for questions? I have to accept what is in fate for me. These trees, how calm they look, at times I wish I was like a tree. Calm, enjoying nature, watching the beauty of the sky at night. All I have has gone from my life. All of it. I feel like laughing hysterically, my mind is everywhere. I cannot concentrate on what I want to do, or what emotions to give out. The flashbacks keep playing in my mind. My world is spiralling in front of me, a beautiful sight but the outcome is not so good. The outcome is that my world becomes dark and lonely. I did so much for my family, for my wife and son. What didn't I do that was right? I can't understand what I did to get deceived like this.

Me, I am the most ruthless criminal out there and I get deceived. By my own people. My very own people deceive me. What should I do? Clap my hands in joy? Haha. How ironic is it that the very own people that you love, they hurt you so much that all the pain turns into a power that is beyond any human measurement. This power that surrounds me on this open park field. I raise my arms and feel the intoxication of this power consume me. This power that flows through the veins of my heart and silently touches my heart, it slowly...slowly...slowly takes over my heart. My eyes...they feel heavy, the energy makes me lose all control of my senses.

Silence...silence...silence...not one sound can be heard except for the breaths that I inhale and exhale. This power is flowing in each and every vein, in every vessel of my body, it has captivated my heart. As this power pumps through my body it reaches my mind. Two seconds of complete unconsciousness invades my life as the power hits my brain with great strength. As my eye lids slowly open, slightly heavy at first but they get lighter and lighter, it is a feeling of tranquility. My eyes concentration is on the tree that is directly opposite me. I take a deep breath in, it feels different, my body feels different, my vision is different. I am different. This is not me now. This is not what I usually feel, I am in complete control. As I look around now, this tree looks dark, it's different. This dark sky, is what is exactly in my mind. It is dark, my mind is full of fatalistic ideas. Ideas that can create havoc in this world. This night cannot get worse, it can only get better. This is my night, where I should rise up to my challenge. I want to be the biggest criminal but not any normal criminal. I want to do something different, I want to infiltrate information to make me achieve whatever I desire. What I desire is complete satisfaction in life and there is only one way. One way to reach this destination. One way to reach the very outcome of my aspiration to create a world of my own. A world with my rules. Every villain in this world wants world domination, I want domination in my world from now on. No more being nice to people. This time it is about my true colours, I will show them my true colour. This one colour that has lead me to become one with myself.

This oneness that has now took over me...has created one outcome and that is when two worlds come together as one. It leads to one powerful entity and that is the energy and persona of evil. I am Sameer and this is my story on how I became one with the power of evil.

Rab Ne Bana DI Jodi Theatrical Trailer!

Hi Readers,

The theatrical trailer is up for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. All I can say it is a blockbuster in the making. Although the trailer does not show much about the story, you still cannot guess the storyline. You do see love, happiness, dance, music, smiles, comedy, pain and tears.
You know that SRK works for a company called Punjab Power, his name is Surinder Saini. Then you seen Anushka. Once you see Anushka, you hear that Suri has fallen in love with her. They go out, you see they are in the cinema. She is laughing and Suri does not find whatever is on the cinema screen to be 'funny' and looks at her surprised.
This leads to the 'Raj' get up which is obviously Suri, you can tell SRK is going to surprise from there. You see the bits of the 'Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte' song and you see Suri fighting a sumo wrestler. You can tell this is full entertainment.
Suddenly you see pain and tears and know we can only assume what it is about and we have to wait till the 12th December to see it. However, it is obvious that this film will be a complete entertainer and has what it takes to be a blockbuster. Please click the link below to watch the theatrical trailer online.

Understanding the person you love!

Hi readers, I am going to answer some questions as a writer, as a person how do I feel towards these things. Here is an insight into the way I think about these subjects.

Why do we react in such ways that we regret later because we didn't understand our partners, our family or our friends?
Reactions are the most important actions we do. The way we react towards problems, sad moments, happy moments or any emotional moment. At times, I think about the when I have a fight or a misunderstanding with someone, I tend to ignore the person. However, my intention is not to ignore the situation but to stay away from further problems. One little wrong doing can be rather regretful for ourselves. I've always said sorry first if I am in the wrong. I think that is the best way to sort things out. It does not matter about who says sorry, the fact is apologising is a very humbling action to do. Personally, it keeps my arrogance and ego in control. As part of the understanding bit...do we understand the people we love? Do we even understand ourselves?

Why do we feel lonely despite knowing we are loved?
This question is rather interesting. Being lonely is not a good thing and there must be a lack of understanding with the love we receive. It is not that we want to feel lonely, it just happens. There are times when I feel lonely but it is a state of the mind. We bring it onto ourselves more than other people bring it onto us. Maybe you feel lonely because you feel a loved one doesn't understand you? Or that they don't tell you that they love you or your partner doesn't express their love to you or is not romantic with you. That may not even be what we should be questioning! What we should be questioning is have we understood the person that we love the most? I often think that as a writer, if my character is feeling lonely, it is because that character wants to feel lonely. You cannot feel lonely with a crowd of people, there is bound to be a person that has a similar personality. To get out of this state of being lonely, go to the person that you love and feel that you are connected, in fact become connected.

Why do we 'withdraw' from the people we love the most?
This leads from last line from the previous question. Despite feeling connected to the people we love, can we still withdraw ourselves? I think it is possible. I do it sometimes. I do not withdraw in the sense, I am away from that person. I am still with that person but I withdraw into my own mind and try to understand the person. We tend to withdraw when something does not go our way. We do this because we have to analyse the situation or the matter, or because we just want to release our anger and frustration. If a loved one wants to do something that goes against what we expect or believe, do we withdraw and think about it? Yes, I do. As a person I do it so I can understand the person and their state of mind. However, I find withdrawing from the person you love, does not really bring any positive results. It is something I need to change, so my message for myself and for you is: Don't withdraw...be open with the people you love!

Why do we stop understanding our own dreams despite having support from your partner/loved ones?
Nothing can stop you from understanding your own dreams, if it does then it is only your fault...do not try and blame others. I am lucky. I admit it. My loved ones support me in my dreams. It is so great having a best friend who wants to market your blog and is willing to spend their time and effort in doing so. It is great having your soul-mate support you and your dreams, and makes you believe that your dreams are only a second away from reality. So why should we stop understanding? We are not alone in our quests. There are always people in this world that give genuine, unconditional support. Use them as you would use yourself. Do not mistreat anybody (friend or foe) as this obstructs your dreams. Your dreams are always to do something good for yourself and for the people you love. That is what personally keeps me going. I know my loved ones love seeing me write, reading what I write and giving me feedback. This gives me strength to carry on. Trust me, everyone is loved. If not, then come to me and I will love you and restore faith and understanding in your dreams

Why don't we understand the person we love?
This is one question which kind of concludes all the questions. They all stem from this one question. I have to say this; if you don't understand the person you love, then you do not understand love. Sometimes, yes the person we love asks or says something we dislike. Yet, do we need to react so rudely at times? No we don't, think before you say anything or react to anything and try to understand that person. Ask questions, that is what we are scared of today...asking questions. The more we ask, the more we learn and understand. Also, sometimes we don't get what we want because our loved one doesn't understand why we need or want to do it. Don't misunderstand their intentions. They always think best for you but always make yourself clear. Sometimes, it is hard for them to adapt and change, but then do we adapt and change for them? If we don't then how can we expect them to change and adapt for us. It comes down to understanding in any relationship, it is always two-way feeling. The more two-way it is, the more understanding there is. Be open, tell the people you love that you love them. Life can bring so many happy moments but it is you that needs to bring it! So go on and understand the person you love. If you have understood them...then simply say 'I love you' all the time!

Please give me your feedback on this and how you feel that you can adapt it in your life. Thanks for reading.

Lots of love,
Rahul N. Singh

New pictures, movie stills and story for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi!

Hey readers, Here is more information for you all and new pics. Please check them out!

http://www.yashrajfilms.com/microsites/rnbdjmicro/fullpage.html




















Synopsis
Have you ever stopped to think if the most ordinary, uninteresting, unobtrusive man you might see on the road or around you might have a love story to tell?
Maybe not! How can an ordinary man have a breathtaking, goose flesh igniting, awe inspiring love story of all things to tell? But guess what - love does not differentiate between the ordinary and exceptional, the uninteresting and interesting, the unattractive and attractive. Because love knows no distinction. It can happen to anyone and once it does it engulfs us into it completely and gives us those miraculous experiences that only love can yield.
This is what happened to Surinder Sahni (Shahrukh Khan) - a simple, clean hearted, honest man working for Punjab Power, leading a humdrum life, when he meets his total opposite and finds love in the flamboyant, fun-loving, vivacious - Taani (Anushka Sharma) for whom the whole world is her canvas and she paints her own life with the colours of rainbow all until unforeseen circumstances changes it all and brings them together.
What follows is a journey filled with laughter, tears, joy, pain, music, dance and a lot of love. A journey that makes us believe that there is an extraordinary love story in every ordinary jodi.

All pictures and synopsis is available on: www.yashrajfilms.com

Thanks and lots of love,
Rahul N. Singh

Lyrics and english translation of songs from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Hey Everyone, Here are the exclusive lyrics and english translation to the songs of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi! Enjoy these simple but amazing words!

TUJH MEIN RAB DIKHTA HAI - ROOPKUMAR RATHOD

Tu hi toh jannat meri
You are my paradise
Tu hi mera junoon
You’re my obsession
Tu hi toh mannat meri
You’re all my wishes put together
Tu hi rooh ka sukoon
You ease my spirit
Tu hi akhiyon ki thandak
You’re the shade for my eyes
Tu hi dil ki hai dastak
You knocked on the door of my heart
Aur kuch na janoon main, bas itna hi janoon
I may not know much but this I do know
(Tujh mein Rab dikhta hai
I see God in you
Yaara main kya karoon) – 2
My love, what am I to do?
Sajde sar jhukta hai
I bow my head before you
Yaara main kya karoon
My love, what am I to do?
Tujh mein Rab dikhta hai
I see God in you
Yaara main kya karoon
My love, what am I to do?

Kaisi hai yeh doori
Oh how much is this distance!
Kaisi majboori
It’s so frustrating!
Maine nazron se tujhe chhu liya
I touched you with my gaze
Kabhi teri khushboo
Sometimes it’s your fragrance
Kabhi teri baatein
Sometimes it’s your words
Bin maange yeh jahaan paa liya
Without asking, this world became mine
Tu hi dil ki hai raunak
You light up my heart
Tu hi janmon ki daulat
You’re a lifetime of treasures
Aur kuch na janoon main, bas itna hi janoon
I may not know much but this I do know
(Tujh mein Rab dikhta hai
I see God in you Yaara main kya karoon) – 2
My love, what am I to do?
Sajde sar jhukta hai
I bow my head before you
Yaara main kya karoon
My love, what am I to do?
Tujh mein Rab dikhta hai
I see God in you
Yaara main kya karoon
My love, what am I to do?

(vasdi vasdi vasdi dilte dil vich basdi
you deeply reside in my heart
hasdi hasdi hasdi dil rove te hasdi)
my weeping heart smiled

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi haaye…
God has joined this couple together

Cham cham aaye
You came softly
Mujhe tarsaaye
And tormented me
Tera saaya chhed ke choomta
Your shadow teased and kissed me
Tu jo muskaaye
When you smile
Tu jo sharmaaye
When you get shy
Jaise mera hai Khuda jhoomta
It’s like the spirit inside me dances
Tu hi meri hai barkat
You’re my good fortune (my luck)
Tu hi meri ibaadat
You’re my prayers, my devotion
Aur kuch na janoon main, bas itna hi janoon
I may not know much but this I do know
(Tujh mein Rab dikhta hai
I see God in you
Yaara main kya karoon) – 2
My love, what am I to do?
Sajde sar jhukta hai
I bow my head before you
Yaara main kya karoon
My love, what am I to do?
Tujh mein Rab dikhta hai
I see God in you
Yaara main kya karoon
My love, what am I to do?

(vasdi vasdi vasdi Dilte dil vich basdi
you deeply reside in my heart
hasdi hasdi hasdi dil rove te hasdi)
my weeping heart smiled
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi haaye…
God has joined this couple together

HAULE HAULE - SUKHWINDER SINGH

Haule Haule Se Hawa Lagti Hai

Haule Haule Se Dava Lagti Hai
Slowly Slowly (just as) medicines work slowly
Haule Haule Se Dua Lagti Hai
Slowly Slowly (just as) prayers are answered slowly
Haule Haule Chanda Badhta Hai

Haule Haule Ghoonghat Uthata Hai

Tu Sabar To Kar Mere Yaar
have a little patience, my love
Zara Saans To Le Dildaar

Hain Din Jindri De Chaar
life is too short for that
Haule Haule Ho Jayega Pyar Chaliya
slowly slowly you will fall in love my dear
Haule Haule Ho Jayega Pyar
slowly slowly you will fall in love

Ishkedi Galiyan Tang Hain
the path of love is difficult
Sharm O Sharmee Mein Band Hai
It's bound by shyness
Khud Se Khud Ki Kaisi Yeh Jung Hai
its a strange war with myself
Pal Pal Yeh Dil Ghabraye
this heart worries all the time
Pal Pal Yeh Dil Sharmaye
it feels shy all the time
Kuchh Kehta Hai Aur Kuch Kar Jaaye
it says something and does something else
Kaisi Yeh Paheli, Mua Dil Marjana
its a difficult puzzle, but this silly heart
Ishq mein Jaldi, Bada Jurmana
(does not understand) being haste in love is a big crime

Tu Sabar To Kar Mere Yaar
have a little patience my love
Zara Saans To Le Dildaar
take a deep breath my dear
Chal Fikr Nu Goli Maar Yaar
Go shoot all the fears away, my love
Hain Din Jindri De Chaar
life is too short for that
Haule Haule Ho Jayega Pyar Chaliya
slowly slowly you will fall in love my dear
Haule Haule Ho Jayega Pyar
slowly slowly you will fall in love

Rabdaavi sab koi hona
Everything happens by God’s grace
Kare koi yun jaadu-tona
So I hope He casts a spell
Man chaahe maan jaaye haaye mera sona
So that my sweetheart accepts me

Rab de sahare chalde
God will guide your steps
Na hain kinare chalde
So what if you don’t see the shore, keep on going
Doli hai na kahare chalde
So what if there’s no palanquin, keep on going
Kya kehke gaya tha shayar woh sayana
Look at what the poet once came and said
Aag ka dariya doob ke jaana
It's an ocean of fire, you have to drown to swim across

Tu sabar toh kar mere yaar
Have a little patience my love
Zara saans toh le dildaar
Take a deep breath my dear
Chal fikr nu goli maar yaar
Go shoot all the fears away, my love
hain din jindri de chaar
Life is too short for that

Haule Haule ho jaye ga pyar chaleya
Slowly Slowly you’ll fall in love
Haule Haule ho jaye ga pyar
Slowly Slowly you’ll fall in love

Oh ek haath ko ooncha uthale
Now raise one hand all the way up
Oh mandir ki ghanti bajale
Like you’re ringing the temple bell
Le ban gaya step soneya
See now that becomes a step
Tu ban gaya hep soneya…hey
And you look so hep(hip/cool), sweetie
Oh dooja haath hile zara neeche
Now bring the other hand down
Oh jaise udti patang koi kheenche
Like you’re reeling in a flying kite
Le ban gaya step soneya
See now that becomes a step
Tu ban gaya hep soneya
And you look so hep(hip/cool), sweetie

Woh banda hi kya hai jo naache na gaaye
What sort of person doesn’t dance or sing?
Aa hath mein tu hath thaam le
C’mon hold hands with me
Oye dance pe…dance pe…d-d-d-dance pe chance maar le
Take a chance on dance
Oh soneya dance pe chance maar le
Sweetie, take a chance on dance
Oh baliye dance pe chance maar le
C’mon lover, take a chance on dance
Oh soneya dance pe chance maar le
C’mon sweetie take a chance on dance
Oh dance pe…..dance pe….
Take a chance on dance
Oh soneya dance pe chance maar le
Sweetie, take a chance on dance

PHIR MILENGE CHALTE CHALTE - SONU NIGAM

RAJ KAPOOR:

Pyar hua, iqraar hua
Love was given and accepted
Jeena yahan, marna yahan
This is the place to live and die
In bahon ko, in raahon ko
In these arms, in these paths…
Chhod yeh chhaliya jaayega kahan
Where would this trickster go leaving them behind?
Maana dil toh hai anari
My heart may be innocent
Yeh awaara hi sahi
May even be a rebel
Are bol radha bol sangam hoga ke nahin
But tell me Radha, will we be together or not?

Har janam mein rang badalke
Changing colors in every lifetime
Khwabon ke pardon pe hum khilte
We blossom behind the curtains of dreams/thoughts
(Hum hain raahi pyar ke
We are travellers on the path of love
Phir milenge chalte chalte) – 2
We’ll meet again as time goes by

DEV ANAND:
Dil ka bhanwar kare, kare pukar
The heart calls out
Jab pyar kisise hota hai
When someone falls in love
Jiya oh jiya kuch bol do
Say something my darling
Ab dard sa dil mein hota hai
Now there's a pain in my heart
Ho tere ghar ke saamne ghar banaoonga
I’ll build a house in front of yours
Toota hi sahi
Even if its a broken-down one
Pal bhar ke liye koi pyar kar le
I wish someone would love me
Jhootha hi sahi
Even if it’s a lie
Jhootha hi sahi
Even if it's a lie
Haaye jhootha hi sahi
Oh..even if it's a lie

Har janam mein rang badalke
Changing colors in every lifetime
Khwabon ke pardon pe hum khilte
We blossom behind the curtains of dreams/thoughts
(Hum hain raahi pyar ke
We are travellers on the path of love
Phir milenge chalte chalte) – 2
We’ll meet again as time goes by

SHAMMI KAPOOR:

Yahooooo!!!!!!!!!

Oh haseena zulfonwaali jaane jahan
Oh my beauty with the gorgeous tresses
Chaahe mujhko Junglee kehde saara jahan
So what if the world calls me a barbarian
(Oh mehfil mehfil tu phire
you skip from place to place
Yahoo yahoo dil kare) – 2
And my heart cries out yahoooo!
Badan pe sitaaren lapete hue
Your beautiful body draped in stars

Har janam mein rang badalke
Changing colors in every lifetime
Khwabon ke pardon pe hum khilte
We blossom behind the curtains of dreams/thoughts
(Hum hain raahi pyar ke
We are travellers on the path of love
Phir milenge chalte chalte) – 2
We’ll meet again as time goes by

RAJESH KHANNA:

Hey jai jai Shiv Shankar
Hail Lord Shiv Shankar
Kaanta lage na kankar
Neither thorns nor stones can hurt us
Chaahe kuch kar le zamaana
No matter what the world does
Mere jeevan saathi, mere sapnon ki rani
My partner in life, queen of my dreams
Zindagi safar hai suhana
This journey is a beautiful one
Kuch toh log kahenge
People will always comment
Na suna kijiye
Don’t listen to them
Hey chain aaye mere dil ko
All I want is peace in my heart
Dua kijiye
Pray that I get it

Har janam mein rang badalke
Changing colors in every lifetime
Khwabon ke pardon pe hum khilte
We blossom behind the curtains of dreams/thoughts
(Hum hain raahi pyar ke
We are travellers on the path of love
Phir milenge chalte chalte) – 2
We’ll meet again as time goes by

RISHI KAPOOR:

(Dard-e-dil, dard-e-jigar
The pain of the heart and agonies of the heart
Zamaane ko dikhana hai) – 2
I want to show the world
Hum kisise kam nahin hain
I’m no less than anyone
Tujhko yeh bataana hai
I have to show you this
Yeh vaada raha
That’s my promise
Oh meri Chandni
To you, my Chandni

Har janam mein rang badalke
Changing colors in every lifetime
Khwabon ke pardon pe hum khilte
We blossom behind the curtains of dreams/thoughts
(Hum hain raahi pyar ke
We are travellers on the path of love
Phir milenge chalte chalte) – 2
We’ll meet again as time goes by

TUJH MEIN RAB DIKHTA HAI (SLOW) - SHREYA GHOSHAL

Na kuch poocha
You didn’t ask anything
Na kuch maanga
You didn’t demand for anything
Tune dil se diya jo diya
Whatever you gave, you gave from your heart
Na kuch bola
You didn’t say anything
Na kuch tola
You didn’t weigh the pros and cons
Muskuraake diya jo diya
Whatever you gave, you gave with a smile
Tu hi dhoop tu hi chaaon
You’re the warmth, you’re the shade
Tu hi apna paraya
You are my own yet a stranger
Aur kuch na janoon main, bas itna hi janoon
I may not know much but this I do know
(Tujh mein Rab dikhta hai
I see God in you
Yaara main kya karoon) – 2
My love, what am I to do?
Sajde sar jhukta hai
I bow my head before you
Yaara main kya karoon
My love, what am I to do?
Tujh mein Rab dikhta hai
I see God in you
Yaara main kya karoon
My love, what am I to do?

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi haaye…
God has joined this couple together

Lots of love,
Rahul N. Singh

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi: Music Review!

Hi Everyone, this is the exclusive review for the music of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. The music is composed by Salim-Sulaiman. The movie is produced by Yash Chopra and directed by Aditya Chopra. We eagerly await to see Anushka Sharma who debuts in this film. Most of all it stars the biggest Superstar and the King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan.

Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hain - Part 1.
Starts with a lovely melody. One has to praise Roop Kumar Rathod is amazing from the start, he does not dissapoint and he carries the song brilliantly. A full on romantic track with an amazing beat. The lyrics are simply describing his love and compares it to God. It has a sufi feeling to it. The words are simply beautiful. Indian instruments are used and you appreciate that, it is very soothing for the ears and mind. In the middle and the end, Roop Kumar Rathod sings 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' it is full of soul and is so warming for the heart. The song straight away leaves a mark and you even start singing to the words. I cannot wait to see how SRK emotes and acts in this song.

Haule Haule
This is the song that was heard in the promo. Once you hear the full version, you love it even more. You get surprised on how good the song gets, the way it progresses. Again, simple lyrics. It describes how someone feels in love, the exact feeling you get is that you want to shout that you are in love from the rooftops. This song makes me jump with joy and it does make me want to express my love. The music flows very naturally. Again, this carries an indian feeling to it and you appreciate that this is keeping it simple. Vocally, Sukhwinder Singh's voice is outstanding as usual.

Dance Pe Chance
Sunidhi Chauhan starts and her singing is soulful as usual. This is a foot-tapping song and is easily a song, that I would dance to in a party or a club. Labh Janjua compliments with the punjabi vocals very well and is great to hear. This song is about giving yourself the chance to dance. The music is amazing and is a definite chartbuster. I cannot wait to see how SRK-Anushka dance to this. It will be great to see.

Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte.
This is a great song, it starts brilliantly. This is the very song that features 5 actresses. This reminds me of all the great songs of the past. It holds a nostalgic feeling. Lyrics are obviously great and no complaints there as they are simple. Salim-Sulaiman have integrated all the songs and have still left their mark to it. I must say it is difficult to do but they did it brilliantly. the song has been constructed so well and it is easily can be called a masterpiece. Sonu Nigam leaves his mark with this song. This is a great tribute for cinema and thank you Adi for putting this song in the film. Again, this song will be about the picturisation.

Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hain- Part 2.
This is the female version rendered beautifully by Shreya Ghoshal. The song is for less than two minutes but you do appreciate how a woman should appreciate the man infront of her. This is the exact same for a man, he should appreciate the woman infront of him and that was the message in the first part. Both parts want you to realise how important it is to tell your lover that you love them.

Dancing Jodi
A remix version of the songs. This could easily be a club favourite. Starts with 'Dance Pe Chance' and then moves onto 'Haule Haule' and then to 'Tujh Mein Rab Dikhta Hain'. They follow each other smoothly and elegantly. When 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' is rendered in the remix, it gels so well! Again, a potential chartbuster.

Conclusion
All songs are worth being chartbusters. Infact this album is a chartbuster. It is a very diverse album and thank God, all the lyrics to the songs are simple and compliment the music really well. The lyrics all have a meaning and there is no silliness in them. The music is full of soul and substance and have kept to an indian touch. I feel that this is personally one album is for the romantics and it does hold a universal appeal. In fact, it is simplicity that is the key factor in the album. If Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na had 'Pappu Can't Dance' then Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi has 'Dance Pe Chance'. This will make everyone dance on the dancefloor. Go on everyone and dance. Then we have 'Haule Haule' which gives us the feeling to shout out our love story from the rooftops. 'Tujh Mein Rab Dikhte Hain' is the song that you just want to look into the eyes of your loved one and say 'I love you!'

I cannot rate this album.It is a classic in the making, it deserves to be a classic. It is officially my favourite album of the year. The songs leave you thirsty for the picturisations of them. If the songs are brilliant, the expectations for the movie is only higher. The fact is since the lyrics have content, we can safely assume that the movie has content too.

For those that want to see what I would rate it, I will rate it for you. If you want me to be harsh just like Simon Cowell then it is a 8/10. If you want me to be me then it is a 10/10. Well done to Salim-Sulaiman, Jaideep Sahni for the lyrics, to the singers, to the producers and most of all to Aditya Chopra! Everyone go and buy this album, it is worth it!

Lots of love,
Rahul N. Singh

Everyone wants to be loved: Shah Rukh Khan's amazing interview!

Everybody wants to be loved

By: Sarita Tanwar

Date: 2008-11-05

That's what Rab De Bana Di Jodi is all about, says SRK who knows a thing or two about being loved

Shah Rukh Khan does things king-size. With Om Shanti Om last year, he took the promotion of a film to a new level. Then, that became the standard. Now, with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, he wants to go several steps ahead.

Fact: SRK knows marketing so well, it's a good thing for many in the field that he chose acting instead. SRK is teaching 'Hush' Raj Films a thing or two on how to sell a film. Read on as he talks about his pet project.

You're actively involved with Rab De. Comment.
Yes, I wanted to start talking about my role and the film sooner, but Adi requested me not to do so before the 2nd.

Is Rab De... anything like Amol Palekar's Golmaal?
No. I have based my characters in Rab De... on two people I met during Paanchvi Pass. The production house would give me DVDs of all the finalists. I requested them to give me the DVDs of everyone who auditioned.

These are half-an-hour dvds, where the contestants dance, sing, and answer questions. So, in all, you get a good view of this person. I based one character on this guy who didn't make it to the show. And the other character, on this guy who came on the show. He was from Punjab and he played a guitar. I have forgotten his name, but I remember he called John Abraham, John Ibrahim. And I have also used that in the film.

Are you worried about being accepted as the simple Surinder?
Adi and I were not sure if we should unveil the deglamourised part of the film first to the audiences, but then we decided that 'this' is the film. And I firmly believe: Never lie to people about your film in your promos. We should tell them what the film is, let them make a choice. People who are anyways going to watch a film with Adi and me, will come anyway, thinking kuch toh hoga. Because there is a certain quality attached to the kind of work that we do. So we went ahead with that look. We want people to get used to it. I remember for Chak De! India I got lot of backlash for my beard. They said, 'It looks horrible' 'He doesn't look nice.' This is because of lack of knowledge of what the film is, then you build it up. I really have no denial about the storyline when people assume things. Adi gets very disturbed. He's very secretive.

So let the secret out now!
It's a very beautiful and simple story. Of finding yourself within your own head and heart. I love the tagline Every ordinary jodi has an extraordinary love story. But extraordinary is to them. If you start telling me your love story about 'how he quietly stole out of the office and got me this biscuit because I was sick that day.' I will be like, 'haan yaar theek hai na.' Even though to you it is a very special memory. For someone else, the story is, 'he flew to Australia to get me 1968 ka wine..which was not available here.'

And your love story would be...?
To me, it would be that 'she called'. She called me when she was in the middle of whatever. And the film is like that. About a character called Surinder Sawhney who works for Punjab Power and he tries to light up your life.

Adi hasn't made a film in a long time...
(Cuts in) I am very proud of the fact that Adi decided to do a film like this after Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge and Mohabbatein. Which is only about two people. There is no third character, except for Vinay Pathak, who is there for a bit of the film. There are only three people in the two-odd hours. I just saw it, and it's very heartening, very pleasant, very nice and it makes you want you to be in love with yourself. I feel 80 per cent of the people look at a star and say, 'I am like that.' That's why you like a star. And the other 20 per cent look at a star and think, 'I want to be like that.'

I think it's more aspirational. People want to be like their idols. They don't think they are like them.
I don't agree. Otherwise, I would not be a star... I am so normal.

Maybe it is the characters you played that fans wanted to emulate.
When I started out, it was different. Now when you look at me, the persona walks in before I do. But before this, when I came, people said he is too thin, he's brown, his hair is like a bear, he speaks too fast, he doesn't dance too well,and his clothes are too loose.

But you still worked!
Yes, but I didn't work as a pin-up boy. I worked because a lot of people are like me. Every big star in this world has worked because he or she is a mirror, in which people see themselves. I am responsible for creating lots of Rajs and Rahuls. A lot of hip cool guys. But I am not a hip, cool guy. I am actually Suri (Short for Surinder, his character in Rab De). Adi is Suri, Karan is Suri but we have a persona, which we like to be and we become comfortable with it and start living it. I live it. I live like a king. I am King Khan. But I am not actually King Khan.
I want people to understand that. I have given audiences, guys they would like to be. Now I'm giving them the guys they are. And I want every woman to fall in love with her lover and say kaisa bhi hai, yeh hi hai.

So the tagline should be, come fall in love... with your man.
The whole beauty of the film is a woman feeling about her man: Itne interesting nahin hain, itne handsome bhi nahin hain, actually thode boring hain... lekin this is it. I don't know why, but I love him. It's like a parent feeling my kid is so damn special, but maybe he is not special. Your husband may be so special to you, but maybe he is not special... try and sell him as a speciality outside. He won't. I see women who love their husbands so much. You see 90 per cent of the really pretty ladies loving very simple-looking men and you wonder what she sees in him? Even my wife yaar... who am I in front of Gauri? She was always a much hipper person than I ever was. This film is the answer to the world's query of what she sees in him. She sees him. That's the answer.

So, what does Gauri see in you?
There's something more to a man that you love. Than a good father, brother, husband, and being caring and sweet, has a great sense of humour. Ask any girl what you like in a man and she will say He should have nice eyes, he should be honest, and have a sense of humour. Very few women will say, his butt. In Rab De, the girl's only criteria is: he should love me. That I think is the honest truth. We have forgotten that one basic trait that includes it all, including the attractive butt. Everyone just wants to be loved. There's a guy we are trying to create in Rab De. A guy a woman can say: Can you just love me, can you just spend time with me. I ask so much girls that I know, why do you like me. They say: you are just nice, you like us back. You respect us. That's what I think it's all about.

SOURCE

Hey everyone, I hope you enjoyed this interview. I really love reading his views on love. It matches exactly how I feel towards love. I hope that every person who is in love shows their partner how much they mean to them and how much they love them. Go on and express your love. Watch out for Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, music is releasing tomorrow and the movie will be hitting the screens on the 12th December.

Lots of love,

Rahul N. Singh
