She makes me feel proto nostalgic.

I don't mind being labeled retro. Neither do I care if they call me senti nor I care a naught if they tag me weird. I am crazy about Noor Jehan. Mind blowing ghazals. She makes me feel I were born 50 years back and may be even had a chance of meeting with her face to face. I think I have a crush on her, when she was young. Errrr, grammatical error, or new emotion? 
BTW, this new emotion proto nostalgia was discovered by T-Rex in the dinosaur comics. Too much!

My new found love.

Mariz-E-Mohabbat Unhi Ka Fasana
Sunatha Raha Dam Nikalte Nikalte
Abhi Khaake Thokar Sambhal Ne Na Paye
Ke Phir Khaayi Thokar Sambhalthe Sambhalthe

I have started listening to ghazals (a new genre for me), as always, because of Hanger's influence. Intense voices, profound lyrics, smooth psychedelic instruments and runic compositions. I am always thrilled to discover new artists and genres. But this one has been a revelation. Don't believe me? Check my last.fm profile. So far, there hasn't been a disappointment. Jagjit Singh, Ghulam Ali, Munni Begum, Noor Jahan and Mehdi Hassan. The best part is that they neither disturb you while you are working like most of the new rock related genres do and nor do they let you doze off, while working late in the night. Here are a few recommendations, to start with. So that you will have the right perspective. Also, check out the total senti video. Good direction. It doesn't look lame.



1. Ghulam Ali:
  • Hungama Hai Kyon Barpa
  • Mariz-E-Mohabbat
  • Yeh Kisne Kehdiya Aakhir
  • Nigah-E-Mast-E Saqi Ka Salaam Aaya
  • Hum Ko Kiske Gham Ne Maara
2. Jagjit Singh:
  • Jhuki Jhuki Si Nazar
  • Hosh Walon Ko
  • Chaak Jigar Ke See Lethe Hai
  • Honton Se Choolo Tum
  • Koi Fariyaad
  • Tum Paas Aarahain Ho
  • Jab Saamne Tum
3. Noor Jehan:
  • Jo Na Mil Sake
  • Sur Sangeet Ki Jogan
  • Aashiyane Ki Baat

Mein Gott


'Will you keep crying like a baby always then dattebayo?', says Naruto, Uzumaki. I have tried n philosophies from books and religions. None really worked the way people had told me. I never got any answers from then. Strangely enough, this anime that I am addicted to these days, with its n philosophies has given me a lot of answers. Naruto's philosophy towards life, has helped me handle things much better. :). No, I mean it. Really.
Actually, these philosophies, not all of them, are trite. But, still the way Naruto puts them with emotion and all really gets me going. :)
And btw, Mein Gott is German for My God. :p
