Remember when



Beautiful song and video,couldn't resist to put this video and lyrics on blog,nothing more sweet then growing up with someone and to have someone to love you always.

..Remember when I was young and so were you
and time stood still and love was all we knew
You were the first, so was I
We made love and then you cried
Remember when

Remember when we vowed the vows
and walked the walk
Gave our hearts, made the start, it was hard
We lived and learned, life threw curves
There was joy, there was hurt
Remember when

Remember when old ones died and new were born
And life was changed, disassembled, rearranged
We came together, fell apart
And broke each other's hearts
Remember when

Remember when the sound of little feet
was the music
We danced to week to week
Brought back the love, we found trust
Vowed we'd never give it up
Remember when

Remember when thirty seemed so old
Now lookn' back it's just a steppin' stone
To where we are,
Where we've been
Said we'd do it all again
Remember when

Remember when we said when we turned gray
When the children grow up and move away
We won't be sad, we'll be glad
For all the life we've had
And we'll remember when .

British Accent

At websites or our Comp/Laptops while writing,or at social networking sites(writing social networking sites so that "young" people can take interest ,:d),while writing anything ,the words,spellings ,depend upon the language/dictionary selected for the site.
American spellings are now becoming more universal as Microsoft software defaults to American spellings and often does not recognise British spellings.though many British spellings are a product of history, influenced by Shakespeare,Chaucer.
Words ending in OUR have been changed to OR in America.for eg- Colour.

When we type ,it always depends upon the dictionary we are using,if its British or American.they show a red underline if spell it in other language then the selected one.As I studied English Literature,I found British English much proper while writing.so (though I m not that perfect in it,but jus will share part of  knowledge i have)will share who like to know about British accent,slangs ,or are too confused still with the some words..and diff between British and American English,though in India ,American English is used widely,and in most part of the world,as i guess its much easier and  convenient for people.

Many American spellings differ from English spellings, the original settlers to New England taught English Webster's spelling-rules which omitted 'U' in words ending in 'OUR' (eg: honor/honour & color/colour, etc)  and also promoted single consonants instead of double consonants in 2nd syllables, (eg: traveler/traveller, etc) 
                   
Some common words which are spelt differently in British English and American English
(American English spellings in bracket)
-our (-or): behaviour (behavior); colour (color)

-re (-er): centimetre (centimeter); centre (center)

-se (-ce): to practise (to practice)

-ll (-l): jewellery (jewelry); quarrelling (quarreling); traveller (traveler)

equalling [UK] = equaling [US]
: axe (ax); bank cheque (bank check); cosy (cozy)

American spellings are often used in the UK for computer terms, but not when used for other meanings. You run a computer program, but watch a television programme.

Ok i wont bore for too long with this , you should thank me for not explaining diphthongs,vowels etc here. and will get to the point of some slangs in British.,I totally love British accent,who doesn't i guess,off course except few Americans mocking British accent ,and not to forget girls who drool completely over British guys cz of their accent.,wont get into Scottish and Irish accent for now,love that too.

"aiyt" = alright.
"nay" - no.
"naat-mean" = you know what I mean
 sod - same as bugger, as in sod/bugger off,
Rasclat - An idiot
On the Razz - Go out and have a good time!

.. then their are words like  twat..wanker, bollocks.
minging( disgusting, nasty),.dodgy.

Fogey- an old person ,with old views
skank = slut 
slump = knock someone out
 i can go on..but thats all for now. .

Here are some more words as they use and pronounce -

Canny - Can not
 Wilny - Will not
His nae - Has not
A fur goat - I forgot.
Dug - dog
Bried - bread

In a more clear way the pronunciation in British English (American English in brackets)--

 Ballet: ball-ay (ba-llay): stress is on the first part in Britain, but on the second part in America
Clerk: clark (clurk): rhymes with 'park' in Britain, but rhymes with 'work' in America
Tomato: to-maa-tow (to-may-tow): 'ma' is like the 'ma' of 'mark' in Britain, but like the 'ma' of 'make' in America
Privacy: pri-va-see (pry-va-see): the 'i' is short in Britain (like the 'i' of 'image'), but long in America (like the 'i' of 'idea')

The vowel sounds in American English are often quite different from those in British English, especially the "o" and "a" sounds, and the "r" at the end of a word. There are of course many regional variations.

If u want more of British,Scottish or Irish Accent,watch movies like Leap Year, Truth about Love,Love actually,and u will totally fall in love with it,but please avoid Americans talking in fake British accent in some movies :P.

Dikhayi diye yun..




First time writing about a urdu ghazal on my Blog..have always loved Urdu and Sufi poetry. This ghazal is by famous urdu poet Mir Taqi Mir ..written i think 250 yrs back..He wrote beautiful poetry in Urdu and Persian.
This gazal was in movie ,Bazaar..all great actors in the movie.
This is a pretty sad setting in the Movie in this song - the two Men sipping drinks are buying a young girl,
while the innocent lovers are lost in their feelings. Movie ends even more sadly.
The poetry is deep..jus have tried to write in short about the meaning of words..

Dikhayi Diye Yun Ke Bekhud Kiya
Hamein Aap Se Bhi Juda Kar Chale..

......I caught a glimpse of him/her and lost control of my senses..
and u separated me from myself and got so much into u that forgot myself but its all that matters in love,not me, just love.

Jabheen sajda karte hi karte gayi
Haq-e-bandagi ham adaa kar chale

..I bowed and kept bowing so much and did my duty of being faithful and truthful.and have right to love the person and bow in front of him/her.
 
Parasthish kiya tak ke aye boot tujhe 
Nazar mein sabhon ki khuda kar chale

.. I worshiped you and made u god in front of everyone..(as the person sacrificed his love and who sacrifices his love is worshiped and considered great by all in world) ..boot=idol/beloved.

Bahut Arzoo Thi Gali Ki Teri
   So Yaas-e-Lahoo Mein Naha Kar Chale

..Longed for your companionship and to live with u, but was utterly disappointed/dejected.
Yaas mean dejection/disappointment. Yaas-e-lahoo is the intensity of dejection/disappointment.
I yearned and desired so much for you and to be near u (lane)that I bathed in my blood in despair.

"Haq-e-bandagi=devotionaly Truthful"

Return to Innocence

Return to Innocence-Enigma


That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence

Love, devotion
Feeling, emotion
Love, devotion
Feeling, emotion

Don't be afraid to be weak
Don't be too proud to be strong
Just look into your heart, my friend
That will be the return to yourself
The return to innocence

If you want, then start to laugh
If you must, then start to cry
Be yourself, don't hide
Just believe in destiny
Don't care what people say
Just follow your own way
Don't give up and use the chance
To return to innocence

That's not the beginning of the end
That's the return to yourself
The return to innocence

Don't care what people say
Follow just your own way
Don't give up, don't give up
To return, to return to innocence

If you want, then laugh
If you must, then cry
Be yourself, don't hide
Just believe in destiny 

Love this song by Enigma.no words to describe the music.too beautiful,soothing..
This song is about more than being yourself if only on a spiritual level .
.and return to innocence..where you can laugh and cry and sort out your thoughts .. this song is an elixir .
also it tells to strive for achieving something,simultaneously remain content with your actual self and keep moving ahead in life with all ur innocence.

Viva Forever


"Viva Forever"

Do you still remember
How we used to be
Feeling together, believe in whatever
My love has said to me
Both of us were dreamers
Young love in the sun
Felt like my saviour, my spirit I gave ya
We'd only just begun

Hasta mañana
Always be mine

Viva forever, I'll be waiting
Everlasting, like the sun
Live forever,
For the moment
Ever searching for the one

Yes I still remember,
Every whispered word
The touch of your skin, giving life from within
Like a love song that I'd heard
Slipping through our fingers,
Like the sands of time
Promises made, every memory saved
Has reflections in my mind

Hasta mañana
Always be mine


Back where I belong now,
Was it just a dream
Feelings unfold, they will never be sold
And the secret's safe with me

hasta mañanae
Always be mine


Love this song by spice girls..i remember watching this video lot ,long time back..on music channels on tv.
the video was strange at that time for me..in the video two kids are roaming in woods..and suddenly some fairies appear..and one kid is fascinated by them,follows them and disappears in a cube like thing with fairies,..the other friend doesn't knows where his friend went,all he knows is he went into a world from where he will never come back and it will remain a mystery.
whether it is the result of death, disease, or just separation. he struggles with his emotions, which is symbolized through him struggling to solve the rubik's cube. By the end of the video, he places the rubik's cube in a case and throws it into a giant vending machine, indicating tha he  will keep the memories of him always.

The big vending machine at the end symbolizes a memory bank,and cubes in it memories.
the song is about  losing someone u love/like...and u still cant figure out How.
hasta manana in spanish means.will see u tomorrow..
