Ehsaan tera hoga mujh par
Dil chahta hai woh kehne do
Mujhe tumse mohabbat ho gayi
Mujhe palkon ki chaaon mein rehne do
Ehsaan tera hoga mujh par…
You would be doing me a great favor
If you let me tell you what my heart desires
I have fallen in love with you
Please let me dwell in the shelter of your eyes
You would be doing me a great favor…

Tumne mujhko hansna sikhaaya
Rone kahoge ro lenge ab
Aansoo ka hamaare gham na karo
Woh behte hai to behne do
Mujhe tumse mohabbat ho gayii hai
Mujhe palkon ki chaaon mein rehne do
Ehsaan tera hoga mujh par…
You were the one who taught me how to laugh
Now, if you ask me to cry, I will
Don’t be hurt by my tears
They’ve already started to flow, so let them fall.
Because I’ve fallen in love with you
Let me dwell in the shelter of your eyes
You would be indulging me…

Chaahe bana do chaahe mitaa do
Mar bhi gaye to denge duwaayen
Udd udd ke kahegi khaak sanam
Yeh dard-e-mohabbat sehne do
Mujhe tumse mohabbat ho gayi hai
Mujhe palkon ki chaaon mein rehne do
Either make it or destroy it
Even if it kills me, I will sing your praises
Flying around, the ashes will say,
“Let me bear the burdens of love.”
For I have fallen in love with you
Let me dwell in your eyes forever

Ehsaan tera hoga mujh par
Dil chahta hai woh kehne do
Mujhe tumse mohabbat ho gayi hai
Mujhe palkon ki chaaon mein rehne do
Ehsaan tera hoga mujhe par…
You would be doing me a great favor
If you let me tell you what’s in my heart
I have fallen in love with you
Please let me dwell in your eyes
You would be indulging me…

It’s been a while since I wanted to have a couple of chickens running around in my garden. Today I got impulsive and travelled just over an hour to Hullbridge in Essex to get some chicks. I originally wanted 1 day old chicks but they are more difficult to look after as they need to incubator to maximise survival rate. Despite day old chicks being so cute, I opted to have 7-9 weeks old chickens instead. So I got myself two hydrids and one pure breed (Orpington) which costs me a total of £40 (£24 for the 2 hydrids and £12 for the pure breed).

In about 7 weeks time, I’ll be getting free range eggs 🙂

(Aankh hai bhari bhari aur tum

Muskuraane ki baat karte ho) – 2

Zindagi khafa khafa aur tum

Dil lagaane ki baat karte ho

Aankh hai bhari bhari aur tum

Muskuraane ki baat karte ho

(Mere haalaat aise hai

Ke main kuch kar nahin sakti) – 2

Tadapta hai yeh dil lekin

Main aahein bhar nahin sakti

Zakhm hai hara hara aur tum

Chot khaane ki baat karte ho

Zindagi khafa khafa aur tum

Dil lagaane ki baat karte ho

Aankh hai bhari bhari aur tum

Muskuraane ki baat karte ho

(Zamaane mein bhala kaise

Mohabbat log karte hain) – 2

Vafa ke naam ki ab to

Shikaayat log karte hain

Aag hai bujhi bujhi aur tum

Lau jalaane ki baat karte ho

Zindagi khafa khafa aur tum

Dil lagaane ki baat karte ho

Aankh hai bhari bhari aur tum

Muskuraane ki baat karte ho

(Kabhi jo khwaab dekha to

Mili parchhaaiyaan mujhko) – 2

Mujhe mehfil ki khwaahish thi

Mili tanhaaiyaan mujhko

Har taraf dhuaan dhuaan aur tum

Aashiyaane ki baat karte ho

Zindagi khafa khafa aur tum

Dil lagaane ki baat karte ho

Aankh hai bhari bhari aur tum

Muskuraane ki baat karte ho

Meri Kahani Bhoolne Wale

Here is the song ‘Meri Kahani Bhoolne Wale’ from movie ‘Deedar’.

Meri Kahani Bhoolne Wale

Tera Jahan Aabaad Rahe

Meri Kahani…

Mere Geet Sune Duniyane Magar,

Mera Dard Koyi Na Jaan Saka, Na Jaan Saka,

Ek Tera Sahaara Tha Dil Ko, Ek Tera Sahaara Tha,

Tu Bhi Na Mujeh Pehechan Saka,

Bachpan Ke Voh Geet Puraane,

Aaj Tujeh Na Yaad Rahe,

Meri Kahani..

Mein Apna Fasana Kehna Saka,

Mere Dil Ki Tamanna Dil Mein Rahi, Lo Aaj Kinare Par,

Lo Aaj Kinare Par Aake, Armaanon Ki Kashti Doob Gayi,

Armaanon Ki Kashti Doob Gayi,

Kismat Ko Manzur Yahi Tha, Lab Pe Mere Fariyaad Rahe,

Meri Kahani…

Meri Kahani Bhoolne Wale
Tera Jahan Aabaad Rahe
Meri Kahani…

Being a Microsoft guy, i wanted to have a blogging platform on windows. So i initially wrote a small application which would allow me to write simple stuffs. As i started using the app though, i found that i needed more functionality built into it but since i didn’t have any time to do it myself, i deciced to search for a blogging engine that would have the facilities i was looking for and two, be able to run on a windows platform. I thought about WordPress but because it’s written in PHP i decided to ditch it and go for something else.

I searched everywhere on the internet for a free blogging engine in .net to run on windows but there were very few available. I tried one of them and it was really really basic, so i opted for Subtext. Subtext is really good but it lacks many functionalities. Like i was trying to edit the date on one of my posts the other day and i couldn’t do that. The thing is sometimes we want to write something but backdate it so that it reflects the appropriate day the particular event happened. I mean for me blogging is a way to log things happening in my life and stuffs which i want to remember. However you don’t always have the chance to write about something on the same day that it happened! The other thing is that i wanted my permalinks to be extensionless but Subtext appends the “.aspx” extension to all posts which does not make it really portable (if in the future you want to move to another blogging platform)

Subtext is still in its infancy and i’m sure it will do well in the future. At the moment however, i need something more mature so i decided to go for WordPress (yeh, i know, i should have done it before!). With the large number of themes available to you and the different plugins for you to use, you can’t go wrong. And there’s more support for that software too. Therefore i’ve moved everything (i had less than 50 posts btw) to WordPress. I love the functionality it offers and i’m glad with it 🙂

A couple of rafi songs from YouTube:

• Teri galiyon meh naa
• Pathar ke sanam
• Yaad na jahe bité dinon ke
• Dil jo na kei sakha
• Apni aankhon mein basaakar
• Teri duniya se door
• Meri kahani bhoolne vale – Deedar
• Is rang badalti duniya meh – Raj Kumar
• Huwe hum jinke liye barbad – Deedar

I’ll keep updating the list when i have time.

The Bank of England has raised the interest rates by 0.25% so that now it stands at 5.25%. It is expected to increase to 5.5% by the end of 2007. What that means is that it is now much more difficult for first-time buyers to afford a home. The links below give more insight into the consequences of this interest rate increase:

And me who wanted to climb on the property ladder this year! Well it does not look very promising, does it? The average 2 bedrooms house just outside London costs £180K and with £150K you will just get a flat. Who wants a flat anyway. Well not me – i hate annoying neighbours and prefer my own space. Not even sure if i’m eligible for a £150K mortgage, what am i talking about eh? Let’s just hope i win the lottery in the coming month 🙂

For the mauritians abroad or even local who wants to listen to some nice segas, here is a list a websites with some great songs to download:

Just a link to my technorati profile. Let’s see if the spiders can find it. If successful, might as well know if the html tags are working in the ‘edit post’ feature of my site. Technorati Profile

After my last unsuccessful attempt to build a Flashing LED Sweetheart, i was really upset that two and a half hours of hard work was wasted because of a silly mistake – creating a short circuit while soldering the pieces of the kit on the copper board. However i’m finding the excitement to build another of these electronic circuitry again today. I usually get the kits from Maplin store (http://www.maplin.co.uk) as they cost between £5 to £15 each. I’ve actually set my eyes on two starter kits. The first one (pictured above) is a Roulette kit and the second interesting one i’ve come across is the Running MicroBug kit. The roulette is fairly straightforward ie it picks a number at random. But the Running MicroBug is quite appealing as it crawls towards a light source. With two open chassis sub-miniature motors and a light sensitive device attached to its body, it is a very nice little gadjet to play with.
