"Ghazalon Ke Kaynat Ka Chamakta Sitara"

The title is how the 94.3 radio one folks described Jagjit Singh. He has been gone on for journey towards the after life. May his soul rest in peace!
Its been a few days since Jagjit Singh passed away but he has left us all with treasure trove of beautiful songs to depict our soulful moods and melancholy...
I was thinking about the rich songs of his and thought I should give an Ode to him by picking some of my favourite songs from his collection.
1. Hoton se choolo tum mera geet amar kar lo -
2. Hoshwalon ko samajh kya
3. tum itna jo muskura rahe ho, kya ghum hai jisko chupa rahe ho
4. Jab koi baat bigad jaaye, jab koi mushkil badh jaaye
5. tum ko dekha toh yeh khayal aya
6. Shaam se ankhon mein nami si hai
7. jhuki jhuki si nazar
8. Kiska chehra ab main dekhoo tera chehra dekh kar

An Awesome Day!!!

Are you all wondering what am i doing up at 7am on a saturday morning?? no school, no work?
I thought the same thing too when my eyes opened this morning...but i was in a kind of a mood today. You see it all goes back to 3 days ago, when suddenly my hubby sprang it upon me that he was going on a trip to Coorg with his factory workers and I had big plans for this weekend!! It was the last day of holiday for my daughter and I had thot we cud atleast take her to a day trip somewhere... So last night I said bye to my husband and in the last 2 days I planned all sorts of things to do - spend some really good quality time with my daughter. But yesterday my cousins came down from my native and finally settled on taking the kids out to Cubbon park like we were taken when we were kids. We had some wonderful, joyous times then and we would look forward to holidays just because we were going to cubbon park...we would carry lunch and make a picnic out of it. Those were some fantastic times.
So, today I am going to follow in the footsteps of my mum and my aunts and take the kids there for a toy train ride. I am actually really excited! I hope the kids are too...
So, I got up at 5.30am in the morning, really couldnt go back to sleep...sat up reading a novel till 6.30. Then went for a long walk in the park, came back home and brewed a cup of tea for myself, all the while listening to music and I really wanted everyone to know what I was upto...So, sitting down and putting it on the blog.
Now I am going to make breakfast and then wake my daughter up to a wonderful day, like I did!!!

C u all!!
