Linkin Park - First Time

In the End
Yesterday was the first time that i ever listened a song by Linkin Park. I listened In The End and Numb. I liked these songs very much and then downloaded the whole discography of Linkin Park. 

Numb
For those who don't know anything about Linkin Park, it is an American Rock band. It has been named 3rd greatest band of the new millennium behind Oasis and Coldplay.

Anwar Khurshid And Arshad Khan Thirakwa



While surfing my one of the favorite blog i.e. 3 Quarks Daily , i came across this awesome video of Anwar Khurshid and Arshad Khan Thirakwa. The former is a sitar player who studied from Sitar School of Toronto and about the later i know just that he is a Tabla player and nothing more.

My Favourite Poet - Asadullah


Hazaaron Khawahishen Aisi

Today is the 143rd death anniversary of my favorite poet till date i.e. Mirza Asadullah Khan Ghalib. This post is just a tribute to Mirza Ghalib, Mirza Ghalib - Serial starring Naseeruddin Shah. The serial introduced the beautiful poetry of Ghalib to me which i rejoiced a lot. I think this is about 2-3 years ago. I am posting one of my favorite Ghazal by him in Gurumukhi.


ਰਹੀਯੇ ਅਬ ਐਸੀ ਜਗਹ ਚਲਕਰ, ਜਹਾਂ ਕੋਈ ਨ ਹੋ

ਹਮ-ਸੁਖਨ ਕੋਈ ਨ ਹੋ ਔਰ ਹਮ ਜੁਬਾਂ ਕੋਈ ਨ ਹੋ



ਬੇਦਰੋ-ਦੀਵਾਰ ਸਾ ਇਕ ਘਰ ਬਨਾਯਾ ਚਾਹੀਯੇ
ਕੋਈ ਹਮਸਾਯਾ ਨ ਹੋ ਔਰ ਪਾਸਬਾਂ ਕੋਈ ਨ ਹੋ



ਪੜੀਯੇ ਗਰ ਬੀਮਾਰ, ਤੋ ਕੋਈ ਨ ਹੋ ਤੀਮਾਰਦਾਰ
ਔਰ ਅਗਰ ਮਰ ਜਾਈਯੇ, ਤੋ ਨੌਹਾ ਖ਼ਵਾਂ ਕੋਈ ਨ ਹੋ




(ਹਮਸਾਯਾ=ਗਵਾਂਢੀ, ਪਾਸਬਾਂ=ਪਹਿਰੇਦਾਰ, ਰਾਖਾ, ਤੀਮਾਰਦਾਰ=ਇਲਾਜ ਕਰਨ ਵਾਲਾ)



In Roman

Rahiye Ab Aisi Jagah Chalkar Jahaan Koi Na Ho
Hamsukhan Koi Na Ho Hamzubaan Koi Na Ho

Be-Dar-o-Deewar Sa Ik Ghar Banaya Chahiye
Koi Hamsaya Na Ho Aur Pasbaan Koi Na Ho

Padiye Gar Bimar, To Koi Na Ho Teemardar
Aur Agar Mar Jaiye, to Nauhan Khwaan Koi Na Ho
