What I Gained In 2009 !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

 Goodbye 2009 , Welcome 2010!

After reading the latest post on a reader's words i look back at what i gained in the year 2009 , i came to know that 2009 came with many changes in me .


First of all , i passed my board exams with good marks .
I read my first novel 'Five Point Someone' by Chetan Bhagat .
I learned Urdu and gained knowledge about many other languages.


After all which i never looked back , read Ward No. 6 by Chekhov , Alchemist by Paulo Ceolho , Ugly Duckling by Anderson and Nine on nine by Nandita Puri  . Now , i am learning Portuguese .


I think that there are many things that i have acquired in the year gone by ...........

3 Idiots - Vidhu Vinod Chopra

An excellent movie  based on the novel 'Five Point Someone' by Chetan Bhagat . I have read the novel and i got to know the changes made in it's story. But came out to be an amazing comedy movie . Another excellent movie by Aamir Khan .





A must watch movie ....................................................

فيروز بعدك على بالي

Sung by Fairouz

Translated by Chris ......

You're Still on My Mind He dropped by and asked me If ِApril had knocked on the door I hid my face And he rushed off from the door and left

I wanted to open for him
To explain him my love
I dropped by and didn't find anything but a rose by the door

You're still on my mind
Oh moon of the pretty ones
Oh flower of October
Oh gold of the most precious
You're still on my mind
Oh beautiful oh happy one
Oh basil and matthiola (a flower, for info see here thanks to shafik for the info)
On the plane of the highest

Summer rushed past with appointments
And the air rustled the grape bunches
And we didn't hear any news about you oh moon
And not a single person waved to us
As the nights came and went
And you're still on my mind, my mind


Here's the Original Arabic Lyrics :-


فيروز - بعدك على بالي

طل وسالني اذا نيسان دق الباب
خبيت وجي وطار البيت فيي وغاب

طل وسالني اذا نيسان دق الباب
خبيت وجي وطار البيت فيي وغاب

حبيت افتحلو
عالحب اشرحلو
طليت مالقيت
غير الورد عند الباب

بعدك على بالي
ياقمر الحلوين
يازهر التشرين
يا دهب الغالي
بعدك على بالي
ياحلو يا مغرور
ياحبق ومنتور
على سطح العالي

بعدك على بالي
ياقمر الحلوين
يازهر التشرين
يا دهب الغالي
بعدك على بالي
ياحلو يا مغرور
ياحبق ومنتور
على سطح العالي


مرق الصيف بمواعيدو
والهوي لملم عناقيدو
وما عرفنا خبر
عنك ياقمر
ولاحدا لوحلنا بايدو
وبتطل الليالي وبتروح الليالي
وبعدك على بالي على بالي


بعدك على بالي
ياقمر الحلوين
يازهر التشرين
يا دهب الغالي
بعدك على بالي
ياحلو يا مغرور
ياحبق ومنتور
على سطح العالي

Dikhayi diye yun ke bekhud kiya

i saw u such that i got restless

Hamein aap se bhi juda kar chale

u separated me from myself

Dikhayi diye yun ke bekhud kiya
Dikhayi diye yun

Jabheen sajda karte hi karte gayi

forehead kept on bowing in prayers

Haq-e-bandagi ham adaa kar chale

i m done with the duty of "Haq-e-bandagi=devotionaly truthful"

Dikhayi diye yun ke bekhud kiya
Hamein aap se bhi juda kar chale
Dikhayi diye yun

Parasthish kiya tak ke aye but tujhe

i kept worshipin "parasthish=worship" u u "buth=i think its statue"

Nazar mein sabhon ki khuda kar chale

made u the god in everyone's eyes

Dikhayi diye yun ke bekhud kiya
Hamein aap se bhi juda kar chale
Dikhayi diye yun

Bahut aarzoo thi gali ki teri

i was very much expecting the roads to ur home

So yaas-e-lahoo mein naha kar chale

bathed in the "yaas-e-lahoo=blood in despair"

Dikhayi diye yun ke bekhud kiya
Hamein aap se bhi juda kar chale
Dikhayi diye yun ke bekhud kiya
Dikhayi diye yun
