Pan Lilu Joyu ne tame yaad aavya lyrics

P.S.  People who don't know gujarati, this is all you will follow in this post.
And if the title eluded you for the lyrics or apt meaning of the song, all i can say is "Don't blindly trust google for your search results". "Dimag ki batti jalao"

So, lets listen to this  gujarati love song.  
But Ms Sonali Vajpayee,  what do you mean by Pan lilu joyu ne tame yaad avya?
If i translate it word to word;
pan = leaf , lilu=green, joyu= saw, ne = and, tame = you, yaad avya=remembered
So, Pan Lilu joyu ne tame yaad avya means seeing a green leaf reminded me of you.
Can you tell me how does a green leaf remind you of a lover?? With the most creative imaginations I can come up with these analogies:
  • In the most optimistic tone I would assume, You saw Him
    • Tip to her lover: yay! She  just called you the macho man.
  • But, this ain't a perfect world, right?  So, you meant you saw Him. Hmm, interesting.
    • Tip to her lover:  Aww, i am not being mean, but you know you cant sugar coat everytime nor can she.
  • Or  she meant she saw  Him. In the tech savvy world, we understand people's state of mind just by emoticons, wow! what a progress na?
    • Tip to her lover:  If this is the case, dear go grab a pack of donuts. Because, finally she admists you have grown from his horny man to ugly piglet  and now she feels like puking seeing you any more around her.
So, moral of the story is in any case i donot see how this would fit in the "romance" theme of the song and reminds me of this song. Sonali Vajpayee your lilu pan doesnot give me evergreen romantic vibes.
 Mana ki there are very few gujarati songs and movies but that doesnot mean kuch bhi chala lene ka.

Shit happens

Its one of those times when you just don't get it! With my recent experience with the best shipping career service "Fedex" I am left with similar bewilderment. Now seeing at the above pic you think its a joke! But trust me shit happens and  this is for real. I am baffled at the following:

  • First, I pay $18 for ground shipping just to our so called neighboring country, Canada ( Really??) You wouldn't consider a Canadian as international person, but hell ya if it is a parcel.
  • Chalo, time is of essence so i paid it. But, it delivered back to my address and fun part is i don't see the shipment except a door tag that was left at my door.  Leave about that, are you telling me the great Fedex needed three freaking days to send the same shipment to original address? Wow!!! I didn't knew fairborn was that big a city!
  • Next, endless waiting on 800-Fedex, i get to know i missed a custom's invoice, so my  question is how can I miss it when I have been to office for it. Ain't it  the attending  clerk's responsibility to make sure all documents were there? How do you expect me to know all the documentation for the shipping?
Amazing and they still haven't figured out where the shipment is. I guess it got wings somewhere in between.

Common public nuisance

Here comes the vent! If you can't take it, don't bother going further.

 Some people find a major achievement while doing this!. I can give liberality if you are in  this situation.
 But, look at this!  They say, main toh halka ho raha tha, I would say halkat ho rahe.
And the amazing thing is the same people claim having higher rationality than animals.

Now have a look at  this
No, no,  this ain't a art, it the very old chewing gum. 
I have spent quite reasonable amount of my precious time in this lifetime trying to this on public streets.
Just because some people  have found ways to making Money and Fame out of it does not give you the license of being irresponsible. 

Ladies: Unless you are in show biz or slut, this or that is a big NO! 
Gentleman:  Same thing applies for  if you like this or that as fashion.  
Save some dignity to others.

I just wanna let you know your mama ain't done a good job raising you if i see you doing this or worse if you do  that . Common! don't tell me your mama didn't teach you these.

Ya, i know its  gross and that's exactly i want to tell those fools around stop being ""Gross"".

P.S. The extensive use of this and that has made my English so versatile, imagine in my gujju accent ;)

Whats is there in a name?

Isn't it amazing we all got names. Its an interesting thing to ponder upon. You would have few names on your mind already which are weird and amusing. But again, we all tend to forget. I bet you had one such conversations with your friend where you wanna recollect the person's name but can only remember their identity as you perceived them. For example:
You: Haan, maloom hum log usko dekh rahe the?
Friend: Usko(doubt), kisko?
You: Are woh chamshmewali, library mein hoti hain woh,
Friend: hmm, koun.
You: Aree abhi nahin yaad aa raha hain,  naam mein kya rakha hain?
Friend:  Achaa theek hain (yet more confused now)
  for that matter you feel tempted to say a rose is rose no matter what you name it, right?

Well, hold on to that thought.

Remember the name stickers we used to put on our school notebooks. As if that was not enough every stationery or for that sake any item of possession was labeled with our names.  I used to hate those nomenclature in biology classes. Oh, you did like those, theek hain bolo what does kindgdom does rinkuphyschodon belong? (google wale bhi dhund rahe honge yeh word, so don't attempt to search it) or tell me the 60 names of your classmates. I used to pity this guy in my high school named Ezzy.  Other students teased him saying take it easy each time he had doubt in class. Wonder what was Easy in him as i  always found him restless. Was it a easy go attempt of his parents, or  was it the  rastogi moments.Would you still say the same?  I guess that was the fear of the "dinku baby" and hence she decided to take charge of her identity.

Still not convinced?
 Theek hain, let me give you more visuals. 

Would you pose if it was named other than Yahoo! or
would you allow them in parties if they were not named William sisters 
 and for the tech savy people would you buy an if it was not named Iphone
 
 With all this bhejafry, there would still be people saying its about the perception. To them i would say, you get perceptiosn only when you see a thing, that thing has a name irrespective you know at that moment or not. Perception is just a way out when we cannot get the real thing, just like you fantasize your wannabe to be Him or Her.

So, take charge of your identity, don't let others tag you with idiotic names. 
Chalo, now raise your right hand, bend it and pat your self, now you are on the path of enlightenment, kudos to "Dishita". Ab pata chala, where you would have been without my esteem level observations and analogies?
