Not the same

It was a moment of clarity, when all the subterfuge surrounding his existence was cleared. The smog that had accumulated for years vanished in a single moment. What happened, how it happened, is not clear even till this day. He headed straight out of the pub without saying anything, started his bike, and was invisible in seconds. A search party found him couple of days later, un-conscious and frost-bitten. When he opened his eyes at the hospital that evening, it was evident that he is not the same person, they had known for years. Something had changed, changed for good, like something just clicked into place. The face was same, but the face was not the same.

Dashmesh Teri Kaum by Debi

Just saw video of this song by Debi Makhsoospuri. Touched some raw nerves, outstanding poetry by Debi. He is making a nice comeback, after few years of concentrating more on singing, back to his roots.

Best thing to come out of Sarkar raj

Good thing that Katrina dumped AB Jr. in last part, otherwise she would have been dead by now.

Anyways I still have a suspicion Ash was the real brain behind all the drama, not the old timer Rao. But only next sequel will tell.

Mawan

Another lovely song by Rai, dedicated to all the mothers of the world. A tad emotional.

Barren Land

Another blast from the past, something I found hiding in a remote corner of my old inbox, buried under spam.

The pain in my heart will never go away,
as long as those thoughts hold sway.
Whatever I say, whatever I do,
I can't shake it off, and you?
You want to talk about the mental block!
Just some memories that came back,
looking at those weathered walls, and barren land.
It is the place we used to play, and laugh,
looks so alien and lifeless,
it pains even to look back.

Australian Challa

Probably the first punjabi you tube star

Swami interview on BBC/Desi DNA

Do you, Mister Jones

Now you see this one-eyed midget
Shouting the word "Now"
And you say, "For what reason?"
And he says, "How?"
And you say, "What does this mean?"
And he screams back, "You're a cow
Give me some milk
Or else go home"

Amazing Amazing song...

Contagious

Sweet and sour, passes by hour and hour,
Walking and sprinting, so near so far.
Waiting for the dawn, trying to wry sun out of night's shadow,
Hoping that light will shine for a few moments,
Before clouds obscure it and night devours it.

Knocking on heaven's door

Some versions of my all time favorite song.


Bob Dylan (The Original Guy)


Guns 'n Roses (The first time I heard this song)


Eric Clapton


Avril Lavigne (Another nice version)


Red Russian Army Choir & Leningrad Cowboys (Worth seeing for the hair-styles)
Video (Sorry no embeddable version available)

Don't take your guns to the town, son

Somehow lot of Johnny Cash songs are very similar in content to Punjabi folk songs. Probably, Johnny Cash and Kuldip Manak were soul brothers.

Funny moments

Similarity between Gandhiji & Mallika?

Dono ne kapde tyag diye,
Ek ne desh ke liye,
Doosre ne Deshwasion ke liye!

Found somewhere on net.

Dippa Dosanjh - Tere Nakhre ney

One of the best songs of the last year, from "Raw as Folk" produced by Tru-Skool. Dippa is one of the best punjabi singer in my opinion, thought you rarely get to hear him. His new album is out though, few tunes sound catchy, though a bunch of them are recycled versions, even the title song "Dhola ve Dhola". Meanwhile enjoy this gem.
