My heart is still a child, its a bit coward

My eyes are locked such that they don’t move from over her,

While (the age is such that) I am unable to cut a silk thread with my teeth,

I was old long back and my hair are white now,

(but) the black clouds of youth don’t want to go.

O god, my heartbeat is raising,

the color of my face is going (that means I am ageing)

I am afraid of sleeping alone,


(My) heart is (still) a child,it’s a bit coward,

yeah, my heart is still a child..

Who knew that the heart, so close to me, could be such scoundrel,

I always thought it would be a pure soul like me only,

it gives so much importance (to things), makes so much noise,

keeps track of useless things,

there is no one as mean as the heart,

someone stop it, someone check it,

I’ll be cheated in this age,

I am afraid to love..


My heart is still a child..

My heart is so sad, I am fearing even while laughing,I passed my entire youth away (from love),

And now I am meeting (her) in old age,

When the heart beats, I feel-

she is coming here only, but not looking (at me),

It’s hitting me with the knife of love,

Oh my.. Why don’t these moments pass,

Why don’t they move away from my eyes,

I am feared, don’t tell me,


My heart is still a child,

It’s a bit coward,

Yeah, my heart is still a child…


P.S. This is the english translation of the song - Dil to baccha hai ji :D :D :D

Momma's Boy

Having stayed away from home for around 10 years, the feeling and excitement to come back and settle down is amazing. It took me some time to get back to things which I had long lost and forgotten a bit. With people, environment and culture changing, there is only one person who has remained unaffected - My mom.

I have been a Momma's boy throughout my life. Some like it, some love it, some find it odd and immature after a certain age. Its good to feel like a kid again.

Some instances:

1. Everyday I leave for office, my mom comes out of the house to wave me goodbye :)

2. If I don't wish to have milk one day, she would make milk rose or a glass of coffee so that I have it .... and guess what... I actually have it :)

3. She knows what all I like to eat after I return home in the evening and I end up licking my fingers :)

4. She has answers to all my problems and knows well how will I deal with it

5. We go to a restaurant, she asks me if I will like to have a cold drink and I say yes :)

6. She still packs my suitcases at times when I am travelling and she will put some favourite of mine to eat in the bag. I would keep on saying no for it but I remember and thank her when I eat
 .......
 .......
 .......
and so many more of these!!!!


There is always something to be said about a man on who knows how he treats his mother. When he showers her with love, admiration and respect; it is a pretty good indication on how he's going to treat his wife or girlfriend

I stand here today knowing my mom has bought me so much of joy,
Today I am a man, but I will always be my Momma's boy

Housefull - Jarring and Barefaced!!!

Unfortunate Event - Again : Ankit and I went to watch "Housefull"

Call it contretemps or yet another way to fritter away time, we decided to watch it on the first day of its release - never a wise choice but... but.. but... knowing it all and regretting later. It is more of my moral responsibility rather than an obligation to stop the readers of this blog from rushing to the theatres - I would still suggest you to download this movie or buy a DVD.

Rajeev Masand feels - "If corny humor is your thing, give this film a chance. If you have even a modicum of intelligence or taste, however, stay far away from this one!"

Some observations:

1. Akshay Kumar is the center act of this movie. He calls himself a Panauti or Loser around 15 times in the movie cursing his misfortune throughout. He searches for a perfect bride with whom he thinks would relieve him with his anvil chorus.
Question: Why was the movie named Housefull ? Do you feel Panauti would have been better? (This is coming from my movie name scrutiny over the years - the word that is repeated the most in Bollywood movies often turns out to the actual movie name)

2. Lara Dutta looks hot but thats all is left in her to reveal. Some performers do not mature as actors even after their reasonably long career span. They hope to catch some attention with their bare bodies so that people overlook their puckered faces
Question: Which was the last hit movie of Lara Dutta?

3. Deepika Padukone looks hotter and I personally feel she is turning into a finer soubrette. Her dialogue delivery had been similar to a news reporter in her earlier movies.
Question: Why are you so tall Deepika? I will have to wear heels to walk with you

4. Arjun Rampal has great looks, great physique, great dialogue delivery - to sum it all, The Real Stud
Question: Should he continue doing serious roles? I feel it suits him the most

5. Whatever farcical scenes you watch during the movie trailers are the only moments where you get a laugh. Rest of the scenes would make you say "Kuch bhi kar rahe hain" , "Kya bakwaas hai yeh!!" , "Kyon movie kheech rahe hain"
Question: Is Sajid Khan forcing the assemblage to laugh or does he have a habit of laughing on his own jokes?

6. Songs have no relevance whatsoever with the movie plot - Akshay Kumar sings I don't know what to do on his first night with Jia Khan hitting with him with a hunter.... Sheer Crap!!!!
Question: Do you think Javed Akhtar or Gulzar would have immediately said NO!!! NO!!! when Sajid Khan would have approached him?

7. I like few dance steps - but those were again as shown during the movie trailers - I am being cheated by forcing to watch the whole movie :D

8. Akshay Kumar does nothing different than his previous hits. Probably, thats how junta have started liking him now.

I find the movie off the wall and defeats the purpose of rich entertaiment :( I won't be surprised if it still becomes a hit
