Day: January 25, 2008

This is the song that used to be played over and over again back in October 1996.

This song starts with the Om Vakratum, which I think is a prayer to start the day with.

This is a nice fusion song. Enjoy:

Colonial Cousins is an Indian group playing fusion music, mixing traditional Indian musical instruments with western modern instruments. They came out with their first album in 1996, and in the same year was invited by MTV Unplugged to perform live in the US.

I first heard of them when ASTRO was testing its frequency in the beginning of the last quarter of 1996 for what is now known as Hitz.fm. The song they had in the test queue then was ‘Sa Ni Dha Pa’ and it caught my ears. I’ll post ‘Sa Ni Dha Pa’ after this posting.

First, enjoy this song, which is one of my favourites by Colonial Cousins, called ‘Teri Meri Aankhon Mein.’

I wrote this on a dearest best friend’s blog at 5.00 this morning:

The pain that resides in the heart,
is the one that tears us up and apart;
the lost trust, the suspicions,
further aggravated by certain actions.

Life is for our comprehension,
to make or break, or filled with apprehension;
its surprises come not in just one cart,
its shocks poke our heart like a dart.

For we are human, taking right and wrong,
and digest them so we become strong;
The path you have chosen, you’ll walk and fall,
But always be proud and stand so tall.

I write this sonnet as the grass is covered by dew,
I write this sonnet wishing happiness for you.

Close your eyes…and think of things beautiful…
