After Life in a Metro, no Hindi music album appealed to me much. Listening to my old playlist excessively on my ipod, I was looking for a new addition to bring some variation. One recent number I like is Aankhon mein teri Ajab si from Om Shanti Om among the hoards of new songs. Though yet to be subjected to repeated listening to test how long it appeals to me 
The song appealed to me because the background music is minimal like the Tinka Tinka number and the tune is alose very melodious and pleasing. KK proves his versatility yet again and is no doubt my favorite singer of recent time after Sonu Nigam. The music is different from the recent VS style of music. I feel it is more like the Vishal-Sekhar of "Jhankaar Beats".
Here's the promo track on youtube if you haven’t seen it on TV.
Writing the lyrics as I listen to the song....
Aankhon mein teri ajab si ajab si adaayein hai
Dil ko banade jo patang saanse yeh teri woh hawayein hai
Aayi aisi raat hai jo bahut khusnaseeb hai
Chahe jissey duur se duniya woh mere kareeb hai
Kitna kuch kehna hai phir bhi dil mein sawal kahin
Sapno mein jo roz kahaan hai woh phir se kahoon ya nahin
Tere saath saath aisa koi noor aaya hai
Chand teri roshni ka halka sa ek saaya hai
Teri nazron ne dil ka kiya jo hasarr asar yeh huwa
Ab in mein hi duub ke hi ho jaon paar yahin hai duwa
Aankhon mein teri Ajab si ajab si adaayein hai
Dil ko banade jo patang saanse teri woh hawayein hai
Team India rocks!! Down 3-1 in the series, Dravid and Co. had to win 2 in a row to level the series and they did it! What was most impressive was that the wins were not by just individual contributions but Team India as a whole played great cricket!
With both Dada and Master in prime form with their batting, India couldn't have asked for a better start chasing a big total. A 150 run opening partnership meant we were never away from victory even when wickets fell in the middle overs. The way Dhoni and Uthappa played brought back memories of Jadeja and Robin Singh. Uthappa all of 21 years looked so cool and composed and took India home. His innings today reminded me of what Michael Bevan used to do for the Aussies.
I got up at 7.00 in the morning to check out the score and get ready to go to class at 9.30. I saw that England had scored 316 and I wasn't all that confident about the chase from India especially since we were under a lot of pressure to win this game just to level the series. I started watching the game and as it went on, Dada and Sachin played some of the most exquisite cover drives and lofted shots. It was heartening to see Ganguly play the pull shot to perfection on a couple of occasions.
Time was soon 9 and I had class at 9.30. I am too big a fan of team India and cricket in general so I decided to skip my Stat class to watch the game today :D As the game went on, it turned into a high-voltage encounter. I believe that India can win most games just with its batting and I always wish we play with a 7-4 team. Today that was exactly why we won. We needed someone lower down the order who could take all the pressure and still deliver.
Most times when India loses a game, it is because we do not have that one person who can carry the team over the last step and take us across the line. With 7 batsmen in the team and Dhoni and Uthappa as 6 and 7 we always had a chance even with a req rate of over 9 in the last 6 overs. they did just that and the last 2 shots that Uthappa played I will probably remember for a long long time to come. Here's wishing him a long career and many more such performances for India. Kudos to Sachin for another great innings. People talk about Team India not performing when Sachin plays well. If anybody needs any clarification please ask me and I shall supply suitable evidence with statistics to prove that he HAS won a lot of games for us :)
I was watching the game along with Tarak and Sandeep and it felt wonderful. We jumped up in joy and shouted out loud. As I looked at the big Tricolor on my wall, I suddenly felt very patriotic and extremely proud to be an Indian :)
I think I have finally turned over a new leaf and hence this new blog. I have been extremely strong off late and I am getting things I want to do accomplished. I am very happy with how things are shaping up:)
Please do not ask why I named this blog "Naive Cognition". I think I just put the two words together so they mean "simple thoughts" (maybe).
Life has gone a full circle (almost) since I first started blogging a few years back. It feels good to be back at that place where I like the kind of thoughts I experience and my outlook on life.
For people who still read my blog and don't know what I have been upto, I have started my PhD in Physics and it is so much fun (I am no geek or nerd. I am as social as people can be). I love the work I am doing and I love the fact that I can go back to classes and this gives me a chance to top in class again :d
I shall keep updating regularly and maybe you'll see a different side of me in this blog of mine :)
