Teri Khushbu mein base khat...

Teri khusboo mai basey khat mai jalaata kaise
Pyar mai doobe hu-e khat mai jalaata kaise
Tere haathon ke likhe khat mai jalaata kaise
Jinko duniya ki nigahon se chupa-ye rakha
Jinko ek umra kaleje se lagaye rakha
Deen jinko jinhe imaan banaye rakha
Teri khusboo mai basey khat mai jalaata kaise
Pyar mai doobe hu-e khat mai jalaata kaise

Jinka har lafz mujhe yaad hai paani ki tarah
Yaad they mujko jo paighaam-e-zubaani ki tarah
Mujhko pyaare they jo anmol nishaani ki tarah
Tere khusboo mai basey khat mai jalaata kaise
Pyar mai doobe hu-e khat mai jalaata kaise

Toone duniya ki nigahon se jo bachkar likhi
Saal dar saal mere naam barabar likhi
Kabhi din mai toh kabhi raath ko uthkar likhi
Tere khusboo mai basey khat mai jalaata kaise
Pyar mai doobe hu-e khat mai jalaata kaise
Tere haathon ke likhe khat mai jalaata kaise
Tere khat aaj main Ganga mai bahaa aaya hoon
Aag behte hu-e paani mai laga aaya hoon

तेरी खु़शबू मैं बसे ख़त

तेरी खु़शबू मैं बसे ख़त मैं जलाता कैसे
प्यार मैं डूबे हुए ख़त मैं जलाता कैसे
तेरे हाथों के लिखे ख़त मैं जलाता कैसे
जिनको दुनिया की निगाहों से छुपाये रख़ा
जिनको एक उम्र कलेजे से लगाये रख़ा
दीन जिनको जिन्हें इमान बनाये रखा
तेरे खुशबू मैं बसे ख़त मैं जलाता कैसे
प्यार मैं डूबे हुए ख़त मैं जलाता कैसे

जिनका हर लफ्ज़ मुझे याद है पानी की तरह
याद थे मुझको जो पैग़ाम-ए-जुबानी की तरह
मुझको प्यारे थे जो अनमोल निशानी की तरह
तेरे खुशबू मैं बसे ख़त मैं जलाता कैसे
प्यार मैं डूबे हुए ख़त मैं जलाता कैसे

तूने दुनिया की निगाहों से जो बचकर लिखी
साल हा साल मेरे नाम बराबर लिखी
कभी दिन मैं तो कभी रात को उठकर लिखी
तेरे खुशबू मैं बसे ख़त मैं जलाता कैसे
प्यार मैं डूबे हुए ख़त मैं जलाता कैसे
तेरे हाथों के लिखे ख़त मैं जलाता कैसे
तेरे ख़त आज मैं गंगा मैं बहा आया हूँ
आग बहते हुए पानी मैं लगा आया हूँ

Khoya Khoya Chand

Movie Review by Rajiv Masand at IBNlive

Few films succeed in transporting you to another place another time, the way Khoya Khoya Chand does. Sitting in that darkened hall you can literally smell the paint on those studio walls because the director makes time, spaces and people come alive with his striking visual treatment.

Vodafone Mobile Connect

This is particular to me but a few other customers may have echoed sentiments. I have WiFi access at my Home and other places I visit often. Hence I do not need any other Internet service for 99 % of my Internet usage.
But I still subscribe to Vodafone Mobile Connect 499 for the rest 1% of my Internet usage.
I have analysed my bill and I know that I use hardly 100MB of my bundled data-limit of 500MB. Sometimes even less. But If I downgrade the tariff to basic Vodafone Mobile connect that is Rs200/month as rental without any bundled data and 10p/10kB only for 30MB a month I will have Rs 500 to my bill.
Hence practically Vodafone do not have a data plan below Rs 499/month.
But for my kind of usage I would appreciate if you could introduce a plan something like Rs 299/month with bundled 299 MB.

Suggestions to Vodafone Store


I have a few suggestion which could improve the overall

customer experience.


  • Please update your web portal with utmost priority.

  • Tell all the Vodafone executives to visit the website as often as they can. (Because this is the first thing and Internet savvy customer come through). If some plan or service is there on your website the Vodafone executive must know about it. At the least executives at Vodafone stores. I have experienced lack of information to the Vodafone executives about a few things mentioned over website.

  • Every visit at Vodafone store translates into a wait of 20-30 minutes minimum. While waiting I have noticed a few executive desks not in use. Also the number of executives attending customers must be increased. At Vodafone store, Gaurav Tower, Jaipur there are three swift desks, which are always empty or not in use. So you can use those desks as express help desks. Hence there will be people who do not need to spend much time waiting for just a simple query. Anyone who needs more time can be requested to wait for more assistance as they presently do. This would definitely reduce the wait time for most people and hence the overall experience at Vodafone store.

  • There should be computer screens connected to http://www.vodafone.in/ and myVodafone service at every store. So that people can use them for some help and may be they will not require any of the executive to tell them the same information.

  • There should be two divisions of executives serving to Postpaid and Prepaid customers respectively. People who are paying more and committing more, deserve preferential treatment. And the Vodafone definitely practise this at Vodafone Care.

Khoya Khoya Chand


Music Shantanu Moitra

Lyrics Swanand Kirkire

Shantanu Moitra and Swanand Kirkire giving their music and lyrics for a film by Sudhir Mishra, whose “Hazaron Khwahishon Aisi” I still cherish and remember as one of the best film I have seen, felt in depth of heart and enjoyed. For music for story telling for great acting talent.

Shiney Ahuza is once again working with Sudhir Mishra. And story is not from today’s word, Mishra has once again dived into past to give us (expectedly) great story in cinematic form.

Yes, me and many other like me who loved the “Hazaron Khwahishon Aisi” by Sudhir Mishra which deals with “Naxalite Problem and Philosophy” in that film.

Here I am expecting something on the same lines at least if we talk of sheer cinematic story telling.

I have no clue what is this Movie is going to about. Hence I cannot predict anything about the movie yet I have read in media that picture is set in historical times. And it’s always good to have glimpse of history live in front of your eyes specially on the silver screen.

So finally I should stop talking about all the things but the music. The music of “Khoya Khoya Chand” is also par excellence. And in the same tradition as the “Hazaron Khwahishen Aisi”. Half of the songs are based on Indian Classical. Rest are contemporary music suitable to the times in which the story is based.

“Sakhi Piya”(Sony Nigam) and “O Re Paakhi”(Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal) are my pick from the album. Both of them being Calssicaly based. Then comes “Thirak Thirak” (Sonu Nigam, Shreya Ghoshal) a semi classical song and “Chale Aao Saiyan” (Shreya Ghoshal) a thumari sung beautifully.

For me Shreya Ghoshal’s voice was al together a new experience. Not her usual very melodies and sweeter voice. Rather here you get listen a very little bit of huskiness, which can be identified with most of classical singers. I should say a little bit mix of ‘kasak’.

The title song may give us somewhat idea of the story of the film.
“Zindagi sawalon ke jawab dhundhne chali , jawaab me sawalon ki ek lambi si ladi mili, sawaal hi sawaal hain, sujhati nahi galiki aaj haath tham lo, ek haath ki khami khali”

Lyrics are, very philosophical and poetic. So you just don’t have usual songs of Hindi Cinema but real quality poems woven into melodies.

In the title song, Shantanu Moitra has experimented and simultaneously three kind of music has been used. First is like “Veer Ras Kavita”, second is usual piano based soft music, and third is Qawwali like music. And the fusion is much better than usual remix. The lyricist or should I use poet Swanand Kirkire has given his voice in the song hence song has benefited.
