A song from bollywood film Murder – “Bheegey Hont”

I find blend of many of my favourite songs in this one, including parts of lyrics, and I like it for its very sensual feel.

bheege honTH tere, pyaasa dil mera
lage abr-sa, mujhe tan tera

jam ke barsa de, mujh par ghaTaayein
tu hi meri pyaas, tu hi mera jaam
kabhi mere saath, koi raat guzaar
tujhe subah tak main karuun pyaar

saansein aanch teri, tan aag tera
cheene neend meri, looTe chain mera
kaala jaadoo kare lambe baal tere
aankhein jheel teri, Dore laal tere
kabhi mere saath koi raat guzaar
tujhe subah tak main karuun pyaar

aankhein kah rahi jo na hum kahe
use sun le tu jo na lab kahe
tu na soye aaj, main na so’uun aaj
tujhe dekhuun aaj, tujh mein kho’uun aaj
kabhi mere saath, koi raat guzaar
tujhe subah tak main karuun pyaar

bheege honTH tere, pyasa dil mera
lage abr-sa, mujhe tan tera

Venus in transit

Earthlings will witness a special kind of eclipse, the transit of venus across sun on 8th June 2004.  The second transit will be on 6th June 2012

Planetary transits are far more rare than eclipses of the Sun by the Moon. On the average, there are 13 transits of Mercury each century. In comparison, transits of Venus usually occur in pairs with eight years separating the two events. However, more than a century elapses between each transit pair.
The first transit ever observed was of the planet Mercury in 1631 by the French astronomer Gassendi. A transit of Venus occurred just one month later but Gassendi’s attempt to observe it failed because the transit was not visible from Europe. In 1639, Jerimiah Horrocks and William Crabtree became the first to witness a transit of Venus.

Aasim is very excited about it and so am I More information

Stretch.. streeetccch…stretcccccchhhhh…..before excersising

Two inches above heel, I had been feeling a burning sensation since past four-five days.. it was slowly increasing as I wore a particular slipper and remained on my feet for long…

Discovered that I perhaps injured myself while exercising in gym. Improper warm up on one of the days resulted into Achilles Tendinitis -inflammation of the Achilles tendon (it connects the calf muscles to the heel bone)

So, my exercise regime has gone for a six – no activity till inflammation subsides. I am hoping to start on Monday with weight training and I guess its also time to go swimming.

Big bunch of thanks to Jessie, Atul, Khader, Shradha, Jace, Noella, Mannu, Balaji, Mona, Ashwin, for wishing me.

Thanks Kaja for the lovely Card.

I celebrated it by sleeping in the afternoon instead of working (and you who is going to crack a wise one, beware, you are much older and already having “typical” old age problems of not getting the figures right 😛 )

Got several cards from Tarique and a set of Gold danglers. Aasim gave me a lovely card and I bought myself a white cheese cotton dress. Chiya gave something for the dining table and mom is yet to come… so I have more surprises coming in

Painting work in the office is starting tomorrow – I hope I don’t get another asthma bout.
