The concert was amazing, even though it got over kinda quick! This band is really good with their fusion/indian/rock mix and have come out with some amazing songs and albums. They played some of their newer tracks as well as golden tracks from Kandisa and Black Friday. They are going to be performing again in Bangalore on 12th April, and hopefully I will be able to attend that as well.

Very nice lyrics as well…

maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere….

aankhein teri, kitni haseen
ki inka aashiq, mein ban gaya hoon
mujhko basa le, inme tu

ishq hai…
maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere…..

ishq hai…
maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere…..

ishq hai…
maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere…..

ki inka aashiq, mein ban gaya hoon
mujhko basa le, inme tu

mujhse yeh har ghadi, mera dil kahe
tum hi ho uski aarzoo,

mujhse yeh har ghadi, mere lab kahe
teri hi ho sab guftagoo

baatein teri itni haseen, mein yaad inko jab karta hoon
phoolon si aaye, khusboo

Rakh loon chhupa ke mein kahin tujhko
saaya bhi tera na main doon
rakh loon bana ke kahin ghar, mein tujhe
saath tere, mein hi rahoon

julfen teri, itni ghani
dekh ke inko, yeh sochta hoon
saaye me, inke mein jiyoon

ishq hai…
maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere…..

ishq hai…
maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere…..

ishq hai…
maula mere, maula mere maula mere, maula mere…..

mera dil yahi bola, mera dil yahi bola,
yaara raaj yeh usne hai mujh par khola
ki hai ishq mohabbat, jiske dil main
usko pasand karta hai maula

mera dil yahi bola, mera dil yahi bola,
yaara raaj yeh usne hai mujh par khola
ki hai ishq mohabbat, jiske dil main
usko pasand karta hai maula

My Creative Zen Vision:M player and acessories!

Another great news is I am now a Desicritic! Thanks to Aaman Lamba for inviting me to the family! Check out my first post in the Desicritic network here. It is an older post from my blog archives and I hope to get into the gear and write more quality posts there

I was also surprised to see my name up as the Desicritic of the Day!

Pink Floyd is what I listen to most of the time while driving to office and back, on the mp3 player in my car.

Earlier this week I wanted to see how long it takes for me to drive to office and back – and what better way to count than the number of Floyd songs I could listen to!

The drive from home to work, had me listening to the following songs -

“Comfortably Numb” (6:23)
“Coming Back to Life” (6:56)
“High Hopes” – (7:51) – I reached my office when only half the song was up, so I waited in my car at the parking lot till this song got over. I couldn’t get myself to press the ‘off’ button before that!

While returning traffic was slightly heavy so I took longer (~25 minutes) than the roughly 17 minutes morning drive, but I generally enjoy driving to music, so I was comfortably numb in traffic indeed!

“Keep Talking” (6:53)
“Wish You Were Here” (6:35)
“Learning to Fly” (4:53)
“Cluster One” (5:58)

I sometimes actually wish that I stayed further away from the office, so that I can listen to more music while driving! But then again…it’s such a relief to get back home so quickly.

On a sad note, David Gilmour has recently said that Pink Floyd will not be performing together anymore. The Live 8 concert with Roger Waters is to be their last performance together. Read more here and here

The only Pink Floyd concert I got to attend (and now ever will) was the Roger Waters – In The Flesh Tour way back on 13th April 2002 in Bangalore and that was simply the best concert I have attended so far. People poured into Bangalore from all corners of the country to attend the show and I also remember a certain cousin and a huge Floyd fan himself come down just for the show from Warangal! A truely great experience!

It is a great tool and I’ve been spending quite a lot of time on it, getting my music in order. In the process I’ve rediscovered so many forgotten songs and found many songs, which I never knew I had because they had the wrong tags or had obscure filenames or were in some folder named New or Miscellaneous or such like.

Anyway, now thanks to MediaMonkey, I am well on my way to organising my music collection properly and the time and effort is worth it, especially if you are a major music buff and also if you’re using an MP3 player.

Warning – It is very addictive and you will end up spending hours on it updating tags and trying to get your music collection in order! :D
