"Dooba Dooba rehta hoon Ankhon main teri" ... "I am submerged in the depth of your eyes".

In my teenage years , Guitar was the symbol of liberation and youth and it very much remained till I finished my college. Attractive shapes, colors and variations made this instrument looked sleek to most of other modern instruments. In those days, in commercial orchestra team, Guitar player took a prominent place along with saxophone, accordion and drums. I never got a chance to play around Guitar but always made it a point to touch this instrument whenever I walked in to any music shop. During Mount Mary fair, in the bylanes of Bandra west, I would stop outside the home of christian families when I would hear strings of Guitar. Listening to Brijbhushan Kabra in ‘Call of the valley’ brought the beauty of Guitar as an instrument that can bring finer nuances of Indian classical Raga.

But with growing years, impact of Guitar got diminished with other string instruments like Sitar, Sarod quenching the thirst of musical ears. With Bruce Springsteen and other groups in 80’s, Guitar for me turned into heavy metal instrument that churned out nothing but cacophony accompanied by shrilling noise of a singer.

Silk Route in early 90’s brought back wonderful memories of Guitar. The song ‘ Dooba Dooba… ’ made Silk Route famous and sadly got buried under weight of the success of this album. Where is Silk Route these days ? This song "Dooba Dooba" - debut by this Indian Pop group was one of those initial ventures by Indian Pop youngsters as MTV took over India . The video of this song, shot underwater, was equally creative as guitar chords used in the songs. Y’day, when I heard the MP3 version of this song, I couldn’t resist putting the widget of this song on my blog. I also remember buying a CD of Channel V of its 32 songs, most of them were useless , just to have Dooba Dooba in my collection and also going to Planet M in South Extension, New delhi when the group came to play this song as a part of the promotion for the stores.

When I retire and if I ever start learning or playing Guitar , I would definitely try my hand on Dooba Dooba , with following chords

G C D
Dooba dooba rehta hoon aankhon me teri
G C D
Deewana ban gaya hoon main chaahat me teri
Am Bm
Ab din guzarte nahin
Am Bm
Ratein kat-ti nahin
Am Bm Am Bm G
Teri tasvir se baat ban-ti nahin... Aa-ja
G, C, Am, G
G
Koi jaane na
Pehchaane na
Am D
Yeh hua kaise
C D
Tum aagaye kwabon mein aise
Am Bm Am Bm
Bewafa... sun oh bewafa... na jaa

Dooba dooba rehta hoon aankhon me teri
Tum jo mil gaye
Deeye jal gaye
Mere khwabon mein
Ban jao tum mere hamsafar
Bewafa ... sun oh bewafa ... bewafa... na jaa

Dooba dooba rehta hoon aankhon me teri
Deewana ban gaya hoon main chaahat me teri

Ab din guzarte nahin
Raaten kat-ti nahin
Teri tasvir se bat banti nahin... oh aa-ja
Na ja bewafa
Oh bewafa... sun oh bewafa... na jaa

10cc gulp and 24 hour high

I never had so much high in such a small dosage. Cough syrups do give you more punch and last more time than any alcoholic drink. I thought Benedryl topped that list till I had Dhasedyl yesterday. The sticker on the plastic bottle said ' Take 10cc three times a day, May cause drowsiness '. I had one dose of 10cc previous night and effects are still lingering. I didnt have courage to take two more doses. I didnt knock out immediately but did sleep well . When I woke up, I was groggy, listless and void of energy. The feeling continued through out the day. By evening I felt ravenous. I kept wondering what's so special about 'Dhasedyl' that uprooted my mental equilibrium. I had to know about this drug that so quickly and efficiently smothered my month old persistant cough and cold within a night but crippled and numbed my alertness and made me feel like a seasoned druggist. As I searched on ' Dhasedyl ' I read about its sideffects and the following experience o

Madhav Julian and Indiver -प्रेमस्वरुप आई and Zindgi Ka Safar

When I hear this poetry of Madhav Julian sung by Lata - my eyeballs swell with a blob - as the poem reaches mid way. A fabulous rendition that seems to have bled through damaged heart of this man. Tears don’t come that easily to me. That prerogative belong to Rajesh Khanna in Hindi movies of Anand Amar Prem and Dharmendra in Satyakam . In this poem too tears don’t come because I miss my mother or think of her from a distant land. This poem resurrects a character who has raised in orphanage and became successful to get all the comforts and accolades that a man can strive for. Yet he has remained empty in his heart without the existence of his mother। He doesnt remember her face as she has left long before she made any imprint on his life. Today is my mother’s birthday and I thought it would be appropriate to write about this poem. There is another song – rather second stanza of the song – penned by Indiver in movie Safar also evokes similar anguish। Here the
