सरफ़रोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है
देखना है ज़ोर कितना बाज़ुए कातिल में है
है लिये हथियार दुशमन ताक में बैठा उधर,
और हम तैय्यार हैं सीना लिये अपना इधर.
खून से खेलेंगे होली गर वतन मुश्किल में है,
सरफ़रोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है

हाथ जिन में हो जुनून कटते नही तलवार से,
सर जो उठ जाते हैं वो झुकते नहीं ललकार से.
और भड़केगा जो शोला-सा हमारे दिल में है,
सरफ़रोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है

हम तो घर से निकले ही थे बाँधकर सर पे कफ़न,
जान हथेली पर लिये लो बढ चले हैं ये कदम.
जिन्दगी तो अपनी मेहमान मौत की महफ़िल में है,
सरफ़रोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है
सरफ़रोशी की तमन्ना अब हमारे दिल में है
देखना है ज़ोर कितना बाज़ुए कातिल में है

I love this song and I love “Mera rang de basanti chola“. These songs just send shiver down your spine.

“God Save the King/Queen” is the National Anthem of the United Kingdom. It is also one of the two national anthems of New Zealand, and the royal anthem of Canada, and other Commonwealth Realms, as well as the anthem of the British Royal Family. When the monarch is male, it is “God Save The King”; when the monarch is female it is “God Save The Queen”.

Its use at state events in Great Britain was one of the first examples of a nation adopting a hymn as a national anthem.

God save our gracious Queen
Long live our noble Queen,
God save the Queen:
Send her victorious,
Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us:
God save the Queen.

O Lord, our God, arise,
Scatter thine enemies,
And make them fall:
Confound their politics,
Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On thee our hopes we fix:
God save us all.

Thy choicest gifts in store,
On her be pleased to pour;
Long may she reign:
May she defend our laws,
And ever give us cause
To sing with heart and voice
God save the Queen.

“God Save The Queen” is in the public domain and may be used without having to obtain permission from the Government.

Ok that’s it, I can’t write Hindi more than that. My god such a dilemma, when you are writing in English you thinks oh! You can’t express yourself freely in English and Hindi being your national language and your mother-tongue (mine is) you can be more expressive in Hindi. But my god when I started writing in Hindi, it was so difficult for me put my words together. So here I am back to my English, feeling much better…now.

Sanjeev Bhaskar was on a trip to India and Pakistan. He went to metropolitan cities of India and birthplace of his father in Pakistan. Actually he did a very good job in showcasing India on BBC 2. Hopefully our British Indian or Asian children’s will know where their roots are.

Today was the final part of his journey through the country with a visit to the state of Rajasthan, where he trial the extravagant lifestyle of the Maharaja of Jodhpur and learned how Indian royalty have adapted to life in the 21st century. Later, he joined up with a group of nomadic herdsmen and witnesses the birth of a baby camel. From there he travelled to Pune and than to Mumbai, his last destination.

I won “Salman Khan Goody bag” from Club Asia Radio. A week ago Club Asia asked their listener to txt the answer of the question

What is the name of the forthcoming movie of Salman Khan?
To which I replied “Marigold”.

It’s my routine to listen to Club Asia radio whenever I am in the kitchen cooking. It’s so boring in the kitchen without my radio and my favourite radio channel.

Salman Goody bag contains mouse pad, coasters and a CD of film Marigold. I think I  may sell it on ebay (b’coz Pradeep hates Salman Khan). And I love Salman, this is a never ending war between Pradeep and me.

Few months back I won YashRaj films goody bag. It was during the release of film “Tara Rum Pum”. It had a big Poster of the film, a CD, a huge table calendar with all the forthcoming films of YashRaj pictures in it, a dairy and two complimentary pass for any movie in Cineworld.

Stretch marks fade away with time, but they can never be completely erased.
To lighten stretch marks, mix besan (gram flour), curd and a pinch of turmeric.
Blend into a thick paste. Apply it on your stomach daily, and rinse after half an hour.

Next, massage your stomach with sesame seed (til) oil.
Use wide circular strokes, since the stretch marks are on your abdomen.

Single mother Angela Kelly, 40, winner of the biggest-ever £35.4m lottery was revealed yesterday.

she realised she had won only after checking her numbers when reading a newspaper article on Monday about how Friday’s jackpot had not been claimed.

Office pals said mum Angie was “shaking” when she made the call to claim her mammoth prize. One said: “The win couldn’t have happened to a nicer person – she’s the life and soul of the office.”

Watching as Angie celebrated was separated husband and co-worker Gerry.

In a statement issued through his employer Royal Mail, Mrs Kelly’s estranged husband said: ‘I sincerely wish Angela all the best on her fantastic win.’

When will I win a lottery like this? Lucky she…
