to dream is a man's habit, to achieve a dream is a man's effort and live a dream is a possible even in this real world when you carry along with you a few basic bits with you. a forcefull motivation, a open mind to all thoughts, a positive approach, being proud of our own decision and a smile on face, is all one need to have to live the dream. if the dream is only about money , then this may not be the best combination, for everything else no other things can make the basic best combination. having a added qualities is always beneficial.

i think... and i believe.

Ashok Saraf : As a funny Bus Conductor

a funny video- though most of the wording arein marathi- but its a must watch atleast once.

Father and Daughter

The title of this 8 minute video, Father and Daughter, caught my attention. It's kind of simple, but there're tons and tons of things between a father and a daughter. So I watched it. And I was really touched by the style of animation, the music as well as the script.

The story is about a father and a daughter riding along the countryside. Then he says goodbye to his young daughter, and she couldn't find him for ages. Time passes by and she grows older and older. However, the love and the deep longing for her father are never faded.

What makes me really surprised is the style of this animated film, it's totally done in pencils, charcoal and a software called ANIMO. While many modern animated films tend to be drawn based on 3D and computers, this kind of animation reminds me of the old style animation in the 1920s, which may make the story more touching and memorable. Besides that, I think that's the best way to represent the beauty of Dutch countryside's sightseeing. Moreover, there is a really specific characteristic that is always used in Dutch animation; that's the "non-verbal" or "no-dialogue" effect. Therefore, audiences can only communicate with the movie through the background music, the gesture, and the movement of the characters, etc. Due to these special effects, "Father and Daughter" becomes much more special and embedded in viewers' memory.

"Father and Daughter is a film about longing, the kind of longing which quietly, yet totally, affects our lives” is what Michael Dudok de Wit said about his masterpiece.

Sting - Fields Of Gold

this video for all who love this song...

Youll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
Youll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in the fields of gold

So she took her love
For to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold

Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley
Well forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in the fields of gold

See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that Ive broken
But I swear in the days still left
Well walk in the fields of gold
Well walk in the fields of gold

Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
Youll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold
When we walked in the fields of gold

Sting feat. Cheb Mami - Desert Rose (Original)

only one word for this creation- "just wonderful"

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of fire
Those dreams that tie two hearts that will never die
And near the flames
The shadows play in the shape of the mans desire

This desert rose
Whose shadow bears the secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this

And now she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothings as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes
The rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of love

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose
Whose shadow bears the secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume that would torture you more than this

Sweet desert rose
This memory of hidden hearts and souls
This desert flower
This rare perfurme is the sweet intoxication of love

Enrique Iglesias - Do You Know? (The Ping Pong Song): Closed Captioned

Do You Know [x3]

[chorus]
Do You Know What It Feels Like
Loving Someone That's In A Rush To Throw You Away.

Do You Know What It Feels Like
To Be The Last One To Know The Lock On The Door Has Changed.

Do You Know [x4]
Do Ya

If Birds Flying South Is A Sign Of Changes
At Least You Can Predict This Every Year.
Love, You Never Know The Minute It Ends Suddenly
I Can't Get It To Speak
Maybe Finding All The Things It Took To Save Us
I Could Fix The Pain That Bleeds Inside Of Me
Look In Your Eyes To See Something About Me
I'm Standing On The Edge And I Don't Know What Else To Give.

Do You Know What It Feels Like
Loving Someone That's In A Rush To Throw You Away.

How Can I Love You [x4]

If You Just Don't Talk To Me, Babe.

I Flow Through My Act
The Question Is She Needed
And Decide All The Man I Can Ever Be.
Looking At The Last 3 Years Like I Did,
I Could Never See Us Ending Like This.
(do You Know)
Seeing Your Face No More On My Pillow
Is A Scene That's Never Happened To Me.
(do You Know)
But After This Episode I Don't See,
You Could Never Tell The Next Thing Life Could Be

[chorus]
Do You Know What It Feels Like
Loving Someone That's In A Rush To Throw You Away.

i know its a irreplacable loss and all who knew him would surely agree to me. He lived his life like a warrior, taking challanges at all steps of his life.Just one battle he did not win, and even we could not do apart from supporting him in his battle. The loss is Big and it just made us away from him for ever till we are on this earth.

This blog is dedicated to Amit Sankpal, one of my good friend, who lost his battle against Cancer on 18th july 2007. Born on 16th May 1985. lived for 22 years, 2 months and 2 days. do not know if 2 was lucky or unlucky for him. I met him at RAI UNIVERSITY , Mumbai campus( as of now the university does not exist ). Intial meetings were not so powerfull , but later we were good neighbours in a big dormatory where the personal area was outlined by 5 feet tall partitions with out any doors.

more to come.....
