Jai Ho: Pussycat Dolls
"Jai Ho" is an Academy Award-winning Hindi song composed by A. R. Rahman, written by Gulzar, and performed by Sukhwinder Singh and Rahman, for the film Yuvvraaj and played during the end credits of the film Slumdog Millionaire (2008), where it accompanies a choreographed dance sequence.

Rahman and Ron Fair. Scherzinger explained that the single is an interpretation rather than a remix. The music video, shot in a Vienna train yard, alludes to the dance sequence in the film. The song was released on February 23, 2009 on the U.S. iTunes Store and released internationally on February 24. . This version was named "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" and saw great success. Jai Ho means 'Come on' in Paki.

You are my sweetest love ...
Lyrics:
You are my sweetest love, this love ...
I always wanna hug,
because I really love you,
the world just has to know.
I'll do anything for you,
there is nothing I wouldn't do.
snuggle, cuddle and then hug me,
with you I always want to be.
la la la la ...
My love is deep and true
I'd be lost if not with you
So long it would have been
If not for you and me
I'll do anything for you,
there is nothing I wouldn't do.
snuggle, cuddle and then hug me,
with you I always want to be.
la la la la...
Our feelings are so strong
And our hearts will beat as one
Another ending story
Is what I have with you
I'll do anything for you,
there is nothing I wouldn't do.
snuggle, cuddle and then hug me,
with you I always want to be.
la la la la...
You are my sweetest love,
this love I always wanna hug, because I really love you,
the world just has to know.
I'll do anything for you,
there is nothing I wouldn't do.
snuggle, cuddle and then hug me, with you I always want to be.

Truly Madly Deeply By Savage Garden
Beautiful Song!
Lyrics:
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do..
I will be strong I will be faithful
'Cos I'm counting on a new beginning.
A reason for living.
A deeper meaning.
Chorus
I want to stand with you on a mountain.
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever.
Until the sky falls down on me...
Verse 2
And when the stars are shining brightly
In the velvet sky,
I'll make a wish
Send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry..
The tears of joy
For all the pleasure and the certainty.
That we're surrounded
By the comfort and protection of..
The highest power.
In lonely hours.
The tears devour you..
I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea.
I want to lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me...
Bridge
Oh can't you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cos it's standing right before you.
All that you need will surely come...
I'll be your dream
I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy.
I'll be your hope
I'll be your love
Be everything that you need.
I'll love you more with every breath
Truly madly deeply do...
Beyoncé Knowles - Halo
Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make up a sound
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now
It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
Think I'm addicted to your light
I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again
Feels like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
The risk that I'm takin'
I'm never gonna shut you out
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
Halo, halo
Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace
You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo
I can feel your halo halo halo
I can see your halo halo halo

George Baker's - Una Paloma Blanca
Paloma Blanca, often called Una Paloma Blanca, by the Dutch band George Baker Selection is a hit song that topped the charts all over Europe in 1975. The title is Spanish, and means "white dove."
Lyrics:
When the sun shines on the mountain
And the night is on the run
It's a new day
It's a new way
And I fly up to the sun
I can feel the morning sunlight
I can smell the new-mown hay
I can hear God's voice is calling
For my golden sky light way
Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away
Once I had my share of losing
for they locked me on a chain
Yes they tried to break my power
oh I still can feel the pain
Una paloma blanca
I'm just a bird in the sky
Una paloma blanca
Over the mountains I fly
No one can take my freedom away

Future B-School Student? - Enjoy!
Already an MBA - Still enjoy!!
Hi Pareekh no offence meant !!
AKEELAH and the BEE - many different shades in just 9.50 minutes!
Amazing video - lions vs buffalo vs crocodile - who is the winner ? watch to know the answer!!!!
(Watch the full video to know the answer)
Courage, it would seem, is nothing less than the power to overcome danger, misfortune, fear, injustice, while continuing to affirm inwardly that life with all its sorrows is good; that everything is meaningful even if in a sense beyond our understanding; and that there is always tomorrow.
Life is a succession of moments. To live each one is to succeed
Love the moment. Flowers grow out of dark moments. Therefore, each moment is vital. It affects the whole. Life is a succession of such moments and to live each, is to succeed
Taken from - Battle at Kruger
Every cloud has a silver lining !
Jog falls and monkeys !!
World famous Jog falls !! - 3
The above pic is of River Sharavathi...taken on the way to other point ...of watching this magnificient waterfall..
We walked further and after a few moments falls was visible. Suddenly fog raised from bottom...there was frequently drizzling too. It was amazing, to watch the fog playing hide n seek. Somehow managed to click some good snaps..above one among those pics..
This is also the stream from Jog falls taken from different angle...the milky white water colour forced me to fall for this pic...
Oh Oh oops ! this is the view of the all the way we covered to feel the water splashes and the fall view from near...Can you see the small blue colour point in the snap..that is one of the haltss, I mentioned in my previous post..I myself am stunned that how could I and Pareekh cover this great distance...
Well this is Mr. Pareekh Jain, my friend, philosopher, guide and life....at the back is the view of River Sharavathi....
It took 4 hours in all to have the view of waterfall to our hearts content....We started back for Shimoga at around 5:30 pm and reached back to the hotel at about 8:30 pm
World famous Jog falls !! - 2
World famous Jog falls !! - 1
Jog is situated around 32 Km from a small town Sagara, and is 379 Km away from Bangalore.From Shimoga, Jog falls is approx 108 kms. It took 2.5 hrs by taxi to reach there. The road was fine, and together with awesome weather and music in car, the whole atmosphere was just ultimate..
We carried snacks, chips, biscuits etc with us as there is just one restaurant at Jog..that too not holding very good reputation with regard to food..which on reaching there was clearly visible....you will not be left hungry, but you will definitely not enjoy food...
It was raining when we reached Jog, but after a while it stopped...
This is the pic right after the rain, mist all around is visible, this was truly an extremely beautiful moment to see the cloudy veil of Jog fleeting away...
There are approx 1250 steps cut into rocks that lead you to the very depths of the fall and shower you with vaporous spray that bounces off these rocks.....guess what!! we covered them all..it was a thrilling experience....Pareekh's company made it adventure with all the fun....There were blue colour small huts on the way, sort of halts..where glucose and soda lemon and other soft drinks were being provided..This pic is taken from a small tea-stall almost hanging from a slice of rock that gives you the most beautiful view of the falls.
These are the pics taken when we reached the bottom water area of the falls....It was a thrilling experience, we could hear the roaring water falling from above and and and it was mesmerising scene to watch water falling from above...




This is picture taken while our return from bottom water areas of the fall to the top .... it was extremely tiring to climb all those 1250 steps as they were very rough and slippery but such beautiful scenes every now and then provided us with all the required zeal during those moments....
The two pics below are ultimate example of beauty ...just see the rainbow formed in the falling waterfall.... it was forming and disapperaing every now and then, was lucky to capture this wonderful natural occurance....
Day 1 - Humcha - Jain Pilgrimage centre

Sri Parshvanath Bhagwan in black color, seated in a semi-lotus posture (Padmasana posture) and of height 120 cms in a shrine in the village of Humbaj Humcha : 54 kms from Shimoga city.
The main attraction of Humcha is the Padmavathi Amma's temple. The Ma Padmavati's temple is very rich and splendid. The idol of Padmavatidevi is very miraculous and expressive.The like of it is not found elsewhere. It is believed that the mere sight of Ma Padmavatidevi fulfils the wishes of the worshippers. Darshan of Ma Padmavati gave us both a great feeling....We are lucky to be blessed by Ma Padmavati's blessings as it is said that a couple blessed by Ma Padmavati never gets seperated and the love and bond between them grows more and more strong with time...
Picture of Jain temple at Humcha - We reached at night so this is the temple entrance view at night...It is better to visit the temple during day time as the road to Humcha is surrounded by dense growth of trees (more gives a look of forest) on both sides.
Humbaj (better known as Humcha or Hamchawadi) is famous for being home to an ancient temple of Goddess Padmavati, and to the Humbaj Matha (seminary/monastery), an important institution of the Jain community.
From Bangalore via Shimoga this shrine is 340Kms away.
By 9:30 we were back to Hotel Jewel rock in Shimoga...
