Main Bhi Madonna....


Hey dont worry... This is not what i am saying... This was what Baba Sehgal said during the 90's.... Does that sound Familiar.... Yes its none other than Iconic Indian Rapper Baba Sehgal (copied this line from wikipedia).... At an age when i didnt know the difference between Rap and folk... I could lay my hands upon the album named Main Bhi Madonna... (I didnt even know who Madonna was at that time).. It had a Crazy cover Pic... With baba Sehgal and person resembling madonna on his right side.. (and at the bottom it was written "These Legs are Authentically Baba's")... The Songs seemed awesome to me... And from then, i dont know how many times i might have listened to that album... I still am in possession of that album.... Man i love his style of Music.... To know more about him go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Sehgal

And as it happens with most people.... Baba Sehgal had his days of Absolute Fame and unfortunately, we dont see him producing music these days.... But i know he's gonna make a big come back.... His Style of Music is really Crazy... With Lyrics which are crazier than the word Crazy Itself......

On the Independence Day ...

Hello people... This year, independence day was a special ocassion for me.... Today unlike the usual visit to my college, I went to the school where my mom works.... It was a good experience for me.... This is the first time i have ever visited a Government school at a village..... The moment i entered the campus on my vehicle.... They came around me and circled me and were looking at me as if i were a foriegner... The girls were giggling among themselves....;)



Then i went along with my mom into their office room.... And they were even peeping through the windows to take a look at me.... (I assure u that i am absolutely normal :D). Then the children were later assembled into a room.... And they were uncontrollable... It reminded me of the parliament...;) Then a set of students asked my mom to ask me to Sing a Song for them.... My mom asked me to sing stating that it will help silence them... Then i sang 2 hindi songs for them and as it was on Independence day.. I sang song from Lakshya and title track of Phir bhi Dil hai Hindustani... And it was clear that they didnt have a Clue about what was coming out of my Mouth....


Then i tried to explain them what a computer was but i knew they werent ready for any serious stuff... So i stopped making any efforts of Cramming stuff into their Minds.... These were things they didnt care about... While the world is running after them.... They didnt care a speck about who Bill Gates was or what a computer was..... I sincerely feel that awareness levels should rise even in the government schools and they should be able to compete with students passing out from the Corporate schools where their Dads Pay Fat Amounts......

VIK's (Very Important Kids)
















Recently, i got to visit a event organised by some private organisation, where, i could take a few snaps of some very important kids.... Yup.... Police officers, Naval officers, and even Swami Vivekananda..... We also have Gods like Rama, Krishna posing to my camera..... Spidey is Back, Doctor present .......Interesting fact is that they arent just wearing those costumes, they even are acting like them.... And when posed questions, they have been answering assuming their roles.....
Interesting to see how children learn from others... And Lets hope, the influence of such great people does lie in their minds till their end of life............
