English Lyrics: Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi (Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na)


so this was yet another flattering experience..

a colleague.. and now a friend - Ritesh, who was working with us at CIIE sent in the english translation of the song, which was apparently picked up from Vicky's post.

The English Lyrics for the song... for yours truly.. from Ritesh... Now for all my readers.. right here... :P


Sometimes in life, Aditi, someone seems like your own, just like that.
Sometimes Aditi, when they are separated, it seems like a dream.
In such a condition, how can anyone stop their tears from flowing?
And how can someone think everything’s gonna be okay?

Sometimes it seems there is no happiness nor fun left in life
Sometimes it seems every day is difficult, every moment is a punishment
In such a condition, how can someone smile, or be happy and laugh?
And how can they think everything’s gonna be okay?

Think about it dear, how much I love you.
If there are tears in your eyes, I cry too.
I sing, even though I donno how to sing.
Hey Aditi, it's true that sometimes there is darkness in the entire world
But it’s only after night that day comes.

Sometimes in life, Aditi, someone seems like your own, just like that.
Sometimes Aditi, when they are separated, it seems like a dream.
Hey Aditi, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh a little
Or at least just give a little, little, little, little smile.

If you are happy, it seems the world is filled with happiness
The sun emerges from the clouds and spreads life
Hey listen, what the intoxicating wind is telling you
That Aditi, those who are separated, one day do meet again
Aditi, whether you know it or not, flowers do bloom again

Sometimes in life, Aditi, someone seems like your own, just like that.
Sometimes Aditi, when they are separated, it seems like a dream.
( Hey Aditi, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh, laugh a little
Or at least just give a little, little, little, little smile. ) - 5



After reading these lines, I couldn't stop laughing through out the day... Hillarious hai...

Hope you enjoyed too..
more to come up on this song and ma LyF...

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi

Kabhi Kabhi Aditi Zindagi
Mein yuhi koi apna lagta hai
Kabhi Kabhi Aditi woh bichad jaye to
Ek sapna lagta hai

For a change, after a while, even I've started liking this song..
I get to listen to it atleast 3 - 4 times a day...

The lyrics are very beautiful...

The line I lyk the most -

Hey Aditi hasde hasde hasde hasde hasde tu zara
Nahi to bas thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda thoda muskura

And I wud want to believe in ...

Tu Kush Hai to lage ki jahan mein chai hai kushi
Suraj nikle badlon se aur baate zindagi
Sunto zara madhosh hawa tujhse kehne lagi

Ki Aditi woh jo bichadte hain ek na ek din phir mil jate hain
Aditi jane tu ya jaane na phool phir khil jate hain

.... but, it ain't the truth...

I blv in this one whole heartedly...

Hey Aditi mana kabhi, kabhi sare jahan mein andhera hota hai
Lekin raat ke baad hi to savera hota

Someone also dedicated the song at a live perfomance, which was pretty flattering.
A few sent dedications via the internet, via twitter...
A few sent lyrics for the song...

It was overwhelming...

And incidently Shadez was the first one to temme about it on twitter and that was 2 months back.. woah !! but me had completely forgotten abt the song after that conversation..

I did a lil research on the song following is the analysis:

Look up the song on Summize and it reveals sooooo many searches.
Lot of people are addikted to the song... me is not yet...
Most of them love the song.
The video on YouTube has 8.25 L views in just one month.. The video here.
More videos for the for the song on YouTube can be found here.

I've personally watched the video on YouTube and liked it..

in Short, I am kinda famous... :D

For the records, I havn't got a chance to watch the movie... m looking for some1 worth watchin it with :P

Not that I mind all this, but I think its a very good mkting strategy...
And I'm makin the most of it..

Hop on for more on this song.. on this blog..

And each recurrence of my name above in the lines has a different link to it. Some hide n seek for u to enjoy.. :)

Aditi....

Kabhi kabhi 'mera naam' zindagi
mein yuhin koi apna lagta hai :P

Entrepreneurs Conference

I am not sure how to start this one... but I am again in one of those lost moods... lost emotions.. rather mixed up feelings... This one's again gonna be quite a dis-organised post... I like dis-organised thoughts... They are fun to comprehend...

So Rashmi comes up on the stage to talk about her book... Stay Hungry Stay Foolish... And, as always, i have goose bumps all over me.. a chill ran through my body...
The ever so emotional me, connects with the lil intro to the book...

Stay Hungry Stay Foolish is a book on 25 Entrepreneurs from IIM Ahmedabad. The book talks about the struggles they faced and the fame they achieved while struggling to be the best and do what they always wanted to do - Start out on their own.. took the road less travelled and became what the world would want to call them now "Successful Entrepreneurs".

Though I am not a PG from IIM Ahmedabad, I have, I think, lived on campus more than anyone else from the city. So it was a nostalgic day for me too... And if the IIMA guys considered my presence at the college as attendence, I don't think they would have problems giving me a degree... I had low attendence in my Grad school, because I used to be at IIMA for obvious reasons... Love..

One of the iA guy's asked a week back - "IIMA is your boyfriend na" .. i couldn't help smiling.. and nodding my head in agreement to the phrase... "Yes, and I came back for my boyfriend from the Max City :)"

Deep Kalra - MakeMyTrip, Sanjeev Bhikchandani - Naukri, Sandeep - SequoiaCap, Desai Sir - Mastek, Cyrus Driver - Calorie Care (Calorie Care was btw my pamper aunt in Mumbai. They were my source of lunch for a month in the Max City), Subhiksha, Baring Private Equity... and innumerable other brilliant ventures... Chlorophyll, IRIS, GiveIndia.... Name it and 'we' have it.. or should I say, IIMA's got them all under their banner..

I am not sure if i want to talk about all of the 29th.. but was a day, which definitely
motivated me to get back to Entrepreneurship... I had for some reason lost the spirit and had decided to stick around with a secure job for some more years.. but I think I will take the plunge, but a secured one..

The Incubation Centre is definitely giving me what I would need to start out.. a Network, a base, Knowledge, understanding of Entrepreneurship... and blah blah blah.. make me more comfortable with the concept. . but, I am not sure if I am still comfortable with the idea of starting out my empire...

Sequoia Cap MD - Sandeep says, "Human beings have a problem... we try to do things which can solve every problem we ever faced.. we want to make something which will solve all the problems in the domain.. but thats not the way forward.. Be a needle, which pinches at a single pain point and then spreads.. !!"

I am not sure if I have heard such amazing things before.. but I guess, it opened up my eyes too.. Why do a business which solves all the pain point.. start with one, excel and then see if the other things can be covered... My idea was a hammer on the wrong side of the pin.. i wanted to do everything with that little idea, and i was also sure it would be difficult to work it out.. and which is why I stopped working on it.. anyways... timely reviews helped.. and here I am planin out things for the future again...

Sanjeev Bhikchandani... you gotto talk to him to realise what good people are about... "Try and identify the vicious circle of your business... and then try to sustain it..." again, never heard of sentence, no one ever shared such stuff, such secrets... I am not sure if its a secret, but definitely something which he experienced, struggled around with and came out successfully from the pit... and he talked from his heart.. u could feel it...

there is one thing which I also realised.. only people with low temper make good entrepreneurs.. which means, I will have to make a 360 degree change in myself to become one.. difficult, i think so.. but anythin for passion ..

met a lot of my frens from the previous batches.. confluence 2005 team - Sameer.. Aurvind and Partha - 2006 batch, have now started out their own firm by the name of Mantis Tech.. Nikhil again a 2005 batch-ee started out Wellocity, a health clinic.. Vinita ofcourse, 2007 i think and Kaushik - 2008 started out Lootstreet. Gaurav Dagaonkar, 2006 batch, and a couple of other non - IIMA guys.. and yes, these are the guys i've always had fun talking too..

2 am talks under the lamp post about entrepreneurship, technology, business, economy and whole lotta topics... and 5 of us... not possible anywhere else and with anyone else.. but these guys, who have kinda inspired me from time and again to take up entrepreneurship on full time basis.. but the 'scared' me has been refusing it since some time now..

the highlight of the 2 - day event was obviously the 28th night... atleast for some.. well, if someone dedicated a song to you and sang it in front of some 250 odd people, what are you suppos'ta do.. "now a song dedicated to a girl who's been working hard to make this show happen.. aranged for our trip to Amdabad and made sure everythin went perfectly fine.. Aditi".. and I couldn't stop laughin after that.. i wanted to walk out.. but I thought it would look foolish and dumb.. so was there, laughing and giggling..
all I have been telling him after this is, "You've flattered me.. and now i am at a loss of words.."

Serenaded !! well, I am not sure if he meant it to be like that.. I am sure, it wasn't meant to be like that.. :P

We somehow connect well... have worked with him too, on his online PR strategy, for a very brief time, but it was fun..

overall, that was the 2-day event..
lot of other things.. but Romancin Ma LyF is not suppos'ta be a Newspaper.. Or may be a Newspaper which just talks about Ma LyF, and Ma Romance wit It..

Keep reading... and I'll keep Romancin Ma Lyf again...
