पल पल है भारी (Pal Pal Hai Bhaari)

One of the most extraordinary songs I’ve heard recently, not just the music but even the lyrics… Kudos to A R Rahman and Javed Akhtar…

मधुश्री:
आ… आ…

मधुश्री:
पल पल है भारी वो बिपता है आ‍ई
मोहे बचाने अब आ‍ओ रघु-रायी
आ‍ओ रघुवीर आ‍ओ, रघुपति राम आ‍ओ
मोरे मन के स्वामी, मोरे श्री राम आ‍ओ
राम राम जपती हूँ, सुन लो मेरी राम आ‍ओ
राम राम जपती हूँ, सुन लो मेरी राम जी
भजे सत्य का डंका, जले पाप की लङ्का
इसी क्षण तुम आ‍ओ, मुक्त करा‍ओ
सुन भी लो अब मेरी दुहा‍ई
पल पल है भारी वो बिपता है आ‍ई
मोहे बचाने अब आ‍ओ रघु-रायी
विजय / आशुतोश:
राम को भूलो ये देखो रावण आया है
फैली सारी सृष्टि पर जिसकी छाया है
जो जपती हो राम राम तुम क्यों लेती हो राम नाम तुम
राम राम कारण जो ये तुमने है लगाया, सीता
सीता तुमने राम में ऐस क्या गुण पाया

मधुश्री
गिन पा‍एगा उनके गुण को को‍ई क्या, इतने शब्द ही कहाँ है
पहोंचेगा उस शिखारी के कौन भला मेरे रामजी जहाँ है
जग में सब से उत्तम है, मर्यादा पुरुषोत्तम है
सब से शक्तिशाली है, फिर भी रखते संयम है पर
उनके संयम की अब आने को है सीमा
रावण समय है, माँग ले क्षमा

All:

भजे सत्य का डंका, जले पाप कि लङ्का
आ‍ए राजा राम करे हम प्रणाम
संग ला‍ए लक्ष्मण जैसा भा‍ई

मधुश्री:
पल पल है भारी वो बिपता है आ‍ई
मोहे बचाने अब आ‍ओ रघु-रायी
विजय:
राम में शक्ति अगर है, राम में साहस है तो
क्यों नहीं आ‍ए अभी तक वो तुम्हारी रक्षा को
जिनका वर्णन करने में थकती नहीं हो तुम यहाँ
ये बता‍ओ वो तुम्हारे राम है इस पल कहाँ

मधुश्री:
राम हृदय में है मेरे, राम ही धडकन में है
राम मेरे आत्मा में, राम ही जीवन में है
राम हर पल में है मेरे, राम है हर स्वास में
राम हर आशा में मेरी, राम ही हर आस में

विजय:
हो…

राम ही तो करुणा में है, शान्ति में राम है
राम ही है एकता में, प्रगति में राम है
राम बस भक्तों नहीं शत्रु के भी चिन्तन में है
देख तज के पाप रावण, राम तेरे मन में है
राम तेरे मन में है, राम मेरे मन में है -२
राम तो घर घर में है, राम हर आंगन में है
मन से रावण जो निकाले, राम उसके मन में है -२

All:
आ… हो… आ… हो… हो… हो…

मधुश्री
पल पल है भारी वो बिपता है आ‍ई
मोहे बचाने अब आ‍ओ रघु-रायी

All:
सुनो रामजी आ‍ए, मोरे रामजी आ‍ए
राजा रामचन्द्र आ‍ए, श्री रामचन्द्र आ‍ए
रामजी आ‍ए, मोरे रामजी आ‍ए
श्री रामचन्द्र आ‍ए हो

All:
सुनो रामजी आ‍ए, मोरे रामजी आ‍ए
राजा रामचन्द्र आ‍ए, श्री रामचन्द्र आ‍ए
रामजी आ‍ए, मोरे रामजी आ‍ए
श्री रामचन्द्र आ‍ए हो

Kalam flies on the Sukhoi

This is nothing surprising, given his indomitable appetite for breaking conventions and making firsts; yet again, we see a great man, cut above the rest, probably the only pride of this nation, when it comes to politics.

Jai Hind!

Had no time to be nervous on flight: Kalam
Last Updated: June 08, 2006 13:08 IST

(from http://www.rediff.com/news/2006/jun/08kalam.htm)

President A P J Abdul Kalam, supreme commander of the armed forces, undertook a historic sortie in the Sukhoi-30 MKI, Indian Air Force's state-of-the-art supersonic fighter aircraft, which took off from Lohegaon airbase in Pune at 10.25 am on Thursday and landed around 40 minutes later.Wing Commander Ajay Rathore, Commanding Officer of the SU-30 MKI squadron, flew the President at a speed of 15,000 km per hour to a height of about 25,000 feet"I was not at all nervous, there was no time to be nervous," President Kalam told this correspondent soon after landing back at the airbase. "Rathore guided me well."
"After flying this sortie, I know realise that India is in safe hands, our borders are safe. We have such good pilots, and good defence personnel."

As the fighter plane was expected to fly at supersonic speeds, Kalam donned a G-suit before boarding the aircraft. He was also briefed by senior Air Force officials ahead of the 30-minute sortie.

Kalam is the first Indian President to fly in the all-weather, air-dominance supersonic fighter aircraft. Previously, in February, he had undertaken a submarine voyage.

Two Sukhois accompanied Kalam's flight during which he was shown how targets are located both in mid-air and on the ground with the radar's help, Air Commodore M Banerjee, told reporters.

Kalam, who is on a two-day visit to Pune, entered the airbase at 09.15 hours, and was received by Air Marshal Ajit Bhavnani, Vice chief of Air Staff; Air Marshal P K Mehta, Air Officer Commanding in-Chief, South Western Air Command; and Air Commodore M Banerjee, Air Officer Commanding, Air Force Base, Pune. Air Warriors of the airbase presented a ceremonial guard of honour to the President at the lightning squadron tarmac.

Sachin at Kukke Subramanya

Little-known till a couple of days ago, all of a sudden lakhs of people now want to visit - or at least know more about - the temple town of Kukke Subramanya, 105 km from  Bangalore. Their inspiration: Sachin!

Sachin Tendulkar's two-day pilgrimage to the Kukke Sri Subramanya temple drew scores of fans. It also had them sourcing details from a website on the town.

As a result, the website saw over 17 lakh hits till 1.30 pm on Monday, leading to a server crash. The pilgrimage by Tendulkar, his wife Anjali, and his siblings Ajit, Nitin and Savitha, resulted in a massive 17,50,200 hits over Sunday and Monday on www.kukkesubramanya.com. The website received traffic from all over the world, while the town attracted scores of fans. Many e-mails and telephonic enquiries were received at the temple's reception office at Kukke Subramanya in Dakshina Kanara district.

"It was never like this in the past," said a source at the website. "Though VIPs from all parts of the country visit the Kukke Sri Subramanya temple, Tendulkar's visit has led to a deluge of enquiries about the pujas here." At the temple, Lord Subramanya is worshipped as a snake.

Tendulkar, wife Anjali, brothers Ajith and Nithin, and sister Savitha spent Sunday and Monday at Kukke Subramanya, performing rituals aimed at helping him overcome sarpa dosha - perhaps one of the factors behind his nagging injuries.

 

"He performed sarpa samskara on Sunday, and ashlesha bali and nagapratishte on Monday," said the source. "These rituals were recommended by a family friend, VS Nayak, living in Bangalore."

To fans eager to shake hands with him, Tendulkar said, "I've pain in my shoulders. Please don't disturb me."
