On birth of my most beloved "baby"

Few months back, I and my Husband had gone for a dinner, and from our usual discussion on various topics, our talk went to the food that night. While criticizing that we came to a point where we thought I can be a good food reviewer and thus we conceived an Idea, to start our own food reviewing website. A site where anyone can add review of the restaurant they like or dislike. We have to take care of this idea just like an unborn child.

As everyone knows, a child does not enter this world without mother going through labour pains. Same way we faced many problems attached with birth of this website. To start with, we could not finalized the “look” of the website, when we finalized the development took a lort of time. Ultimately just like a human baby, the website took whole 9 months to get ready and meet the world and face its part of challenges.
So, our most beloved baby, Daawat-e-khaas has come to this world, with its first official look. Though I guess I have to feed it very well to make it a healthy “cerelac” baby, I’m feeling extremely happy for its birth

Ghazal v/s Modern Music

While having bath, I heard the following talk on Radio Mirchi,Ahmedabad:

"Parth, Do you know Mehndi Hasan?"

"No Dhvanit, Who's he? Has he made one more rap of 'Kolaveri Di'?"

Dhvanit: "Ohho!! This generation!! Does not know anything,anyone beyond their choice. These guys don't know who Mehndi Hasan is, and tells us that we should listen to 'Kolaveri Di'!!!"

Well, now let me clear up some facts, here Dhvanit-the main RJ-is not much older,not more than 30 while Parth-his Junior- is in his early 20s.

But when Dhvanit blames "Today's Generation", it hurts-to GenX, to the Youngsters, to Me. Just for one reason, when we tells this so called older generation to try the music of our generation they tell us that 'IT'S NOT MUSIC' or 'U MUST CHANGE YOUR TASTE', but when it's about their music, every young and old INDIAN must know it, must like it.

No doubt Mehndi Hasan is a great Ghazal singer, but there are fair chances that people don't consider to listen a Ghazal in their early 20s or consider it as a very serious type of music.

And when we are talking about Ghazal and Raps,how many of those who are 'opposing' the modern music really have heard it?

Another example he gave was of "show off" of our generation. As per him anyone in their 20s asking for a pass of Saptak(An annual classical music festival taken place in Ahmedabad) want to be a 'celeb' in their group. Dear Dhvanit, can't that 20 something guy be a classical music fan? Can't he has knowledge of classical music? Can't he be learning classical since long?

It's the same like you just bitch about Younger Generation because they have something better to contribute to society. But then they forget that even their elders had bitched about them and they telling elder generation to 'understand' them.

It's like 'Maru etlu saru ne taru etlu kharab?'(Whatever is mine is the best and whatever is yours is worst?')

Just one question to Dhvanit, would not he take a verbal fight with Amit Sayani, if Amitji would tell him to change the way Dhavnit compare the show?

Well.. Nothing GaGa this time... Just two of my fav songs on friendship...

1st one is dedicated to my allllll friends!! Near and Dear Ones:

So no one told you life was gonna be this way *clap*clap*clap*clap*
Your job's a joke, you're broke, your love life's DOA

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month, or even your year

but..

I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cuz you're there for me too...

You're still in bed at ten and work began at eight
You've burned your breakfast so far... things are goin' great

Your mother warned you there'd be days like these
Oh but she didn't tell you when the world has brought
You down to your knees that...

I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you
'Cuz you're there for me too...

No one could ever know me
No one could ever see me
Seems you're the only one who knows
What it's like to be me
Someone to face the day with
Make it through all the rest with
Someone I'll always laugh with
Even at my worst I'm best with you, yeah

It's like you're always stuck in second gear
When it hasn't been your day, your week, your month,
or even your year...

I'll be there for you
When the rain starts to pour
I'll be there for you
Like I've been there before
I'll be there for you

I'll be there for you
'Cuz you're there for me too...

And this one is for all those who've forgot to be in touch since a while:

Raaston mein kho gaya hai mitra
Ajnabi kyon ho gaya hai mitra (mitra)
Kuch toh kami hai saavan
Saavan sa kyon na laagey mitra, mitra
Shaamo sehar kyun mann ka
Aangan yeh soona laagey mitra, mitra
Dhoop leke jo gaya hai mitra
Ajnabi kyon ho gaya hai mitra

Yaara kaaye yaara
Kaise jaane yaara bichhda
Yaara kaaye yaara
Sang chain saara bichhda

Dil ke taaron mein, kyon hazaaron mein
Dard jaage hain
Humne baandhe jo, reshmi saare
Tootey dhaage hain
Phir haathon yeh harjaana hai
Humko adaa kar jaana hai
Sirf yaadon ka taana baana hai
Kya chhupaana hai
Haale dil jo ho gaya hai mitra (mitra)
Ajnabi kyon ho gaya hai mitra (mitra)
Kuch toh kami hai saavan
Saavan sa kyon na laagey mitra, mitra
Shaamo sehar kyun mann ka
Aangan yeh soona laagey mitra, mitra
Dhoop leke jo gaya hai mitra (mitra)
Ajnabi kyon ho gaya hai mitra

Yaara kaaye yaara
Kaise jaane yaara bichhda
Yaara kaaye yaara
Sang chain saara bichhda

There have been growing at etreksana opojhita Sex / Love 's is not possible.




Daily Youth wants everything fast, he wants to lead, as expected. I choose not to do it together and it is, then, is that they are kariara Life.
The links here are the biggest problem is the question of when life partner. Boy / girl to choose her own with paranavum and there - with the parents to select the people to marry. The final results arise from this are either struggling and angry parents are either permanent life (and even vaipha) has an agreement with a partner shortly after the altercation with the results.


Like many of you have been automatically manamanam rusana then.


People believe that Love - Marriage is the ultimate result of divorce, but who am I to kapalsane also olakhum society (meaning that gharavala) of the opposition going to be married (ophakorsa Love Marriage), and four - with a four-decade.


I see a marriage ceremony, It's celebration of Love. Kase in the world - except India - Marriage and Love Marriage is not part of the arenja are provided. This great festival in which people are free to marry daughter tells the people's wishes were not seen.


This also means that the whole debate of Love - Marriage is a dream the same thing. Today's parents are now also changed, but the parents who saw the first event, but very low numbers. Mejoriti other social event like a parent. The sake of happiness to any child - parents need to see happiness in the marriage in respect of the people, not the "goats" will be martyred ..
