Translation for "Coffee Houser Shei" - Sung by Manna Dey

This is the translation for the song which I sang on Sep 23rd 2009, at Kali Mata temple, Rangehills, Pune. It's a beautiful Bengali song, sung by Manna Dey. Quite a nostalgic number. Here's the link for my video... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQ6moPWl1Ck Translation: ----------- Beginning part: --------------- Those get-togethers at the coffee-house are no longer there today....no longer there today Where have those beautiful evenings vanished away...they are no longer there today... 1st Stanza ---------- Nikhilesh is in Paris and Moidhul is in Dhaka, and we don't hear from them anymore, The guitarist from "Grander" group, Goaniz D'Souza is resting peacefully in his coffin, No one knows, what pain or shock he suffered in love, but Rama Roy is in a mental asylum today, Omol is in great pain, suffering from a deadly cancer, life didn't spare him at all. 2nd Stanza ---------- Shuja is the happiest among all of us today, she married a rich guy...

A guitar, a stage and a dream come true...

September 28th 2008 - A memorable day of my life Yesterday was a dream come true. It was my first performance on stage with the guitar, in front of an audience of around 300 people. Flashback to a day, which I vaguely remember. It was in Army School, Delhi. I was in my 5th standard and it was my music class, that afternoon. The teacher taught us "Jingle Bells" and everyone present in the class was supposed to come forward and sing it. I saw my fellow classmates trying their best to stimulate their vocal chords, and the audience having a real good time ridiculing every effort which the singer made. I too was enjoying the laugh, until that eventful moment, when I was chosen as the next guy to be slaughtered in the class. Till that day, I had never ever attempted to hum, let alone sing.

A plate full of paani-puri and kindness..

Yesterday, after office, I took my wife and daughter out to a small Paani puri stall near my house. My daughter enjoys having dry puris. So when I requested the guy, he gave her two.

Today, I am giving these to your kid, and someday, someone else will do the same for my kid)". And saying this, he gave two more to my daughter, who was delighted beyond words.. :) He told me that he works till 10:30 in the night at this stall, having dinner at 11:30 before working at a call center all night long, to earn more money for his family. He sleeps for just 3 hours every day. But the zeal and sparkle that this guy had in his eyes, with all this hard work and life style was just remarkable. I realized two things: People who help others probably are not the ones who have more than they n...
