Saw Virudh today - little depressing movie, but Amitabh bachan gives another awesome performance. The amazing thing in the movie is how wonderfully traditional and modern have been blended.

One quote from the movie

Aadmi Bada nahin hota, badi hoti hain chunautiyan and aadmi mahan banta hai unhe sweekar kar

(There is nothing inherently great in any person, greatness comes by adopting great challenges.)

Wonderful Ghazal

Grabbed out of sujata's post

Tumko dekha to ye Khayaal aaya
Zindagii dhuup tum ghanaa saaya
Aaj phir dil ne ek tamannaakii
Aaj phir dil ko hamane samajhaaya
Tum chale jaaoge to sochenge
Humane kya khoya, hamane kyaa paaya....
Hum jise gun gunaa nahin sakate
Waqt ne aisaa geet kyun gaayaa...

Jeevan ke safar me raahi,
Milte hai bichad jaane ko,
Aur de jaate hai yaadein,
Tanhai me tarpane ko.

Alvida to ant hai,
Aur ant kisne dekha hai.
Ye judai hi milan hai,
Jo hamne dekha hai.
Yadon mein Aakar,
Tum yuhin gaate rehne.
Kabhi Alvida na kahna,
Kabhi Alvida na kahna.
