Migration to Australia from India Post # 4 : Speaking English in Australia

Post # 1 about basic reasons of moving : Here
Post # 2 about finding a job in Australia : Here
Post # 3 about Finances and costs involved : Here

This video might be confusing to start with (if you are not yet here), becomes funny once you start getting the hang of it (will take a while of living in Australia to find it funny though), and might be important learning material (if you are struggling to figure what the hell is going on)

This is serious stuff I tell you, even if the guys seem to having a lot of fun making the video 🙂

Here is more slang that you need to remember

  • Ta = Thank you
  • Sparky = Electrician
  • Chirpy = Carpenter

ज़िन्दगी आ रहा हूँ मैं !!!

I wonder why I never posted this one earlier !!!

I have been in love with this song for over a decade now! I remember writing down the lyrics of this song for another friend called Prashant because he heard it from me and liked it too! and I have been told that I sing this one well!

Love to live by every word of this song, till I live !!!

This you-tube clip does not have the third antara of this song…

कभी तुझको गिला मुझसे, कभी मुझको शिकायत है
मगर फिर भी तुझे मेरी, मुझे तेरी ज़रुरत है…

मैं ये इकरार करता हूँ, मैं तुझसे प्यार करता हूँ -२

ज़िन्दगी आ रहा हूँ मैं !!!

The song is from the movie Mashaal, directed by Yash Chopra. The lyrics by Javed Akhtar and music by Hridaynath Mangeshkar!

Aarambh hai Prachand

Some songs have the capability to make you shut up and listen…. this I feel is one of those songs…

आरम्भ है प्रचंड बोलें मस्तकों के झुंड
आज ज़ंग की घड़ी की तुम गुहार दो

आन बान शान या के जान का हो दान
आज एक धनुष के बाण पे उतार दो

I have always liked Piyush Mishra as an actor… his screen presence, his dialogue delivery and most importantly his voice… There is something about it that I notice and I like !

Gulal has a few songs that Piyush Mishra has brilliantly sung, and he has done such a wonderful job with his lyrics, and music… One of the strongest lyrics and music of recent times… Hats off to him… Most of these NSD guys have brought so much to the Indian Cinema, but they are so under rated… anyway !!!

Another song that I “listen” to is “Raat ke Musafir” by Rahul Ram… I have always loved his voice, and way this song has been rendered with minimum music… just the acoustic guitar and Rahul’s incredible voice… sheer Brilliance !!!

मुकाम खोज ले तू
मकान खोज ले तू
इंसान के शहर में इंसान खोज ले तू

देख तेरी ठोकर से
रास्ते का वो पत्थर
माथे पे तेरे लग जाये न उचल के

ओ रात के मुसाफिर
तू भागना संभल के !

Here are the two songs which I have mentioned above, in case you have not heard them yet!

This song is set up in an environment of College Elections and brought back memories of the DU elections… There used to be so much at stake in this youth elections and being a part of them was an amazing experience! All is fair in love and war and “elections” was the motto I guess !

And here is Raat Ke Musafir:

And While you are at it, why not see/hear some more of Piyush Mishra… This reminds me so much of the Street Play times. I wonder where would I be if I had continued with my love of theater.
